Note: In memory of recently deceased filmmaker Tony Scott, I'm joined by Witney as we pay tribute to the director's body of work and this film in particular. We talk about the film's humble beginnings, cinema violence in the early 1990s' and Scott's influence on how stories are told through motion pictures today. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the movie on your DVD.
