A truly awful movie. 

A View to a Kill aka James Bond 007 – Im Angesicht des Todes (1985)

Directed by John Glen. With Roger Moore, Christopher Walken, Tanya Roberts.

The pic with James Bond on the Golden Gate Bridge - how cool was that? This was one of the worst Bond movies though. What remains is an awesome soundtrack, a great C64 game and the video to Duran Durans title track.

Einer der schlechtesten Bondfilme. Das beste an "Im Angesicht des Todes" war der Soundtrack, das C64-Spiel zum Film und das Video zu Duran Durans Titeltrack.

Witness aka Der einzige Zeuge (1985)

Directed by Peter Weir. Starring Harrison Ford, Kelly McGillis, Lukas Haas.

Lukas Haas is Samuel, an amish boy who witnesses a murder in a lavatory. A cop named John Book (Harrison Ford) tries to protect Haas and his mother (Kelly McGillis) from the killer, a corrupt cop. Minor directors would have used this story to give us some cheap thrills. Peter Weir choses another path and takes much time for portraying the amish and the clash of cultures which happens when Book begins to live among them. A great movie.

Lukas Haas spielt Samuel, einen amischen Jungen, der auf einer Bahnhofstoilette Zeuge eines Mordes wird. Ein Polizist namens John Book (gespielt von Harrison Ford) versucht den Jungen und seine Mutter vor dem Mörder und seinen Helfern zu beschützen. Viele Regisseure hätten aus dieser Story einen einfachen Actionreißer gemacht. Peter Weir entschloss sich stattdessen dazu, einen eher ruhig erzählten aber dafür umso packenderen Film zu drehen. Es wird viel Zeit darauf verwendet, darzustellen, wie Book sich in die Gemeinschaft der Amischen integriert. Ein wirklich toller, in den letzten 25 Jahren etwas untergegangener Film.

Commando aka Phantom Kommando (1985)

US version

A german ad

Probably the best action movie ever made.
