I have seen very film Burt made and he was a real man, a mans man, a tough guy! in the real sense. This was a great an fitting tribute to Burt in his twilight years, his last action film. I think the best line was when Rashid asked him , why pull over? Bull said "Because I said so!"
H. Ross Perot was like the Sam Walton of Computers, he was one of the first in the 70's to start bring data systems into business. EDS out of Dallas was one of the first big computer based companies.
