    So is Rouke's character this guy:
    [en.wikipedia.org]
    or this guy:
    [en.wikipedia.org]

    or some combination of the two?

    If he is the first guy (whiplash) then how can he get hit repeatedly by the car and not be hurt? He didn't have any armor (outside of a bulletproof suit).

    If he is a combo of the two it makes more sense because he may have armor underneath his pants.

    I keep telling myself that there's a reason for the whips, that it's easier to electrocute someone with a solid connection rather than through the air, that it can be made to make some kind of sense.

    But, damn. Goofy-looking.

    not sure what kind of kibbutz miss newitz grew up on, but she does seem to have the opposite reaction to things scifi fantasy people generally like, or simply is lacking in geek cred/history. not that that's a bad thing. it just seems like her articles are here with the sole purpose of pissing off genre fans. not including well known giant robots in her informal giant robot poll seemed to lack research of any kind. the list included robots my mom would probably name. not supposed uber geeks.


    still, at the time this movie was released, it was seen as a semi-last stand for rourke, and a bad career move for a certain huxtable (deemed by bill cosby). it was pretty well liked for it's creepy shock art house vibe that carried through the "independent" film period up till around the crying game. didn't make that much money. but i'd like to think it paved the way for twin peaks, and arty early 90's "independents"

    @FrellingDominar: I saw this movie when it came out, was a die-hard horror fan at the time (still am) and I think it's cheesy as hell. Those voodoo scenes? Give me a break.


    I don't consider "cred" to mean "having the same opinions as everybody else." And I believe most fans of scifi would agree - simply by virtue of being fans of this genre, we have already accepted that our opinions don't exactly match those of the people around us.

    I was going to strenuously defend this great film-with-a-poor-ending, but i see the kind Lassus and gods-n-clods have already fiiled the breach (and/or breech). I am with you chaps. I think the first half of Angel Heart is one of the best films out there.

    @UdoCulleo: I agree that it had cool elements, but the over-the-top devil performance by De Niro definitely pushed it into campy territory. Still it's great to see Rourke in fine form here - he could act even before The Wrestler.

    Hey now-- great movie, but an icky scene that really doesn't need to be in the film... edits were broadcast without the most gruesome bits.

    A damn fine film that gets -ruined- in the last 30 seconds. Who's with me?

    @Andy Hunt: See, I didn't want to throw out that *SPOILER!1!**! (that the glow eyed little baby sucks with the 1987 graphics... and there's a very small window in the script, that allows for the whole "devil/Johnny" relationship to be completely made up, like nothing ever happened, and there's no supernatural involved).

    Your response to that, however, put it all out there. Spoilers indeed. Guess I won't be needing to see this one now...

    Booooooo! to calling this movie bad. It was actually a pretty twisty stylish piece in 1987, decent noir with good pacing and really nice art direction.


    I know it doesn't make it good, but I remember specifically going to see it by myself when it came out, then dragging all my high school friends with me to see it the very next day.


    You want to pick on 1987, there's all kinds of Witchboard, Project X, and *batteries not included to mine for suck.

    @Lassus: Also, I would say the violence of the sex isn't really so much a stereotype as a foreshadowing of the reveal at the end. It isn't much of a "all women are submissive and want to be hurt" stereotype based on that scene.


    (Despite my defense of the film, the orgy bit in here is really ludicrous. Everything else works, though.)

    This article seems a bit Troll-like. Trying to stir things up where there really is no story. I hope io9 doesn't become a "ooh I saw one picture from the filming of a movie therefore here are all of my uninformed assumptions."


    You guys are better than this.

    Despite loving every inch of the original Iron Man movie [...]


    [...] but this wouldn't be the first time that a sequel has turned out to be as sucky as the original.


    I wish I had that fabulous Donald Sutherland TROLL picture at my disposal. It seems highly appropriate for this piece.
