What an incredible read and thought provoking analysis. Saw this when I was young. Watched it many times. Looking back on it through your writing was a revelation/eye opener. Great stuff. Your May theme is really engrossing on all offerings. Much enjoyed and much enlightened.
Thanks, J. I’m glad you enjoyed the article. There are enough cop movies from 1982-1992 to base a blog around and it’s been fun revisiting these. I can’t remember when I watched Year of the Dragon.
Hey Joe, as always, loved your analysis and background information… The movie itself left me kinda meh … I didn’t dislike it, but wasn’t as fun or as entertaining as let’s say Kurt Russell, in Big Trouble in Little China… Granted, that wasn’t a serious movie, but it’s still kind of why I go to the movies, to be entertained and suspend reality, etc.… Plus, after 9 1/2 weeks, Mickey Rourke has been a big disappointment… Tremendous potential but never saw him in anything really good after that… Anyway, great job thanks a lot! Always enjoy your stuff! Peace! CPZ
Mickey Rourke could've played any of the roles Bruce Willis did, particularly Butch in Pulp Fiction and even John McClane in Die Hard, and when Rourke decided to box professionally and messed up his face, Willis, who wasn't about to mess with his face, was waiting in the wings. The Pope of Greenwich Village is a high mark for me. I know some really like Angel Heart.

Wow, you’re absolutely right. I loved him in the pope of Greenwich Village and Angel Hart… Totally forgot about both of those movies! Thanks Joe!
