Lo
I remember renting this and my D&D friends and I watched it during an all-night hangout. It's a junky throwaway basic cable action movie that somehow stays fun to watch.
I just realized, after watching your reaction, that I saw this in the theater in 1992. I barely remembered any of it, including having seen it.
I like Estevez much better in Repo Man (1984). His trademark blasé persona is perfect for that movie. Here, not so much.
As a billionaire he can fix the future. Whenever I watch this movie I sing 🎶 moves like Jagger! 🎶 😂 I remember renting it when it was brand new 📼 I was like 🙄 “He sucks!”
Remember this movie from TNT or TBS in the 90s or early 00s. Mick Jagger and Renee Russo are the only reasons to watch this movie. I think Emilio Estevez makes wine now? Maybe his true calling after Mighty Ducks
To be fair, I'm sure he made millions in them and was able to coast on it for the rest of his life making wine. :D The last thing I heard about him personally was that he found the Jesus and was rather vocal about it.
Since you mentioned Ron Shusett...Here's the origin of the movie Alien... Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon wrote a script called "Star Beast" which you can find on the internet and read. It is the inspiration for what became Alien. it's very different; the characters, the creature etc etc. but the premise is there... astronauts go to a planet one guy gets impregnated by an alien... then the alien hunts them down 1 by 1 until the last survivor kills it. David Giler, a producer on Alien, is the one who took the script and re-wrote it into the version of Alien we know today (Walter Hill did some revisions). Interestingly enough... there's a few ideas in Star Beast that were unused in Alien... but actually showed up in Prometheus. that's how Shusett and Bannon got a story credit. they were NOT HAPPY their script was changed. Giler is the one who added the Ash/Android subplot and I believe he is the one who came up with the idea that the last survivor be a Female character.
Haven't seen this since like 1994,and I remember absolutely nothing about this movie lol, except for thinking it was meh at the time
Anthony Hopkins got his last laugh by actually being married to Rene in the Thor movies. You should check out the IMDB trivia page for this film, some fun tidbits. Remember watching this one on late night television, fun schlock movie but not really deserving of a theatrical release.
I had heard of this movie but had never seen it.......now I have
