Five Came Back, on the other hand, finds Vasquez and an older couple stranded, with Vasquez shooting them before they fall into the hands of angry headhunters. This change in the story keeps with Star Trek’s optimistic nature and demonstrates the benevolence and compassion beneath Spock’s icy exterior.Īs a nod to Ball, the episode worked quite well. Valley of the Head Hunters (reissued as Valley of Head Hunters) is a 1953 adventure film directed by William Berke and starring Johnny Weissmuller in his eleventh appearance as Jungle Jim. Two of the crewmen are killed by local monsters, but the remainder escape in the shuttle, and, thanks to Spock’s scientific acumen, they signal the Enterprise for a rescue. The film is a remake of the 1939 film Five Came Back, also directed and produced by John Farrow. The film stars Robert Ryan, Rod Steiger, Anita Ekberg and Gene Barry. Thankfully, "The Galileo Seven" has a happier ending than Five Came Back. Eventually, the vengeful Head Hunter finally gets his chance to face off against this formidable foe and, at first, appears to be victorious, separating the beast’s. Back from Eternity is a 1956 American drama film about a planeload of people stranded in the South American jungle and subsequently menaced by headhunters. Spock uses logic to resolve the dilemma, and the coldness of his calculations sets the other survivors on edge, while Vasquez, far from a mindless killer, makes the same kind of deliberations with an eye on the maximum good. This episode was an early example of how Spock’s alien nature could set him at odds with the crew and formed an interesting parallel to Vasquez. The shuttle is damaged, and three of the seven will need to be left behind, meaning Spock has to make the decision. Spock is left in command of six crew members. The Enterprise’s shuttle Galileo crash lands on an inhospitable planet, and Mr. Pure joy.“The Galileo Seven” borrows the same notion and dilemma as Five Came Back. Anyone tired of the surly, leather-jacketed seriousness of the ‘Millennium’ trilogy and looking for more spark and spice in their Scandinavian crime sagas need seek no further. The plot moves like a rocket, the despicable characters are marvellously sketched, and if ‘Headhunters’ is not always entirely convincing (a few twists take a bit of swallowing), it’s always deliriously entertaining. Bankers and business types may prickle at their blanket portrayal as greedy, self-serving misanthropes, but it serves to slot the film neatly within the current anti-capitalist zeitgeist.īut none of this would matter a jot if Tyldum didn’t have such a firm grasp of his material.
It’s a timely film, too: while Nesbø and Tyldum’s prime directive is to give their audience a good bracing shake, they also find time to throw in a few witty, thoughtful asides about personal responsibility and the ways in which the relentless pursuit of wealth conflict with the achievement of true happiness. Of course, we know it’s all a ploy – that Greve is luring Roger in for his own devious reasons, and that things are about to go horribly wrong – but it’s how Nesbø and Tyldum spring the trap that’s so enjoyable to watch. When we meet Roger, he’s happily married to a gorgeous woman (Synnøve Macody Lund), having a fling on the side and preparing to help himself to the priceless Munch lithograph owned by high-flying Swedish executive and former elite soldier Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). When a Predator scout ship crash-lands in the.
The small town of Gunnison, Colorado becomes a war zone between two of the deadliest extra-terrestrial life formsthe Alien and the Predator.
Then sit back and smile as he tangles with the wrong folks and is subjected to the most humiliating indignities this smart, streamlined script can invent. The iconic creatures from two of the scariest film franchises in movie history wage their most brutal battle everin our own backyard. Director Morten Tyldum’s juggernaut thriller, based on Norwegian author Jo Nesbø’s bestselling novel, stems from a simple but hugely satisfying idea: serve up an eminently hissable central character, in this case part-time art thief and full-time corporate douchebag Roger (Aksel Hennie, who looks like the love child of Steve Buscemi and Rupert Grint). Luckily, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy. In todays military, a lapse in judgment that causes a crash can end a. What’s the worst thing that can happen to a movie character? Shot, stabbed, beaten, tortured? How about exiled, chased, shot, impaled, betrayed, sacked, savaged by a pitbull, involved in a tractor crash, chucked off a cliff and forced to hide under six feet of human shit? Stage and screen i am trying to name a film but no movie databases has the answer.
