When you think of the broad panorama of VHS-era action, your mind detonates with fast cars, helicopter chases, profanity, nudity, cocaine-ity, fisticuffs, stolen diamonds, FBI agents, defenestration, shotgun castration, men on fire and Casio soundtracks. But what if we told you there’s one single movie that impossibly squeezes all of the above into 89 minutes, not to mention sunroof gunfights, a car jumping over a school bus packed with screaming children, honkytonk brawlin’, bathroom kissin’, plus exploding cars, houses AND recreational vehicles?
I really wish that when he was falling from the building in the beginning he just started firing his gun into the air as a nice callout to all the continuity errors those old movies had.
I think it feels new because the trailer seems to be made in a modern way. I doubt the movie feels that modern. It’s $10 so someone watch it and report back.
The whole time I was thinking, dang it was probably really expensive to do all those stunts and treat post as an old movie. And hard to do the audio right. And now I’m thinking, woah, those were ambitious effects and stuntwork for the time!
