Best Harry Dean Stanton role: "Straight Time" w/ Dustin Hoffman. That is a good film mostly cause Tough Guy Dustin shoots Getaway Driver Screw Up Gary Busey...
Johnny Sax gets two prehensile thumbs up. Spiritually inspiring.

Just tuned in. Has Rex mention Harry Dean's turn in "Repo Man"? In it he formed a tender bond with novice auto repossesser, Emilio Estevez. A real tearjerker and worth a spin.
I saw a scene from "The Line-Up" recently and the first thing I see is a 38 Geary bus. It doesn't get any more SF authentic than that. Runs from deep in the Financial Dist to Ocean Beach. The only other lines with as much Creed are the 22, 15 3rd, or the 30 Stockton which has a starring role in the Great Great SF Police Drama "The Laughing Policeman" starring Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern. Drop everything and see that film.
I can't even imagine the tale they'll tell in The Rats Revenge (Pt. 2)!

First gig at a backyard party. Cops show up, and then there are these guys walking around with hard hats on. I ask 'em "Who are you guys?". The answer ... Civil Defense.
