    Loved Eastwood in all his westerns, spaghetti or not. An icon.
    But for me, Chief Dan George steals this flick from everyone.

    Goldblum was good ... all the leads did good work. Arquette sleepwalked through her role though.

    I especially liked James Gammon as the baddie in the thieves camp: I think there's just a couple o' guys up there and this asshole is one of them!'

    First time I saw Linda Hunt was in " The Year of Living Dangerously"...I was totally blown away when I read in the cast credits she was a woman. Great performance.
    Btw, that flick is well worth seeing if haven't. Something different.
    Early Mel Gibson and an untouched Nicolle Kidman...as pretty as a prayerbook.
    Great, exciting score, too.

    One of Costner's first...his first might have been as the corpse in The Big Chill.

    not much of a semi truck buff so I'm limited when commenting but aerodynamics rule the day w all vehicles anymore
    driving down the road every car pretty much looks the same so progress marches on I guess
    sure are a lot of them on the road so maybe replacement parts is a good business?
    always seemed these owner operators would have to also be pretty decent mechanics to survive
    can't imagine what tires cost for these rigs let alone gas and taxes
    I did actually drive one of these a couple of blocks in an industrial area when I worked for footlocker in another lifetime
    they were moving inventory into a temporary warehouse and all the drivers were pretty good friends since we worked together unloading and I saw them constantly
    given the chance I went for it and shifted a couple of times bringing it to a stop before going in to the bay doors
    so I can always say I drove a W900 like I am now
    it was pretty cool but that double clutching thing takes some getting used to

    so went out for a belated bday dinner w my kid last night at some well reviewed Malaysian restaurant in LA
    very hard to find good Malay cuisine and usually I drive over an hour to OC...it was decent but still making the drive next urge
    walking in they had an old movie marquee w the birthday people getting wishes
    crazy part was along w my name was one of my brothers, a sister and a female version of my apparently full transitioning nephew
    last time I spoke to him was July and thought he'd find the photo funny since he used to have a sense of humor so I sent it
    the reply was "please do not contact me unless it is an emergency thank you"
    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved in a selfish way since at least I don't have to bear witness to the process
    really love that kid but as the gf likes to say, what to do?
