Loved that movie as a kid, really liked that it was based around Houston one of the 1st movies I remember doing that.
I probably watched Escape from LA a billion times on VHS. Not sure if true, but I read Kurt Russell actually hit that full court shot in the basketball scene.
A Boy And His Dog Starring Don Jonson, based on a short story by Harlan Ellison. My older brothers took me to see this for a midnight movie at the River Oaks theater. I was probably around 8 and it played no small part in my sexual awakening (towards girls, not dogs).
Coincidentally, I saw this article today. Looks like the prequel to Planet of The Apes. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ire-population-250-DOGS-throwing-heights.html
Espace from LA is underrated IMO, I really enjoyed that movie, I need to watch it again to see if it still holds up.
I noticed the RT scores for this movie were not very good. Couldn't figure out why so went back and watched it again. ******* Jodie Foster. She really is awful in this so I blame her. There is never a middle ground in her performances. She is either award worthy awesome or can totally wreck an otherwise great movie.
I think some of those low review scores are because the same director made such a phenomenal movie as his debut in District 9 that everything afterward felt like a letdown. Although I really liked Chappie for it's weird future South African underworld culture.
