Adam Rifkin on “Rumble Fish”

Trailer 751 of 893
This was Matt Dillon's third featured role in a film based on an S.E. Hinton novel, shot back-to-back by Francis Coppola immediately after finishing The Outsiders, which shares much the same cast and crew. What was viewed as its self-indulgent art-house aura turned off audiences and critics, but modern viewers have begun to warm up to this expressionistic and bracingly experimental effort, which was characterized at the time by Time critic Richard Corliss as "Coppola's professional suicide note to the industry".

Is that Leslie Nielsen's voice on the trailer? Which makes me think it's kind of surprising no one ever did a Naked Gun type take off on these vigilante movies. Maybe it's too narrow a genre for that kind of satire, but Nielsen rampaging through the streets, killing off muggers played by Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves and Robert Stack, while being tracked by hardnose cop William Shatner, might have been pretty good.

One of my absolute favorite Charles Bronson films alongside Once Upon A Time in the West, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, 10 To Midnight and The Mechanic.
