Title: The Delta Force
Post by: Wheezer on December 31, 2020, 11:04:33 PM
OK, I'm pretty hard up for entertainment down here trying to manage my father's estate or, more properly, just get a damn handle on things. The psychological wobbliness* was sadly predictable, given that I just had to excuse myself from a freaking psych ward, but it was fairly well managed with the Harry Potter marathon, and Vin Diesel was helping here and there, but, man oh man, this entry has moved me to mamesh sadness for Lee Marvin and Chuck Norris.

I managed to miss the part that comes before the denoument because I was indulging in this composition, but Shelley Winters looked great as a saving grace.

*It's innocent. Just. Don't. Start.

Without having seen the remake, I can already safely say there's nothing in there that matches Marvin's "TAKE EM DOWN!!!" in the original.

And somehow, George Kennedy kicks nobody's ass. But you know he could.
