i'm kind of surprised that one ofthe shanghai movies didn't get the nod over rush hour. owen wilson and all!

I am just as surprised as you are.
It is highly possible that that list was pulled out of my ass. Hurriedly.

moley is right, though! that's what it is!

Why is it the US military? The US military is actually extremely diverse. Why would the US military be any more or less fascist than the military of any other country. Why is it Western foreign policy? What about what we were doing in 1997 bore any resemblance to the action in Starship Troopers? I certainly didn't hear about any boots-on-the-ground scorched-earth invasion operations in the Balkans.

At any rate, read one thread before you post self-congratulatory bullshit repeating what 90 other posters have already said better, then you don't get called a nincompoop. It's pretty simple.

I have yet to see Shanghai Knights.

Is it worth it?

Can anybody recommend any of Verhoeven's pre-Robocop work that's actually worth tracking down? (assuming it's available)

kingfish, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 06:11 (sixteen years ago) link

Flesh and Blood is pretty brilliant.

Just about all of his early Dutch films are worthwhile. Spetters, Soldier Of Orange, and The 4th Man are essential

hollow man is more interesting when you look at it strictly as a take on what horrible things a pretty typical asshole might do if given a chance to do them without consequence, and less as a "mad psycho scientist run amok" thing. but it's still a bad flick.
