Film Poster

Another one that just couldn't be made today. So much wrong with it, but with more than a few flashes of brilliance and a incredible Douglas performance.

It seemed everyone I know watched this. Decided to watch thinking it was about a normal guy going psycho, it's more psycho goes nuclear. Had I known that I wouldn't have watched and would've deprived myself of quite a ride.

- Andrés Cárdenas I was surprised to find out nowhere is this listed as a comedy. But I guess that’s the case with most movies that haven’t aged well.

Didn't know what it was for until a year later when I saw the movie and noticed it. And yeah, it can't be made again.
- Andrés Cárdenas That’s so cool! I wonder what other classics you got to see in the making.

It was really a bike store in our area. Terminator 2, Heat and Speed also used the 105 freeway to shoot car chase scenes I saw too.
starrwulfe @kandr3s LA is one of those places where you could drive past something shooing on location and not even notice
