She often wondered if Bruce had stayed in the US if he would have still lived longer? Yeah, all those theories were told about, but I don't think anyone knew for sure? Bruce was a huge talent in so many ways and it was too tragic for him to die so soon. Same thing with his son Brandon. We were fans of his too. Bruce's daughter Shannon still keeps his memory alive as well as his martial arts style. Yeah, it seems some shady things would sometimes go down when he went back to Hong Kong. Could've been a possible Chinese mafia connection to some if it, but that's just conjecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three were in the movie. Yeah, she told me that Steve wanted top billing too. Crazy. I've seen the movie on cable and I think it still holds up. Very explicit fire scenes. Scary. and OJ Simpson is in it too. He saved the little cat. lol Boy did things change for him. The sequel came out on Valentine's day last week. It looked good. Same people in it as the first one. The only problem I had is when they would show a commercial for it they would play the 50 cent song, but it was never played in the original movie. Now in the sequel preview it's played all the way through. I was going to complain if it wasn't played by 50 in this sequel. lol Love that song. Oh yeah, lol, I forgot the Juice was in it. That movie was a who's who of stars really. I'm a fan of Robert Wagner also, I used to watch Hart to Hart with him and Stephanie Powers. But I can't think about him without also thinking about the Natalie Wood situation, but I digress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I hear you. My mom too. She hopes that Robert didn't have a hand in Natalie's death. She loved her too. Robert just turned 89 and is now married to Jill St. John. My mom said it was shocking when she learned of Natalie's death of drowning because she knew she was so afraid of water and drowning. She did a movie when she was a child where she almost died by drowning, so she hated it. She also broke her wrist during that scene. Her mom was an original Hollywood mom. Even when Natalie was raped and abused by a big time producer, her mom told her to keep quiet and keep working. How fucked up is that? but it was the 1950's in Hollywood and since it took decades for women to have their voices heard it just is so sad all the more. Anyway, yeah, the 70's was the decade of all those big budget and tons of A list actors in those tragic movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just so unexpected it and sad. Bruce Lee was already dead when Enter the Dragon came out. don't get me started on what they did to Game of Death. The fight scenes with the real Bruce were unreal, but the whole movie is just too sad for me and my mom to watch. Well, in the case of Janis and Jim and Jimi, since they were either taking drugs or drinking their deaths were a surprise, but not unexpected. I'm surprised more musicians aren't dead. Guess it's the luck of the draw. Who knows where they would have been? I think Jimi would have continued to play music and possibly Janis, but Jim I think would have just went his own way and just quit music all together. Maybe write more poems or books. 8 hours ago, Len Cnut said: 'billed as the next James Dean', yeah, he looks it Fox from The Warriors. yeah, cute for the time, but no where near the talent of James Dean. He did the Warriors and then The Thing, but anything else. James Remar who played Ajax has had the longest career or all those guys. He's currently playing in Black Lightening and still looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the night on that boat with Wagner, Wood, and Christopher Walken is shrouded in mystery. Probably will never know what really happened.

Yup, that last scene is classic. Pacino is representing John Forsythe's character, who is a judge on trial for rape, and totally turns the tables on him.

OmarBradley Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 On 2/11/2019 at 8:57 AM, DieselDaisy said: Fury is actually a reasonably good war film and fairly historically accurate. They used a bona fide German Tiger I, the only surviving operational one in the world which they borrowed from The Tank Museum in Bovington. It was captured by the 48th Royal Tank Regiment in Tunisia in 1943 and shipped to England. It is the first time a genuine Tiger I has been used in a movie since 1950. Here she is today, in her museum, Compare this to Saving Private Ryan which used some Czech Cold War era tank dressed up as a Tiger. In most war films the tanks are dodgy as hell (one exception is Cross of Iron). I haven't seen it, but my issue is Brad Pitt is far too old to believably be a Staff Sergeant. I suppose it was technically possible, maybe? I don't know what protocol was like at this time, but if it's anything like it is today, his character should have been half his age to be decently accurate.

It was, I've always been a Jack Lemmon fan. I thought it was funny that Hanoi Jane was in a movie called The China Syndrome. That wasn't a particularly nice moniker to be tagged with.

DieselDaisy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Die Brücke (1959) Masterpiece of course. Watched it a number of times. I just realized that Spielberg ripped it off for some of the combat scenes in Ryan, the sound of the tanks and general duration and nervousness on hearing the tank before it arrives for instance.
