The first movie I ever bought on DVD. 🤙🏽

Amazing 🙏 Kudos man .

Stella cast of actors. Great storyline and action. Perfect cinema for me.

I still have the DVD too. 🧡

And the best gunfight of all time in downtown LA. That one scene of Val Kilmer ripping 20 rounds at the officers down the street, spinning 180, and sending lead towards the ones trailing them. First saw it in the theatre and it was deafening.

That's it! You have talked me into watching it again this weekend.

Now, where's the popcorn 🍿? 😂
