- GaffesCarnival manager says that after their current five day stay at the fair, they're headed to "AR-kan-saw City" (phonetic spelling) like the state, Arkansas. However, as any Kansan can tell you, it's pronounced "ar-KAN-sas City". Don't know why, but it is.

Doyle Kennedy: I didn't do that bank alone. I had help. Wade Corey? The hero all you suckers have been goin' on about? He did that bank. He was my partner. Turns out he's more horseshit than hero. How do you like that for a little con?...
Nelson Nordquist: Where's the proof, Doyle? You expect me to print that?
Doyle Kennedy: Well, you go ahead and print what you like. I don't buy that shit. Newspapers and the truth... you make it up the same as the rest of us.
But this movie doesn't make sense in a lot of ways.
This is another one of those Hollywood productions that comes along every now and then, even then, that tries to show us how Americans not on a coast, live, work and think.
And it usually doesn't work.
And it certainly doesn't seem authentic or real.
This is also, yet again, another movie that proves the actors, no matter how great they are, are only as good as the material they are provided with.. Is Andrew McCarthy supposed to be salt of the earth or a scoundrel, or is he the Great Gatsby?
For most of this movie we can never tell and it's confusing and unconvincing in all directions.
Matt Dillon can play mean but here it just doesn't seem right.
The ladies all look way to dry, clean and made up with their hair down to be riding on horseback out in the backwoods somewhere.
It's funny because it seems the Brat Pack, at least some members of it were all taking grittier-sounding scripts and parts in this era to maybe distance themselves from that image.
You had Emilio Estevez and Demi Moore in Wisdom (1986).
You also had Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy in Blue City (1986).
And then you have this. Though I don't consider Matt Dillon part of that group.
The actions of these characters just doesn't seem believable. Then or now.
Certainly there is much behavior in 80's films that seems creepy or even stalker-ish.
Then it was portrayed as romantically persistent.
There are often tiny actions taken here by characters here that is simply unsafe in any era.
Turning your back on a stranger.
Being alone with a stranger. Even provocative.
No.
Doesn't make sense when you try to dose it in reality and not just an actress with a leading man.
And the editing leads much to be desired.
A character is drinking with somebody at a bar. Next scene, he's under a bridge with that person stripped down to the skivvies.
Wait.
What?
What happened?
What's going on here?
We're not in Kansas anymore.
Or are we?
This was a total waste of Dillon and McCarthy in their prime.
McCarthy, coincidentally enough, has a documentary coming out soon about the Brat Pack called, Brats (2024).
