365Flicks (235 KP) rated King Cohen: The Wild World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen (2017) in Movies
Oct 31, 2019 (Updated Oct 31, 2019)
Bloody Brilliant Documentary...
Steve Mitchell has captured a wonderful piece of work revolving around one of cinemas greatest pieces of work as Mitchell takes us from the beginnings of Cohens career on TV in the 60s to his prolific work on Blaxsploitaion through the 70s and 80s to writing one of my favorites of the 90s (Phone Booth) by tackling each project one by one. We hear some really interesting stories from some of the guys who knew him best and get a real good personal loving look at Larry Cohen and his long spanning career.
Versusyours (757 KP) rated Joe 90 in TV
Nov 4, 2019
This was reshown on BBC in the 90s and it caused a bit of stir off the back of Thunderbirds and all things marionettes. The story of a normal 9 year old to some but a super duper secret agent to others. His father was an inventor who created the technology to give Joe his super brain powers. Not sure why you would experiment on your kid but it was the 60s after all. There were James Bond elements and Cold War based plots. It would have been ground breaking at the time and hasn't aged too badly in the present day.

I used to have issue with the original 1990 film adaptation, but compared to this it was as faithful as heck! My main issue with the 90s version is that they turned the boy back into a human at the end. This version did not do this, but they failed to realise why Dahl had him stay a mouse. The poor man will be cartwheeling in his grave! So many great artists were involved in the making of this abomination, both in front and behind the camera, it boggles the mind as to why it turned out to bad!

David McK (3562 KP) rated Kindergarten Cop (1990) in Movies
Sep 27, 2020
Early 90s (1990?) effort by the Austrian Oak to soften his tough guy image, playing the role of a tough cop who has to go undercover in a nursery school to track down and protect the former wife of a drug dealer.
And, of course, 'hilarity' ensues.
Or, at least, what the screenwriters thought would be hilarious, as Arnie finds himself struggling to cope with a class of 5(?) year old while also starting to fall for one of his colleagues.
Actually, to be fair, it's not all bad: it is enjoyable enough, just not laugh out loud funny.

Buddy-cop movie from the late 90s that (I believe) had the tagline "The Fastest Feet in the east meets the Fastest mouth in the West" at the time of release, and which see's Jackie Chan's Hong Kong cop (the former) travelling to America where he - initially unwillingly - teams up with Christ Tucker (the latter) LAPD cop to investigate the kidnapping of the Chinese consulate's 11 year old daughter,
Marrying Jackie Chan's particular breed of fast-footwork slapstick with Chris Tucker's fast mouth, this is pretty much what you'd expect from a film in this genre!
