Just two logo intros taking under 30 seconds at the start, so an easy roll in from before the MGM lion.
Just like Dark Side of the Moon. We'll start together at the MGM lion roaring.

So is it still 9:15 rather than 9:00? Might want to update the thread title and first post if that's the case.

Edited first post, but leaving the title since that's the time to make people go "oh shit, that's tonight" and so we can grab a quick hit off our vapes and whatnot.

So something to look out for throughout the movie is that Stallone's character, Lincoln Hawk, is repeatedly referred to by other characters multiple times as "Hawks". It's like the filmmakers couldn't decide on what his name is and just decided to change back and forth during filming.

I really hope you like this Kenny Loggins song playing over the opening credits because if not this is going to be a really unbearable 90 minutes for you.

I remember the Golan-Globus name being on a bunch of movies I watched as a kid, and didn't realize until years later that it was synonomous with shit.

I don't think this is Loggins actually. There's two songs that just get played over and over and over and over and over again throughout the movie.

Lincoln Hawk is an "independent trucker" not to be confused with those trust-fund corporate truckers.

It sounds like Family Guy making fun of Kenny Loggins.

Someone named "Lincoln Hawk" is 100 times more likely to be an Ivy League rower than a truck driver.

I don't know if I've ever wanted to punch a 12-year-old more than the character of Hawk's kid, which means the young man playing him deserves some props.

Feel bad for the limo driver, he's got not one, but two 12-year-olds above him in the chain of command.

Not sure why Hawk and the kid's mom decided to have Lincoln pick him up and not bother to tell the kid or why it waited until the last second here.

I think the movie missed a real chance to have Hawk dressed in jeans with a tie for the wedding.

"Meet Me Halfway" is the Loggins song that will be stuck in your head for the next two weeks.

This kid sucks, but he's right to be suspicious in that this is how every abduction begins.

Yeah, this could be the start to a very different movie.
