This is one of my absolute favorite movies. Such a wild plot and cast of characters but it all works really well
It is so awesome Carpenter thought about making a movie whose protagonist is the sidekick. It’s an absolutely obvious role reversal and yet (as far as I know, and I admit I know little) it hadn’t been done before and hasn’t been done again (please correct me if I’m wrong)
wearing lipstick Ahh you know what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like this?
“Who?”
Jack Burton! Me!
Hollow?
Hollow.
Fuck it…
