I've just scanned it, and yes, I think it looks pretty rock solid.

I also want to add John Woo's The Killer and Hard Boiled...pure bliss of the action movie world.

Bloodsport too, great 80s movie.

Thanks. It's being released on Criterion DVD next Tuesday. Joy to the world.

Big Lebowski. Heat. Scent of a Woman...other pacino flicks.

From your collection (great set of movies) you would probably love the movie The Warriors. Great flick.

Blarg - you beauty! I thought I was the only person in the world who liked/saw the Hidden.

I love the stripper in this, she's perfect.

And a kick-ass car chase, huh?

Blarg · #40 10-20-2005, 09:21 AM

That was one of the most fun films ever. And yeah, the stripper almost killed me. She still stands out as one of the most mind-blowingly sexy women I've ever seen in movies.

The action was outrageous, and the acting was even really good and interesting, often funny, sometimes touching. Kyle McLachlan's acting choices were just really interesting to watch throughout. I remember him saying that he was trying to play the role as if he were wearing a mask and trying to figure out how to animate it. His alient just wasnt familiar with humans and didn't really know how to do what he needed to do, to come off right. It was great; everything he did became interesting.

And yeah, that car chase sure started things off with a bang.

And I loved when the possessed guy goes, "I want that car," and you know what's coming has to be bad. REALLY bad. The whole scene of him taking it was hilarious.

The commentary is good too. Amazing that Michael Nouri never went anywhere; he was so good in this and in Fright Night. The director comments that he had everything he needed and was talented and on his way, but his obnoxious personality guaranteed that nobody in Hollywood would ever want to work with him again.
