Seeing Roger wearing 3-D glasses is radically strange! No wonder, he hates them! Spacehunter sounds very cheap, like a bad video game! It even features Molly Ringwald long before she became part of the Brat Pack in the John Hughes films.

I also love "Blue Thunder" and "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi"! Two awesome films on one show!

Regarding the stinker of the week: I actually started watching Deadly Eyes about two years ago and at about 15 minutes I had to stop because not only was it boring but it actually depicted the death of a human baby off screen ( something I thought I would never see in a movie). We even get to see the blood. It was just a cheap piece of exploitation. The director was the same guy who directed Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee, boy has he fallen

When I heard the Deadly Eyes described by Gene I my initial thought was "this might be a good one for the CinemaSnob to review." After reading your description, I’m sure of it!
If you haven’t heard of the CinemaSnob, look him up and you’ll KNOW what I mean!

i hate to correct Siskel, but Breathless was released in 1960, not 1959. In the US it was released untill 1961. One of the first greats of the French New Wave

I got a kick out of the end of the jedi review: "boy we can’t wait for Lucas to make those new Star Wars movies". Man, to think that there was a time when people had so much faith in Lucas...

Nice of Shelley Long to shill for the furniture guy with the flexible payment options (16:16), especially considering "Cheers" was already up and running.

This would have been right after the first season of Cheers. I think it was near the bottom of the ratings in that first year and almost got cancelled, so people probably still didn’t know who Shelley Long was. She had already been in Night Shift by this point as well, but I guess she still needed to pay the bills.

Ebert: "[...] Lucas says he eventually hopes to make six more Star Wars movies and based on what he’s done so far I hope he does."

so did we. and then we got to got to see the prequels. ugh...

Great classic episode. Who doesn’t love "Return of the Jedi", even though it is the weakest of the original trilogy and the Ewoks are pretty annoying.

I’m going to side with Gene on "Blue Thunder" though, my dad and I loved it when I was just a kid.

The remake of "Breathless" was so bad and so weird it almost has to be seen, but don’t go into looking for enjoyment.
