@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gySherriff Teasle talking about, "F**king around with the law," and everything going to hell when HE was the one f**king around with the law first by harassing a guy as he walked on a road.
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyThe thing I remember mostly from the novel is the bat guano cave sequence. That was epic.
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyThe first half hour setup reminds me alot of #RebelRidge. I bet there are a bunch of movies like this where local police harass the wrong drifter and suddenly it escalates.
Sounds like a Reacher novel actually.
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyI seem to remember a lot of tactics in the novel about how John took out the local police in the forest, like he was using a tactic to injur them so that some of them would be stuck taking care of casualties.
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyIs this scenario in the intro even real? Could someone get arrested for being unshowered and walking through a small rural town in the 80s?

@kcarr2015.bsky.socialDirector just mentioned Jack the cameraman, who he worked with heavily in this movie to help make the film look colorful, and not just have a sepia tone.
@entspockhere.bsky.socialAh, now we can see the wonderful Julia Nickson. #FlicksForAll
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyAll the closeups of the weapons being loaded in the first part of the movie was done because they were all stuck in their hotel rooms when there was a hurricane raging nearby stopping all other production.
The show must go on!
It's no "Far From Over", I'm afraid. (Hey that's a legit banger) #FlicksForAll
@joetedjerome.bsky.social"Forget it Trautman, I'm walking back to America!"
Great time tonight, gang. Thanks to @allflicker.bsky.social for re-staging Vietnam *again*
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyThe base in Thaliand is a Mexican military base, and the producers got permission to use a couple of hangers.
As someone who's sat through more Cannon films of this period than needed, the slickness and lavishness of the production is admirable, I absolutely see how this scratched the itch of Americans especially in 1985. #FlicksForAll
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyGolden Buddha statue is actually a gold Styrofoam statue in a parking lot. 😆
Good night! #FlicksForAll
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyGonna restart this movie with the director's commentary and so far:
- movie was shot in Mexico
- most of the movie was shot near Acapulco, including the prison scene 😆
@allflicker.bsky.socialBoth Rambo movies tonight weren’t surprising in they delivered exactly on expectations though i have a new appreciation for 2’s cheesiness.
@rsmon77.bsky.socialIt’s more a sequel to this than the first movie. Still some ridiculous stuff in it. #FlicksForAll
@allflicker.bsky.socialWhat a night! thank you @joetedjerome.bsky.social @rsmon77.bsky.social @entspockhere.bsky.social @missroni.bsky.social @kcarr2015.bsky.social
