    Such a fun, campy movie where you get to see Neeson ham it up. Also worth a watch is The Quick & the Dead (1995) with young Leonardo DiCaprio and a pre Gladiator Russell Crowe. Visually, both are shot very much like a comic, which certainly helped Raimi to eventually land the Spider-Man series.

    If anyone mentions Darkman to me, the first thing I have to say is, “Take the fucking elephant!” 😆

    I didn’t particularly like it at the time, but that might have just been it wasn’t what I expected - should do a raimi-a-thon at some point and revisit.

    I enjoyed it, my only real beef is the character origin is essentially the same as Swamp Thing… but whatever. It was fun!

    This was one of our favorite movies as kids, and my brother and I would always make jokes referencing it.

    “Take two of these and call me in the morning! Mwahahahahaha!”
