second watch, liked it more this time
I watched part of this on VHS back in the day but quit. Watched it on The Last Drive-In to hear Joe Bob Briggs tips on making the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
Finally, I got to watch this after years of being told to by family and friends. Certainly lived up the hype.
I remember first watching this as a little kid in the 80s and instantly loved it. It's so over the top and brutal. I've seen them all growing up and always wished to do a film like this.
