Bad thing is most of the release are only 720 instead of 1080 which is far superior.
Truly some of Landis’ best, this movie has it all: great acting with just the right balance between camp and serious performance, great characters, fun story, great locations and a steamy sex scene that shows Anne Parillaud at peak deliciousness. Thanks RL!
And I want to add that part of the charm is the authentic scenery of Pittsburg in winter against which the action unfurls – bridges, tunnels, streets and back alleys. How many movies are there that are set in Pittsburg? There are hundreds, if not thousands, shot in New York until you are sick of it (and it’s usually cliche, postcard New York, too – not so many in Brooklyn or Staten Island) or Los Angeles. But Pittsburg? I have never been there, but I know that the setting is authentic because I looked up some of the landmarks on the tape in 1992. “Northern Lights Company” in a big brick warehouse, the one Sal’s limousine goes past, shut down in 2002, while “Mamma Pina’s Pizza” from the previous scene is still going 30 years later, only with an updated logo.
This fills me with curiosity and a sense of mystery and nostalgia, and just loss, because, if I were to be transported to the Pittsburg of today, I would probably find most of these brick and mortar edifices torn down and replaced with something cheap and streamlined, as elsewhere, flat and boring and boring and flat and surveilled – no place for a vampire to appear. Or a love story to take root. And how tired I am of this same realization, film after film from the 80s-90s, which I watch not for nostalgia at all in the end but because they have something worth turning the eye to: that all this beauty and substance are gone forever. This goes for Sal “The Shark” too: though magnified by Hollywood, what a wonderful, solid crook/businessman type he is here, as played by Robert Loggia! It is true, actors are always more interesting than the people they are supposed to play, but because they are all interesting, together, which means such an ensemble could be put together at the time, the lie stops being a lie. It is *now* that we are living a lie, in Pittsburg and without, that life cannot be any more exciting than what we see around or on TV.
A lovely and original film. Robert Loggia steals the show all along, especially when reclining on a leg of pork for a pillow. :) There are also some quite telling scenes of what a sudden transformation would be like.
