The guy eating lunch when they show up to pay the taxes after one of the BEST car chases ever. And in the "Almost an 80's Movie" category: I just finished watching an American Classic!

If you haven't seen the movie "BEAT STREET", then I highly recommend finding a copy! Club Dance Battle Beat Street Theme - Grandmaster Melle Mel Thanks for the tip. Beat Street has to be really deep, deep, 80's material. Rae Dawn Chong is one of the actresses in it and I'm a big fan of hers. She was in Commando, and another obscure but excellent movie from 1986, Soul Man. ID: 598456 ·

Best Seller (1987) Cop and writer Brian Dennehy is promised the "inside story" from hit man James Woods if he'll aid him in getting revenge against the corrupt civic leader who dispensed with his "services," but a sinister secret may kill their uneasy partnership before it's started. Intense thriller also stars Victoria Tennant, Paul Shenar. Trailer > Most 'Obviously' One of James Woods BEST imho . . . loved it - well written and cast / directed / DP'd . . . BOINC Wiki . . .

It's definitely one of the more believable entries on the Break Dance Band Wagon that Hollywood rode for a while. Much More gritty and real. Tonnes of early Hip Hop talent too: Melle Mel Doug E.

Very intense acting by James Woods in that one. Best Seller and Cop are my favorite James Woods movies. Woods was awesome in that one too. Brian Dennehy was perfect for the role he portayed as well. You don't often see experienced actors like Dennehy in roles like that today. ID: 599493 ·
