For a 90s film, this sure had some 80s film sensibilities: our protagonists get it on skeezily (and I assume criminally) on the business side of a one-way mirror in the lingerie shop/mall brothel. What a lark! She sure tried on a lot of thongs. And then our hero brutally rapes the schizophrenic woman in the parking garage stairwell because he had a bad day. Aww, she understands and gives him a tender kiss while he cries it out. Some Hollywood hotshots were really working through some anger issues and maybe a divorce with this one. Anxiously awaiting the sequel so we can find out if 3-Thrust Harry gets back with his wife and kid!

Seriously. Guess the filmmakers wanted their lead character to be the world's most pathetic lover. I agree with you;this lump of crap's only saving grace is Ironside. Oh... the credits are all the same size except for one of the producers, whose credit appears in teeny tiny letters; "also produced by Alexander Tabrizi" -- weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-69464925117225454992013-05-31T00:07:50.925-04:002013-05-31T00:07:50.925-04:00Nope.

(Although Lipton did play a pretty good hardass as the Warden on Arrested Development.)<br /><br />As for DOG SOLDIERS, I completely agree. In fact, nearly every single role in the history of film would be improved by an Ironsided switch in casting. Regardless, I kind of think of Liam Cunningham as a bizarre Irish fusion of Ironside and Jean Reno. Or maybe I'm nuts.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-11069611869970470522009-12-17T01:50:33.837-05:002009-12-17T01:50:33.837-05:00Ironside, Ironside, Ironside.

It doesn't seem to fit the rest of the movie though; Which leads one to believe they just told him to improv between Hamiltons lines. <br /><br />Not sure if I dig on the James Lipton vibe he has though: http://abfab.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/willferrelljameslipton.jpg<br /><br /><br />I wish ironside would have played in Dog Soldiers as Capt. Ryan instead of Liam Cunningham. I got a similar vibe though./<br /><br />-DCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-41977972081169800212009-12-16T16:45:25.883-05:002009-12-16T16:45:25.883-05:00Well CLASH OF THE TITANS is a real head-scratcher ...Well CLASH OF THE TITANS is a real head-scratcher of people who do (Olivier, Maggie Smith, Burgess Meredith) and DON'T (Hamlin, Hamlin, Hamlin) belong. And I guess we should be grateful that SAVE ME includes no scenes of Hamlin killing Ironside, Hamlin beating up Ironside, Hamlin defeating Ironside at arm wrestling, etc., because that might have been too much to take.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-11919806299089756162009-12-16T16:10:39.300-05:002009-12-16T16:10:39.300-05:00Wow, this film sounds really bad and yet I feel st...Wow, this film sounds really bad and yet I feel strangely compelled to check it out for Ironside's mind-blowing scene. Then again, I can't stand Harry Hamlin outside of CLASH OF THE TITANS and that's only 'cos Ray Harryhausen's creatures provide a great distraction from his wooden acting. Actually, that's an insult to wood.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
