ORIGINAL: GreedyTop *haz a sad cause nobody has commented on my post with Clockwork Orange* c'mon... it was vicious! Oh Greedy! Sorry! I haven't been paying as much attention to my now proud and tumescent thread as I should have been. I looked at the clip and, yes, it was pretty damned good, especially considering the era in which it was made. Fights weren't generally much cop back then (some notable exceptions aside - like the Bruce Lee films and my one from Bad Day at Black Rock - which everyone ignored, as well). I found that Clockwork Orange an awfully disturbing film (and book), btw. It was all too easy to imagine a generation of young hoodlums getting their orange jumpsuits and bowler hats together to go out bashing people. And that was only one of the reasons . . . it was a pretty nasty dystopian vision altogether. It's already baked - see "Tipping the Lion", late Eighteenth century. After my last post, I watched the fight between Arnie Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone in Total Recall - not nearly long enough. The love scene between Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange in The Postman Always Rings Twice was the better "fight", lol.
