I miss these guys so much!!!
RIP Fred Ward, loved him as an actor🙏🙏🙏
Remo was a great origin story, problem is people didn’t know what those were back then and because they didn’t already know the story didn’t recognize it as such. I wish there we sequels.
These movies they pan are masterpieces compared to the junk Hollywood petals today.
I liked Silver Bullet.
Remo Williams was written and directed by James Bond alumni Christopher Wood (The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker) who wrote the script and Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger, Man With the Golden Gun) who directed.
based on a series of books by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir, let's not forget.
The debate they had over the movie Silver Bullet was absolutely Priceless that is funny stuff
The one thing Remo Williams didn't have was the fatal Hollywood flaw--it lacked a convincing, credible, and challenging villain.
Well said. I thought Joel Gray and Fred Ward were great though.
Absolutely correct. If Remo had a great villain it would be a much better film. As it is though, I still loved it and it holds up well after so many years. I only wish we got a sequel to it. I know the great Shane Black wrote a remake a couple years ago.
@@TheNameisPlissken1981 I’d love to see that my friend
I loved it too but it didn`t well at the box offfice....music was great
I'm a big fan of Silver Bullet as it's part of my 80's childhood, but, I can't defend it if someone hates it. I get it. It's an editing mess at times and easily some of the worst parents in cinema history who go off on a trip they "won" while people are being brutally killed in their town. Still, I like it, and I believe Roger is wrong that it was intentionally made as a parody. It mostly works for me due to a few scary scenes and main characters I really liked.
Roger was completely right about Silver Bullet. It has an amazing sense of humor and is very knowing about monster films.
Their review of Silver Bullet is great. That was a fun disagreement to listen to.
I just realized they never said "spoiler alerts!"
I'm still in awe he picked Amy Madigan as the Best Supporting Actress that year
She was very good, but she was let down by this screenplay
Do you have next week's with TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA? I don't think I ever saw that episode. Great movie, love to see their review.
I know Ebert really liked it
I remember the review of that movie in his book and he loved it. Everybody in the movie, the good guys and bad guys, were terrible people, but it worked. Many other movie critics hated it because nobody was likable. But such real life with criminals and the people seeking them out.
phhh, ha, well...I've always liked Bullet but neither one of them viewed it right. 1, the werewolf's identity isn't supposed to be a secret, it's the core of the film. A priest werewolf...great King invention. 2, great suspense and a great score. Only an art-film drooler would find it "funny", unintentional or otherwise.
Remo had some good moments, but that over-the-top score when he's just hanging....and hanging...and hanging....🤣🤣🤣.
Did Steven King like the Silver Bullet movie ?
@@matthewschwartz6607 all I've ever read is that he enjoyed Busey's ad-libbing. But seeing how he wrote the screenplay and even was involved in the designing of the werewolf suit (which he and De Laurentis argued over) you'd have to figure he approved of most of it. (The oddest thing is that the director of the Phantasm films was the original director before he left over creative differences).
As much as I liked Ward and Grey in 'Remo', I have to side with Ebert over Siskel. The movie just doesn't work well enough overall, despite some great stunt sequences and the chemistry between the two lead actors. Apparently, they ran out of money and that's why the climax isn't as spectacular as it needed to be. And it has a stock TV show villain (no fault of the actor, it's the writing).
I actually really like Silver Bullet! Shrugs shoulders
rest in peace Gene Siskel that goodthings most of the time.
Strange, I hated Remo Williams. I hated it from the opening scenes where the guy is kidnapped, and surgically altered - to serve the forces of good? Yeah, that doesn't add up at all. Knock off Mr. Miyagi doesn't do anything for me either.
imagine being a kid in the 80s who would see and love silver bullet in spite of these two curmudgeons.
I had to Google "Silver Bullet" and no, it was not a parody. It was meant to be regarded as a "serious" movie.
So Siskel's laughter only corroborated how bad it actually was.
Their silver bullet segment was interesting
@@bbqnetwork8536 I must have missed this one...for when I saw Silver Bullet, it scared the hell out of me (I was 10 back then) and now, thanks to this review, I fear that I will have Siskel & Ebert's chuckles taking over Jay Chattaway's score in future viewings.
I enjoy watching their reviews
I liked Gary Busey but not the film
I agree about twice in a lifetime. the wifes character was terribly written , there is no fleshing out of her character and hackmans little speech when hes telling her hes leaving doesnt hold water as much because At least to me it seems that he is just leaving her for the first woman who makes his junk hard.
Ebert was wrong. "Silver Bullet" was told with a completely straight face. And it was entertaining.
Dim Sum 👍🌟🌟🌟
Twice in a Lifetime 👍🌟🌟🌟
Fred Ward is always great....but Remo Williams was a bad film based on a great book series.
Silver bullet is one of the most boring horror movies I've ever seen in but the church scene is the best scene and only good scene in the whole movie with the where the priest fat with the minister who's aware of himself fantasizes about werewolves in the church people turning into werewolves that's funny that's all this movie has got going for it
