Classic Films aging badly

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

You left Raiders OFF the masterpiece list...?

Is it, tho?

I know that was an oversight.

Was it tho?

Your beloved Raiders was left out and the post will be there forever!!!

Commando directors cut > LW

First off.. WTF take that back

Second.. There is a directors cut?

I consider Lethal Weapon a flawless film within its genre and as far as accomplishing what it was set out to achieve. It's the quintessential buddy cop film and so much of that film has been copied, parodied, and become cliche, but structurally is a well made film. The film is ridiculous and over the top down to the acting and constant yelling, but its got great replay value. LW 2 was pretty good as well. Part 3 I didn't care for, but I liked 4. My only issue with 4 is the Riggs( Mel) looks nothing like the character from the first three films. Danny Glover looked exactly the same tho.

Thats cause Danny Glover looked 65 when he was 50

Lethal Weapon 3 has by far the worst villain and the film suffers for it.


I like them all but 3 is easily the worst one.

While LW is better in every way, I'd rather watch Commando because it's so crappy. My brother and I used to play "spot the mistake" when watching it because it had so many.

I've never actually seen Commando. All I remember is a Pay TV trailer "Stick around." or something...

That was Predator.

Commando was "remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied..."

Toy Story is a classic that looks dated when compared to current animated films.

 

[ZE_501]

That was Predator.

Commando was "remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied..."

THAT was it. Yeah.

 

[Khev]

THAT was it. Yeah.

Commando was silly schlock but it did have a clever premise. I really liked the "so now that we have your daughter you'll be forced to cooperate..." "Wrong," BLAM. You don't normally see the heroes immediately turn the tables in a hostage situation like that. I tend to hate it when the good guys almost always give up their weapons so easily when in real life all they'd be doing was dooming both themselves AND the hostage. So kudos to moments like McClane letting Ellis die, Cara Dune blowing away the Shuttle Tydirium pilot, and yes, John Matrix and the guy in the chair.

Him taking out the guys on the plane, sneaking off, and then having the whole film be a race against time to save her before the plane lands was pretty brilliant IMO. The rest...eh, lol.

Temple of Doom > Raiders


Suck on it, Wor.

Temple of Doom > Raiders

For me it goes:

Quality: Raiders

Rewatchability: TOD

I would expect that from someone whose favorite Batman is Batman Forever. Loud, noisy, frenetic.

Raiders is a better made film, but yeah, I like Doom more. I think Indy is cooler in it, always have.

I forgot he had to do all that before the plane landed. That explains why he kept looking at his watch. Sneaking off is an understatement. He jumped off a plane without a parachute, landed on his ass, and walked it off.

Agreed. Boy is he King Simp with Elsa in TLC though, lol.

Wasn't there a convenient swamp at the end of the runway though, lol.

The dinner scene is politically incorrect and culturally insensitive. #dated

Also, Indy hit the Asian boy. He really should have slapped the annoying blonde. She's Kim Basinger Batman level annoying.

Yeah, but wasn't the water below his knees?
