What a STINKER! (recollections as a kid when I saw FF in '82)

I remember seeing this movie as a kid, and going home with all my friends we kept saying "That was a piece of *beep*

We all seriously just flat out hated this BORING film. It took over an hour plus before Clint even got into the frickin' plane.

I just remember the group I was with
(we were all 8-12 years old) just hated this piece of crap.

Just watched it again (now as a "mature" adult)
and hoping that I would catch on things I may of missed as a kid.

Nope. The endless scenes of "Show me your passport" was like
being trapped in a room packed full of FARTS.

Clint really did make 'trashy' movies back then, it's good that he caught on
as a filmmaker so by the time he made "Unforgiven" he dropped a lot
of the idiotic implausible situations.

Also, the Vietnam flashbacks was just flat out badly done.

I know it was supposed to add tension..but why would the U.S. government
send an obviously deranged man on such of a deadly....

forget it.

Please don't bother answering.

I think it's more or less a case of mister Eastwood being out of his depth.

It's not that good a movie. The SFX are so-so to bad, the plot is actually okay, but the filming of it is just blow par.

In the end it's a fantasy, and not a very good one.
