"Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man" is a very super movie about 2 friends trying to help a friend not to lose his bar.This movie wasn't given enough credit.The stars of the film help make the movie great,a real great story,and lots of action too.
Harley Davidson,played superbly by Mickey Rourke(Body Heat,9 1/2 Weeks and Year Of The Dragon,and the Marlboro Man,who's real name is Robert Anderson,played by the great Don Johnson(Miami Vice and Nash Bridges),are 2 friends who are trying to save a friends bar from being taken away from him by the bank,Mr Jiles,played by Julius Harris(Darkman,My Chauffeur,and Going Berserk),Jimmy Jiles,played by Giancarlo Esposito(Taps,Maximum Overdrive,and Homicide:Life On The Streets),they need 2 1/2 million dollars to re-lease the bar.The late Big John Stud(WWF) is the son-in-law,Jack Daniels,and Lulu,played by former Miss America Vanessa Williams,is also part of their family.Virginia Slim,played by the beautiful Chelsea Field(The Last Boy Scout,The Birds II:Land's End,and Skin Deep),is the former girlfriend of the Marlboro Man who he goes to see,but tells him she is getting married.
Harley makes a plan to rob the bank that is strong arming the Jiles family,they go ahead with the plan,but are in way over their head's,they find the truck is full of a designer drug called "Crystal Dream".Things get worse for Harley and Marlboro as they deal with the drug dealer,Chance Wilder,played by Tom Sizemore(Natural Born Killers,Saving Private Ryan,and True Romance),is the bank president who is running the drugs.Alexander,played by Daniel Baldwin(Knight Moves,Vampires,and Homicide:Life On The Street)is the leader of the goons in a bullet proof jackets,kill Jimmy Jiles,his dad and Jack Daniels,Harley And The Marlboro Man get away,but want to make things right.
The showdown at the airplane graveyard is a great scene,Harley Davidson,who can't shoot a gun great,does make his shot,,literally,and when they deal with Chance Wilder.
This movie really rocks,the heroes in the movie are what I consider true Americans,they haven't sold out to corporate B.S. and they live their days by their own rules,and live their days one day at a time.
The supporting cast include Kelly Hu as the gas station clerk,Tia Carrere(Wayne's World 1 and 2),Branscombe Richmond(The Kentucky Fried Movie,Star Trek III,and the TV series "Renegade)as the Indian in the bar that the Marlboro Man fights,Eloy Casados(Born in East L.A.,The Best Of Times,and Hollywood Homicide)as Jose,who is a deaf-mute and a friend of the Jiles family and Harley and Marlboro.
I give this film 2 thumbs up and 10/10 stars.
