Firefox (1982)
Posted by Scott
Firefox was a 1983 film starring and directed by Clint Eastwood in which the protagonist must steal some sort of fictional Soviet “ultimate killing machine”, which from the looks of it and the “specs” is loosely modelled on the SR-71. I must confess I haven’t watched it, and after viewing the trailer I have no desire to do so. But I did find a lot of great stills from the film along with some promotional imagery. Love the suit.

April 16, 2013 at 12:55 amIt says 1982 in the title and 1983 in the content ;-) Anyways, I definitely want to watch it – especially if the OST is totally 80’s style.

April 17, 2013 at 10:47 amPretty sure this is on Netflix if you that. I got about halfway thru once, havent made it back to finish it, but I remember it being fairly good. i TOTALLY want that arcade game that you sit in.

April 18, 2013 at 8:15 pmso after watching the preview I can deduce two things. One, this would make probably one of the best MST3K episodes ever, and two, that this video for some odd reason references me the what seems to be endless footage of airplanes crashing on YOUTUBE. coincidence? I think not.

It’s not at all simplistic to simply be giving freely secrets the others might have been trying to sell. And we all know we have the blog owner to thank for that. All of the explanations you made, the simple web site menu, the relationships you can give support to promote it’s mostly astounding, and it’s really letting our son in addition to our family consider that that theme is enjoyable, and that’s very vital. Thank you for the whole lot!
