613. Hangmen (1987)

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a black leather jacket, Death Row Records t-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He’s holding a peanut butter jar of Dr. Pepper*

W: Welcome to my lair….welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlocks flicks his wrist and fire shoots out before he walks inside*

W: Tonight at the Realm we have something a bit random. Legendary middleweight boxer Jake LaMotta was immortalized in the Robert Di Nero movie Raging Bull but the real Jake was in a few movies in his lifetime. One of which just happened to be the first full length film of a 23 year old Sandra Bullock back in 1987. What’s that movie you ask? The action adventure movie HANGMEN! So what’s this about? Rich Washburn and Keith Bogart figure out a certain CIA group is actually a bunch of terrorists and Washburn’s father played by Jake LaMotta tells them to go on the run. Who can you trust? Who the hell knows.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

W: This has absolutely nothing to do with Sandra Bullock but since she’s the most well known actor of the movie, she gets top billing on today’s dvd and streaming releases. Kind of like how Michelle Pfeiffer and Tony Danza get top billing on Hollywood Knights despite appearing in the film for all of 3 minutes. The good news is this movie clocks in at about 90 minutes long so if it sucks, at least its short. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for Hangmen.

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

W: “Rob Greene has information about an undercover terror team inside the CIA led by Joe Connelly. To stay alive with the knowledge, he is advised to stay undercover by his supervisor Andrews. Connelly’s men try to kill Greene, but he can escape and warns his son Danny that he also may be in danger.”

W: This may get complicated.
