often during my former band's informal "practices" we would put on this movie and mute the volume and try to score it.

this is a movie from my childhood that still resonates despite some very obvious flaws but i have a soft spot for snake pliskin and his adventure into the new york prison.

You're really old! ;P

To my shame, I haven't seen this. Does it have the same appeal as "Big Trouble In Little China"? Is there a snazzy DVD release?

Your propensity for dispensing random facts was matched only by my late grandfather. Do you often deliver random Shakespeare soliloquies only to be waylaid by a hysterical bout of asthmatic coughing?

yes! but only if you swap out shakespeare with malkmus.

There once was an empire chase
Known as a great, great game
And one of its rooks came from Stoke - on - Trent
And Mortimer was his name
An impotent tea - bag spazz
Pride of the vicar caste
Sent off to Asia
Expansion land
Determined to be a man
Determined to be a man
Determined to be a man
Determined to be a man
Determined to be a man
He loved a nice sag aloo
The long, lazy afternoons
But soon he was singing
A different tune
It went something just like this

A billion flies on a horse's tail
The spirit of a late, lame raj
Punjabi's finest, bring me your wine list
As the news comes across the air today:
"Tension grows in Afghanistan
Carbine bullets could settle the score" -
I had a crap gin tonic it wounded me
Send my way off on one
Send my way off on one, two, three, four
