Whole cast of Rocky.
Yeah sure boxing champion will surely pick some name of average boxer and whold federation will give.him green light to fight for title.
Talia Shire only got popular because her brother directed "The Godfather" and put his sister in a pretty big role, and when a movie becomes a hit, they'll employ her for her cache, and probably BECAUSE of her brother. He employed his dad, and later his nephew who couldn't act for shit.
Burt Young usually played the same role, but I thought he was good. I thought Stallone was real good in "Rocky" but haven't liked him in any other movie. The first 20 minutes of Rambo is pretty good, though.
AND make a movie about the making of the movie
shareWith The Room you have taken one of the best examples you scoundrel😉
Here then is a trifecta...
Tom Laughlin 'starred' in the Billy Jack series during the 70s...He was a 'Nam hero, martial arts expert and nature-hippy warrior' guy...He was also supposed to be a Native American but he looked way whiter than both of my Irish granpas combined...whatever, I was willing to go along with it
The films got progressively worse...
Billy Jack (71) was good drive-in fare
The Trial of Billy Jack (74) was awful
Billy Jack Goes to Washington (77) was a roundhouse kick to all common sense...preachy, silly and I'd wager the cocaine budget far exceeded the cost of production
Each is an example of brilliant, stupid bullshit
I'm possibly forgetting one more Billy Jack film but that's because Baby Jesus loves me
I was just thinking of Billy Jack a few days ago when I was trying to think of fairly obscure movies from my childhood. I think I saw the second one at the theater when I was a little kid.
shareYeah, they were of varying quality
I'm not even sure if the guy really knew martial arts at all
Fun, goofy movies overall
Good 'laundry day' films when you can be in and out and not miss much
In the mid-1970s I heard Tom Laughlin give a talk. I forget what festival or speaking series it was, I just had a summer job cleaning up the place. He was rambling and incredibly boring.
