Great movies all.<br /><br />The Finger in the fries, Nash and the rig - those were truly iconic moments.AndyDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806906746754478064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993991.post-72529585275983136352009-08-25T08:24:04.929-04:002009-08-25T08:24:04.929-04:00Wow, just wow.

As a genre fan I'm delighted to find this blog and as a horror blogger I'm terribly jealous.

But now that i think about it a portrait of C Thomas's Soul Man head on a C Thomas Red Dawn body complete with AK47 might be pretty awesome.wiec?https://www.blogger.com/profile/10309538159614542664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993991.post-8928622198911014982009-08-22T13:02:54.181-04:002009-08-22T13:02:54.181-04:00This movie is one of the few that truly disturbed ...This movie is one of the few that truly disturbed me as a kid.

I think that's why Hauer's performance seems so odd, unlike your usual killer he isn't trying to kill the protagonist, he's trying to get the protagonist to kill him. That's also why I never found the violence too jarring - Hauer's obviously not human, so I suppose shooting down a helicopter, wiping out a police station, etc. isn't really that much of a feat for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
