-Science Created Him. Now CHUCK NORRIS Must Destroy Him.- It’s “SILENT RAGE” (1982) My Peeps!!!

Alright, My Peeps…

…In This Wild Little Flick…

CHUCK NORRIS

…Is A Tough-As-Nails Sheriff Of A Small Town In Good Ole Texas…

…And Now He’s Facing-Off Against A Mentally Deranged Psycho Killer Whom Is, As Far As We All Know, Totally INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!

No Shit, Sheriffs!

CHUCK NORRIS

…In A “B-Movie” ACTION/HORROR/SLASHER/SCI-FI/THRILLER!!!

I KNOW, RIGHT!!!

WOOT!!!

I Promise, I Couldn’t Make This Up If I Tried!

Well…

…Ok…

…I Could…

…But I’m So SO NOT!!!

😀     😀     😀

Our Killer Is “JOHN KIRBY”…

(Played With A Brute Viciousness By Mr. BRIAN LIBBY)

…A Man Who Was Recently SHOT-TO-PIECES By The Police After He Took An AX TO HIS FAM!

He Died On The Operating Table…

…Under The Careful Care Of Three Doctors/Surgeons/Geneticists…

(Played By RON SILVER, STEVEN KEATS, And WILLIAM FINLEY)

…Who Are Now Using “KIRBY” As Their Ginni-Pig For A Genetic Super-Healing Serum.

Guess What?!

IT WORKS!!

Only, Not In How They’d Planned.

“KIRBY” Has A Totally Static-Brian, And A Body That Can Perpetually Heal Heal HEAL!!!

Do You See Where This Is Going, Kiddies?!?!?

SURE YOU DO!!!

“KIRBY” Flies The Coop And Sets Out On A Murderous Rampage…

…And…

…Of Course…

…It’s Up To…

CHUCK NORRIS

…To Stop Him!!!

It’s A KILL Or BE KILLED Type Of Situation, Fo SHO!!!

😀     😀     😀

Trust Me, My Peeps…

…You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Seen…

CHUCK NORRIS

…In…

“SILENT RAGE“

…And That Gets A BIG…

…FO SHO!!!

😀

“SILENT RAGE“

…Is Easily One Of the Most Fun, Most Awesome, And Most Underrated Flicks In The Realm That Is…

CHUCK NORRIS

!!! !!! !!!

And, I Mean, Come On, At Least With This Flick You Know EXACTLY WHY The Killer Just WON’T DIE!!!

That’s Gotta Count For Something, Right???

RIGHT!!!

😉

“THE BEST” -Vs- “MY FAVORITE”: Episode II: “It’s All In The Reflexes.”

Howdy, Kids.

What’s Shakin’?

Yeah…

…Not Much Here, Either.

T’Is Another Of Those Mornings Where I’m Awake Way Too Damned Early.

It’s My Fault, Though.

Went To Bed Too Damned Early.

What’Ya’Gonna’Do, Ya Know?!

Exactly My Point!!

Anyway…

…I Digress.

Let’s Get To The Meat Of This Thing, Shall We?!

LETS!!

🙂

In This Episode…

…I Wish To Cover A Couple Modern-Day Directors.

I’ll Begin With A Personal Favorite Of Mine…

…And Someone I Know Some Of You Really Enjoy…

JOHN CARPENTER

🙂

So…

…What’s JOHN CARPENTER‘s BEST Work?!

Well…

…There Are Two Schools Of Thought On This One.

Some Believe His BEST Work To Be…

“HALLOWEEN“

(1978)

…And It Is Hard To Scoff At That One.

I LOVE The Original…

“HALLOWEEN“

…Very VERY Much So.

The Other School…

…However…

…Would Say…

“THE THING“

(1982)

…Is…

“THE BEST“

…Of His Work.

That One Is Even Harder To Scoff At…

…At Least For ME…

…Because I’m Of That School.

I Think…

“THE THING“

…Is His BEST Work.

.Period.

BUT…

…Are Either Of Those Films…

“MY FAVORITE“

??? ???

No.

I Love Them Both Dearly…

…And Have Owned Copies Of Both (in one format or another) For The Past Two-Decades.

So What Is…

“MY FAVORITE“

???????

That Would Be…

“BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA“

(1986)

😀

Yes…

…I’m VERY Well Aware…

“BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA“

…Is An Inferior Film To Both…

“HALLOWEEN“

…And…

“THE THING“

…So You Don’t Have To Remind Me Of That Fact.

I’m With You, My Peeps.

I Am.

BUT…

“BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA“

…Is The Flick Attached To The Most Memories.

It’s The Film I Never Could Get Enough Of.

It’s The Film I Sit-Down To Watch With My Nephew When We Both Need A Bit Of Escapist Adventure.

It’s The Film I Had To Place A Special Order For While In The Navy Because It Sold-Out At The Video Store The First Day It Was Released.

No Foolies, My Peeps.

“HALLOWEEN“

???

LOVE IT!

🙂

“THE THING“

???

LOVE IT LOVE IT!

🙂

“BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA“

???

LOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH IT’S CRAZY!!!

😀

The Second Director I Wish To Cover Is Another Modern Fan Favorite…

WES CRAVEN

🙂

So What’s WES CRAVEN‘s BEST Work?

???

Well…

…Again…

…There Are Two Schools Of Thought At Play, Here.

Some Say It’s His Original Directorial Work…

“THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT“

(1972)

…And I Can Understand And AGREE With That Line Of Thought.

It IS A Truly Powerful Work, To Say The Least.

It’s Gritty.

It’s Nasty.

It’s So Damned Realistic You Feel Like You’re Watching A Snuff-Film.

It Would Get My Vote As His BEST.

The Other School Would Easily Say…

“A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET“

(1984)

…Is…

“THE BEST“

…Which Is Also Hard Not To Agree With.

“A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET“

…Is An Iconic Piece Of Work…

…Just Like JOHN CARPENTER‘s…

“HALLOWEEN“

…Both Of Which Have Spawned What Seems Like An Endless Stream Of Sequels.

.Period.

BUT BUT BUT…

…Are Either…

“THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT“

…Or…

“A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET“

“MY FAVORITE“

…Of His Works?

??? ??? ???

Nope.

That Honor Goes To…

…

…

…

“SWAMP THING“

(1982)

😀

Now Don’t Get To Laughing At Me So Soon!

I Do Admit…

…It’s An Odd Choice.

It’s Drastically Inferior To Both Of The Preceding Flicks…

…Sure Sure Sure…

…But Does That Change My Feeling???

NOT. IN. THE. SLIGHTEST.

.PERIOD.

“SWAMP THING“

…Has Been My Personal Favorite Since The Beginning.

It’s Another I’ve Owned (in one format or another) Since It’s Initial Release On VHS.

I Would Venture To Guess I’ve Seen…

“SWAMP THING“

…Perhaps…

…Oh…

…412 Times?!

Perhaps Even…

…Oh…

….4,012 Times?!

I Don’t Really Know.

I Just Know It’s A LOT A LOT A LOT!!!

“SWAMP THING“

…Was A Childhood Hero Of Mine…

…And He Remains So To This Very Day.

Next Time My Nephew Is Here With Me, I Plan To Bust-Out The…

“SWAMP THING“

…And Have Him Check-It-Out.

I Think It’s A Flick He’d Truly Get A Major Kick Out Of.

FO SHO, My Peeps!!!

😀

Was That FUN For Y’all?!

I SURE HOPE SO!!!

It Was Fun For Me, Anyway!!!

😉

Please Try To Enjoy The Day, Kiddies.

Y’all Hang-In-There.

Take Care.

Be Good.

See Me Soon.

And Talk To Me Sooner.

L8r, Taters!!!

😀

What’s On Now?! CLINT EASTWOOD’s “FIREFOX” (1982)

One Of My Favorite Flicks Of The 1980s…

“FIREFOX“

…Was Released In 1982…

…And…

…Is One Of The Most Fun “Cold War” Flicks Ever Made.

.Period.

“FIREFOX“

…Was Produced By…

…Directed By…

…AND…

…Stars…

CLINT EASTWOOD

!!! !!!! !!!

CLINT Plays “Mitchell Gant”…

…A Retired Military Pilot…

…Who Is Being Brought Back Into Service For A Special Mission.

What’s The Mission, You Ask?!

To Steal The Soviet Russian’s Latest War-Machine…

…The MIG 31…

…Code-Name…

“FIREFOX“

😀

It’s The Fastest…

…Most Deadly Fighter-Aircraft Ever Built…

…And The Ole U.S. Of. A. Wants It BADLY!

!!! !!!! !!!

So…

…CLINT Is Going Undercover…

…And Is Going To Try To Snatch-Up The “FIREFOX” Or Die Trying!!!

Will He Succeed?!?

Hmm.

Well…

…I Suppose I COULD Tell Y’all…

…I Really COULD…

…But…

…I Ain’t Gonna Spoil The Fun!!!

“FIREFOX“

…Is A Very Worthy “Cold War” Adventure…

…With Pretty Awesome Special Effects (for their day) By “STAR WARS” Special Effects Oscar Winner…

JOHN DYKSTRA

!!! !!!! !!!

If You’ve Seen This Flick…

…That’s Cool Beans.

However…

…I Know The Bulk Of Y’all Haven’t.

It’s One Of CLINT‘s More Forgotten Action Yarns…

…But That Doesn’t Mean It Deserves Any Less Of Your Sweet Sweet Lovin’!!!

Ya Know Ya Know, My Peeps?!

SURE YOU DO!!!

😉

😀

Random Movie Mention: “THE SWORD And THE SORCERER” (1982)

Sooo…

…My Peeps…

…Have You Ever Seen A Sword With Three Blades?

How About A Sword That SHOOTS-OFF Two Of Its Three Blades At You?

Yes?

No?

Maybe So?

Well…

…If You’ve NOT Seen Such A Sword…

…Then You’ve NOT Seen…

“THE SWORD And THE SORCERER“

…Which Graced Movie Theaters All Around The World Back In 1982.

.PERIOD.

😀

As The Tagline States:

("A KINGDOM RULED BY EVIL. A PRINCESS ENSLAVED BY PASSION. A WARRIOR DRIVEN BY JUSTICE.")

Yes Yes, My Peeps…

“TALON“

“KING CROMWELL“

…Played To Hardcore Evil Perfection By…

RICHARD LYNCH

…Has The “Last (known) Legitimate Heir To The Throne” Locked Away In His Dungeon.

“TALON“

…Is Then Hired By The Sister Of Said “Legitimate Heir” To Rescue Her Brother Before The Evil King Kills Him Off.

Then, The Princess Gets Captured Also.

SO…

“TALON“

…Must Risk His Life In Attempting To Save EVERYONE From The Clutches Of Said Evil King!!!

What Happens The Rest Of The Way Through Is The Meat & Potatoes Of…

“THE SWORD And THE SORCERER“

…With WONDERFUL Action…

…WONDERFUL Adventure…

…WONDERFUL Sword Fights…

…WONDERFUL Characters From All Walks Of Life…

…And On And On And On!!!

Trust Me, My Peeps…

It’s A Flick I’ve Been Watching ALL MY LIFE…

…And It Ranks In MY TOP 10 FAVORITE FLICKS Of ALL-TIME!!!

So…

…If You’re Looking For FUN And ENTERTAINMENT In Your Flicks…

…I Can EASILY And HIGHLY Recommend…

“THE SWORD And THE SORCERER“

…To Y’all.

It’s Very VERY HARD To NOT Enjoy The Hell Out Of This Flick.

Can ANY Of Y’ALL Hear THIS SONG And NOT Think About…

…The…

“MAD MAX“

…Movies???

?????

Sheesh.

I Sure As Hell Can’t.

I Hear The Song…

…I Get All Warm-Inside…

…Thinking About Just How Cool These Movies Are.

I Can Watch The First One…

“MAD MAX“

(1980)

…And Set-The-Stage For Myself, So To Speak.

Then…

…I Move Right On Into…

“THE ROAD WARRIOR“

(aka "MAD MAX 2")

(1982)

(Side Note: "THE ROAD WARRIOR" Was THE VERY 1ST "R" Rated Film Young Bradley Would EVER See. And It's Been A Personal Fave SINCE, I Reckon!)

 …And THEN…

…I Top It All Off With…

MS. TINA TURNER

…As…

“AUNTY ENTITY“

…Along With…

MR. MEL GIBSON

…As…

“MAD MAX ROCKATANSKY“

…In…

“MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME“

This Is A Trio Of Motion Pictures That…

…In All Honesty…

…Are ALWAYS A Helluva Ride…

…And A Regular Pant-Load Of FUN…

…And…

…EXCITEMENT!

If You Want Some NO-HOLDS-BARRED ACTION…

…And THRILLING CAR CHASES…

…And NEATO BATTLES With The DREGS Of The WASTELANDS…

…Then The…

“MAD MAX TRILOGY“

…Could Be THE TRILOGY For YOU!!!

Trust Me, My Peeps.

I Wouldn’t Dare Lead Y’all Astray.

Well…

…Not TOOO Far Astray…

…Anyway.

The Soundtrack To…

“MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME“

…Is Honestly Pretty-Darn-Decent.

BUT…

…YES YES YES, My Peeps…

…Brings The House Down With Her Little Number…

"YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMIN'" Off The JUDAS PRIEST Album "SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE" From 1982! A True CLASSIC, And An ALL-TIME FAVE-Of-FAVES Fo FLIPPIN' SHO! It Was Actually The Very First "Metal" Song Of MY LIFE. And It Has Been An ALL-TIME FAVE-Of-FAVES Since The Very Beginning. When Someone Says... "You Have 3 Seconds To Name A "Metal" Song, And GO!" This Is The Song Title I Spit-Out. There Are Many MANY Great "Metal" Songs Out In The World... But This One Goes Back The Furthest For Me. So It's Generally My "Go To "Metal"" 😉

“PRESSURE”

By

BILLY JOEL

Is Something I Remember From The Beginning Of MY MEMORY.

It Came Out In 1982.

My VERY-FIRST MEMORIES Begin Then.

We Had A Tornado Come Through My Hometown That Summer.

But…

…I Don’t Honestly Remember The Tornado.

That Was In May, 1982.

My Memories Begin In September, 1982.

It’s A Smell.

No Joke, My Peeps.

It’s The Smell Of Wood.

FRESH WOOD.

My Conscious Mind STARTS In September, 1982.

And It’s The Smell Of The FRESH WOOD…

…Being Used To BUILD Our NEW HOME.

The First Home Was A TOTAL Loss.

We Got Lucky.

We Got DAMN Lucky, Actually.

And I Don’t Remember A Moment Of It.

But…

…I Can Remember That Smell From September.

Anytime I’m NEAR Some FRESH WOOD…

…That Smell Hits Me.

I Catch-It So So So Fast After I’m Around It.

But…

…EVERY-SINGLE-TIME I Smell The Stuff…

…I’m FORCED To DEEPLY Inhale.

To Me…

…That Smell…

…Is…

…THE…

…MOST AMAZING SMELL EVER EVER EVER.

I’m TOTALLY NOT–JOKIN‘, My Peeps.

I’ve Never Been Affected By ANYTHING…

…At ANYTIME…

…ANYWHERE…

…Like THAT Smell.

NOW…

…Back To My Point Of This Bloggin’ing.

My Mother Had Billy Joel In The Car.

And I Remember Singing It With Her.

And I Always Told Her How Great Her Voice Was When She’d Sing With Him.

That…

…And THE VIDEO For “PRESSURE”…

…Is THE FIRST VIDEO I REMEMBER…

…EVER EVER EVER.

Yep.

That Video.

And I Remember Saying To Myself…

“Sheesh. That Rug ATE THAT GUY!”

And My Parents Would Say…

“YEP. So Watch Out For The Rugs.”

And It Became A GAME To US.

I’d Be On The Couch Somewhere…

…And They’d Have A RUG Under It…

…Or…

…There Was A RUG Under The Coffee Table IN-FRONT-OF The Couch…

…And I’d Say…

“I Can’t Get Up, That RUG MIGHT GET ME!”

…And They’d Say…

“YEP. What’Ya’Gonna’Do?”

…To Which My Reply Was…

“I’ll Have To JUMP IT!”

…Or…

“I Don’t Know If I Can Reach The Other-Side!?”

And I’d Try To Exit The Couch…

…WITHOUT Touching The RUG.

All Because Of THAT VIDEO.

So YES…

“PRESSURE”

By

BILLY JOEL

…Has A Special Place In My Heart…

…In My Mind…

…And My “MIND?!“.

Oh…

…And I ROCK At PRESSURE.

It’s The Every-Single-Day Stuff I Struggle With.

When Someone Says…

“WHO DID THIS THING RIGHT HERE?!?!”

…I’d Say…

“NOT ME!”

…Even Though…

…I Either KNEW I Did It…

…Or…

…I WASN’T SURE IF I’d Done It.

It’s ALWAYS The EASY STUFF, Too.

Sheesh, I Tell You.

Sheesh, INDEED.

😉

Oh… …And… …Uh… …Here’s Another Photo Of Billy Joel.

😉 😉

😉 😀 😉
