@allflicker.bsky.socialExpendable mean an entire late carrer movie franchise, honey
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyJohn has a lucky short sword.
It's wild how Vietnam was filtering everywhere into pop culture when I was an '80s tot. Aside from those Time-Life book commercials that were everywhere on basic cable, my introduction to the whole business dramatically was the Jem animated series with the Vietnamese orphan Ba Nee. #FlicksForAll
@allflicker.bsky.socialThe man was so ahead of his time!
Die Hard 4 had both a hacker kid and an Asian lady soldier in it!
I saw that in a theater! #FlicksForAll 🤪
@rsmon77.bsky.socialLooks like Rambo accidentally fell into Indiana Jones' Temple of Doom - or at least the Temple of the Forbidden Eye at Disneyland! #FlicksForAll #RamboFirstBloodPart2
@rsmon77.bsky.socialThe cinematographer also did a pretty good 60’s jungle adventure flick, DARK OF THE SUN, with Rod Taylor and Jim Brown. Also might be the first chainsaw battle in cinema. #FlicksForAll
It's not even the goofiest movie he lensed in this decade, his final film in 1987 was Million Dollar Mystery for Dino De Laurentiis! #FlicksForAll
@rsmon77.bsky.socialCameron’s script had Rambo team up with some computer hacker kid. Obviously no romantic tension form that, so we got a lady soldier. #FlicksForAll

Seeing Napier's character unconcerned for Rambo reminds me of "Sherman of Arabia" where Jay ends up hostage in Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War and tries sending out rats with notes attached. Some make it to the US but as far as his boss is concerned it's "Bill, bill, rat from Jay..." #FlicksForAll
@toptags.bsky.social@allflicker.bsky.socialIt looks mighty impressive on tubi
this was shot by the legendary Jack Cardiff of Black Narccius and The Innocents.
Those colors don’t run
@rsmon77.bsky.socialThe cinematography was done by Jack Cardiff, director of PEEPING TOM and cinematographer on many classic Powell and Pressburger movies. #FlicksForAll
@rsmon77.bsky.socialI got it on 4K, so it looks pretty good. #FlicksForAll
@allflicker.bsky.social“I always believed that the mind was the best weapon”
get a haircut, hippie
And future media mogul in The Critic! Duke Phillips is one of the funniest animated characters in TV history. "Jay, you gotta help me, I thought I was getting 'Diff'rent Strokes!'" #FlicksForAll
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyThis picture looks really good upscaled from the DVD on my player. Must look fantastic on whatever you guys are watching it on. 👍
