VHSホームビデオ: Bauman and Triskel April 8

Pile o' Crepe! Pile o' Crepe!

*Jaunty saxophone music.*

Hi, I'm Roger Triskel, movie critic for the Louisville Sun-Times...

...and I'm Susan Bauman, movie critic at the Louisville Dispatch.

This week, we're reviewing Dying Strike, secret agent John Spiral's...

...seventeenth outing. So what did you think of Dying Strike, Susan?

I enjoyed it, Roger. The behind-the-scenes drama hasn't shown on screen.

What did you think of Spiral's new actor, Pierce Daniels?

I thought he did a great job. He's no Shaun Moore, but who is?

The dialogue sparkled in a way it hasn't in these last few movies.

And I thought Spiral and the villain being brothers actually worked.

Well, I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Susan.

I found that, and many elements of the movie, totally absurd.

The cinema burst out laughing when they saw the exploding shoe.

That was supposed to be funny!

I don't think it was Susan.

The series has always been tongue-in-cheek, even back in the '60s.

We might be more cynical here in the '90s, but the movie won me over.

I wavered a little, but I'm going to have to give Dying Strike a no.

It's a very big yes from me.

There we have it. Join us next time for our review of Return of the Nightporter!
