From time-to-time I will announce in this thread an upcoming broadcast or cablecast of a film or program deemed to be TGZ Forum-worthy of Member's attentions.
For the inaugural such alert, I commend to all's attention this evening's cablecast of 1977's Rolling Thunder on Showtime "SHOWX" (a/k/a "Showtime Extreme.")
Dates and times, EST:
Oddly, this violence gives our protagonist-with-a-major-case-of-anomie, Major Charles Rane (William Devane), a new sense of purpose, revenge! And in the grand finale in a South-of-the-Border brothel, he is joined by an old Army buddy in the person of Tommy Lee Jones, who utters the film's best line to that '70s flicks consummate "floozie," Cassie Yates, in what I believe is her only topless appearance… and I tend to pay attention to those sort of things!
Good gun action, and, remember this was a product of the mid-'70s, look for LukeAskins Askew (then late of Easy Rider) in a major supporting role as "Automatic Slim," so unusual for that period was his choice of sidearm that he it became his colloquial identity.
