"If God was a villain, he would have been me."
My notes from Last Action Hero:
The Obvious:
Helecopters
Holidays
Revenge
Sky Scrapers w/ people falling off them
Kids taken hostage
Hidden weapons - lots of them
Sharpshooter - doesn't even look
Less So:
Everyone at mob funeral carrying a gun
Hamlet - First Action Hero: "To be or not to be? [lights cigar] Not to be. [explosion]"
Close-ups on boots - esp. walking on police cars
Hero almost kicks in door, then trys knob and opens it gently
"The bad puns... the voice... the rock music... it's got to be!"
So it was a fairly straight forward attempt to do exactly what we're doing - but on screen. And (i can't get over this) directed by the director of Die Hard.
Hoo-ah!
