Firewalker-1986

Max Donigan (Chuck Norris-Delta Force) and Leo Porter (Louis Gossett, Jr.-An Officer and a Gentleman) are up to their necks in adventure. The first scene has them chased through some desert by a post apocalyptic looking group of rag bags led by a highly antagonized, totally gnarly badman.

They are adventure hunters and fortune seekers and no challenge is too big. If the going gets rough, they pump each other up with man cheers and take care of business with bitchin fire fights and some martial arts. They meet Patricia Goodwin (Melody Anderson-Flash Gordon) who tells them about a totally rad multi-cultural Egyptian, Apache, Aztec, Manyan treasure of gold. The adventure with  sounds too risky for the duo, but after a bar fight and some macho talk, they take on the task.

Follow them through back roads, trails, volcanoes, quicksand, bad guys and swamps of South America in their quest for gold.

Stand By Me

Stand By Me is a coming of age story set in the innocence of 1959. While under his porch, looking for his lost treasure, Vern Tessio (Jerry O’Connell, the future superstar’s only notable 80’s movie) overhears his brother’s frantic confession of finding a human body. It seems the local teen has been missing. Vern tells his buddies and the hunt begins.

A superb caste of players make up Vern’s gang. Corey Feldman (Lost Boys), River Pheonix (Little Nikita) and Will Wheaton (Star Trek The Next Generation) portray, Teddy, Chris and Gordy. Together the four brave the elements, older boys, wild animals, ghost stories and each other to find the meaning of life and friendship. This is a hear warming story all should see.

This is a great 80’s movie, but you won’t find the 80’s here. It takes place in 1959 and is supported by songs and memorabilia of the times. In the beginning and end it flashes forward to 1986. Appearances by Richard Dreyfus (Stakeout)  and Kiefer Sutherland (Lost Boys) help make Lost Boys and iconic piece.

Stand By Me is Rated R for language.
