  • Twenty-five years ago this week, kids were finalizing their holiday wish lists, which probably included a Nintendo home gaming system or the company's brand new handheld device, the Game Boy.

      He does sound grounded and mature and I'm sure he was. I did here from the guy playing Jimmy (in an interview) that he sometimes was a bit difficult.

    Fred’s character in this is treated by his younger brother’s mother and stepfather no differently than Rambo was in the first movie. This would’ve been a good movie if it was more like say The Karate Kid in game dueling while trying to win the money to keep their home.
