and some quotes i found that explain it better then i could

Nick Rivers: Listen to me Hillary. I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist only to lose her to her childhood lover who she last saw on a deserted island who then turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French underground.

Hillary Flammond: I know. It all sounds like some bad movie.

[Long pause. Both look at camera]

[A crowd singing the East German national anthem]

All: Hail, hail East Germany / Land of fruit and grape / Land where you'll regret / If you try to escape / No matter if you tunnel under or take a running jump at the wall / Forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn't first.

Guard: We've tried everything, but he still won't talk. Should we bring out the Leroy Neiman paintings?

 

Captain: No, we do not want to risk violating the Geneva Convention

 

 

Someone once told me Val Kilmer was embarrassed by the movie after it came out and considers it a mistake. Go figure, its a classic in my book. lol

yep I remember that movie , I also seen an interview with Val Kilmer who was describing how some of the scenes were shot in reverse to attain certain effects , there's one scene tho he wouldn't elaborate on how they actually filmed it as no CGI effects are used in this movie - it's all old school mirrors and strings and is one of the trickiest scenes ever done in a film

I love how the german soldier dives onto the grenade to save his mates and all his mates blow up instead of him - classic head fuck cinema - the guys who wrote this truely had some good weed :greedy:

Thinking back there was some crazy shit going on in the 80's

Airplane and the Flying High series rocked for sure and whatever happened to Max Headroom ? B)
