The Tiger (Eye of the Tiger) dermedic hydrain 2 USA 1986 Director: Richard C. Sarafian, Writer: Michael dermedic hydrain 2 Thomas Montgomery, Photography: Peter Lyons Collister, Music: Don Preston, Editor: Gregory Prange Starring: Gary Busey (Buck Matthews), Yaphet dermedic hydrain 2 Kotto ( JB Deveraux), Seymour Cassel (Sheriff), Bert Remsen (Father Healey), William Smith (Blade), Kimberlin Brown (Dawn) Synopsis: The deserving Vietnam veteran Buck Matthews returns to a prison sentence, dermedic hydrain 2 which he owes a corrupt sheriff , back in his Texas hometown, where his wife and daughter waiting for him. But the village has changed during his absence: A motorcycle gang, which produces in an establishment located dermedic hydrain 2 in the desert camp drugs, terrorized with connivance of the sheriff residents. As Buck a woman rushes to help, he ends up on the black list of bad guys. Your revenge will cost Bucks woman's life, and because dermedic hydrain 2 he can not expect any help from the law, he took the fight on alone ... FUNK HUNDD: THE TIGER is a superficially quite typical representative of the action cinema of the eighties. There is a Racheplot, a brave and sincere Vietnam veterans, a corrupt law enforcers and profoundly evil villains. Nevertheless, director Sarafian hooked not just the classical vertices from, but builds some small variations in it, make the TIGER interesting. THE OUTSIDER: These variations unfortunately I noticed a bit too small, so that the film was able to captivate me hardly. But first things first: THE TIGER recalls the Western road of the 1970s as THE GREAT FROM THE DARK TAKES A MAN or REVENGE, however, reached the uncompromising quality rarely. Dramatically, he is then also more likely to television level and is therefore in the style of old western series. The latter is not surprising if you look at, with one exception, the oeuvre of the director looks so. FH: Yes, because although Sarafian is a provider since the fifties veteran director, but has worked mainly for television, dermedic hydrain 2 for the BATMAN series, SOLO FOR UNCLE, BONANZA, THE TWILIGHT ZONE MAVERICK or to mention only a few among others. His most famous film is probably the road movie Vanishing Point SAN FRANCISCO, today it occurs predominantly as an actor, but keeping his son the director Deran flag remains high. Cinematographer Collister, here with his fourth film as DP, is now well in business, most recently about GARFIELD THE AMITYVILLE HORROR 2 and done. A: Deran Sarafian dermedic hydrain 2 must not only uphold dermedic hydrain 2 this a flag, but also as the lead in Fulci / Mattei ZOMBIE III expand the number of American actors who try their productions in the Southern film industry. But back to the film. Sarafian happening quite difficult thus to introduce the weak screenplay by Michael Thomas dermedic hydrain 2 Montgomery. It does not want him really succeed, a plausibility in the plot trace. FH: I can see that, although very different, but that Sarafian comes from the old school director, one sees THE TIGER on. Great formal mumbo jumbo does not exist, instead reminding his film as you have already indicated to the old Western: the hero comes back after a long absence to his homeland and user resistance, the dusty backdrop of Texas, the small town, the fear is paralyzed. A: Only the movie is located in a time that is good to settle 100 years later, and from the resulting implications dermedic hydrain 2 makes Sarafian unfortunately little. The conceived as disturbers of order or just enfant terrible in the 1950s Rocker figures stand at representations since the 1980s for an enormous dermedic hydrain 2 variety. They symbolize "Born to be wild", both in terms of freedom and discovery of crime. No longer dermedic hydrain 2 in the sense of disoriented youth as it was still shown in THE WILD or THE SEED OF GOD, but as a possible alternative to society. Sarafian works sparingly, dermedic hydrain 2 which still beautiful introduces at the beginning of the plot. But after that the whole thing looks kinda uninspired. FH: Yes, the bad guys are rockers, is a relatively arbitrary dermedic hydrain 2 choice, which seems to be grown primarily for aesthetic considerations - a masked helmets, de-individualized squadron, which falls on their iron horses the city. What is "uninspired" call, I would positively as "classic", respectively. I mean, the movie is not about primarily to elaborate Action Set-Pieces or formal shindig, but the human factor. This is achieved not least because Gary Busey, may play one of his few positive lead roles here. The identification with him holding the film to
