      Grand Theft Auto Reference

      1. A typical B-grade film in the 1980s. The scenes are all industrial areas and chaotic areas. The content of the story is fists and pillows, and the theme is speeding and gunfighting. The characteristics of these B-level films are vividly reflected. 2. The hotel at the beginning of the film, the appearance of the entrance and the house opposite the hotel, constitute the overall environment, which seems to be a scene of an assassination level in "Grand Theft Auto 5". Remember that in the...

      Where is the real accident?

      ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………


      The death of the handsome and handsome first actor, to say that the accident was just a little unexpected at the moment: suddenly and bloody. From the point of view that behavior produces results, it's not surprising at all. He used to threaten his girlfriend to do some illegal activities for him in the name of sending him to prison. He broke...

      Very sudden-the anti-traditional "L.A. Life and Death"

      In a brilliant career, American director William Friedkin has made many memorable films, but his 1985 film "To Live and Die in LA" (To Live and Die in LA) ), is a work that is often overlooked, especially when compared to such masterpieces as "The Exorcist" and "The French Connection". "L.A. Life and Death" is a typical genre movie. Like "French Drug Network", the content is also about the confrontation between good and evil between police and bandit. The former is related to drug cases, and...

      The dazzling, eye-catching, and fake of the 1980s.

      This movie, like its brother The French Connection more than a decade ago, is a portrayal of the decade it belongs to. I think "French Drug Network" is a masterpiece that stands on the top of the pyramid of American police films. However, the reason that led me to watch "L.A." is not director William Friedkin, but he found Robby Müller, the early royal photography of Wenders. Master-come to shoot police movies, car chase scenes!

      "French Drug Network" is closely linked to the case and...

      The Hypocritical Net—The "American Counterfeit Banknote Net" 14 years later by the French Drug Trafficking Net

      William. "French Drug Network" directed by Fred King in 1971 can be regarded as a model that created a new police film in the 1970s, and made major breakthroughs in story and special effects. In 1974, he shot the horror film "The Exorcist", which shocked the world, and these two films alone can rank him as a master of the 70s. But since then, he has hardly made a decent film again, and that "Threatening" is just a remake of Cruzo's masterpiece. Many directors like to repeat the same old way...

      The plot is too vulgar, filled with all kinds of coincidences and unexpected plots. But the opening was quite atmospheric. The young William Peterson (the eldest in CSI) was tall and straight, and Jiebao was revealed in the back; Willem Dafoe burned his own paintings and made counterfeit...

      In fact, I quite like this kind of picture... and the soundtrack is really hilarious in the 1980s. [= The male protagonist died unexpectedly, in response to the title? Anyway, when I watched it, I kept thinking of a movie similar to The movie "Counterfeit Money Maker", and then I don't remember if I have seen it... Then I couldn't find it... Finally, I found out that the original name was Counterfeit Money Maker... But the plot was completely unimpressive, though I gave it Four Stars...Shenma...

      Second, the boundary between conscious crime and unconscious crime for combating crime is quite blurred. How can William Duff's death be worthy of his high IQ? Fred King used three songs from Wang CHUNG, among which the 9-minute theme song City of the Angels was used in several action passages. This song has been circulating continuously on the phone for the past six months, which is really refreshing www.xiami.com...
