ill agree big time as well. even though im a cine-snob ive always enjoyed watching the film ...... even if for nothing else Rae-Dawn Chong in cut-off denim shorts changing a wheel is a memorable scene. if i ever find myself in the same room as Kevin ill have to ask "what happened to that cool moustache, bro???". im serious !!!
great film depending on the time and place ... what if we could get Nicholas Roeg to direct, Benicio Del Torro and Klaus Kinski to star and the CR list to offer technical advice and provide some cool bikes. or maybe not ......
cheking netflix for quicksilver now .....
