My son has always liked a Western spoof of the old Wiley Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons called "The Villain" in which Arnold Schwarzenegger played "Handsome Stranger". Personally, I prefer his performances in "Terminator", "Predator", and "Total Recall". "Total Recall" was loosely based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale". Harrison Ford starred in another Dick adaptation, "Blade Runner", based on Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". "Blade Runner" introduced me to the fascinating actor Rutger Hauer. Hauer also starred in one of my favorite Sylvester Stallone movies, "Nighthawks", where Stallone plays a character who uses his intellect more than his instinct to track down a German terrorist. (L. to R. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paul Newman, Meryl Streep, Barbara Streisand, Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, and Whoopi Goldberg) | ||||||||||||||||||||
