Watching southern comfort right now! Great hillbilly killing good time!

I specifically rewatched Brewster’s Millions for this episode. I really enjoyed revisiting the flick. It’s not the funniest movie ever made, but it’s an enjoyable watch with an interesting concept. Good for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon right after you finished watching Trading Places. As for Walter Hill, I attended a really great touring “seminar” led by Joe Bob Briggs about The Warriors. Highly recommended if you ever have a chance to see Joe Bob doing his thing.

My favorite Walter Hill flick is The Warriors ( as is probably the case for a lot of people ) The problem with this film is the home video version has the comic book transitions. Takes me out of the film whenever these effects come up -- definitely a case where a director's vision wasn't necessarily the best decision.

The Warriors & Streets of Fire are definitely my favorites. Always expected the latter to be its own episode. Tarantino had some great things to say about Hill as a writer when accepting a WGA lifetime achievement award. I personally think Hill’s directing career dipped after 86’s Crossroads. 2002’s Undisputed, which is a fairly enjoyable bad movie, is the most recent of his work I’ve seen. Still, he has an impressive writing & producing resume.

I won't know my opinion of Walter Hill until about 90 minutes after this episode is released.

Richard Pryor’s standup was incredible, but his movies by and large weren’t that great, but I think this might be one of the best movies he did along with Stir Crazy and Silver Streak.

Every other word in 48 Hours is either a slur or motherfucker and it's amazing

Fernandez

Trespass also a great one, by hill!

The Arrow Video 4K is the original theatrical version.

Walter Hill rules. To me, he's one of the Mt. Rushmore of '80s cult directors: John Carpenter, Joe Dante, John Landis and Hill. He's one of the only action directors I can think of where you watch his action films for the characters, rather than the action.

Walter Hill is one of my favorites, my favorite of his is probably Extreme Prejudice.

A terrific journeyman director that don't exist anymore. If I described "The Warriors" You te ll me i was drunk, and that I needed to go home. What a fun film. 48hrs on paper sounds almost formulaic, but is such a great movie.

I only just saw Brewster's Millions a couple months ago and I was a little inebriated while watching. I later was describing to my brother what I had seen and he thought I was making it up.

BREWSTER’S is far from my favorite Hill movie but it has its charms. Definitely respect that Hill tried something different at that point. Along with his films he directed one of the best Tales From the Crypt episodes, “Cutting Cards” with Lance Henriksen and Kevin Tighe as rival gamblers.

it was a good movie...also Last man Standing with bruce willis was another great movie!

Streets of Fire 👏👏👏 Albert Pyun made an unofficial sequel with Michael Pare and Deborah Van Valkenburgh in the 00s. I haven’t watched it but sounds like something Ryan should know.

Haven't seen Brewster's yet (although I am fond of the story of it's development being rooted in a lot of Michael Eisner bullshit) but Walter Hill is one of my favorite directors. Streets of Fire's opening is what movies were made for

Salvador Pereira

just watch Eephus (2024) from Music Box Theatre...Great Movie!!...If you ever played any sports at dark you will get this movie!

He co-wrote the screenplay for a theatrical bomb, The Getaway, which perhaps not surprisingly enjoyed success on the VHS release.
