Loved that, also the bit he says 'scrap the car' and Clive starts dismantling the car with the guy still in it, and the bad bikers when they lose their hair and have to wear wigs :lol:

Great film, loved the knife fight with Sting, and I agree the mini-series was closer to the books and had better special effects, but the movie was pure class.

One thing though, look at the story, the great houses ( Western Nations ) and The Guild ( Oil Companies ) fighting over control of the Spice ( Oil ) in a desert where the less advanced natives use the terrain and Guerrilla warfare, and the two controlling religions also compete. Sound familiar ? :smt047

The movie is great because Frank Herbert was on the set working with the director and crew to make the movie what it was. The deviations from the book were ones that he initiated, as he had changed how he would have written parts of the book (an author's work is never done).

Herbert was big on politics and ecology, and he used that in his books. The comparisons between the Spice and the Oil industry were always meant to be blatant.

Hell, if my father was home, I'd ask him of all those old westerns he used to make me watch. I can't remember the name of them for the life of me.

I do remember a absolutely hilarious Clint Eastwood movie though, it involved an Orangatang! It was hilarious. :lol: :lol:

Air Force One is a good movie, don't lie to me. I watched it as a kid, so maybe if it is truely bad, I wouldn't notice due to it being embedded into my brain as awesomeness. :shock:

LOL rose tinted glasses mate, I know several of the films I loved as a kid are actually rubbish but at the time I thought they were great, and they stayed great in my memory until I re-watched them as an adult. I suggest you never re-watch Air Force One, the memory it clearly better than the movie :-D
