Sheathing itself in bad taste, this film flaunts its tackiness, its machismo, and its very stupidity, which of course makes for a lot of dopey fun. Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) returns to his roots, the LA of 1996 (the film was set in the near future, as it was made in 1991). Burbank has become an airport, a new drug called Crystal Dream is all the rage, and Harley's favorite bar is being torn down. To save it, he and the Marlboro Man (Don Johnson, at his most engaging) concoct an armed robbery that goes awry. Instead of cash, they end up with a shipment of Crystal Dream. Hunted by a drug dealer's goons, the two bark, fight, drink, and squint at each other as they try to get themselves out of their mess. This isButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kidfor the monster-truck crowd, with plenty of breasts, choppers, broken pool cues, and empty bottles. It's impossible to blame this film for being so emphatically trashy; its creators would consider that a compliment, anyway.--Keith Simanton
badass movie i like movies that have violence and stuff so i thought this one would be cool from the writing on the back and the rating. once i saw it i was like wo. i didnt think a cheesy movie could be so awesome. its got everything violence girls emotional seens and a whole lot of other stuff. i really dont no who mickey rourke and the other guy are its the first movie ive ever seen with them. this is one hell of a movie though. i cant express in words how this movie inspires me to kick someones ass. its my favorite movie ever.
One of Those Must Haves... First, I actually saw this movie at the theater. Anyone else out there? I loved it then, and I love it now.
I'm a big fan of Mickey Rourke, and this is my favorite role of his (a close second is SIN CITY). Is there one guy out there that wouldn't love to trade places on that great bike of his for at least an hour? Too cool; he was the only pick to make that role as believable as the script could carry.
Next is Don Johnson. I personally think the guy is a shmuck, but he's great in this role. As a buddy movie, he was the perfect compliment to Rourke. And he provides some of the best lines of the film.
The supporting characters are also great, with Tom Sizemore (who makes great military and home porn flicks, and beats his girlfriends), Big John Studd (of pro wrestling fame), Daniel Baldwin (before he got fat), Tia Carrera (before WAYNE'S WORLD), and of course a gorgeous Vanessa Williams (the real hottie of this movie).
The script and acting overall may be suspect (especially that little twerp Giancarlo Esposito), but who cares...it's lots of violence, hotties, and action.
Bottomline is that this is one of the best movies for guys that like movies, and a must-have for the film collection.Good old cool movie! This is a pretty classic action movie, but it's still really cool.
