Viewing Notes

I’d been meaning to rewatch this for a while. Not nearly as good as I recalled from my youth, nor as bad as I suspected it would be.

It was weird to see a young Chris Walken and Tom Berenger, but even stranger to recognize Ed O’Neill (from Married With Children) in a minor supporting role.
