Killing Blue (1988)
Stretched my suspension of belief in a bad way
Other than interesting looking locations and extras, I couldn't find much of interest to keep me watching. The acting was OK but I just couldn't buy things in the script such as:
- the old cop physically dominating someone younger - a cop that won't shoot a criminal who's clearly pointing a gun at him (I don't buy the psychological angle) - a police precinct where you can drink beer on the job
The fact that all the cast actually spoke in English, while it was obvious they were all in Germany, also hurt the film for me. It just intensified all the other incongruencies in the script to make the film feel like a naive attempt at an American style cop movie.
Still, given the previous positive reviews here, I will give the movie another chance in the future. Maybe my opinion of it will change.
Twister's Revenge! (1988)
People watching
I've enjoyed it mostly for observing how people are dressed, and how they look. Lots of interesting looking characters, particularly in the Tanglewood bar. :)
I really enjoyed the scene where the big girl and her backup singers were performing a song ("Love Birds"?). The performance was really charming.
I'm pretty sure the scene was also a reference to Star Wars as the bartender was wearing an alien mask, and one of the bikers looked like Chewbaca!
I really wasn't paying much attention to the "plot", however, and neither of the leads is very interesting. The villains were slightly more interesting, specially the dumb one (looks slightly like Chuck Norris).
