"We'll make a great team, old man. You for the words, me for the pictures. I can be your eyes.'" -- Billy Kwan
I must admit that I had never heard of this movie prior to putting it on my Netflix DVD queue back in September. Released in December 1982 this was during a period when such a film would not have been my first choice for an evening of Hollywood-created entertainment. At the time, I was a 21-year old male Air Force member serving in the United Kingdom and action/comedies were my then-favorites. In the near 30 years hence, I am sure that I had dozens of chances to watch it but never made the conscious decision to do so until this afternoon. Nearly two hours later, I sat back in my recliner and asked myself why I avoided it for so long because it turned out to be a very good movie. As I warned readers for my other movie review, I will be providing items that may spoil the experience if you have not seen the movie before. If you fall into that category, I recommend you stop reading now.
