VIC MORROW...GREAT CASTING!


He was so sleazy, dirty, and greasy looking...that he just perfectly
filled the bill for his character!

That being said, within the contest of the film,

HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RULE MY WORLD!

If I am going to be a punk, let you control me, tell me what to do;
I need to get something in return!

Your A$$ had better be good looking, smooth and cool!

You couldn't just be a po' trash bad ass; you've got to
come to the head of the gang with suave, cool, and a washed face!

Not some ugly, smelly, "I never take a bath or brush my teeth",
low self-esteem, wanna be powerhead!

The intimidation would not work for me either....because I can kick
arse, and if need be...go get me a knife and learn how to use it as well!

I enjoy this movie everytime I watch it....but Vic Morror's character
irritates me, not so much because he is a juvenile delinquent, which
is obviously essential to the plot/story;

but...because HE IS NOT A COOL JUVENILE DELINQUENT!!!

Yeah, I kept thinking "What that boy desperately needs to teach him some respect is a few whacks to the neck with a helicopter blade" And eventually I was proven right!

i was curious to see what this poster has also written because of brutish review he made on a film and my expectations were proven right with a comment like the one you replied to.

There's always that one *beep* who has to make a crack about Vic Morrow and helicopters.

I have a crush on Vic Morrow. :)

What`s the matter with the OP? Sniffing glue?

My issue with them casting Vic was the fact he would have stayed back at least 10 years.

I know they usually try to cast older actors due to experience, but his look was SO FAR OFF for a teenager, it was absurd.
