Hanging from a clock?


Why is that image the poster/boxcover?

reply

No idea. This is the first time i've ever seen that image. European dvd art or something?

On the one hand, it summons up any number of photographs from old Harold Lloyd pictures (namely Safety Last of 1923 in which Harold hangs from a clock the same way) but..who remembers Harold Lloyd -- either today or back in 1991 when this came out?

On the other hand, the image also suggests how Stallone's "reformed gangster" Angelo "Snaps" Provolone is "up against the clock" to deal with other gangsters, bankers, and the various romantic entanglements of his daughters and their intended men.
