Very entertaining… and yes, I’ll file in with the folks that lament the fact that Zabka didn’t have enough good guy roles. But my fave of his roles was in JUST ONE OF THE GUYS. (as if it was different than all the others…lol.)

Great song, btw.

No, Sensei!

Bill Zabka had a one-shot as the extorsionist boyfriend on “Gimme A Break” once. He was Sam’s boyfriend and he was trying to get hundreds of dollars out of her so “they could be together.” Heh.

Nell gave Johnny a piece of her mind. The 80′s.

I’ll take dead careers and hanging onto the past for $200, Alex.

(The police post was for $100 – last week! :) ).

Great song though. I actually enjoyed that. Probably cuz it brings back the best decade EVER – the 80’s.

Sounds like Double Jeopardy.

Ah, Martin Kove and Billy Zabka, the ultimate in B Movie entertainment!

If you’re an 80′s nut and a fan of cheeseball movies, that was truly a stirring tribute to a much underappreciated film. Best video I’ve seen in years. Made my day. Cheers.

That looks like a 78 Firebird next to the trailer and a 71 Impala convertible at the end….the maroon car in front of the apt building is a camero.

And I did notice Mr. Belding..although he has put on some weight.

Anyone else notice Mr. Belding? Or am I too young for this group?

Counter-nitpick

The red ‘firebird’ at the end of the shot looked like a Camaro, circa 1984 (15″ wheels); The IROC varient didn’t come out until next year. There is a Firebird in the clip, but it’s parked next to the trailer/caravan and looked like a ’78 version anyway.

..Hang on, the ‘alpha male’ is the bum who sits on his arse watching Karate Kid every day for 20 years?

Song wasn’t too bad either; dangerously close to being ‘corporate rock’ at points, and the guitar ‘solo’ was novel, although that’s probably due to it being overly processed than anything else. I’d like to be proven wrong by seeing it live, though.

Minus several billion points, however for the content-delivery system forcing me to redownload the entire video each time I want to watch it, regardless of whether I’ve even closed the browser or not. I thought those awful days of Realplayer and ‘streaming media’ were past us..

Thankyou Spassvogel, I was trying to remember the one role, that I remember, where he played a good guy. He was either the Equalizers’ son or nephew. My money is on son.

nitpick

As much as I loved the firebird (back then).

The red firebird should have been an IROC if I remember my sports car wannabees back in the 80′s.

The body bad line was awesome… It’s funny how some scenes and even little throw-away lines like that are so memorable.
