Sunday Cinema – “Eye of the Tiger”
All this month on “Sunday Cinema” we will be showcasing biker movies with connections – actor connections, that is. Each of the movies will contain an actor (or actors) that starred in one of the other movies.

Dan the Man’s story of his daughter’s car seat adjustment reminded me of this scene from “Planes, Trains, & Automobiles”…
“Dark Night of the Scarecrow” was a “PG” horror movie that originally aired on CBS. Even though there is no real gore/nudity/foul language, it is certainly a VERY scary movie. You can watch it on Shudder, Peacock, or Tubi TV. A poorly-done sequel apparently was released in 2022…
MattyV seems to be late to the party when it comes to television shows (“Seinfeld”, “Everybody Loves Raymond”, etc.) and it’s no different with “Bob’s Burgers” which has a commitment to a 14th & 15th season.

Former Linebacker Brian “Boz” Bosworth stars as Joe Huff, a rogue Alabama cop chosen by the FBI to infiltrate a biker gang headed by “Chains” Cooper (Lance Henricksen). A strong start to his film career, the movie had a spiritual sequel (“Back in Business”). 80’s action (although released in 1991), lots of catchphrases, & some T&A as well…
