Never really thought about that before but you've got a point.
And if Tom Selleck had played Indy instead (and I'm glad he didn't), maybe Ford wouldn't have been able to soar above Star Wars either.
She was in a slapstick comedy with Sid James called The Big Job (1965) and she was really sexy in that.
I think that was the first time I ever saw her.
The silly abrupt ending fits the gang, and it was also foreshadowed throughout. I never had a problem with it.
The original Joey
I'll never understand why George Miller thought it was a good idea to have Max do the opening voiceover.
Max loses his cool, mythic quality by narrating his own story.
One of my favourites of Hitchcock's. I think the time flies by, and I really like the lead actor in it.
Yep. And Caroline Munro. Don't forget about her.
For me, he'll always be the best. I'll never understand how someone who looked like Peter Cushing - skinny, almost boney looking - managed to come across so cool and be so watchable on screen but somehow he did.
Likely never now. Furiosa's flopped and George Miller's pushing 80.
I like it, mainly for Connery, but it does have a weird tone to it. On the one hand, you have scenes of gritty violence in it that wouldn't look out of place in one of Scorsese's gangster films - De Niro with the baseball bat, Connery being machine gunned down - on the other, there's scenes where it feels like an old-fashioned John Ford type film, especially with the music at times. It's a little jarring.
I like it but I don't think it's great.
Sean Connery was good looking
Still looks good though, and much more like an actual city than the Gotham in Returns where 99% of the time you just saw the exact same area. Looked very fake and limited in scope.
Yep, Nicholson's the best Joker.
Each to their own. It's one of my favourite films. Connery and Caine were brilliant together.
All actors who make it are lucky. It requires a lot of luck and coincidence to make it. I'm not saying many don't back that luck up with talent of course.
And to be fair to Ford about Indy. Contrary to common belief, he was actually Spielberg's first choice for the role. It was George Lucas who didn't want to work with him again because he felt they shouldn't have more than one collaboration together at the same time. (Raiders obviously came before Return Of The Jedi). So he told him to find someone else, and thankfully, Selleck couldn't do it.
I know The Road Warrior is the superior film, yes.
Modern audiences tend to have poor taste.
Mad Max 1 and 2 are raw, unpolished, uncompromised classics.
