Mr. Wynorski's line is funny, but I'm with Eric - Mr. Santiago's films were always a tonic for an action junkie looking for a cinematic hit - plenty of action and stunts - and never too taxing on the brainpan. I will be waiting with breathless anticipation for more Cirio Santiago stories, Ms. G!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-36526348633663960042013-04-22T11:15:51.450-07:002013-04-22T11:15:51.450-07:00Thanks for your appreciative comment, Eric.

You could always tell the actors were sweating like crazy and exhausted, but having fun as always. Cirio's trademark dolly camera shots are missed greatly. His 'Nam War movies are very underrated and deserve a second look.ericspudichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088554631010428499noreply@blogger.com
