That was one weird movie. I have no clue what that was all about. I think whoever was working on it was on some of their own magic mushrooms.
There were places that my son and I thought did we miss something....but we hadn't...but I couldn't begin to explain that movie if I had to.
My son was calling it "Teenage Mutant Asians". I thought it was like a cross between Shogun and Ghostbusters. I thought ...what is up with the chinese dudes with the lamp shades on their heads, was there a clearance sale at Pier 1 Imports? The Chinese guy with the major Lee Press On nails...he has been in other 80s movies.
It had some funny moments...followed by complete and totally confusion.
I thought the special effects were great...I wanted that big Hairy Monster thing for my Halloween party...there was some great costume ideas in that movie for Halloween. I kept thinking I wonder what John Carpenter's house is really like at "Halloween".
Kurt Russell is never hard to look at in a movie.
I didn't know having green eyes was such a hot commodity. Someone told me in the 80s that I looked like Kim Cattrall...it must have been the green eyes and her hairdo.
My son said his friend told him that he loved that movie...my son said...he's got alot of explaining to do.
All I can say is...."the check's in the mail"- and I'm going to ride the Pork Chop Express.
That was total Randomness.

The three storms were so cool. Rayden is cool too but I love the originals. Especially Thunder. See him blow up at the end?? Classic!!

They looked like they had hampers made of shredded wheat on their heads.
I have never done drugs in my life...so I don't know what getting high is like, and don't care...but if I had to guess...after hearing about the mushroom thing...I would think that the way they acted on the one elevator scene was them being high...and it just had some kind of weird feel to it...that was so "out there"...like on another dimension or something...
My son thinks he'll need to watch it again, just to try and figure it out completely.
I thought some of the effects were so amazing...that's the kind of stuff about the 80s movies that made them so great. You don't see that in today's stuff.
I can really see where guys would like it alot.
The fight scenes were kind of gross at times, when they broke the one guys arm in half.
That monster that was a big floating head, with an eyeball in it's mouth...it reminded me of Slimer from Ghostbusters.

But what did you think of Kurt Russell?? He made the movie with his clueless but brave Jack Burton. My favourite ever character..
When he's busting the women out of the prison and Margo says to him 'What are you gonna do Jack'?
His heroic response?? : 'I have no idea'!! BRILLIANT!!

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

I definately like Kurt Russell...he was definately living in his own world as Jack Burton. He was a "fly by the seat of his pants" kind of guy.
My son watched it again today. He said they should make a video game out of it. He thought it could be really fun to play with. We were pretty much in awe of the effects.
The underwater scenes when they were swimming through the tunnels...I was thinking that when Kurt Russell did Poseidon, that he already had previous experience doing some of that stuff, and he probably thought that was all a little deja vu-ish.

'Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.'

I was busy this afternoon trying to put my house back together after my contractors got done redoing my livingroom, but I saw pieces of it, and at the end...I walked in the room, and said
"aren't you going to kiss her good-bye?"
and then said "NOPE".
So...I already know some of the words....and I only saw it once....
I think this movie could be hypnotic....if you stare in to the bright lights to much...you might find yourself at Pier 1 Imports with a hamper on your head.

Oh for the love of...
Please buddy, go out right this second, go to your nearest DVD selling store. Buy it. Look at the look of awe on the guy behind the counter as he gives you your copy of the movie he doesn't have but always wanted to have the balls to buy. Go home, watch it, then stand naked in your back yard and scream: 'I am a man'!!
You'll thank me for it dude!! Posts: 1069 | From: Dragon of the Black Pool Restaurant, Chinatown. | Registered: Mar 2006 | Site Updates: 0
