The Tom Selleck film?Originally posted by QualityChimp View Post
Never seen it but the video cover always put me in mind of a producer demanding 'one of them Blade Runner films'

The VHS cover plays up to the BR vibe, but it's more of an alternative 80s with robots rather than the far-flung future. The gun he's holding is actually used by the bad guy, not Selleck!Originally posted by Atticus View PostThe Tom Selleck film?

Speaking of which, the bad guy is Gene Simmons and he looks totally evil! I had no idea who he was when I saw it as a kid.
It's actually more of a cop thriller than sci-fi film.
It's written and directed by Michael Crichton, who does a decent job, like on Westworld.
The score is by Jerry Goldsmith and has a cool Tron feel.
Loads of faces you'd recognise like Kirstie Alley (Cheers), Stan Shaw (Roots), G.W. Bailey (Police Academy), Joey Cramer (Flight of the Navigator) and Chris Mulkey (The Purge).

To manage the expectations of those who haven't seen it, it's aged really badly and the "futuristic" robots are hilarious these days!Comment

Ok, if you are using chrome, press "desktop version" in chrome settings, before pressing edit!Originally posted by QualityChimp View PostThe VHS cover plays up to the BR vibe, but it's more of an alternative 80s with robots rather than the far-flung future.

Has anyone seen Triangle on Netflix? Completely nuts. My sister recommended it but I read the intro on Netflix and thought it sounded balls, so left it. But later thought I'd give it half an hour. I really enjoyed it. Some seriously messed up scenes and even vaguely makes sense at the end which is nice.Comment

I will look out for that next time I pop the PS3 on.
Watched a very strange one tonight. 'The Man With The Iron Fists', it was doing the rounds on Film4 a coupla weeks back. It's Rza from Wu-Tang's vanity movie project. And it's all over the place, it's really gory, brilliantly shot with amazing locations and has Russell Crowe acting proper big daddy cool (he's the best thing in it, he's brill in this)
BUT
The Rza is a rubbish actor. He's made some of THE most iconic, genius beats in hip hop (seriously, nothing comes close to some of his 90s beats, they still sound like they were touched by gods). But damn he's baaaaad. No presence, mumbles, no charisma, oh god it just jumps outta the screen, it's jarring, he looks so amateur, especially when he's onscreen with Crowe, who is on fire. Lifeless.
He should've let his ego take a back seat, he wrote it, directed it, did the BGM, but in all honesty his title character feels like an extra who can't act, they should've got a better lead...
...but I think the point was to see Rza as some kind of vintage kung fu badass because that's what the fans want...and therein lies the rub.Last edited by JazzFunk; 07-09-2018, 04:07.Comment
