Hi, I have access to the original which I’ve never seen and decided instead to press play on the 80s remake. Gere hangs dong lol. The ending rules. There’s a part where Gere tries to get the girl to show him her toes and of course this is one of those Tarantino’s favourite movies.

I can not believe how manic Richard Gere is in this. I've never seen a comparable role from him. I had never seen his junk either, but that's Richie for you. To suggest that Tarantino liked this is to note that Denis Leary looked up to Bill Hicks (horrific secret confession: I prefer Denis Leary).

Painful to get through, but the fact that Quentin Tarantino has cited this as one of his favorites actually goes a long way toward explaining the bizarre misreading of Godard that forms the basis of his sensibility.

A lesser version of True Romance. Purely a guy movie that's probably a guilty pleasure for some but a lot of fun and does elicit a feeling out of you, which is more than you get out of most films. Richard Gere doesn't quite pull off what Christian Slater does in True Romance, though, and it takes you out of it in the beginning

Surprisingly decent remake of Godard's À bout de souffle (perhaps I would talk differently if I had seen the original). But what really caught me unprepared was Gere almost pulling off a cool, nihilistic rock'n'roller. Almost. The plot is a classic story about a couple on the run from the law. I never heard of Valérie Kaprisky before, but she's quite good as a chick with french accent who gets naked a lot. Stylish cinematography.
