I had purchased it on VHS & DVD 10-20 years ago, but never got to see the full flick until two days ago, on cable... However, not to MY loss...
Let's see the plot: good/bad/lazy/corrupt cops + a very corrupt local administration... How is that going to "shake" or inspire the 2022 local/national administrations ???... Is it by promoting films of real good/bad cop stories & propaganda ?...
To sum it up: This is an awfully pathetic 'deja-vu'... E.g. Several Endeavour episodes got 'inspired' by this flick's ending plot... There's nothing new about corrupt police & administrations. They never serve the State or its citizens; just the ruling elites... Nation/local wide... no difference.
Probably, one of the most underrated movies in history... One of my all-time favourites, including its 'younger' bro. I accidentally ran over a re-run on cable TV, this evening, and it has simply blown out my mind & my emotions with its beautiful music (you may disregard the script...) and those incredible musicians & artists brought together. I simply cannot imagine a similar event today... It also reminded me of what the US used to be and meant to us, i.e. to the rest of this Planet, 20+ to 30 years ago. No longer today, I'm so sorry... and so angry...
I would firstly recommend it to those of you, irrespective of age, who've already seen it, possibly 10-20+ years ago. You will certainly discover new notes, new facets of life, new meanings to whatever this movie tells you. And a whole lot of exquisite music & huge musicians you and your children should never forget... Please remember that aging is not the issue.
Secondly. I would recommend it to all those who. in these times of pandemics, feel lost and let down in their spiritual beliefs. It does have a positive effect !
Thirdly... R.I.P. all those incredibly beautiful and Heavenly gifted artists, musicians who are no longer with us today. Aretha, James B etc... Plus tens others, so gifted !. Those of you who loved this movie, YOU KNEW THEM AND LOVED THEIR ART... They did give a true meaning to our lives.
4thly, the car stunts in these two movies are absolutely incredible... So sorry to tell U this, Hollywood & Disney, but your 'magical' computer wand effects will never match the car stunts of this movie... Because WE KNOW that these were real, while yours are... just computer-made illusion.
I love Gordon, Gino & Fred's all delightfully entertaining TV Series so far. And their upside-down hilarious chemistry, which makes every one of their shows so tasteful. Now, imagine a culinary battle between these 3 Amigos and some other 3 or more top-rated Asian chefs representing (in absolutely no particular order) a mix of the Chinese, Coreean, Indian, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and other South-East Asian exquisite cuisines... I imagine it would be rather expensive and not that easy to produce... However... it would probably become the top culinary/travel TV show for several decades on...
