This was a decent cop flick directed by Robert Hartford-Davis and starring Billy Dee Williams, Eddie Albert, Vic Morrow, Frankie Avalon and the always reliable Albert Salmi - man with a Finnish last name and roots.
Nice 70s laidback feel, good and violent action scene in the beginning and pretty cool car chase.
I got this very nice Aussie VHS tape from Lovers with Cassie. Damn i love these big original boxes!

Yeah, I am surprised there is any video stores left.

Verdict: Well, let's just say that it was as exciting as bry11g's thread on RV Covers.

Logan, yeah it wasn't really that bad. It was definitely a feel good movie, but it just got drawn out a bit long, and very different to how I would have handled getting my car back. All in all it was alright. 5/10 for me. Annie Potts looked very nice in that. Mark Hamill playing a 17 year old. Hmmm, I dunno. Mind you I guess all movies have guys in their late 20's playing teens.

I'm surprised Helen, by the look of the cover you would think it would be a cinematic masterpiece Posts: 2586 | From: Defrauding the company from abroad | Registered: Jan 2010 | Site Updates: 24

I watched Marathon Man last night. Probably only about the 3rd time I have seen it and it had been so long that I couldn't remember much about it which was good.
Obviously it had to end differently but did anyone wish that Szel got beaten to death by the Jewish people who recognised him?

"DER WEISSE ENGEL!!!!" I love that scene. I see what you mean, but he kinda had to face Dustin for the finale. One of my favourite 70's thrillers alongside Three Days Of The Condor.

Yeah, it is a great scene but yeah, there had to be a showdown. I am gonna check out Three Days of Condor. I love thrillers so I will have to check it out.

See also The Conversation and The Parallax View, even better 70s thrillers.

I prefer the first half of 'Three Days' more than either 'Parallax' or 'Conversation'. But I think the others are more complete movies.

The one problem I have with 'Three Days' is that you can kinda feel it is condensed material from a book. I've never read the book, but you still get a sense that they had to trim a lot of stuff. Which is understandable, yet still evident.
The Conversation bores me to tears, and The Parallax View is ok, but nowhere near Marathon Man or Three Days Of The Condor, in my opinion.

I really enjoyed Marathon Man. I thought Three Days was ok, but not very suspenseful. I have seen The Conversation before and yeah, it bored me to tears. Have not seen The Parallax View yet.
