I am almost as old and remembered him playing some martial arts in a forgetable film. Google to the rescue. With him on Eddie Cantor 1954, it is like a real life "Little Big Man" story.IRJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895189550621903578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-48380256608413669852022-02-27T05:15:53.707-05:002022-02-27T05:15:53.707-05:00In one of the "Destroyer" novels terrori... In one of the "Destroyer" novels terrorist plan a bike a few blocks from the (DC) Capitol building. <br /><br /> He sends Reno to stop it on the phone Remo says when he tells him it's a nuke just a few blocks from the Capitol,(It's a tiny nuke, small blast zone.) he says "Should I move it closer?" .<br /><br /> I laughed my ass off at that one. The original authors have a poor view of government.

The second half seems like something from a different movie. I agree that Joel Grey should have received an Oscar nomination. His performance is REMARKABLE. I like Fred Ward too, always did. He and Joel Grey make a fine duo. Too bad they had to have a second half to the movie. Ha. Better than 'Cabaret'? Yes, I think you may be right.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-64106511453461325342016-12-01T12:50:51.830-05:002016-12-01T12:50:51.830-05:00150 "Destroyer" novels?

That is amazing.<br /><br />This movie isn't normally my kind of thing, but I'm so intrigued by your description of Joel Grey's performance that I think I might have to track it down. I DID NOT recognize him from the image you posted. That Oscar nom was well deserved, from what I can tell.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-72820915889986869612016-11-30T22:40:51.496-05:002016-11-30T22:40:51.496-05:00Yes, it was a clunky title.
