Love this movie. A great movie with a heaping helping of Arnold one liners. This is one of those movies at the end of the analog effects. Most effects here are analog and practical. Not the least of which is the decompression scenes, which were done with puppets. I am willing to bet Arnold Schwarzenegger holds the record for how many special effects puppets and dummies were made of him, going back to Terminator. Jerry Goldsmith's score levels the movie up even more. This was when he was still being so innovative, like in TMP. In later years, Goldsmith would still make lovely scores but he would recycle a bit too much.
Arnold's greatest role will forever be Mr Freeze, I'm sure everyone is in agreement on that, but this is a very good choice.
Haven't seen this film in a long time. Good choice. Looking forward to revisiting it.
I used this poster as invitatiton frontpage for my last milestone birthday. Only replacing my face and name instead of Arnold's. And fun nonsense as "credits". He is my fellow Austrian after all, although I didn't like many of his movies. This? Hell yeah!
Great choice!
This is a fun movie, I saw it in a theater when first released....but it's just a little bit to bloody for my tastes. I felt a lot of it was just unnecessary.
The bloodiness had to be cut down for an R rating.
Big Jerry Goldsmith fan, but I do not like this Verhoeven film. It isn't as well written as it needs to be. Far too much pointless graphic violence and raw chunks of plot scenes thrown on top of the gratuitous splatter every 15 or 20 minutes. This story would have worked better with a non-action movie star as Quaid.
I'm not a Verhoeven fan at all, honestly. But the 1980's love of action heroes and the TR remake in the 2000's that flopped would disagree with you. I think Starship Troopers is a bigger "pointless graphic violence" film in that vein and not nearly as entertaining.
Nice Choice Great Director This is his second major Hollywood directorial presentation Formerly This director did a series of low budget movies in the Netherlands and was considered to direct Episode 6 Return of the Jedi The director wasquoted as saying Lucas decided not to use me because he figured 10 minutes into the film all the Jedi’s would be fucking
Or dismembering each other.
In Canada, Crave but only with the Starz extension. Or with ads on Tubi or CYV.
Pre-Basic Instinct Sharon Stone ❤️
Classic pre “Basic Instict” Sharon Stone check out Wes Cravens “Deadly Blessing”. I snuck into my local drive in to watch that when I was 14
a fun romp
Nice pick, classic movie!
Great movie, it's a ton of fun.
"TA, you make me wish I had three hands..."
Now THIS is a movie, damn it. Finally lol!
Get your ass to Mars, boys and girls!
Nice choice so much better than what gets voted for #bitter #akira
Just make sure they get the right English dub for Akira when it’s finally picked!!! 1989 one has bad dialogue by Streamline Pictures 2001 one is much better by Pioneer I usually don’t like dub but I think it really works with this movie.
