1984
Michael Pare
Amy Madigan
Diane Lane
Deborah Van Valkenburgh
Willem Dafoe
Bill Paxton
E. G. Daily
Strange film that's part action, part musical directed by Walter Hill. Mercenary (Pare) goes ballistic when his girlfriend, a singer, is kidnapped by a gang. May well be remembered for production design but this feature is often underrated and overlooked.

stunt man box

STUNT MAN
1980
Peter O'Toole
Steve Railsback
Barbara Hershey
Highly recommended movie. Director Richard Rush made this masterpiece. It should have won at least 4 academy awards. O'Toole plays Eli Cross, a movie director with a vicious streak. Cameron (Steve Railsback) is a Vietnam Vet on the run from the cops. Forced to become a stuntman, Cameron falls for the leading lady (Hershey) but the cops are still too close and Cameron thinks Cross is trying to kill him too. Cult classic.

takin it off box

TAKIN IT OFF
1985

WHAT'S UP, TIGER LILY?

The box cover pretty much explains this teen sex comedy. Us wimps like sex too ya know!

ZONE TROOPERS
1985
Timothy Van Patton
Tim Thomerson
Is that alien giving us the finger? Interesting mix of World War 2 and science fiction. The Germans have discovered a downed spacecraft and the aliens are trying to get away. Naturally, American soldiers caught behind enemy lines have to save themselves and the aliens. Better than average for its kind.
