It was fun, Fred Ward and especially Joel Grey were wonderful. And the great part is it was titled Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins!
Every year since then, I’ve expected to see Remo Williams: The Adventure Continues. Probably coming out this summer, so I’m not going anywhere just in case.
There was a TV movie that aired once in 1888, then was never seen again until 2009
Supposedly, Sony Pictures is developing a TV series based on the novels.
That’s one old TV movie!
Yeah; I don’t know if I’d call it a great movie, but it’s so much better than it could have been.
But not nearly as great as it should have been. The books are wonderfully pulpy. The movie should have been pulpy as well. Plus, you know, maybe having a Korean actor play Chiun.
They certainly averted the trope that “getting shot in bullet proof vest doesn’t hurt” in Robocop.
In the shoot out scene where Murphy ultimately dies he is shot multiple times in his vest and is screaming horribly. He is eventually killed with a direct shot to the head.
There’s a movie called 2nd Chance that covers more than you want to know about getting shot while wearing bullet proof armor. The movie is about the life of Richard Davis, inventor of the modern bulletproof vest, who claims to have shot himself 192 times.
I don’t get not calling it 192nd Chance.
If you watch it you’ll probably think of a few other things to call it.
I just saw an episode of Rizzoli & Isles where someone got shot multiple times. His vest stopped the bullets, but there were sufficient internal injuries to be life-threatening.
That certainly has more pizzazz. Second Chance is the name of the body armor company he founded.
Hell, Jack Bauer could be bashed in the head, stabbed in the gut, shot in the shoulder with a .45, and take a round from a Kalashnikov in the chest, all while making it through the night on a cup of black coffee and not pausing once to take a whiz or a dump!
If you’re searching an apparently empty house for the prime suspect and all that’s left is the dark basement, don’t bother turning on the lights. Just shine a flashlight with your less dominant hand supporting your dominant hand with your pistol.
And it’s best if you do this alone without calling for backup.
You need one of those special-issue torches which casts a thin but very bright beam and illuminates pretty much nothing except what you’re point at as well.
In the Rookie I learned that Ghost Guns are made of plastic, and yes you can make an operational 9mm semiauto and a AR15 close from plastic.
(For those confused- a “ghost gun” is made of of metal, the exact same metal as the original. Just that the receiver is bought unfinished , and the parts you can buy on-line. With some skill and a modest garage level machine shop, you can assemble a real, operational pistol with no serial number and untraceable. So far, these have not seen that much use in crime, but who knows? Somebody did make a one shot gun out of plastic to show it could be done. More of less kinda like the one shot Liberator of WW2)
When searching for forensic evidence, never turn on the lights. The darker the better.
And that man was John Malkovich
As in the most recent Batman film.
Or even that battle scene in the last season of GoT.
