Watched this with my son tonight. Forgot how much fun it is. The cast is great. Ed Harris is the absolute shit. Cage and Connery are great together. Lots of good character actors down the line (David Morse, William Forsythe, and the original Candy Man, Tony Todd!).
Having just watched Fall Guy, I was on the lookout for practical stunts, and this one is absolutely full of them. The car chase through San Francisco alone is so much over the top destruction (yet no one is killed!); it’s amazing. My son was laughing through that section as the absurdity piles up (yet it works in all its 90s Bruckheimer/Simpson glory). Some car companies must have gotten some great tax write offs with all of those destroyed automobiles.
If I must quibble, Michael Biehn dies too early. Any movie with Hicks/Reese is aces in my book. He does get a fiery scene with Ed Harris though.
