538.0. "Wilder Napalm" by 29052::WSA038::SATTERFIELD (Close enough for jazz.) Mon May 02 1994 19:27


I just rented the disc this weekend. A terrificly enjoyable film starring
Dennis Quaid, Debra Winger, and ?. Quaid and ? are brothers with pyrotechnic
abilities. They were both in love with Winger but she married ?. The brothers
parted acrimoniously (Quaid burned his brother bald at his bachelor party)
and haven't seen each other for four years. Then the circus sets up in the
shopping center parking lot where ? mans a quick photo booth and the fun
begins!

This film surprised me, I wasn't expecting all that much. It's fun, quirky,
emotional, and fun. The director's name escapes me.

538.1	Haven't seen it but...	65320::RIVERS	Stupid, STUPID rat creatures!	`Tue May 03 1994 08:57`	6
	I would suspect the question-mark Quaid to be Dennis's older, less handsome brother Randy, usually stuck in Mean-Old Sherrif roles and such. kim
538.2	life just isn't fair sometimes :-)	VAXWRK::STHILAIRE	gee, I don't know what to say	`Tue May 03 1994 15:23`	6
	re .1, less handsome is right. If I looked like Randy Quaid and my parents had also created a son that looked like Dennis, I'd be really p**sed. Lorna
538.3	Only one Quaid in this movie	29572::OKIE::QUINN_J	Crying? Theres no crying in baseball!	`Wed May 04 1994 10:08`	4
	The ? was not a Quaid at all. I don't remember who it was. The movie was very funny, and the subject matter was pretty weird ... a lot of fire bugs. - John
538.4	Arliss Howard	QUARRY::reeves	Jon Reeves, UNIX compiler group	`Sat Jul 02 1994 00:29`	3
	The other brother was played by Arliss Howard. I've got his filmography in front of me, and almost the only thing I recognize on it is Full Metal Jacket.
