Willow on Disney+, haven't seen it for decades and the years have not been kind on the special effects but it's a fun watch and reminded me how hot Joanne Whalley was back then.

I got work to in Willow as an extra. We'd just moved from Liverpool to Anglesey and quite a bit of it was filmed in Snowdonia. They needed (amongst others) people who could ride a horse. 50 quid a day for 8 days when you had just sat your o levels was rockstar money.

I had to dress up and wear a pigs head. Not a real one.

Story was simple + I didnt notice any bad effects with all the action going on.

Quite funny reading reviews on imdb...they range from 5-9 for the real ones. Then theres hundreds of bangladeshis giving 1/10 as it wasnt filmed in Dhaka lol

If you have been do Dhaka you'd understand why. An absolute squalid dump. Desperately sad.

I can only imagine, was introduced to a Bangladeshi chap a few years ago who raved about how amazing Dhaka was...

Then i heard him wax lyrical about how the place he stayed in Manila was incredible...

...needless to say where he recommended in Manila was a proper dump.

Quite funny that they all marked down the film to 1/10 just because its not set in their city/country.

Happens so often anyway.

Decent Polish film,some of the scenes are as brutal as the lead roles haircut,

It’s a great film. Dolph Lundgren is wonderful, but Frank Langella steals the show!

Que?

If you go back and re-watch at some point look out for the scene with the exploding van when they jump out and you’ll know what I mean haha.

Have to admit to being a little disappointed by this, I dunno why. Maybe it is because there was nothing new in it. A familiar feel to a story told many times in many movies over the years...

Pretty much yeah,death scenes and autopsies are quite gruesome,its not a Sunday teatime film with the family,it is worth a watch though

Wasn't she the nurse in the Singing Detective or am I getting her mixed up with someone else

My problem is the missus likes to multi-task on her phone when watching TV, and she's can't do that with subtitles. So whenever I watch one she calls me selfish.

There's literally dozens of series/films I'd like to watch but can't

The answer to that is very simple - get another telly

I find thats women in general,they can watch 5/6 soap operas on the bounce and tell you everything about them,plus the whole history of said soaps,but cant seem to follow a film plot or watch and read subtitles at the same time

Or ditch the wife

We have polar opposites in tastes when it comes to TV, film and books.

9pm every evening sees me in another room watching decent stuff, rather than than the pap that she watches - 7pm on a Saturday, as there`s no way I`m watching all that Saturday night Valium for the nation stuff.
