the room is , as you can see , quite dark . it faces north and while these painted rooms worked well in sunnier climes , as seen , no doubt , by teh 5th earl of exeter on his grand tour of europe , the decoration does cast rather a gloom in the cold lincolnshire light . the room was originally designed by the 5th earl as a state dining room , but its chilly aspect meant that it gradually fell out of use : the kitchens were a long way away and the food was invariably cold when it reached the hungry diners waiting in this room ! eventually it evolved into a second billiard room and then into a music room until 1990 when the painted surfaces of the room were extensively restored . the room is now fitted up for display and the dining table is set up as it would have been for a formal dinner during the victorian era . the west wall , below… .

the final destination series is somewhat notable among horror fans in that there are currently no survivors ( with the exception of kimberly corman and thomas burke from final destination 2 ) . alex and clear were the survivors of the first film but in between the course of the first and second film alex had died . clear dies in the second film . and as for the third , fourth and fifth film every one dies in the end ( although the deaths of wendy , kevin and julie can only be seen in premonition ) .
the room now contains articles that had to be removed or put out of shot during the filming of pride and prejudice : this bust , below , of the duke of wellington would have been highly anachronistic for a film set in 1796 , when he was merely a colonel serving in the netherlands and india .
interstellar is also great because the plot , at least part of it , is based on real science . physicist kip thorne acted as science adviser on the film , and he had a say in how the wormholes and black holes in the film looked . the result is possibly the best wormhole scene on film to date , outside of contact , which also incorporated thorne ' s vision of wormholes .
the series is notable among horror film fans for it ' s inventive death scenes and that the franchise is like typical slasher film series ( like friday the 13th , scream or the texas chainsaw massacre ) only there ' s no actual killer , just death itself .

kyle henry is a writer / director who hasn’t written a movie since 2005 . and if his last effort , room , is any indication , that’s a good thing . that’s not fair , the movie’s not a total waste . it does show promise . unfortunately , it gets right up to the moment of truth , stops at the precipice , then laughs in the face of that promise and says , “suckers ! ” , then turns tail and runs while the credits roll , leaving the audience saying , “wait , what ? ”

nicolas winding refn ‘s the neon demon is a beautifully shot yet polarizing film . it’s either shallow , pretentious , sensationalistic and self - indulgent or a bold haunting hypnotic work of suspense . i’m still not sure if i liked it or not , but it has certainly remained with me since my viewing of the film over the weekend . my reaction is typical — the movie has gotten a very mixed reaction from critics and film geeks .
inspired in part by her growing love for cambodia — where she would eventually buy a house , become a citizen in 2005 and work for environmental conservation , education and other causes — jolie started working with the united nations as a goodwill ambassador in 2001 , devoting more and more of her time to humanitarian efforts around the world that continue to this day .

lady catherine , who was played by dame judi dench , is always shown in a sack dress ( this purple confection was on show at burghley house in the bow room tin 2005 - 6 , and it was magnificent ) which would also have be seen as old fashioned in 1796 . i can only conclude that the filmmakers wanted to depict lady catherine as grand and slightly set in her ways , which character traits were reflected in her choice of food and of dress . qutie a clever conceit , bearing in mind how stubborn the old bat could be… . .
the film opens with two engineers and entrepreneurs , abe and aaron , building electronics in aaron ' s garage . after achieving some success with their latest project — a room temperature superconductor — they discover it has an unexpected side - effect : creating time loops . everything they place inside the box runs back and forth through time for roughly 1300 iterations .

the science - fiction psychological thriller was the debut film of writers / directors eric bress and j . mackye gruber . it used chaos theory as the premise of its ludicrous plot ( similar to a negative reversal of it ' s a wonderful life ( 1946 ) ) , stated in the film ' s opening :
meanwhile , the cult of the room grows . increasingly , the laemmle sunset 5 shows the movie on two screens , due to demand . fans have begun to re - create scenes and post them on youtube . wiseau is mulling the possibility of turning the film into a broadway musical and would like to dub it in french and spanish for a possible european theatrical release . he also , ambitiously , wants to screen the room at the staples center , which has a seating capacity of 20 , 000 . ”we live in america . so everything is possible ! ” he says .

it seems odd that a mountain lion would break into a second floor motel room , but the city of pasadena does warn that the wild predators frequent the city . the imagery in the neon demon is often times not so subtle but in your face . the image of the mountain lion tearing up the motel room is surreal , and i think this is one way that refn is setting up audiences for what is to come .
ultimately , it really doesn’t matter whether the comedy in the film is intentional or accidental . wiseau always planned for the room to provoke a reaction and entertain , and it has certainly done both those things . and how many other independent filmmakers can claim to have entranced — and even influenced — such a roll call of comedic luminaries ? ”anything that i’ve seen that many times seeps into my subconscious , ” says david wain . ”in the same way that steve martin or woody allen movies became part of my vocabulary , that’s what happened with the room . i’m laughing just thinking about it ! ”
the room opened at a handful of cinemas in l . a . on june 27 , 2003 . the director , who self - distributed the movie , offered a free soundtrack cd for ticket buyers , and promoted the film with a tv and print campaign that compared the room to the work of tennessee williams . wiseau rented a billboard on highland avenue , which featured a close - up of his glowering visage , and submitted the film to the academy awards , without success . cast member robyn paris recalls the film’s premiere screening as ”a big deal . tommy rode in a limousine . there was a spotlight set up . it was pretty packed . everyone in the theater was crying with laughter . ” not everyone found the film so amusing , however . variety critic scott foundas noted that it ”may be something of a first : a movie that prompts most of its viewers to ask for their money back — before even 30 minutes have passed . ” foundas also called wiseau ”a narcissist nonpareil whose movie makes vincent gallo’s the brown bunny seem the apotheosis of cinematic self - restraint . ”
oh , what a room ! thank you so much for this series set inside burghley house , julie . i’m enjoying it immensely , and you’re making it swiftly move up the list of “places to visit next . ”
early in the film , there ' s a striking image . we see a vast empty room , with rows of what look like abandoned lunchroom tables . then we see the room when it was enron ' s main trading floor , with countless computer monitors on the tables and hundreds of traders on the phones . two vast staircases sweep up from either side of the trading floor to the aeries of lay and skilling , whose palatial offices overlook the traders . they look like the stairway to heaven in that old david niven movie , but at the end they only led down , down , down .
a man gets violently drunk and is chained to the wall in a police station . his friend comes and bails him out . while the friend is making a telephone call , the man disappears from an empty city street in the middle of the night . the man regains consciousness in what looks like a shabby hotel room . a bed , a desk , a tv , a bathroom cubicle . there is a steel door with a slot near the floor for his food tray . occasionally a little tune plays , the room fills with gas , and when he regains consciousness the room has been cleaned , his clothes have been changed , and he has received a haircut .

if the room is the citizen kane of bad movies , that makes tommy wiseau the orson welles of crap . wiseau — who speaks with a thick , schwarzeneggerian accent — directed , wrote , and produced the film . the muscled auteur also plays the cuckolded johnny , and , when not exposing his ivory rump in the film’s sex scenes , gives a performance that’s both heartfelt and berserk . in one scene , a vein - poppingly distraught wiseau howls the line , ”you are tearing me apart , lisa ! ” the moment — a favorite of room fans — is reminiscent of both james dean’s ”you’re tearing me apart ! ” howl in rebel without a cause and marlon brando screaming ”stella ! ” in a streetcar named desire . at least it would be , if those actors had chosen to play their parts as deranged austrians .

poorly written , acted and executed , yet entertaining to an extent amidst all the disaster . the room , though sacred and notorious for one tommy wiseau , is so terrible it ' s great in its cult - like way . 1 / 5
the male characters were like the girlfriends of other films . they’re plot devices . they’re there to tell a certain part of the story mechanically . in the end , the film is all about women , ” refn says , pointing out that the guys disappear about halfway through the movie . “they were no longer needed in the film , so i took them out . ”
quite possibly the single nerdiest film ever made , and one that brings technical jargon to a new art form , it is also one of the most believable via its starkly straightforward presentation .
from being hit by a large truck which kills her friends . everyone is taken in for questioning and after hearing of the events of the first film they all storm off . soon after
the direction was about as average as average gets , resulting in a movie that looks like the epitome of what an independent movie looks like . if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all , and room offers not one ounce of originality or style .
primer is a 2004 independent film , written and directed by shane carruth . ( also produced by shane carruth , starring shane carruth , edited by shane carruth , shane carruth as director of photography and with a soundtrack composed by shane carruth . ) it was made on a minuscule budget of $ 7 , 000 , most of which went towards buying film stock . the film is a character - driven drama about two engineers who unexpectedly create a time machine , and an examination of how time travel ( and the power it confers ) affects them and their friendship .
the controversy - provoking film ended with a shocking , melodramatic plot twist to explain bud ' s complex personality and downer mood throughout the film . bud ' s intense guilt about abandoning her and his continuing crisis of masculine insecurity were informed by the appearance of the deceased daisy ( in his mind only ! ) - as bud had been masturbating alone to his memory of her .
enron : the smartest guys in the room tells the inside story of the spectacular rise and fall of one of the most scandal - ridden corporations in american history . based on the best - selling book of the same name , this film takes a look at the collapse of the once seventh - largest company in the united states , where executives misappropriated billions of dollars , leaving investors scrambling and ruining the life - savings of thousands of employees .
it isn ' t an easy film , but the world ' s already got plenty of easy and easily digestible films . nervy and confounding pictures , however , we could use more of .
the original title for the first film was flight 180 . had this title been kept , it wouldn ' t have made as much sense with the rest of the films in the series .
a mobster in therapy , having problems with his mother ,
was how the sopranos initially sparked , according to creator david chase , though he was thinking about the premise for a feature film .
second hand storytelling : half the reason the film is so mind screwy is because several key events are described rather than shown — and the characters doing the describing would rather be laconic than descriptive .
the remainder of the film demonstrated the repercussions of his intrusive changes that often brought unexpected side - effects or results . evan became a number of different alternate individuals with varying futures , for example :

outland was in the vanguard for its use of layered front - screen projection . plus , it has one of the first gruesome images in mainstream film of a man popping like a tomato in space .
the film was accused of having an overly - protracted and lengthy story until the final 10 - 15 minutes . recurring symbols included mirrors ( and mirror images of originals ) and a mystery doppelganger woman .
but she is looking for the right thing to spark her interest . asked if she has ever considered trying to tackle a big - budget studio franchise film , like a superhero movie , she paused .

she’s alone in a strange place and has a few adventures , and by “adventures” i mean she meets a loser in a bar , takes him back to her motel room for the night , then runs into an old friend from texas who has changed her name and is now a struggling actress in new york . while searching for this mysterious room , she stumbles into some kind of support group , then sneaks out again . at her friend’s insistence , she contacts a real estate agent in hopes she can help julia find this room , but , again , has no luck . then someone hands her an envelope on the street with a big red arrow on it . this is the key , she decides , and follows a series of chalk arrows around town until she gets to the place she is sure she’s been searching so desperately for .

in the season three opener ,
gay witch hunt
, michael holds a homosexual meeting in the conference room . the writers wrote for michael to hug oscar nuñez . but steve carell improvised when he kissed nuñez . the shock and horror on oscar ' s face is legitimate .
it . . . may be the longest 75 - minute film in the history of cinema - - there was a clock check 25 minutes in , after thinking ' this has got to be almost over . '
westworld offers up a mixture of early ‚äò70s pop psychology and a jaundiced view of unchecked technology . between this film and the stepford wives , it ' s surprising that the animatronics industry didn ' t go under .
this opening scene is also about setting the tone for the entire film . is this reality or is it something else ? refn wants the viewer to keep asking themselves this question while watching his film . the final act of the neon demon answers the question , and the answer might not be what everyone was expecting or wanting . that in mind , refn has said that he felt the whole movie was about that last scene :
there are some changes in the set between the first season and the subsequent ones . the exterior of the building is completely different in the first season than what ' s used afterward . also , the wall in between michael ' s office and the conference room ( the one , in which andy punches a hole ) is much thinner in the first season . also , in the first season there is a door to the left of the break room door . now there is just a door between creed ' s desk and oscar , kevin , and angela ' s island .
the room is a san francisco - set love triangle involving a banker named johnny , his friend mark , and johnny’s fiancée lisa , who is sleeping with both men . the film does seem to be beset with problems . various subplots are inadequately resolved or simply disappear altogether , including the throwaway revelation that lisa’s mother is suffering from cancer . the film’s many rooftop shots feature an unrealistic san francisco backdrop , thanks to some less - than - impressive greenscreen work . there are lengthy , unerotic sex scenes , the last of which prompts a section of the audience to depart the auditorium temporarily in mock protest . finally , in one sequence , a sharp bone seems about to erupt from lisa’s neck for no reason at all .
the film taps into every person ' s innate fears of space , and reminds us that the universe outside our planet is vast , empty , and hostile to humans . gravity stays with you long after watching it .
director jennifer chambers lynch ' s ( david lynch ' s daughter ) directorial debut film was an erotic and disturbing psychosexual work of incestuous obsession , using the armless venus de milo statue as a major symbol and metaphor .
after the reveal of the mountain lion in jesse’s room , keanu reeves’s character hank doesn’t jump to protect jesse . instead he blames her for leaving the patio door open . is the mountain lion a metaphor for how jesse had left the door open which had allowed monsters to come into her life ?
unbreakable ( 2000 ) . shyamalan ' s most unusual and most underrated film , a grave , dour superhero saga that eschews the usual spandex accoutrements . it also gets my vote for best ( and least anticipated ) ending .
the film opens on jesse ( elle fanning ) laying down in a blue dress covered in blood laying totally lifeless . or as refn has described it , “elle fanning lying on the couch , covered in blood . death and beauty . snow white just died . ” moments later we realize that jesse isn’t dead , the scene was created for a fashion photoshoot . its this imagery that inspired the rest of the film . refn told ew the following :
and the day of the triffids adds a second element of horror beyond killer vegetation : a meteor shower leaves a large part of the population blind . the film works best in detailing the breakdown of society following a widespread calamity .
women around the world may have been envious of her body , but simpson has never been comfortable showing it off , whether she is shooting a scene in a film or video clip or relaxing on a beach during a holiday .

the air of world - weary sadness that hung over the denizens of the 12th precinct made barney miller feel different from other sitcoms , quieter in personality and more offbeat cops in action via inaction , dragging themselves around the squad room like drones in an office otherwise made colorful by the perps coming in off the street .
. every aspect of his film falls so far short of the normal and the natural that wiseau aspires to replicate . although audiences ' laughter tends to be scornful and disparaging , not life - enhancing , the joke may be on us -
the fact is that wiseau has succeeded where so many big - screen hopefuls have failed . he has made his mark . true , it may not be quite the one he intended . but he has proved , without a doubt , that there is a place — that there is room — in hollywood for tommy wiseau .

the film was co - written by michael cimino , who would later make the deer hunter , and steven bochco , who ' d later make , among other things , hill street blues . the director , douglas trumbull , is one of the most respected special - effects wizards out there , getting his start with short films for the 1964 world ' s fair and still working on projects such as tree of life . i mention all this so you ' ll keep your mind off the dreadful joan baez song that nearly ruins the entire film .
the film ' s plot twist was revealed when their discussion came to a close . when he returned to the scene of the rape , an ambulance had already arrived at the scene , and he sadly kissed her corpse on a stretcher . the film ' s ending gave greater meaning to everything that came before , including the sex scene . it was revealed that daisy had in fact died as a result of the incident ( choking to death on her own vomit ) -
i was dead
- and was later taken away in the ambulance .
late - night showings of cult films such as the rocky horror picture show and the big lebowski are known for their rowdy and strange behavior too . but people who go to see rocky horror and lebowski think those films are good . tonight’s movie , an obscure , five - year - old drama called the room , holds a different place in the hearts of those present at west hollywood’s laemmle sunset 5 . ”it’s absolutely terrible , ” says chris bonk , a talent - agency assistant who has seen the film more than 15 times . ”the script is not the best . the acting is certainly not the best . the music is horrible . ”
everyone has an agenda . that ' s what it seems like to collin , a man used to being in charge who , after going on the run , wakes up to find himself in a stark white room with seemingly no power over his surroundings . as collin struggles to understand his current predicament he is vexed by three entirely different beings : the hulking cal , who attempts to physically intimidate him by battering him into submission ; the confusing claudia , who batters his mind by talking in circles always keeping the truth just out of reach ; and the alluring clover , who tries to charm him into her way of thinking . collin is forced to trust one of them . if he chooses wrong , he may never get out of the room .
his secrecy has been key to the film’s success . ( as wain puts it , ”part of the fun is guessing : who is this guy ? where is he from ? why did he shoot on a greenscreen instead of going up on a roof ? ” ) his ed wood - like innocence and enthusiasm for moviemaking has helped as well : rudd declined to talk about the room for this article because he didn’t want to ”mock somebody else’s stuff . ” and lo truglio later got back in touch , concerned that he had been too harsh about wiseau . ”it is a guilty pleasure in every sense of the word , ” he says of the movie .
my viewing has prompted a deep dive into interviews and analysis of the film , and i thought i’d share some of the insights into the neon demon ending , the symbology and metaphors both obvious and more hidden . i’ll also attempt to answer some of your the neon demon questions .
past the initial premise and some cool - for - its - day opening computer graphics , escape from new york is a film that ' s actually better in your memory than in reality—though nothing can take away from the chandeliers fixed to the hood of isaac hayes ' s car .
in the end , betrayal , greed , and violent murders were the results of their misguided scheme . harry was being followed throughout the entire film by a lawyer ' s agent hired by his wife sandy - she was secretly planning to divorce harry and was also having an affair .
in the film ' s most notorious , explicit and controversial scene of unsimulated fellatio at the finale , bud and daisy were in a starkly - white hotel room - both lonely and needy individuals who were attempting to connect and speak to each other . after kissing and fondling of her naked breasts , as he stood before her at the side of the bed , he undid his belt buckle , released his pant ' s fly , and she took his male member into her mouth to begin the infamous ' blow - job ' scene - as he held himself . as she pleasured him in her mouth , they still engaged in a conversation about their love for each other .
sunshine isn ' t just a dynamite science - fiction film ; it is a marvelous look at a group of desperate people coming together to face an impossible challenge . the score by john murphy and underworld is absolutely what i want to be playing when my body is liquefied by solar flares .
yes , midnight - movie maniacs love rollerball because it has james caan killing people with a spiked glove in a psychotic roller derby . but beyond the popcorn spectacle , the movie is actually a well - thought - out ( and wonderfully shot ) dystopian film with great performances and fantastic interior spaces .
this is not a political documentary . it is a crime story . no matter what your politics ,
enron : the smartest guys in the room
will make you mad . it tells the story of how enron rose to become the seventh largest corporation in america with what was essentially a ponzi scheme , and in its last days looted the retirement funds of its employees to buy a little more time .
the most shocking material in the film involves the fact that enron cynically and knowingly created the phony california energy crisis . there was never a shortage of power in california . using tape recordings of enron traders on the phone with california power plants , the film chillingly overhears them asking plant managers to
get a little creative
in shutting down plants for
repairs .
between 30 percent and 50 percent of california ' s energy industry was shut down by enron a great deal of the time , and up to 76 percent at one point , as the company drove the price of electricity higher by nine times .
early in the film , jesse meets three women : jena malone who plays make - up artist ruby , and her two model friends gigi ( bella heathcote ) and sarah ( abbey lee ) . each of the women represent a different aspect of beauty . refn explains as much in an interview with slant :
whedon ' s futuristic wild west of space pirates and psychic ing√©nues shows how an ostensibly benevolent government can transform into an evil empire . despite the will of the entire internet , there will never , ever be a sequel , even though orson scott card has called this the best science - fiction film ever .
in commercial travel ,
final destination
is a quasi - industry term that refers to a passenger ' s ultimate intended location . for the franchise , it ' s an obvious metaphor for death ; the ultimate fate or
destination
that everyone has . the title carries this double - meaning specifically concerning the events of the first film . however , it may vaguely apply to the next 3 films in the way that the subsequent events are all possibly byproducts of a ripple - effect created by the survivors of flight 180 . the 5th film of course is the big exception as it takes place prior to the crash .
tommy wiseau insists that he ”really doesn’t know” how the film fared at the box office on its initial release . however , one industry source states that the combined gross from the two - week run at two theaters — the laemmle fallbrook and fairfax — was just $ 1 , 900 . michael rousselet , a young screenwriter who seems to be patient zero of the film’s cult , says he first caught the movie at an ”absolutely empty” theater . ”it was like our own private mystery science theater , ” he says . ”i was calling friends during the end and saying , ‘you have to come to this movie . ’ we saw it four times in three days , and on the last day i had over 100 people there . ” soon , screenings of the room were thick with both laughter and cutlery . ”the spoon thing probably started during the fourth screening with my friends , ” says rousselet . ”i was like , why is there a spoon in the picture frame ? every time it came up , i’d scream ‘spoon ! ’ so we brought spoons . ”


squadra antitruffa is a 1977 italian crime film directed by bruno corbucci and starring david hemmings , tomas milian and anna cardini .

it is the third chapter in the nico giraldi film series starred by tomas milian .

squadra antitruffa

another flawed but entertaining mix of screwball comedy and cop film featuring another ( after the one in the previous
squadra antifurto
) trip in usa . i counted four ( 4 ) chases , all very well executed . the character played by bombolo (
venticello
) starts to have substantial screen time and the farce starts to take over the
crime
elements . . .

the funny misadventures of a simpleton just out of jail , looking for a job until the very surreal ending .
a tough , violent cop who doesn ' t mind bending the law goes after a machine - gun - carrying , hunchbacked psychotic killer .
in italy this is considered a b - movie . anyway it is a sort of thriller , very rich in strange and funny characters , sometimes a little exaggerated . dialogues are often based on roman dialect which could be difficult to understand ( sometimes it is even for italians ) . among conversations , there ' s a lot of gags , especially between two main characters , nico giraldi and venticello , representing people coming from the same poor , post - war background . one of them is a policeman ( nico ) , the other one ( venticello ) is a definitely unlucky , ignorant , little thief . once were friends . in a way , they still are . the main soundtrack theme is obsessive and distressing , creating a suspense that ' s difficult to imagine . i saw this movie several times , but from time to time i like to watch it again , just for fun . a movie rich of rude dialogs and scenes that make you laugh even before any of the characters has the chance to speak . it could be considered a b - movie but i think that soon it will be re - evaluated .

this is by no means a great film but it is well worth having if you are a fan of the late david hemmings . however , be warned , you will not hear his distinctive voice . i don ' t know if a version exists that contains his . english dialogue ? there is an english audio on my disc but i am 99 % sure hemmings is not on it . that aside , the film has action , comedy and a leading man , tomas milian , who plays an undercover cop who breaks all the rules but gets results . . not an essential purchase ( unless you ' re a completest ) . and can pick it up at a reasonable price ,

tomas milian teams up with david hemmings entering the world of con men in order to catch some bad guys . . . the third installment of milians nico giraldi franchise is already pure comedy neglecting a plot in favor of humorous episodes . it works very well as a poliziottesco parody opening with the usual montage of ridiculous
scippos
including some gas pills sale . there is also a very very very strong commentary on product placement here ( the highlight being some booze adverts in the police station ) which is easily the most enjoyable element . milian is great as always being as foul mouthed as it gets and giving us his usual dance routine in a gay bar . unfortunately the supporting cast is pretty…

when you use shuffle from your plex app and it randomly serves you a tomas milian movie , it can be deemed coincidence . however , when you then blindly reach into a mill creek 100 cheesy movies boxset and the title you arbitrarily select also stars milian , that is a signal from a higher power . the movie gods were with me , because this was way cooler than serpico . side of ham and sleaze added by jack palance . 6 . 8 / 10
low - key , comical eurocrime entry that lacks the usual violence and sleaziness . it plods along aimlessly but tomas milian is fun to watch as he rips around the city on his motorbike , destroying fruit stands and bedding women . he only takes off his toque for a scene in a disco where he breaks loose on the dance floor . in his apartment he has a big serpico poster and looks smellier than the thugs he busts throughout the movie . the motorbike action gets ridiculous as milian chases some criminals into an apartment building and drives up all the flights of stairs in pursuit . i liked it better this time around but mostly because it ' s so cheesy . and not just the smell .
it ' s been too long since i ' ve seen a poliziotteschi movie ; i decided to watch this one and that was a good choice . i ' ve enjoyed all the films i ' ve watched in the genre , this one included .
sure , the plot ' s simplistic ( some thieves steal the briefcase of jack palance . . . turns out he ' s a corrupt diplomat and it ' s dirty money and his thugs go after the thieves , and the cops try to stop everyone ) but boy is this hilarious . palance isn ' t in it as much as you ' d expect ; that ' s ok , though .
watched a jack palance eurocrime double feature dvd , with this and mr . scarface . as a fan of eurocrime this set did not disappoint . both are worth a watch .
fast - paced and fun . i stopped paying attention to much of the plot mechanics pretty early on and just enjoyed spending time with tomas milian and serpico the mouse . everyone ' s clearly having a lark . milian even wears a hat with
tomas milian , i love you !

scummy looking italian cop fights a purse snatching gang , and jack palance gets mixed up in the whole deal . has some sweet motorcycle stunts , a goofy musical score , little else .
