Black Moon Rising (1986)
"Mr. Quint and I go back a ways. We used to be... what, in competition?"
"I never considered you competition, Marvin."
"Aw, that's not nice, Quint. We had our moments."
"You must've had yours in private."

TLJ is a good charismatic lead‚ and apparently adlibbed a lot#of his own dialogue (but was also reportedly difficult to work with and particularly clashed with Hamilton; he was struggling with#alcoholism during filming) and there's a lot of heavy hitters in that cast but it perhaps spreads itself too thin: i always enjoy seeing#Keenan Wynn turn up (and this was his final film) but his character is under developed and adds nothing to the plot‚ and should#probably have been cut... and maybe more time given to Robert Vaughn's big villain‚ whose deeper motives (beyond stealing fancy cars)#remain largely unexplored. the super duper future car is pretty cool‚ even if it does test the limits of belief at times. idk i think it's#just taking itself a little too seriously in places‚ forgetting to have fun with what is essentially a pretty silly idea. this was a john#carpenter script‚ but his involvement ended there; can't help but feel that if he'd directed it then it would have been more successful#and matched the campy tone of Christine or They Live. a slightly missed opportunity but not a waste of time by any means
