okies......so anyone seen this?? what did you think? i know it's been around FOevah but i just saw this FINE film today (eventhough Gene Hackman is one of my fav actors) and i thought it was so good. he was such a brutal cop, and the CHASE scene (which i believe is one of the BEST in filmdom) was soooooo edge of my seat! damn......good stuff! |

ronin is crap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
he was also in a western with leonardo dicaprio called the quick and the dead. at the same time that in all reality it sucks, i kinda liked it. |

Yeah French COnnection is a classic =) Gene Hackman's performance is mindblowing. I like the funky clothes in those movies too hehe! |
||||||||
|
|

*imagines sido in a hat like hackman's* hahah that hat was classic, and the clothes were mega 70's......ahhahahah i've seen Ronin.....i liked it as well. i could tell it had some inspriation from this film......especially those cool chase scenes......i think i secretly wanna drive a car around the city streets like that!!! ok....so is it just me or when you see 'orange barrells' on the city streets....you have this overwhelming urge to drive in and out of them like an obstical course? heheheheh |

are you serious about ronin? :) i thought it was just horrible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
french connection is much better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
d00d it had deniro......AND reno......i love those d00ds........it was a poor man's french connection =0) i have pictures of some of those places in the movie.....it was kinda cool seeing it that way =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Frankenheimer did French Connection II, so that link to Ronin is easily laid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i know, what were de niro and reno doing in that film!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ronin was almost like a parody to fwench connection |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
d00d did you see the sequel......i dunno if i was gonna bother. i found the ending quite unsatisfying =/ hahah T......it's all about the $$$$$ MOOOlah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's why you think Ronin is a poor man's French connection. I can't really say anything about the French connection II, it's been too long since I have seen it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its basically the same to connection 1 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh fucking great. it has also been referenced in tons of other films. that alone should make it required watching for "movie buffs." ronin has some amazing car chase scenes. thats the only reason i bought it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only difference is that hackman has less hair and he's getting high quite a lot... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've seen the Ronin DVD for like 6 bucks......so it's worth buying just for the pretty scenery.....hahahah but yea.....i feel kinda bad i waited so long to see it, i do watch a fair amount of movies! tolstoyed you've seen frenchy II, should i rent it....does it tie up loose ends? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
if you enjoyed the 1st part you might like the 2nd one as well-but it really isnt some great movie so if you get a chance to see it for easy money...i saw it quite some time ago (i think i have it on VHS somwhere),im not sure about those loose ends-i think it wasnt all that connected to the first part |

great film. just the way they turn Hackman into a drooling junkie is great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks......i think i'll prolly rent it (can get it for a dollar at the video store) anything with hackman is worth a run through! btw......i loved Rami's the Quick and the DEAD......it was meant to be campy......and Sharon Stone is so beautiful and kicked ASS.......plus i didn't mind watchin' Russell Crowe there.....=0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
