I first saw it long ago at about 15 or 16, but don't remember much. I remember thinking it's a "boring art film". Been watching it for the second time just this week and I'm now in my 40s.
Not even when he pulled down that bucket of white paint all over himself? I had a small chuckle.
I think they were a bit overwhelmed by the situation and didn't know where to start to get it done before their window of time closed.
Wolf had experience and connections to take charge in their crisis and give them the confidence they needed that everything was gonna be okay.
I loved this character, how he takes down the notes of the names and situation on his notepad before coming and drives his NSX so crazy, and when he arrives he asks coffee as they stand there stressed out. He had many interesting little things and words of advice.
Wolf would have been great as a stand-alone closed trilogy series of films:
The Wolf: Part I
The Wolf: Part II
The Wolf: Part III
He took charge in a crisis and had experience and connections to help take care of the urgent problem, gave the others confidence everything will be okay.
He was a very interesting character creation. Love how he takes down the notes of the names and situation on his notepad before leaving and drives the NSX like a maniac, and then upon arrival he asks for the coffee.
I wish we could have seen a scene of them driving to the car yard and how he would handle a cop car pulling up next to them.
They should have made a spin-off trilogy about Winston.
The Jupiter system mining and general look and feel certainly seem to have influence on Red Dwarf. I've always liked this movie and I've loved Red Dwarf since season one came out.
Yes, BHC2 is so different to BHC in its visual styling. I wish they had stuck with director Martin Brest for that sequel but he passed on it for some reason. He went on to make Midnight Run which is fantastic.
I agree, it's a comedy but it's not the type which makes you laugh much. It's just interesting and something not to take too seriously. We recently re-watched Ace Ventura as a family and that was a movie which made us all laugh, despite some moments which have clearly not aged well.
On the other hand, I read an interesting article the other day suggesting that we are creating children who are too anxious, too scared to do things on their own, unable to communicate properly and so on, because of how much we manage their safety so much and reduce the risks of something happening to them. I've taken small steps to alleviate this such as allowing my children to ride to the park at the end of the road on their own.
The article also discussed how this has led to a whole generation who are entering the workforce with a lot of problems (Gen Z) and clash with older generations as a result.
It sure has some interesting moments but overall I found there to be far too much spoken exposition which made it tiring to watch.
Thanks mate, love this site and hope it's something simple like a connection or server issue which can be resolved.
This is it. He didn't want the others calling for help or taking away his chance to get the shark.
There was a planned scene in Jaws to introduce Quint in the cinema watching Moby Dick and laughing. Gregory Peck demanded the scene not be in the film because he didn't like his own acting in it.
I think maybe he also pushed the engine too hard in an effort to stop them being able to leave the hunt.
I recall the main character saying to the injured dog that he'll be back for him and then we never saw it again.
I was hoping it'd turn up and somehow help save the day at the end.
I grew up seeing NSNA often so I'm more inclined to like that one. Thunderball is good but I prefer the style of NSNA as I guess I'm more used to it.
This is the only thing I've seen him in and felt his performance was much too low-key for the setting and story. The kid character thankfully made it relatable for kids that I was watching it with, but the main character was played by the wrong person. Someone more excitable would have made it a much funner film to watch.
I also found the woman falling in slow-motion onto the car quite graphic, the way her body moved on impact. Very well done.
A year later and here we are with AI-generated deep fakes and voice recreations fast becoming a big problem! Soon they will have those light-flash-mind-freeze guns and that will be it!
He was an amusing character. I don't recall him speaking any dialogue and the way he looked, his reactions and attempts to avoid the light gun had me chuckling.
Haha yeah, it's always stupid how helicopters can sneak up on people like they do in movies. Most of them are so loud due to the rotor blades literally chopping through the air. However, there are some types such as the Airbus H120 which are very quiet by comparison. But they almost never get used in film, and most helicopter sound is almost always dubbed over by a Huey sound (big two-bladed machine from the Vietnam War era).
Hmm, maybe it's like:
Seinfeld says what we all really think and D-Fens does what we all really wanna do.
And he has announced he will start using his real name productions in the future: Michael Douglas. However, he has added Keaton in the middle (to be known as Michael Keaton Douglas) to legally distinguish himself from actor Michael Douglas as required by the rules of the SAG.
I didn't mind it but it's definitely at the lower end of my Alien / Predator franchise spectrum. The slow motion scenes got quickly annoying.
