Red Heat 1988 is unintentionally funny for those who speak Russian

Our main character Ivan Danko ( Arnold Schwarzenegger ) is introduced with a shot showing his magnificent muscular butt-cheeks, right before a fight breaks out between naked men in the snow, all trying to scream words and sentences in Russian, sounding utterly stupid doing so. That is how Red Heat, a 1988 Walter Hill movie, begins.

#StreetsOfFire by #WalterHill. Favourite of my early teens. It immediately catches me again. First shot, the neon lights reflected on the wet street. Then going all-in with #JimSteinman's music, strong colours, the audience at the rock concert turning into an impersonal, billowing silhouette. #DianeLane, wow, Diane Lane! The threatening entrance of the incredibly evil looking #WillemDafoe and his gang. The sudden high-carnage fight and kidnapping with acts of totally gratuitous violence.

The Driver 1978 is not quite the original Drive from 2011

A lot of people say that Nicolas Winding Refn's 2011 film Drive is a remake of 1978 film The Driver by Walter Hill. And to some extent it is true. Both are about a getaway driver. And both drivers are these tough, melancholic characters played by a guy who's first name is Ryan. But that seems to be about it.

Streets of Fire 1984 is Walter Hill over-directing a bit

Some actors cannot produce emotion, which looks very bad. But a lot of bad actors over-act. Which is not good either. Today, watching the 1984 Walter Hill movie Streets of Fire, I think I finally saw an over-directed film. Is this a bad thing? No! The film is a blast. But it is not your typical movie. It is trying so hard that it crosses the line into avant-garde cinema, while remaining a dumb action film.
