The big news today is coming from Tokyograph (read here) who inform us that Takashi Miike’s Crows Zero will be getting a sequel. Apparently this will tie everything up with a nice resounding ending. Expect it to come out sometime in 2009.

Jules: This was Divine Intervention! You know what “divine intervention” is?
Vincent: Yeah, I think so. That means God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.
Jules: Yeah, man, that’s what it means. That’s exactly what it means! God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.
Vincent: I think we should be going now.
Jules: Don’t do that! Don’t you f*cking do that! Don’t blow this sh*t off! What just happened was a f*cking miracle!
Vincent: Chill the f*ck out, Jules, this sh*t happens.
Jules: Wrong! Wrong, this sh*t doesn’t just happen.
Vincent: Do you wanna continue this theological discussion in the car, or at the jailhouse with the cops?
Jules: We should be f*ckin’ dead now, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to f*cking acknowledge it!
Vincent: Okay man, it was a miracle, can we leave now?

From Left to Right:
Karen Black, Robert Ryan, Joe Don Baker and Robert Duvall in John Flynn’s (Rolling Thunder), The Outfit.

In Point Blank we had Lee Marvin play the character of Parker based in Donald E. Westlake’s Parker series under the pseudonym Richard Stark (more info). In John Flynn’s, The Outfit Robert Duvall takes over the character of Parker in one of cinemas underrated crime classics.

Seemed surprising that I had not posted any images from this film at this site. Here now we have the inaugural first image I’m posting here from George Miller’s Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in the form of this rare Japanese poster artwork for it. This is easily one of my favorite all time films and posters!

I’ve been trying to track down the Japanese poster for quite some time now and it wasn’t until the last several months that I was finally able to.
