Mr. Cinema

Some friends of mine are getting together Friday night for a Gary Busey double feature. We're starting things off with Surviving the Game, which I think is a terrific cheesy 90s action flick featuring a typical nutty Busey performance.

We weren't sure on the 2nd choice and after glancing at his filmography, I suggested Bulletproof based on the insane synopsis. Everyone quickly agreed, so that is our 2nd feature. This sort of sounds like a Busey version of Commando.

We already watched Point Break awhile back and no one was interested in seeing Predator 2 or Under Siege.

Was Bulletproof a good choice?

Never seen any Busey flicks beyond Lethal Weapon, Predator 2 and Point Break. Never heard of Bulletproof...saw some clips on youtube....yeah...I don't think I will.

Well you have Silver Bullet, DC Cab, Drop Zone, Black Sheep, or Soldier(with his constant "My daddy always told me" euphemisms.) Or the Gingerdead Man or that one movie he made in Turkey where he was a US military doctor stealing organs.

Yeah, dude takes any flick for a paycheck. Still wish I'm with Busey was available in it's entirety.

I did see Bulletproof a looooong time ago. I only really remember it had Darlanne Fluegel in it, who was the cute wife from Running Scared. I also vaguely remember Busey's character having a jar of the bullets that had been pulled out of him or something. I don't think I hated it though, but that was ~20 years ago.

Silver Bullet is essential. Busey is great, but Everett McGill's "YOUU MEDDLING...LITTLE...SHIT!" makes it even better.

Surviving the Game has a mesmerizingly weird monologue that Busey ad-libbed. It's definitely fun, but you could keep the movie the way it is and recast Tracy Morgan (preferably as Tracy Jordan playing the role) in the Ice-T role and nothing would change at all.

I've seen the first half-hour or so of Bulletproof, and it's quite crazy. Henry Silva's the bad guy. Surprised no one posted this yet:

This MUST be seen! I inadvertantly bought this DVD and don't really want to part with it. Didn't watch it yet. But the cover and idea is gutbusting.

I thought Bulletproof was an Adam Sandler / Damon Wayans movie.

As a wise man once put it, "There's nothing new under the sun--or in the video stores."

A Busey night and you skip Under Siege? Damn...

Mr. Cinema

It was mentioned and denied. None of us have seen Bulletproof and the insane premise made it an easy call. We're not exactly looking for the best movie of the bunch. Which is why we didn't choose The Buddy Holly Story.
