    They do indeed.

        I have to agree with the Vampires "first 10 minutes" love. After that, the film is just a long drag of lame.

          It has been awhile since I've seen it though, may have to check it out again. I did love that beginning.

            I bought it on vhs around 2000. And I remember an awesome opening, with death and violence and bloody mayhem, then nothing. Then end credits.

            WTF???

              Those were kind of my memories as well.

              I also need to check out Starman again. I remember really enjoying that flick.

                I need to see Starman and Assault on Precinct 13. Also, Escape from LA and Ghosts of Mars, just to say I've seen 'em.

                  Starman is great. Escape from LA is horrible.
                  Touch it. Touch my fuzziness! It's like petting a kitten!

                    You've never seen Escape from LA? Oh man. Now that's a movie. Haha.

                    *secret shame*

                    I enjoy that one more than Escape from New York. IT works better for me (I love the campyness) Plus, The Chin is in it and looks awesome.

                      But it's not the better movie. I can't stress that enough. It's just more fun to watch, IMO.

                        I saw the surfing scene, and that was about it.

                          Escape from L.A. is a better movie than Escape from N.Y. It's funnier, paced better, has better actors, better villains, more interesting social commentary, better action, and is a far better adventure. It requires a hell of a lot more suspension of disbelief... but I don't think the movie being overly fantastical is all that out of line, considering it's essentially a parody. IMO, this is a clear cut case of a sequel being a better film than the first entry into the series. Sure it's not as original... post apocalyptic dystopian future movies have been done to death... but are we really going to hold that against a sequel?

                                Not gonna lie, I prefer WATCHING LA over NY. But I know NY is the better flick.
