I noticed a few of you guys talking about one of the great under rated actors of our time, Kurt Russell, in one of the threads. Here are three great Kurt Russell movies that i like.
Dark Blue, in this one KR plays a hard drinking corrupt cop who is educating his younger partner as to "the way it is". Murder, payoffs, planting evidence etc reign supreme as everything begins to spiral out of control in the days leading up to the LA riots. This movie is awesome. Brendan Gleeson and Ving Rhames are also in it.
Tango And Cash, in this one KR plays Cash, it's an action movie about two cops who are complete opposites, thin on plot and loaded with shooting, explosions, fights and wisecracks. It's got everything you could want from a late 80s action flick, Sly Stallone is great in this too, playing Tango.
Big Trouble In Little China, this is an absolute classic, KR plays a truck driver who gets mixed up in a fiendish plot masterminded by an ancient chinese wizard. Without giving away too much, a chinese girl with green eyes is kidnapped by an evil wizard in order to fulfill a prophecy which will result in him gaining eternal life, KR and his rag tag bunch of helpers attempt to save her. Magic, gunfights, strange creatures, wizards, kung fu, people inflating, lightning being shot from fingers, wisecracks and swordplay from start to finish. I've lost count of how many times i've seen this. It is wicked. |
