I actually found myself slightly attracted to Kurt Russell in one scene. Which was highly disturbing.
Although he's put on weight a bit recently, Kurt's a legend. Especially in John Carpenter films like Escape from New York and the Elvis bio pic he did. And I loved him in that film where he's driving through the desert and his wife goes missing.
Oh yes, that's one's quite scary.
For Hip hop fans, a little-known, low budget film, from 1981/1982, called Wildstyle, is as Badass as it gets. Back when it was made, Hip hop didn't exist anywhere but New York, and this film captures the scene, before the mainstream money men got their hands on it, and turned it into the laughing stock it is today.
The clip below is great, as it highlights the 3 elements of the subculture, that usually don't get the media attention that Rap music enjoys - DJing, Grafiti Art and Breakdancing. Oh, and if you've ever wondered why breakdancers are so-called, this clip should make it clear. Back in about 1973, a DJ from the Bronx, who called himself Kool Herc, started noticing that the dancers at his parties always went crazy, doing all sorts of acrobatic moves, whenever heavily percussive instrumental parts of songs would play. Eventually, he came up with the idea of putting two copies of the same record on his turntables, and extending the drum solos, or breaks, as they became to be known, by cutting from one turntable to the other, playing the drum breaks over and over. So, the people who danced to these breaks were known as B-Boys/Girls, which was short for Break Boys/Girls, and eventually became known as Breakdancers. Here's Grandmaster Flash, cutting up Breaks, for the Rock Steady Crew B-boys: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JspJMW46n5k&NR=1
