Could a film this even be made in current year? What would audiences and critics make of it? I can't imagine a zoomer even being able to sit through the first 15 minutes.

Netflix released a remake of the film this is a loose remake of. It looked like dogshit.
> I can't imagine a zoomer even being able to sit through the first 15 minutes.
Apparently even in 1977 that threw off audiences. A lot were confused and weren't sure they were watching the right movie.
>I can't imagine a zoomer even being able to sit through the first 15 minutes.
Seems like a win/win situation for a patrician theater attendee. Imagine watching kino and a quarter-hour in all the self-filtered morons get up and frick off somewhere else. What a blessing that would be.

Well it flopped hard when it came out.
My dick flops in your mother's c**t.
A lot of classic movies flopped when they came out, but they made their money back through home media.
Streaming ended this.
It released the same week as Star Wars, any film would fail with that release window.
Critics also didn't like it at the time.
No, it's funny because Sorcerer actually came out a month later. And it flopped because moronic boomers were STILL söying over their space capeshit
what would have been a better title for the film?
Barbarian Swordmaster
Here Comes the Boom
Warlock
Wizard
Dynamite Truck: Criminal Drivers
Duck! You sucker
Lazaro
>but there was no lazarus in the movie...
>IT WAS ONE OF THE TRUCKS!!!
The Exorcist II
The Payoff
>The Payoff
Good title. I read somewhere that the working title was "Ballbreaker". "Wages of Fear" sounds too homosexual and "Sorcerer" just confused audiences.
Holocaust of the Lost
Shameless self bump because the world "holocaust" was regularly used, not referencing WW2, in film titles and even dialogue until the 90s. Cary Elwes says "holocaust cloak" in the highly israeli Princess Bride (1987)
Jungle Truck Force
should have just left it Wages of Fear tbqh
They did end up calling it Wages of Fear in Europe and some other regions, because it bombed so hard in the US, they also cut out the opening international scenes and the downbeat ending in the Euro version.
the vignettes and the ending are great though, literally just the title was terrible. Victor's story in paris is one of the best sequences of the film
I agree, it sounds like it was an absolute fiasco
No man is just anything.
;_;
When his mind wandered from the job, fate appeared.
>the downbeat ending in the Euro version.
The bit where the mafia catches up with Roy Scheider? So Roy's alive in the euroending?
I think so, perhaps they just cut out the gunshot, or maybe the whole end bar scene
But the dance scene is so perfect
>gunshot
There's no gunshot sound in the ending.
Salary of Terror
Big Trucks With DY-NO-MITE!
Direct-Deposit of Doom
Man’s Inferno.
I did a whole thread on this flick a week or so back. It's quite good and not that badly dated despite being from 1977.

Indeed, it was literally a remake but this was the hippy-dippy pretentious 70s.
this is one of millennial Cinemaphile's favorite films

it's not very good to begin with
the suspense in Wages of Fear is a million times that of Sorcerer
Sorcerer has no character development like WoF, so you don't care what happens to them
WoF has like 50 minutes of set up before they go on the dynamite haul
wages of fear sucks. The ending sucks, the characters suck. The scene where they can't slow down is good though.
Sounds like you didn't actually watch Sorcerer.
>Sorcerer has no character development like WoF, so you don't care what happens to them
Ludicrous. Half the movie is dedicated to this.
>WoF has like 50 minutes of set up
As above, it's even longer in Sorcerer before the dynamite run starts.
>Sorcerer has no character development
did you mentally block out the first half of the film?
This film is more beautiful than tarkovsky to me. It's more technologically advanced and almost as aesthetically pure.
it's the Intolerance to exorcist's Birth of a Nation
The bridge scene is peak gritty 70s "looks like it would be illegal to shoot this today" cinema
That car tire was a better actor than all the people from MCUslop combined.
so what the frick was he even doing in Porvenir?
he had to be a professional hitman with those killing skills, so to get exiled with no money he must have killed his own boss or someone way up the chain of command. I'm not sure why he was so desperate to escape though, just buy a ticket to managua in the first place.
He was a nazi hunter. That’s why the Palestinian guy calls him a israelite dog after he kills the original driver.
everything that guy doesn't like is a israelite.
it's nice to have Cinemaphile represented in an older movie
then why not kill the other nazis in the village, there was for sure one since the bartender was an ss officer, and it seems likely there were others.
to tie this in, he killed "marquez" so he could get the job, but why was he so desperate for the cash, even if low on funds he still had enough to bribe his way in and rent the house, so why not just use that money had before to get to less of a shithole
Did he even want the job though? I thought they forced him to go with them after he killed “Marquez”. He didn’t seem eager.
he was pissed he didn't get it, it's not that they forced him to, the owner stopped Kassem from killing him and didn't have him arrested because he was the only other competent driver in the village. Nilo killed marquez for that very reason so he could take his spot otherwise why hang around after killing marquez, why not just slit his throat and leave?
The guy specifically calls him a zionist, very based and shows where culture were at.
>so what the frick was he even doing in Porvenir?
It's never explained.
probably something with the dude he shot at the beginning.
I liked the part at the start where they blew up the Iraelis 🙂
>I can't imagine a zoomer even being able to sit through the first 15 minutes
The 20 first minutes introducing the characters was kino of the highest order.
The soundtrack by Tangerine Dream was better than the actual movie!
I love the music that plays when they're fixing up the trucks

Don't worry, we have the Netflix adaptation for that.

What the frick
OK, I'm torrenting it now - you frickers have hyped this gritty 70's flick enough. Plus I liked Roy in Blue Thunder and Jaws.
Buckle up, you're in for kino
why is this stupid website all of a sudden showing a lot of respect for this movie. I remember a decade ago no one even knew this movie on the internet or outside of it, which was when I first saw it. Isn't this board full of contrarians who would hate this kind of movie? Usually films from the 70s are hated here for being too hipster. Don't you all prefer the 80s mindless action films because they are "bazed"? What changed?
Also my contribution to a previous thread
>https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/198690551/#q198696913
Friedkin has always been well respected on Cinemaphile, both because he's genuinely a great director and because he terrorizes his actors (thus based). Sorcerer has been popular on here ever since it got a proper Blu Ray release.
>all of a sudden
didn't realize several years ago counts as all of a sudden
On this website? Yes it is recent.
not even remotely, I first watched this because of constant threads on here praising it and that was back in 2017 or 2018. You're just oblivious
friedkin board gay
the film has been talked about for years, redditor. go back to your cucktown and letterbox threads, homosexual. fricking tourist
>contrarian
anyone that uses this word to describe Cinemaphile is an irredeemable homosexual, total newbie
>anyone that uses this word
anyone who uses the word is an idiot period. It is a meaningless contrived concept for lazy idiots who can't handle differing opinions.
there is a set of people who have convinced themselves that if they dislike what "everyone else" likes that they are intellectuals. if you said you thought tangerine dream made great soundtracks they'd counter with hans Zimmer. if you said Hans Zimmer was great they'd counter with praise for tangerine dream. they likely haven't thought much about either.
maybe there are some, but it's doubtful there are enough people who do that often enough to warrant making up a word/category to describe them. At this point, the word is used more often as a defense of something that's popular when someone can't make an actual argument in defense of popular thing. The term should be stricken from an intelligent person's vocabulary, and ideally, stricken from English itself.
True fact Hans Zimmer owns ex-Tangerine Dream member Chris Franke's Moog modular system
I don't have any active accounts on either of those websites so try harder dumbfrick. And ironically, this movie was probably appreciated on reddit earlier compared to Cinemaphile. Also, there's ample evidence that the opinions of this site are in fact contrarian, but in a roundabout way. I just know losers like you are always waiting to claim some obscure media before it's becomes mainstream because it makes you a "zazed homosexual". Take a hike frickface.
>I don't have any active accounts
A-ha! So you have inactive accounts! You've been found out.
Oh no no no no no whatever shall I do with my life now I use other websites on the internet the low IQ homosexuals on 4chin are going to track me down oh no no no no no my life is oooveeer4iiixjskKns
fooling no one, dumb homosexual. stop talking you stupid b***h
go back homosexualron
Literally the first decent rec I ever got from Cinemaphile after Barry Lyndon. I've been here for what feels like decades.
Because I watched it last week and started a thread about it.
https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/198498027/#198498027
I missed this thread then. Some threads don't show up on my phone, and yes I use a phone for 4chin.
Why doesn't Straight Time get the same reverence and second looks like Sorcerer does?
It was the best film of 1978
I guess you queers have to wait for your favorite podcast to talk about it first.
It's not similar at all and many films did the same plot better.
Great movie, maybe Dustin Hoffman's best.
More than Dog's Day or Straw Dogs?
Maybe not the best overall movie but Hoffman gives the best performance from all I can think of.
That was Pacino in Dog Day
The spectacle of it just isn’t as grand. It’s great as well, but it doesn’t have the color, soundtrack or the intensity of Sorcerer.
I saw this one a long time ago, and I don't remember a thing about it. Off the top of my head I remember the directors name was something strange like ulu grossbard. First of all even for cult obscure films to be noticed, it atleast needs to be in the catalog of a major studio. If it's too obscure to even have any pirated versions out there, then nobody is gonna "rediscover" it. Next of all, sorcerer is just more entertaining. Straight time was well made but it's too offbeat and the action in the film is underplayed, like there's no sensationalization for the regular audience. Plus I think a lot of crime dramas from the 80s and 90s completely obscured it, because they just had more box office appeal; cool factor. Plus I think friedkin has more pull in the industry, he was married to a studio head after all. Straight time was made by a small time actors' collective studio and mostly no one involved in the film has any pull to re-release it on blu-ray or get it remastered.
RIP Emmet Walsh

You forgot Cruising
The original is better
NTA but this one gave me a sort of "purgatory" vibe, it was more transcendent, don't want to sound pretentious but I felt it more.
Wrong answer.
Boomer meme movie where a shitty car drives over a bridge
Probably the greatest film ever made if we consider all angles from technology to direction to cast, and the fact that movies are now over.
I wish there were more modern films with this trope: a group of morally ambiguous men in a desperate situation, trying to survive and stay rational, with no women to unnecessarily dramatize the situation or pit them against each other. The stakes are clear and it's obvious they won't all make it, so they're virtually forced to work together despite their differences. Are there any modern films that pull off this kind of narrative as well as Sorcerer did? Probably not, since the trope requires the characters to succeed through their masculinity and stoicism, not in spite of it.
Embrace of the Serpent
>as well as Sorcerer did
uhh... no.
Apollo 13 still feels like a modern film. Very brutal mogging of recent space sci-fis
Should have been called "Snore-ceror"

The absolute fricking state of Cinemaphile
I agree, French Connection is one of my favorites and TLADILA was just shittier in every way, cheesy as hell and the lead actor had no charisma with his partner, making the end so out of left field. Made for TV tier shit, including the partner literally killed a day before retirement.

Exorcist and French Connection are the only ones that can match this Kino
