Take away Coates and Busey with his amazing teeth, not much left, though. Fahey was indeed like a supporting character in what was supposed to be his film. He did very, very little. He even had some problems getting inside the darn facility, if I remember correctly! But that close-up of Busey's teeth... Now, THAT'S a way to start a movie!TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02361258547048668035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-13047148825909052532011-09-27T13:21:12.963-04:002011-09-27T13:21:12.963-04:00Don't forget Kim Coates Jack, he makes the mov...Don't forget Kim Coates Jack, he makes the movie. And that monologue was a trip. He's talking about his sixth grade teacher, he's smoking a cigar, and we're getting the teeth close up. It's funny Exploding Helicopter (I love referring to you as your blog name), you'd think Die Hard in a water treatment plant would be the Die Hard rip-off jumping the shark, and on some levels it is, but Busey and Coates really make this a pretty sweet deal.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-58116266422428412992011-09-27T12:36:07.111-04:002011-09-27T12:36:07.111-04:00THe weakest Die-Hard rip-off i've seen would b...THe weakest Die-Hard rip-off i've seen would be The Vault(which is Die Hard in museum), with MMA fighter Bas Rutten as the bad guy.venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632381738581803935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-38692228455661617032011-09-27T12:33:16.558-04:002011-09-27T12:33:16.558-04:00'Die Hard in a water treatment plant' is t...'Die Hard in a water treatment plant' is that the worst plot redux yet?<br /><br />But Busey and Coates what a pairing.Exploding Helicopterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045345937871417288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-37520198586021178812011-09-27T11:08:01.063-04:002011-09-27T11:08:01.063-04:00About the Busey opening monologue with the close-u...About the Busey opening monologue with the close-ups of his teeth: That was weird and funny at the same time!Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188012325610596179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-51201776327300107532011-09-27T09:50:51.611-04:002011-09-27T09:50:51.611-04:00Jeff Fahey in a Die Hard rip off with Gary Busey a...Jeff Fahey in a Die Hard rip off with Gary Busey as the bad guy...

That's another great thing about Coates, he's good in either a big part or a small cameo.
