Its completely awful. The pinacle of 80's action flicks - horrible (yet wonderful) one liners abound. ("Chill out." from Stallone after blowing a bad guy away on top of the frozen food section, anyone?) Its got one of the 80's creepiest villains (the Night Slasher) with his bad ass knife:
And we can't forget Stallone's equally bad ass (and physics defying) 1950 Mercury. So sad to see that one go in the flick.
You can catch the car chase out
here (but don't spoil it for yourself if you've never seen the movie)
Definitely not one to sit down and watch with the wife (or girlfriend), but if you've got a couple hours to kill and are at least a passing 80's action movie fan, this one gets a thumbs up (in a so awful that its good in a nostalgic way).
I'm still not really sure why this movie is on my mind, but it turns out I'm not the only fan - the folks over at i-mockery.com have a pretty darn good write-up on the flick. If they don't make you want to watch this movie (again), well... nothing actually. I just like it.
