"Tango & Cash"...charmingly contrived, much like a Bob Hope-Bing Crosby films...and the high throttle action never stops. See also Stallone's "Cobra"; I just love the opening scene of that movie, you can keep the rest. I even like him in "Rhinestone"! I can't understand why people can't accept his zany sense of humor. I'm still waiting for "Paradise Alley" and "F.I.S.T", I like him that much!"The Steven Segal Collection of Films"...no nonsense, straightforward confrontation/non-stop casualty action, totally without a purpose or reason...even though there is a script. Great to see if your mad at something. See also Joel Shumacher's "Falling Down"; perfect catharsis for modern living.
"The Billy Jack" Movies...a filmmaker communicating on an intellectual level, much like Oliver Stone, but unfortunately he was ahead of his time and Hollywood defeated him for his point of view. Stone is a survivor; he won't make the same mistakes. His "Billy Jack Goes To Washington" is a tour de force...but you cant convince ANYONE else about that.
"They Live"...I love the concept, and the deft handling of the EFX...unfortunately it falls flat somewhere 2/3's of the way through.
