I’ve been wracking my brain while reading this, and I honestly don’t think I’ve seen either of these (other than clips that might’ve been in the “Blaze of Glory” video).
I loved these movies as a kid. Watched them again later in college with my buddies and laughed more than we should have. Dirty Steve became a meme before memes were a thing. Estevez as Billy was threat level zero. Doc was way more fun as Jack Bauer or David in Lost Boys. It was all too laughable to take them seriously.
This does make me want to rewatch it with a more discerning eye. Maybe they were simply a product of their time. Never intended to be anything more than modern popcorn Westerns. They were never in the same league as classic Westerns my father watched, Ford, Leone or Dances with Wolves or Unforgiven were shortly. Genre was all they had in common. It was pure late 80s entertainment. Maybe that’s how adults saw them when they came out.
We love ŧhe movies that define an era in our lives.
My MIL, who was Sicilian, worked for the mafia's "legal" business. We got expensive baby gifts from the "family" when our son was born. Godfather 1 &2 will forever be my favorites.
Seeing them again is like settling back into the life I had and who I knew.

Sometimes I feel like we grew up in entirely different eras 🤣

"Yeah, he’s quick with the steel, but he also a chaotic cyclone of sociopathic energy."
In real life, he killed a double digit number of men before he himself was killed. That is the mark of a true sociopath.
Today he would just be an employee of the president.
