After watching the Brats documentary I thought I would watch the two big 80s films I initially passed over:
- St Elmos Fire -> worse than I was expecting and I was expecting it to be garbage.
- Weird Science -> OK take on Frankenstein films. Very dated.
The Magnificent Seven OG sequels:
- Return of the Seven -> terrible, only Yul Brynner returns, Lazy writing. Steve McQueen character recast.
- Guns of the Magnificent Seven -> much better, could have been a standalone. Lead role recast as George Kennedy replaces Yul. No explanation given for return of the hair!
- The Magnificent Seven Ride! -> decent watch. Lead recast again with Lee Van Cleef as the Yul/George replacement. Young Gary Busey gets gunned down.
The Limey - on Amazon Prime. Have wanted to rewatch the Steve Soderbergh/Terence Stamp revenge classic for a long time. It didn't disappoint second time around.
