I remember it well, watching it on VHS at my best friend's house (he was able to rent the 18-rated greats like Predator and RoboCop, and this, that I wasn't allowed). The recent remake lacked all the qualities that made the original so stylish and creepy and memorable.rennmaxbetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194685520231517099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-73136471426900827562011-09-26T10:01:21.630-07:002011-09-26T10:01:21.630-07:00@ Ingo: I loved that poster you posted of Blind Fu...@ Ingo: I loved that poster you posted of Blind Fury at the bottom of the review. I've never seen that one. It's hilarious, almost makes it look like a comedy. lol. <br />Also, how long is the uncut version of Shootfighter so I'll know which one to hunt down?robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-21642614102496009472011-09-26T09:53:07.364-07:002011-09-26T09:53:07.364-07:00@ A hero never dies: yea man!

Except I remember Lethal Weapon and No Retreat, No Surrender were the first films we rented. This seriously is one of my favorite films ever. It all works so well. <br /><br />@ Ingo: LOVED your review on Blind Fury. That is such a great film and done really well. And you can't go wrong with throwing in Sho Kosugi in for a final battle. :) Gonna go check out your review of Shootfighter in a bit!<br /><br />@ Ty: Thanks Ty! Definitely one of his best roles!robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-50120725297015296242011-09-25T21:08:47.066-07:002011-09-25T21:08:47.066-07:00Totally agree with your review.

At that time it was one of my favourite ever movies. I had a real thing for Hauer, I did a similar thing with Wanted Dead or alive, more Rutger magic.A hero never dieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075070081480449104noreply@blogger.com
