Random observations on 'The New Kids'


*******SPOILER ALERT*******








Loved the movie! Coulda done without the A-Team music, and MacGuyvering of the bumper cars. Also, they shoulda called "Gid" "Package", 'cause in the scene where he's beating up Loren near the end, you can clearly see that he is packing some serious "heat" in his jeans. Jeepers! And when Dutry's flaming body hits the ground, you can clearly see that it isn't James Spader.... unless you are willing to accept the film's internal logic that being set on fire makes you spontaneously gain 50 ponds. Still, wotta ride!

Well, I doubt James Spader would've been willing to let them set him on fire. But, I see your point, they should have tried to make it look more realistic. I'm sure the budget for this film was pretty low. I never noticed Gid's package before, hmmmmm......

IT BELONGED TO JOHN C. HOLMES.
