The theme for these movies initially was that in Mac and Me people are moving to L.A. and in Escape From L.A. people are doing the titular action. But the more I think about it, Mac is trying to escape L.A. too so he can find his naked family and go back to their naked planet.
Mac and Me currently has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes but the New York Times does say it has "residual charm". Enjoy this movie's charm residue people. Apparently Jennifer Aniston is an uncredited extra so we'll have to look out for that. Nikki Cox is an uncredited dancer. Let's ignore that. This will be George "Buck" Flower's fourth movie at BMN. One more and we start counting. Maybe with whatever this is:
Mac and Me lost out to Cocktail in the 1988 Razzies but it did win worst director.
Stewart Raffill would land on his feet, however, with Mannequin: On the Move and Tammy and the T-Rex.
Here's the entire movie.
Escape From L.A. is the sequel to Escape From New York, which we watched for Impending Remake Night. Looks like they're still talking about remaking EFNY but the Fright Night remake was in theaters a couple of weeks ago. I heard it was good! A remake of EFNY couldn't manage the all-star cast of EFLA: Kurt Russell, Steve Buscemi, Peter Fonda, Cliff Robertson, Stacy Keach, Pam Grier, Bruce Campbell, Breckin Meyer and Paul Bartel.
That makes this the sixth appearance by Paul Bartel:
And Bruce Campbell only needs one more to be in the 5 timers club. Unless his uncredited dubbing in The Dead Next Door counts.
Does it?
Here's what happened last week:
