Nighthawks (1981)

John Rambo and Lando Calrissian hunt Roy Batty in the streets of early '80s NYC.

Okay-ish.

On a related note, it's a bit sad to me just how much both Billy Dee Williams and Rutger Hauer got relegated to mostly doing low budget B movies for much of their careers when you consider their acting talent.

Watching Kubrick Paths of Glory. Some people are not fit to be in command of anything.

"Those About to Die", Amazon.
Well it ain't 'Rome' or even 'Spartacus, Blood & Sand'
Rather stilted in it's dialogue, intrigue and plot so far, despite the likes of Anthony Hopkins and other competent cast members. A bit "Disney" in it's atmosphere.

This was so brain dead

https://www.amazon.com/Cobra-Sylvester-Stallone/dp/B000GOTESO

The book it's based on was also made into another 1995 movie

The last thing I saw Anthony in was Westworld. He was utter brilliance on that series.

I vaguely recall watching this decades ago. I suppose I should watch again, but I doubt will be close to as good as "I Come in Peace."

Cobra is excellent and scratches a 80s action itch. There is no need for modern "deconstructionist" filmmaking. This is raw testosterone. No, not a four star movie, but a fun watch, nonetheless.

Cobra is a standard 80s movies with the required music video style sequence of fast quick seconds frames edited together with 80's background music that I am beginning to learn it was common in 1980s movies.

Yes. Sharks in the Paris river. I liked it and the ending allows it for another season.

Just dropped on Netflix. Incredible that season 1 was August 2022. I will watch it. Season 1 was fun.

KLEO season 2

https://www.netflix.com/title/81216677

Looking back a couple of us enjoy it

She was also in the hilarious, uncouth midgets movie, "Under The Rainbow." You should watch.

She looked absolutely gorgeous in that movie but the movie was utter trash.
