Nominated for an Oscar?! Holy crap!


Best make up! Chiun! That's wonderful. I thought this was just considered an average movie that people don't really care for. I've seen it probably a good 7 times. It's really charming, with great rewatch value!

Interesting. Not one you'd expect.

Average?

Not hardly. This was a major release, one of the year’s most expensive productions. It was released in fall —not summer — when more serious movies surface. I saw it in a theater in 1985 after a relentless, month-long trailer campaign. They had high hopes for this, expecting it to be the first entry of a successful franchise. None of that happened, and today it is a truly forgotten title.
