If you've listened to any of our podcasts or come to any of our events, you know this: Secret Movie Club Team Member Edwin Gomez loves Cannon movies, hates Ingmar Bergman, and is passionate in his views on cinema.
November 15th is Edwin's birthday. And as a thank you for all his hard work and service as a soldier of cinema, we are programming one of his favorite movies: the Chuck Norris starring (and co-written) Cannon semi-classic Invasion USA.
Directed by Friday the 13th The Final Chapter's Joseph Zito, Invasion USA tells the story of a Cuban invasion of the United States and the only man who can possibly stop it: denim-clad swamp recluse and ex-CIA covert ops agent, Matt Hunter. Aka Chuck Norris.
Oh yeah. The movie also takes place at Christmas time with lots of American institutions like Christmas trees, the mall, family dinners getting blown up by Soviet rocket launchers so we're extra super angry at these bad guys so Chuck Norris can come in and kick some Chuck Norris a@@!
The main baddie of course is a Soviet Spy and you know eventually all-American (did I already mention he is also all denim-clad) Chuck Norris is gonna go eyeball to eyeball with the Soviet.
For what it's worth, the programmer writing this intro also loves this movie. But maybe for reasons different then Edwin's. Edwin loves this movie as a prime example of what Cannon Films did so brilliantly in the 1980's: ridiculously over the top action where something explodes every five minutes and no moment is boring. Ever.
This programmer loves this movie for some of the same reasons. . .but also because it is a ridiculously hilarious time capsule of a kind of Regan era action that in retrospect clearly was made for your Dad but now is laugh out loud outdated.
But who cares what this programmer thinks?! Tonight is for Edwin. And Edwin's movie taste shall rule the theater.
So come join us for a ridiculous rocket launcher blast of action. On 35mm. With, for, and because of Edwin Caeser Gomez.
Best always,
Craig Hammill
35mm Secret Movie Club Founder.Programmer
