Timothy's picked some belters in the past with the likes of the Hitcher, Scarface, Nighthawks and others. And this time, he's gone for the iconic 1992 action crime thriller, Hard Boiled.Hard Boiled (1992), directed by action maestro John Woo, is a landmark in the Hong Kong action genre, known for its hyper-stylized violence and stunning gunplay choreography. The film was a departure from Woo's typical themes of brotherhood and loyalty, focusing instead on a relentless, hard-edged cop named Tequila. Woo wanted to push the limits of action cinema, combining emotionally driven storytelling with balletic shootouts. The film's production was intense and complex, featuring elaborate set pieces that required meticulous planning, including the now-legendary hospital shootout that took over a month to film.The production was plagued by challenges, from budget constraints to Woo's perfectionist approach, which led to prolonged filming. At one point, the crew had to rebuild part of the hospital set after a massive explosion shot went awry. Despite the hurdles, Hard Boiled became a genre-defining classic, with Woo's signature slow-motion action sequences and inventive camera work influencing Hollywood filmmakers for decades. It marked the end of Woo's Hong Kong career before his move to Hollywood, where his style became a blueprint for modern action cinema.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Plot SummaryInspector Tequila, a tough Hong Kong cop, goes on a relentless mission to take down a dangerous arms-smuggling syndicate after his partner is killed in a brutal shootout. Teaming up with an undercover cop named Alan, who is deeply embedded in the criminal world, Tequila navigates a treacherous web of deception and violence. As tensions rise, the duo finds themselves in a deadly showdown inside a hospital packed with innocent lives at stake, culminating in an explosive battle of survival and justice.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠

In this episode of the WN Movie Talk Podcast, we take a closer look at Hollywood's enduring obsession with remakes, reboots, and revivals. Why do some projects, like Mission: Impossible, thrive while others, such as RoboCop and An American Werewolf in Paris, fail to recapture the magic of their originals? We'll explore the history of the remake, the catalysts for each new wave of remake, the creative challenges of reimagining iconic films and analyse what happens when these efforts miss the mark.From David Fincher, The Coen Brothers, Martin Scorsese and James Cameron, we discuss how top-tier directors approach remakes and why even their best efforts can sometimes falter. We also dig into the comedic missteps of Blues Brothers 2000, the nostalgic success of Beetlejuice 2, and the differences between adaptation and homage in films like William Friedkin's Sorcerer.Whether it's the long-running success of Mission: Impossible, or the reasons behind the failures of films like Poltergeist and The Hitcher, this episode is packed with insights, trivia, and plenty of movie nostalgia.If you've ever wondered what makes a great remake—or why some seem doomed from the start—this episode is for you.

So outside circumstances have dictated a temporary pivot to a different sort of pistoning action.

In this chilling episode, we delve into the horrific crimes of Harvey Louis Carignan, infamously known as "The Hammer Man," "The Hitcher," and "The Want Ad Killer." Born in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1927, Carignan's early life was marred by abuse, but it's his gruesome actions in adulthood that cement his place in the annals of true crime. Though many times the background of a killer can be informative when trying to analyze and perhaps learn to better understand the motivation for their brutal crimes, we won't dwell on his early years. Instead opting to skip ahead to his adulthood. Some people do foolish things amidst a midlife crisis, Carignan embarked on a spree of sadistic violence spanning multiple states over numerous years. Starting with the disappearance of 15-year-old Kathy Miller in 1973, we unravel a series of brutal attacks that terrorized the Pacific Northwest and beyond.We explore Carignan's early crimes - the heinous acts, his evasion of justice, and the ultimate downfall that led to nearly five decades behind bars. Join us as we piece together the timeline of terror, revealing the twisted mind of a violent, and often times bizarrely unpredictable man.  Ghost Wax is a Fantasy Horror Podcast: Owen Voncid is the last Reclaimer.

Timothy's choice this week and he's gone for the 1986 thriller, The Hitcher. Directed by Robert Harmon and written by Eric Red, the film's production began with a script that was compelling enough to draw the interest of producer Edward S. Feldman. Rutger Hauer was cast as the enigmatic and terrifying hitchhiker, John Ryder, delivering a performance that would become iconic in the thriller and horror genres. C. Thomas Howell played the young protagonist, Jim Halsey, whose cross-country drive turns into a nightmarish battle for survival. The film's casting was critical, as the chemistry and tension between Hauer and Howell carried much of the film's suspenseful and psychological weight. Filming took place primarily in the desolate landscapes of the American Southwest, which provided a stark and haunting backdrop that enhanced the film's eerie and isolated atmosphere. The production faced numerous logistical challenges, including shooting high-speed car chases and violent confrontations in remote locations. Despite a modest budget, the crew's resourcefulness and the director's vision ensured that the film maintained high production values. The cinematography by John Seale captured the vast, empty highways and the sense of foreboding that permeated the film.

Nothing says summer like a road trip movie, so we're setting off for California in this 1986 cult thriller. Things get interesting in West Texas when a young man picks up a mysterious hitchhiker who turns out to be an insane serial killer. Starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, this flick has more twists than a mountain road, but it lacked one thing when it premiered: an audience. Yes, it grossed even less than its $7.9 million dollar budget, but yet somehow it earned a sequel in 2003 and a remake in 2007. While both Siskel and Ebert gave this ride a “thumbs down,” director Christopher Nolan has called it one of his guilty pleasures. But is this movie more road war or road bore? We're sticking out our thumbs in hopes of catching a lift with The Hitcher!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

This week, Bryan and Dave take a trip back to 1986 for the Rutger Hauer/C. Thomas Howell horror movie road trip, The Hitcher, from the murderous, deeply troubled writer, Eric Red. Dave struggles with modern re-evaluations that attempt to claim The Hitcher as some sort of queer horror hidden gem and Bryan has to do a lot of heavy lifting to fill in the movie's massive narrative gaps in order to make it a movie worth watching. Is the movie's imperiled hero Jim Halsey dead this whole time? Is he gay and on the run from the physical manifestation of bisexuality? You're going to have to listen to find out! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bring-me-the-axe/message

Ty Franck (one half of James S.A. Corey) and Wes Chatham ('Amos Burton' on The Expanse) discussed this movie in a recent episode and we thought why not revisit this somewhat forgotten film. To say that this is a gem and misunderstood film would be putting it mildly...

The Hitcher wasn't particularly well-received when it was released in 1986, but it has developed a dedicated following in the intervening years. And a big part of that is unquestionably due to Rutger Hauer's standout performance as the title character. It's as menacing, beguiling, and unusual as the film itself. So join us as we hitch a ride with this cult classic and open up a case file on the mysterious John Ryder.   Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Play | Spotify Chris's Instagram & Twitter | Kristen's Instagram Chris & Kristen's Web Series: The Strange Case of Lucy Chandler
