car chase research

If you have netflix view on demand videos, check out the car chase scene at 1 hour 8 minutes of Alien Nation (1988), it’s really cool and unusual and has some great cutting, but it’s hard to explain exactly how. I don’t normally like car chases, and alien nation is a cliche monster, but somehow this car chase scene beautifully violates all the normal rules. I wish somebody could explain to me the way it was conceived and shot, i personally think it turns the film into a forgotten landmark.

then instead of a shootout they just have an overdose scene. what a great film.

also meow. heart waterlove – love sickness, clam dinner.

joyous occasion.
