Kentucky Fried Movie

Tiger Feet – Does anyone remember this comedy. It was an 18 cert or X in those days and I think double billed with Carrie or something similar. Those days there used to be double features. Anyway this film had lots of differnet clips some very funny indeed. JT – Remember it well, although wasn’t it early 80’s – anyhow, particularly like the Bruce Lee take off – this is not a shawaade, and the guy in a jumpsuit and helmet who goes into harlem amongst a group of locals and shouts a certain word and runs off. Cracking stuff

Rocky

Rennie – Anyone seen the new Rocky movie? Apparently it’s pretty entertaining, they were all so cheesy especially the Dolf one but the fight scenes always used to make me laugh. Glittergal – Loved the new Rocky film. Loved all the Rocky films. I’m a bit partial to Sylvester Stallone

Taxi Driver

Imp – Martin Scorsese made a masterpiece with this. Robert De Niro as Travis and Jodie Foster as Iris were unbelievable. Was a film I watched over and over couldn’t get enough of it. One interesting point though did you know that Scorsese appeared in it too – ha ha – so who did he play? Rennie – I have never seen all of it, started watching it once and had to go out. Will have to get the DVD and watch it properly. Imp – Its still good even now 30 odd years later, gives you kind of a …

The Deep

Karen – Anyone remember …Peter Benchley’s movie The Deep? Keep it clean…..I mean the underwater movie with Jacqui Bisset and Nick Nolte. Really got me into scuba diving in a big way. Rennie – Yes I have it on video and DVD. I love the Donna Summer Track too… The opening sequences with the music and underwater were superb. I watch it on a regular basis. Was it a real Rheinhardt? Tanktop – I remember the series Marine Boy and now we got Aqua Ren. I liked Jacqueline Bisset in the 70s gosh she was a sexy piece. Rennie – …

Jaws

Tim – was quite scary but i wasnt really frightened? how about you? Aelf – Did have some jumpy bits but the funniest bit was Richard Dreyfuss trying to imitate Robert Shaw (Quint) squashing his empty can by squishing his paper cup. Mark UK – I liked the two guys fishing with the sunday joint. After he nearly gets eaten by Jaws his plaintive cry always makes me smile *Can we go home now?* Rennie – This film has great memories as you will see if you go to the stories page. Suze – I remember the opening sequence as …

I started building Escape in 2005 and in it’s early form I had the pleasure of a great 70s community. Sadly with Escape’s new design we couldn’t incorporate the old threads into the new forum but so we don’t lose all those magical old chats we’ve collected them all here for you to go back and read.
