Better one for Off the Mark would've been " Off base... and missing the mark."

Mean John Barrows, 1976

Langdon Alger Stole the Highlights (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 8 December 2020 19:26 (five years ago)

From the wiki synopsis:

Meanwhile, a Mafia war starts brewing between the Racconi family and the Da Vincis (the family, not the painter).

White Lightning is an okay movie but def not as exciting as that poster would make it seem... I don't really remember any police-car explosions for example. For a while Burt Reynolds is wearing the EXACT same style of blue snap-button cowboy shirt that I thrifted ages ago and wear to all manner of fancy occasions, so that was cool. The main thing the film's lacking is Jerry Reed's fantastic theme song from the sequel.

Revenge Of The Cheerleaders, 1976

Starring Jerri Woods Rainbeaux Smith Helen Lang

"it's a family name"

I have seen this film, and the poster does not mention the minor but pivotal role of David Hasselhoff as star jock "Boner"

ffolkes, 1980

(released as North Sea Hijack overseas with a more intense poster, and on youtube in full under that title)

huge rant (sic), Saturday, 12 December 2020 19:52 (five years ago)

Moore, Mason, Perkins. Add Michael Caine and this would be the ultimate 70s "international thriller."

Langdon Alger Stole the Highlights (cryptosicko), Saturday, 12 December 2020 20:43 (five years ago)

Poster makes that look way more amazing than it probably is.

chap, Sunday, 13 December 2020 01:09 (five years ago)

Forgot about that movie.

Robert Gotopieces (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 13 December 2020 01:27 (five years ago)

Poster makes that look way more amazing than it probably is.

Absolutely otm, but it's a dece enough thriller. The linked US poster sets the tone better, at the expense of Moore's anti-Bondian asexuality.
