Viewing Notes

TRR-TV programmed a double feature of two movies long time not available due to music rights. This was the first one (the second was GET CRAZY). Both have been recently released on Blu so Jason fired them up for a watch party.

Hadn’t seen this in a long time so very fun to revisit. Swayze is so great as Ace.
