Uma Thurman's First Movie...

I remember seeing this in the theaters when I was a teenager. I never could remember who played Johnny's girlfriend, I always just remembered she was smokin hot.

Then I saw the DVD in a $5 bin, and snatched it up. Imagine my pleasant surprise to see the girlfriend was Uma Thurman. And in her first major role!!

She looks so young. And dear god she was so pretty back then. She's aged well, but damn. She was fine as a young adult.

well if your born is 1972 like your name suggests then that puts you about 7 years older than me so i cant claim what you can... but anyways, i just seen this movie for the first time a few moments ago and it was 'ok-ish' (i gave it a 6/10 but if i had to choose a 5 or 7 i would say 5) BUT... it was cool seeing Uma Thurman 'back in the day' when she was about 18 years old in this movie.

but honestly... i think she's more attractive in the 'Kill Bill' movies (which are GREAT movies by the way) than she is in this 1988 film.

Yes she was hot when she was younger and still is an attractive woman today!

She is very gorgeous in this and she still is. She's one of my favorite actresses

I never had a crush on her until I saw how AMAZING she was in this movie. It's the best I've ever seen her look.
