A long email back-and-forth with a friend got me to thinking about Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 Rumblefish (the how is too complicated to get into), and I found myself mesmerized by this trailer, cut to Wall of Voodoo frontman Stan Ridgeway's "Don't Box Me In."I felt compelled to share because virtually every one of the stars is not only still working, but working in high profile projects: Think Mickey Rourke, Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Nicolas Cage, Diane Lane and more.
Leaving aside the fact that I think Rumblefish is one of the great films of the 1980s and I never miss an opportunity to proselytize (just this Christmas I converted two friends), it's amazing to see them all so young. Dillon and Cage were 18, Lane was 17, Fishburne was 21 and Rourke was the old man at 30.
It's a great film, and this is a great clip:
