You plan, settle in and ...I hate when that happens. You plan, settle in and Netflix goes and takes it away. So many of mine have gone. Luckily I found a replacement DVD for one of my blind spots in parents collection - that was lucky.<br /><br />The movie sounds like epic fun!! I think my friend has suggested this for a drinking game a few times but I hadn't seen it - yet - we didn't use it but that can change. I love the fact the fx aren't super amazing - does that make a film feel better. No so super great fx can change a film into something superior just look at The Force Awakens, going back to old school way. There's someting about Kurt Russell too, especially back in the day, he can a blowhard oh so well. <br /><br />Katie Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176992567322682222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-84762006179468805452016-08-31T20:09:27.186-04:002016-08-31T20:09:27.186-04:00I know, right.

To be honest, I probably would've enjoyed it better had I seen way back when.<br /><br />It is representative of what was coming out at the time. By this time, Russell was a fairly well known commodity which makes it surprising this film did very poorly at the box office. It only pulled in $11 mil against a budget of $25 mil, which is pretty sizable for the era. Taking that into consideration, perhaps it's not so surprising I hadn't seen it.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-3886264658624082322016-08-31T19:52:59.454-04:002016-08-31T19:52:59.454-04:00I am surprised that this was a blind spot for you ...I am surprised that this was a blind spot for you Dell, it really seems right up your alley. While Escape from New York and Snake Plissken remain my favorite of this kind of action movie/role with regards to Kurt Russell this one is a fun dopey ride. <br /><br />This is so representative of films of its kind that were being churned out in the 80's, fast paced junk that managed to make a mint because they used B level actors and budgets and were undemandingly entertaining. They also relied on more or less believable action, somewhat heightened but not to the absurd levels of the later and increasing ridiculous installments of Die Hard and other trash now that have the feeling of video games rather than films where you're constantly yelling at the screen "Oh Come On! no one could survive THAT!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-86735870821914662182016-08-29T17:59:32.356-04:002016-08-29T17:59:32.356-04:00I know a lot of people adore this.

I just love the silliness of it as well as Kurt Russell doing his best to be a funny version of John Wayne. It's nuts and not afraid to be cheesy and not have everything work. Still waiting for that comeback film from John Carpenter.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
