"Take that barnacle off his lip."
And so, to a cinematic classic, and I'm sure everyone has seen more than a few scenes in their time, yet in their proper context are even more fantastical. For though Casshern is a futuristic, shot-in-a-Sin-City-style adrenaline rush, you'd be surprised how much fun Steamboat Bill, Jr. is. Seriously. The stunts are brilliantly conceived and performed, the effects well designed, and the soundtrack perfectly paced.
Just like Casshern, you say? Well, where the Japanese makes attempts at philosophical depth, the Hollywood succeeds at genuine laugh-out-loud comedy. Bill makes you think, but only in wonderment at how Buster Keaton defied death for 70 minutes. You wouldn't see it today, even from Jackie Chan.
