in his high school brain to get out of that fight. It stars Casey Siemaszko and Richard Tyson in those two main roles, but the random cast of actors in this is super-solid. Recently deceased Philip Baker Hall, John P. Ryan, Mitch Pileggi and Jeffrey Tambor, to name a few. The director is Phil Joanou, who Spielberg hand-picks to make this flick after his shorts in Amazing Stories (remember those?) and then goes on to essentially become U2’s exclusive music video director. But why this flick and why my fav? It really is simple. The whole flick real ly masters the whole element of a school day, and everything this kid will do to not only get out of the fight but also get out of the school. We can all relate. But this film just continues to find and introduce new and stu pendous ways Jerry Mitchell (Casey) will go about to get out of this fight. The film uses this constant shot of the school hallway clock slowly getting closer and closer to three o’clock that before long you think that is anoth er character you are rooting against. As the day progresses and he sits in different subjects, the class lessons are always following the David vs. Goliath mythology. Chef’s Kiss. My buddy Mark and I love the scene with the note and Mitch Pileggi. Just watch it and you will know what I am talking about. And when three o’clock hits and we get the crescendo… THE FIGHT. The most quoted scene in my life. From “Let’s Finish,” “Shit, three minutes! Go, Jerry,” “Don’t fuck this up, Mitchell,” and my favorite: “No one is gonna help you now, Jerry. It’s just you and me.” Perfection. How many times have I seen it? Let’s just say back in NJ, working at a video store, this flick started my day, everyday 5-6 days a week for 2+ years. So I kind of like it. And lis ten, I don’t know where it is streaming, but it is a nine dollar dvd, so grab it on eBay/Amazon if you see it. Well worth it. Wait! Have You Not Seen... Cobra? September 2, 2022 Anyway, let’s tackle another flick that helps round out my top 5. This is for sure one that I never had the privilege of playing in the video store during my working hours. But when I was sitting at home with nothing to do but read a pile of 40 comic books, this was playing in the background. I have owned this flick on VHS twice, Laserdisc, dvd and blu-ray. Now, just a dig ital copy on one of my hard drives. The perfect Stallone 80s classic. Cobra. Sylvester Stallone is Marion Cobretti, a cop that works on the Zombie Squad in Los Angeles. The Zombie Squad (sick name) are the cops that work the midnight shift but essentially do anything to get the job done. The flick starts with a supermarket hostage scene, which gives you everything you need to know:no negotiations happening in this flick. But
