Viewing Notes

I had seen this earlier in the year and getting to see it in 35mm on the big screen at terror Tuesday was a total treat. Not only that but we got lucky enough to get a balcony seating!

Everything about this movie is great. Funny, sarcastic jokes, great bod melting, action, and more! The Chinese restaurant scene remains to be one of the most memorable and gross scenes in any 80s horror movie ever.

I could see this a hundred more times and still love it as much, if not more.
