Dalton Detour: The Rocketeer (1991)
Hello dear listeners!
An actor we haven’t talked about very much on the show is Timothy Dalton. Believe us, it isn’t because we don’t like him, but he only did 2 Bond films. What’s more, we really want to savour Licence to Kill as much as possible (we’ve done TLD) so what could we do instead?...
Oh look! it’s a Dalton Detour!
I mean, oh look! It’s the Rocketeer!
Yes that’s right, this week the boys bring you the very first Dalton Detour with a look at the 1991 Joe Johnston directed action-adventure film, The Rocketeer. Lauded by the people that have seen it, the problem being that not many people have seen it! In fact the film was a bit of a dud back in the summer of ’91, which is quite disheartening considering the picture’s stellar qualities. There are so many things to talk about we had to bring in the International Man of Mystery himself Jason Kim just to cover it all.
We fly by as many topics as we can, among them the fact that Billy Campbell and Bruce Campbell should have been brothers, Jennifer Connelly coming out Onatop of things since to do very well career-wise, Dalton’s brilliant facial acting, that it doesn’t matter if the physics of your rocket pack don’t work as long as you look cool, judging men by their beauty, playing armchair quarterback with regards to film release dates, and The Matrix 2 (no, that one. The other one). And dammit when are we getting that Neville Sinclair Laughing Bandit film?!?
So get up, put your helmet on, strap on the jetpack and fly with us as we bask in the glory of this oft-forgotten early 90s jewel.
