Featured review
A crooked bank wants to close their buddy's bar, so these two macho men go to work: If you can't beat 'em rob 'em
In the lawless near future, rebel biker Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) and surly cowboy Marlboro (Don Johnson) plot to rob a crooked bank in order to save the bar of a mutual friend, but end up stealing an experimental street drug called "Crystal Dream" instead of the money. Four characters in this action packed biker film are named after different brands and manufacturers; Rourke's character is named after the motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson, Chelsea Field plays a character named after the cigarette brand Virginia Slims, Wrestling legend Big John Studd is Jack Daniel's and Eloy Casados is Jose Cuervo, named after the tequila brand. Johnson's character is based on the Marlboro Man, who appeared in commercials advertising Marlboro cigarettes from 1954 to 1999. Tom Sizemore plays the crooked CEO of the bank, and Daniel Baldwin is his head of security who leads a seemingly indestructible team of trained assassins who wear bulletproof black trench coats. Despite the movie being a critical and financial failure, it has become a cult classic following its release to video and is a fun and cheesy movie to watch.
