Produced by Die Hard / Lethal Weapon's Joel Silver - thus those sad guitar bits that pop up in the 'deep' moments.
A cheesy pleasure. Why does he pack the boot full of tyres? Because he knows his will be slashed. And "Do you always take your medical records with you wherever you go?" "It saves time." sort of thing. And why doesn't the big guy just get out of the way of the falling bear?
Swayze is fucking fit, that much I will agree to. But why make him a philosophy graduate and then not use that somehow?
Ben Gazzara pretty much just smiles his way through; Sam Elliott, Kelly Lynch, Marshall Teague, Julie Michaels, Red West, Sunshine Parker, Jeff Healey (blind singer / guitarist).
The ending in which the beleaguered townspeople take turns in shooting Gazzara to death is particularly satisfying.
