Anything Goes

Anything Goes

I remember watching Temple of Doom when I was younger and loving the opening musical with Kate Capshaw. In this sequel/prequel, I loved the total departure the opening was compared to Raiders of the Lost Ark. They decided to do a big musical, which I thought was a big gamble.

Looking at this clip, it reminds me of the times when Lucas and Steven Spielberg were still good at their jobs.

Things to notice

-Watch as the Paramount Logo morphs into the gong. That was brilliant.

-Just as Kate Capshaw raises her hands the “Harrison Ford” appears above her hands. It makes it look like she is holding the title cards.

-The Indiana Jones title card is shown behind Capshaw and she even blocks some of the letters.

-I love how Capshaw sings in both Mandarin and English. Capshaw is good in the opening scene, but is annoying in the rest of the movie.

-The whole opening is pretty amazing.

Here’s a Flash Mob version of that song.

Riley Reid and Melissa Moore Almost Twins, but not

Riley Reid and Melissa Moore Almost Twins, but not I've been a huge fan of Riley Reid for a long time. She literally looks like one of those girls-next-door. She's so damn cute and tiny that you would likely see her working in the mall instead of doing hardcore porn. However, she is a pornstar.   I have NEVER wanted a doughnut more than now.  Damn.     I was checking out a video and noticed Riley in a video and I thought, “Did Riley Reid get a boob-job?” Please, tell me she didn't get one. That was her thing, being small framed. After taking a closer look, I realized the woman looking much like Riley Reid wasn't her at all, but another pornstar completely. Melissa Moore ... See, it is uncanny how much these two ladies look alike. Of course, these two girls had to do a movie together. I think MM is cute too, but I see her being a modified clone of my girl RR. And, I wouldn't kick her out of my bed either. Hell, I wouldn'...

Superfast! Johnson smells what your are cooking.

  I don't like this movie, but this character and all his scenes are freaking funny.  He sums up The Rock between 2005 and 2020.  Dewayne Johnson helped make the FF franchise better, but you have to make fun of him, too.  He comes in as if he's in another movie.   I love the baby oil on the arms joke.  It gets even creepier now due to P Diddy loving baby oil.   This guy is named  Dio Johnson !  He has the same last name as Dwayne Johnson, the person he is making fun of.  And, his character name in this movie is Detective Johnson.  Triple meta.   I checked, and Dio and Dwayne are not related.  They just look similar.

One crazy car chase...

Image
  So, this chase involves a cat, two methheads, a college student, a ride-along, and carjacking.  This is freaking nuts.  They live in their car, their home, and proceed to destroy it in the chase.  It looks like the driver has been in numerous car chases, the way he blocks and boxes out the cops to stop the pit maneuvers.    Later in the chase, they both start throwing shit out the window and then begin to smoke meth during the chase.  Priorities, right?  The couple of cops get spiked, and they end up in a different jurisdiction.  The chase is called off, but the couple then carjacks a Karen, and the chase is on again.   By the way, this video has over 4 million views.
