Gunn (1967)



I finally managed to see this film. 6 years after the original series ended, Blake Edwards brings his small screen private eye to the big screen. Reprising the title role of the impossibly suave is the equaly impossibly suave Craig Stevens. Sadly, Stevens isn't joined by his original co stars, with the roles of Eddie, Lt Jacoby and Mother being recast. And the tone just couldn't decide whether it wanted to remain faithful to the series, or to go down the Point Blank route. As an example of the latter, Gunn's fight with the transvestite just felt add odds with the series' tone.

And my Maximum Van Dammage season continues with his latest film:


Assassination Games (2011)



Despite looking every bit his 51 years, it's good to see (in a world where those Twilight kids are invading action films), Van Damme can still kick behind. Easily one of my favourite Van Damme films.

Maximum Van Dammage Season Ranking:
1. Nowhere To Run (1993)
2. Hard Target (1993)
3. Sudden Death (1995)
4. Assassination Games (2011)
5. Maximum Risk (1996)
6. Universal Soldier (1992)
7. Double Team (1997)
