I mean, without knowing the square footage, the exact number of bathrooms beyond the first five, and some other things... yes.

Impressive response time especially with choppers.

Really should have been Taggart and Rosewood arresting him.

Does Loggia's character kill a puppy later or something? Because they haven't shown us much so far that would make any reasonable person consider him the bad guy.

I promise for future movies I'll only do this seldomly but I only noticed this for the first time last time I saw this movie last year, but the next scene where little Michael Cutler starts digging through his mom's unmentionables and finds the letters that Lincoln wrote check out the names they're addressed to.

The kidnapping attempt on the road wasn't great.

Michael looks like more of a dork in the suit than in the military dress blues.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:22 pm

Everyone in this movie EXCEPT Lincoln Hawk(s) makes great points tbh

This weaselly lawyer is supposed to be gay, right?

It's hard to imagine anyone entering any point of Nevada without seeing a casino.

The personal secretary looks and acts like the dude who blew his brains out in No Way Out.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:26 pm

It's honestly a little bit weird to have these old movies filmed in Vegas when you know what all this stuff looks like now.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:26 pm

Some of these letters are addressed to "Christina Hawks" and they came from...Lincoln Hawk. So he doesn't even know his own last name.

MEET ME HALFWAY...ACROSS THE SKY!

Hawks count: 6

He even calls himself Lincoln Hawks at the sportsbook.

Christina Hawks and Mike, the one he read was to Michael Cutler. I assume that last part is what you were getting at.

The winner of the arm-wrestling championship wins yes, a state-of-the-art 18-wheeler

Right, but it's even addressed to "Hawks" presumably from Lincoln himself.

I used to live about three miles south of that Bel Air gate.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:29 pm

The best part of these arm wrestling scenes is I'm about certain about 90 percent of these people are real arm-wrestlers.

I thought the envelope said Michael Cutler (and I did see how they all said "Hawks").

Another fun game is you tell what this movie thinks about its viewers by counting how many times the announcer explains that it is double-elimination and even what double-elimination means.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:31 pm

It was required that all 80s movies had at least one song where the name of the title of the movie was sung in a song.

Love how the airline employee's lone beef is that he can't leave the truck there, completely avoiding the legality of Mike driving at all.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:32 pm

Even in 1987 how in the fuck did a 12-year-old kid buy a plane ticket without an adult?

The camo FUBAR guy is my personal favorite by the way. But you knew that.

"Cover the back."

IT'S AN AIRPORT.

OK, the gallery of contestants in this montage is fucking hilarious.

At least Sammy Hagar is recognizable.

"Representing the truckers division, Lincoln Hawk!"

The truckers division?
