 The Park Is Mine (1986) - Trailer 
A film about a Vietnam Veteran tired of being pushed around and treated like shit. A friend of his who also served commits suicide while dying of cancer. In his note, he tells Tommy Lee Jones that he had a plan to take over Central Park and raise awareness for down and out vets.
Tommy Lee Jones keeps the plan alive and goes through with it. Laying siege to Central Park and keeping the NYPD out. The Deputy Mayor wanting to use this crisis to enhance his career and the Police Commissioner not wanting to jeopardize his agrees and a two man Merc team is inserted into the park. One is a Dutch National that has served in South East Asia and Africa and the other is a former Viet Cong that likes money. In the end, Tommy Lee Jones raises awareness for vets, wins the fight, and surrenders. Because the nation has been at war for 16 years and there is no end in sight. We have political division and a ton of disgruntled veterans that have been treated like shit. We have politicians willing to use crisis for their personal gain in career and numerous LE command staff that sides with the politicians to protect their golden goose of a job. So take it for what it is or think about it and try to apply that contexts of the film's into today's world. |

I remember watching that film with my Brother shortly after it came out. We laughed all the way through it. In a cheesy, campy way it was actually good. Not sure how it's held up though, but I may watch it again someday when I'm bored. Along with movies like Dark Star and The Challenge, it might still be campy, cheese goodness.

I like that movie, it's a good watch.
I watched First Blood a year ago for the first time in 20 years. I was impressed in the beginning how Stallone played a Vietnam veteran who is clearly used to being shit on by people because of his appearance. He does a good job of portraying someone weary of it. |

doesn't he switch between mags of live rounds and mags of blank rounds without swapping a blank-firing adaptor on or off his rifle? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Great book. I've never seen the movie all the way through - I always seem to catch it halfway in. I'll have to make a point of looking it up.

Most film production companies frown on shooting actors, or even extras or set crew, with actual bullets. Yes, there is some cost in realism, but it helps with insurance expenses immensely. Quote HistoryQuoted:

him standing there in camo, with a knife and an AK, chastising the guy for bringing a girl to Central Park at night because "there are weirdos out here!" is classic Also Pay Phones. Kids these days don't understand Pay Phones. |
