Oh, I’m gonna see that, too. I know it will be some close iteration of the previous ones, but it’s too hot for golf."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

The only thing about the latest Maverick is it’s hard to escape the knowledge that the mission would be much easier solved with missiles or drones, but there is some great footage. It is an homage to the first film.
I expect the same thing out of Jurassic 63 (or whatever)."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

DIMENSION 5 (1966)
d. Franklin Adreon
Starring: Jeffrey Hunter, France Nuyen, Harold Sakata, Donald Woods
Secret agent Justin Power, with the assistance of Hong Kong agent Ki Ti Tsu (France Nuyen), aims to stop criminal mastermind "Big Buddha" from detonating an h-bomb in Los Angeles on Christmas Day.
A year or two ago I discussed a James Bond ripoff called "Operation Kid Brother" that starred a bunch of 60's Bond actors and Sean Connery's brother. I was kind of hoping for something similar with this. But it was extremely disappointing. It's boring as hell for a 90 minute movie and has the production quality of a mid-60's tv show.
The cast is worth talking about a bit. Hunter and Nuyen were at a time big stars in the late 50's. If Hunter's name isn't familiar, he was the young kid that partnered with John Wayne in "The Searchers". Nuyen became a star in "South Pacific". By the mid 60's though, both of their stars were fading, which is why they showed up in this. But the main reason I wanted to watch it is because Harold Sakata (aka Bond's "Oddjob") was playing the film's demented villain. But he's totally wasted. He's barely in it before the final 20 minutes, he's in a wheelchair the entire time, and someone's dubbing his voice. And then he isn't killed by either of our two leads.
The movie just fucking sucks and is a boring waste of your time. I don't want to even get into the stupid gimmick that explains the movie's title. They have time travel belts. Yes, time travel belts. It's poorly explained and they barely even use them so whatever. It's crap. If you can still find a good looking version of Operation Kid Brother somewhere, it's so much more worthy of your time.

Saw Jurassic 32. The fx are better, but wow, the plot would make M.Night blush."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

EYE OF THE TIGER (1986)
d. Richard Sarafian
Starring: Gary Busey, William Smith, Yaphet Kotto, Seymour Cassel, Denise Galik
After being released from prison (I think it's mentioned at some point that he was framed or something), Buck Matthews returns to his home town to find it's been taken over by a drug-smuggling biker gang led by William Smith. Local Sheriff Seymour Cassel, who sent Buck to prison, is clearly on the take and warns Buck to keep his nose out of things. But one night when a group of bikers attempts to rape a nurse, Buck rescues her and becomes a local hero, earning the wrath of Biker chief Smith.
They show up at his house and drive through his windows and walls. He ends up beaten, his wife ends up dead, and his daughter lies in a hospital bed comatose from shock. The bikers show up to he funeral and terrorize the mourners. And later (in a pretty crazy scene) the bikers dig up his wife's coffin and drag it behind their bikes all around town before leaving it at his doorstep. It's payback time, motherfuckers.
He calls in a favor from a vaguely Hispanic druglord whose life he saved in prison and gets a suped-up F150 in exchange. Yaphet Kotto is one of the Sheriff's deputies but also a 'Nam buddy and he eventually says 'fuck it' and helps out by dropping grenades from a biplane. The Sheriff and the bikers gets what's coming to them but it's kind of, meh, mediocre action overall. A pretty good revenge setup fizzles out over time.
As for the title? I think they just wanted to use the song. That's it.
