This movie from 1987, based on a Norman Mailer book, got terrible reviews when it came out, and many people consider it to be appalling. In some ways it is, but I have to say I still think it is one of the most entertaining movies I’ve ever seen.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I have just watched it again, and still found it enthralling. Yes the acting is a bit odd, but compared to the limp, woke, turgid crap that passes for movies these days, this is a work of sheer genius.<\/p>\n

The reviews are terrible but ignore them, reviewers don’t know shit from chewed dates. And this movie is definitely chewed dates!<\/p>\n

This review is quite entertaining really: https:\/\/film-authority.com\/2021\/03\/24\/tough-guys-dont-dance\/<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0“Tough Guys Don\u2019t Dance is trash, but it\u2019s amusingly self-important trash, a film that lays open the vanities and miscalculations of the creative force behind it”<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

“For bad movie fans, it\u2019s a masterpiece of over-ripe dialogue, ridiculously melodramatic situations, and rabid, macho posturing that curdles the moment it hits the screen. Over 30 years later, we\u2019re still talking about Tough Guys Don\u2019t Dance”<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
