Firepower

Wow, Sophia Loren and James Coburn! And... O.J Simpson? Well, two out of three good ones ain't bad. Clipped from the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel in 1979.

Now that I think about it, the tagline "When crime and passion mix" is ironic considering who's in it... funny how much foreshadowing there is in reality when we go back and look for it. For example, there are examples in TV and print too numerous to mention that put planes headed toward the WTC in the picture or scenario, way before 9/11.

  1. wow, i never even heard of this one! James Coburn AND Sophia Loren?
    i wonder if O.J.'s presence is keeping it from a Dvd release? you can get a used Vhs copy from Amazon for $1.90!

  2. It actually got some favorable reviews online... but looked as if they were made before the O.J. soured.

    Naked Gun 2 still came out on DVD despite the J being in it, but this one is pretty obscure and no-one seems in an great hurry to remember it. James Coburn is so cool, I love him in the Flint films!
