DVD Reviews of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
DVD Review: He ain't a cowboy, he's more like a pretty boy
Summary: 3 Stars
"Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" was a buddy movie, with Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson, that is kind of an homage to -- or a parody of "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid." It is set in the not-too-distant but still improbable future; but the main difference is that while BC & the SDK was hugely popular, and a box office smash; HD & the MM was a huge flop, and deservedly so.
If you go into it expecting it to be bad, you won't be disappointed. Half the fun is just speculating how it all went so horribly awry. Was the naming of most of the characters after brand name products an attempt to be cute, or blatant product placement? Who do HD & the MM think they are?
Alexander: Judging from the data we gathered, they're dilettantes.
Watch for the least successful Baldwin brother, the one they don't like to talk about, Daniel Baldwin, as Alexander, enforcer for the bad guys. He and two others are all dressed in full length black leather bullet proof jackets that make them look like Catholic Priests of Death. As they advance slowly but relentlessly spewing bullets from their machine guns you have to wonder why they don't just shoot them in the head. And they do. But by that time, you are hoping that they'll shoot us all in the head, and be done with it.
Alexander: You boys are good... for dilettantes.
Though it tries to be like "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid," for instance, the scene when they are cornered and have to dive from a great height to escape, it is also like Patrick Swayze's "Road House." They are trying to save their friend's bar from the rich and corrupt. 'Butch' is a classic film, and 'R. House' is so bad it's good, but HD & the MM is just plain bad.
M-I-C this film only if it's a choice between watching it and being pounded on the forehead with a ball-peen hammer. K-E-Y because it's lame. R-O-U-R-K. E. Mickey Rourke! Donald Johnson. Mickey Rourke! Donald Johnson. Forever let us hold our expectations low, low, low, low...
Harley Davidson: It's better to be dead and cool, than alive and uncool.
I wouldn't be too sure of that, Mickey.
In 2003 Mickey Rourke was Edmund in Masked And Anonymous. This star-studded yet obscure film attracted major stars for the chance to be in a movie with Bob Dylan, who played an enigmatic singer known as Jake Fate. Rourke's Edmund was the dictator of what was left of America after war and civil turbulence left it looking more like a banana republic. He has a small but pivotal role. The film was either panned or praised depending on how the particular critic felt about Dylan.
Mickey Rourke was The Cook in another independent film from 2002 called Spun (Unrated Version). The Cook falls somewhere in between Harley Davidson and The Wrestler as a character. The Cook, like Harley Davidson, would NEVER have received an Oscar nomination. What did The Cook cook? Well, it certainly wasn't food.
Those were very Strange Days in 1995 when Kelly Hu was Anchor Woman; and Tom Sizemore was Max Peltier. In HD & the MM, Hu was Suzie and Sizemore was Chance Wilder.
In 1994 Chelsea Field was a Screen-Test Actress in a little film called I'll Do Anything. Makes you wonder how she was cast as Virginia Slim in HD & the MM. Not that she is a bad actress or anything. She is certainly not the worst.
Tia Carrere was Cassandra in 1992's Wayne's World. Look for her as Kimiko in HD & the MM.
In 1991 Kelly Hu (as Kelly Ann Hu) was Dorothy in Oliver Stone's movie about The Doors (Special Edition); with singer Jim Morrison played by Val Kilmer. Surrender, Dorothy. Hu was also in Strange Days, which is the title track of an album by The Doors. I'm not saying it's ironic -- just a little bit strange.
Oliver Stone cast Daniel Baldwin as Vet #1 in the Democratic Convention scene; and Tom Sizemore was a Vet in the Villa Dulce scene in Born on the Fourth of July. Daniel Baldwin considers himself the troublemaker of the Baldwin brothers, with numerous stints in rehab; and Sizemore has seen his share of trouble, too. HD & the MM was like a troublemakers reunion.
1987's Barfly featured Mickey Rourke as Henry Chinaski, a nom de plume for writer Charles Bukowski. Bukowski approved of Rourke's portrayal, though he opposed it at first. He thought that Mickey was too good looking, but when he saw how willing he was to "ugly up" for it, he changed his tune. Charles Bukowski even appeared in Barfly in a cameo role. Faye Dunnaway played Wanda, another barfly -- crazy but still quite a looker.
A Boy & His Dog was a quirky sci fi flick shot in 1975. It was kind of like a Mad Max movie, but instead of Mel you get Don Johnson as Vic, who carries on conversations with his much more intelligent dog telepathically.
The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart from 1970 was a counter culture romp where Don Johnson was Stanley Sweetheart. Out of print, or never came out on video, let alone DVD. You had to be there in 1970 to remember how it was, and if you were there in 1970, then you don't remember. Much of anything.
If you want to see Mickey Rourke a a detective in the Big Easy in a movie that got Lisa Bonet in trouble with Cos, check out Angel Heart. You'll have an epiphany.
Harley Davidson: Looks like you jumped on the wrong horse there cowboy! In case you didn't notice, you're the only cowboy in this place.
Big Indian: He ain't a cowboy, he's more like a pretty boy.
