    Didn't know a Backdraft 2 existed, had to look it up. Went straight to video with a cast of no-names (at least to me) except for William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland.

    Didn't even know they'd made a sequel to that. I mean, look at this effing cast. How do you fuck that up?

    A follow-up to the classic original, this film finds con men Fargo Gondorff (Jackie Gleason) and Jake Hooker (Mac Davis) reuniting for another scam. While Hooker matches wits with the seductive Veronica (Teri Garr), she ultimately becomes an ally when the schemers take on their old archrival, Doyle Lonnegan (Oliver Reed), and his fellow shady character, Gus Macalinski (Karl Malden). Hooker poses as a washed-up boxer, and Gondorff and Veronica help to set up the sting.

    Smokey and the Bandit II sucked.

    Sutherland reprises his role as the Hannibal Lecter type arsonist and is ridiculously over the top but is still one of the better parts of it. Also includes this moment (yes, I was watching this at 3 in the morning)

    Jaws 4 produced a great standup bit, at least, the late Richard Jeni's rant about the "mom of the family who has seen her entire family wiped out by a shark. And decides, this fish is stalking me. I need to leave the country and sleep with Michael Caine. Wouldn't just moving into an apartment keep you safe from the shark?"

    "Blame it IN Rio" sounds like a porn title. Sort of.

    Halloween 3: Season of the Witch was crap. I thought the idea was to try to turn the franchise into a sort of anthology, with each movie being new stories and characters based around the theme of Halloween. It was bad enough that the just went back to Michael Myers murdering people.

    That jingle is also one of the most annoying pieces of music in any film.

    The gulf between Chinatown and its sequel The Two Jakes is wide.

    And yet it's still a hundred times better than Halloween 6.

    I've never seen it. I just read a summary online and it sounds awful. Sounds like a waste of Paul Rudd.
