Lesser Lester Week
You probably know the work of two-fisted action master Mark L. Lester from films like COMMANDO, CLASS OF 1984, FIRESTARTER, and SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO.
Lester explains to Arnold that the proper pronunciation of "Jenny" is actually "Chenny."
You may even have seen his talents on display in deeper cuts like ROLLER BOOGIE or EXTREME JUSTICE. Well, we're not going to be discussing any of those. This is lesser Lester week, so prepare yourself.

ReplyDeleteMike B.,
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
Jack,
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm hoping to squeeze it in––is it good?
J.D.,
Don't get too excited––some of these are pretty rough goin'.
Cannon,
I try to listen to the COMMANDO soundtrack at least once a month.
Yes, Night of the Running Man is pretty good for a DTV/Cable flick. Andrew McCarthy is strangely compelling as the lead - a taxi driver who runs off with some mob money - and Scott Glenn is "on fire" as the hitman sent to track him down. Most memorable thing about it is a torture sequence halfway through that I've never seen in another movie. It's not gory or anything but very wince inducing.
