Extreme Prejudice

And what we're doing today is actually we're launching a brand new chapter in our year.

Those of you who joined us last week, you heard us talk about Extreme Prejudice.

So that episode, in that one, we were wrapping up not only our Walter Hill month, but also our summer solstice, our season of action.

This week, we're continuing our year-long journey into the 1980s, of course, because that's been...

Do you need like a Clint Eastwood title card at the end? I mean, Steve was apprehended by Castle Rock police forces and he's serving three to five for

ransacking the house.

Well, for me, it's almost like the extreme prejudice thing.

Where, you know, you have these two stories that are sort of evolving and you think they're going to converge at the end.

But I got the Walter Hill imprint box set.

And it has Hard Times, The Driver in 4K, Long Riders, Extreme Prejudice, Johnny Handsome and Broken Trail.

And the case is awesome.

It's a hard case here with everything.

Right.

But yeah, I got a fucking hell of a deal on it.

So now I got because I I own Extreme Prejudice because that came out on Vestron Video.

But I don't own any of those other movies.

So the third thing I saw was something that I just had to do.

It's a movie I saw, Extreme Prejudice, a Walter Hill movie.

Walter Hill was in attendance.

They were presenting him with a Lifetime Achievement Award, and he was doing a Q&A after.

And I'm really glad I got to see him talk.

He seemed very jovial.

He seemed like a little surprised that people... were big fans of Extreme Prejudice.

He kind of joked that he didn't know how people liked his movies after The Warriors, that people tend to just stop at his third movie and whatever, but he got a lot of love.

So there's only one thing we have to do today, which is find another Walter Hove movie to put on the stove.

And this movie is the 1987 Extreme Prejudice.

However, before we sit down to talk about whether this movie is or is not a Western...

I guess that's sort of the big thing staring right at us to discuss, isn't it? So, before

Oh, hell.

Well, we all move on, don't we? Uh-huh.

Extreme Prejudice, directed by Walter Hill, is a modern-day western dressed up as a border crime thriller Nick Nolte plays Jack Bentine.

Yep, and teen.

Ugh!

looks awesome and it's also a cool movie too where it's like it's all brothers uh playing actual brothers like the quades the caridines uh the keeches or anything even i know and it was funny i remember at the time i watched the movie i was thinking like women who are the big brother actors now all the hemispheres so they are they in this if you make this movie now but um yeah uh lawn riders is great i remember thinking wild bill was was good although that's one that's a little bit more uh then what episode maybe it's not quite as propulsive last man standing is the one last man standing is one that like i don't love it narratively but it's like the classic multihill thing it's like i just like love how he films like screen violence and everything like the shootouts and that are like incredible where it's like a guy who got shot like 30 times and do like multiple rolls backwards in the in the dirt like in slow motion yeah no uh the big one i need to see is um Extreme Prejudice with Nick Nolte and Powers Booth.

I've heard that's incredible.

If we ever do TriStar in the 80s, we'll talk about it.

Really, really good.

Leviathan, Rambo 3, Lionheart, Inner Space, Extreme Prejudice.

We've done a lot of these movies, and they're fantastic.

Some of the scores are fantastic.

He was so great at casting these bad guy characters.

They're all over films like Extreme Prejudice, Johnny Handsome, Silent Comfort, these interesting, tough guys.

Yes.

You know, William Forsythe or, you know, Peter Jason, the bartender at Torchy's.
