White girl, Black guy buddy movie.

Some of us here LOVE this movie.

There are rumors and rumors of rumors that a sequel to Renny HarlinsThe Long Kiss Goodnightis in the works.

I inexplicably missed the original when it came out and dismissed it as just another action flick.

I was more than surprised at how prescient a movie it was at the time.

The nineties was an adventurous time for filmmaking.

Quentin TarantinosReservoir Dogsbrought a sense of low-budget high-octane fun and breakaway banter back into the movies.

Underneath it is an allegory to the growing paranoiac conspiracy theories that are now flooding into the mainstream.

Davis played a pirate in the previous yearsCutthroat Island.

Harlin previously directedThe Adventures of Ford FairlaneandDie Hard 2which were edited simultaneously and released just a week apart.

Die Hard 2 was a huge hit andFord Fairlanestarred Andrew Dice Clay.

Geena Davis plays Samantha/Charly, the ultimate sleeper agent.

Besides being an actress, Davis is also a late-blooming Olympic archer and a member of Mensa.

Montiglio was a member of Roy DeMeos assassination crew.

Davis was nominated for a Saturn Award for her performances as Samantha/Charlie.

Samuel Jackson seems to be lit by some inner fire.

He brings a damaged humanity and vulnerability to the wildest of roles.

He brings more than wisecracks to private detective Mitch Hennessy.

He puts tangible fear and uncertainty behind the bluster.

She suffers from focal retrograde amnesia.

She has a daughter, Caitlin (Yvonne Zima), but she cant remember the father.

No, theyre not gonna bake cookies.

Theyre going to tease conspiracy theorists for years:

Hennessy:

Fund raiser?

Perkins:

1993, World Trade Center bombing, remember?

Youre telling me that youre gonna fake some terrorist thing just to scare some money outta congress?

Oh, blame it on the Muslims naturally, then Ill get my funding.

There is a movement of people who believe that Hollywood power brokers knew all about it.

Geena Davis does a magnificent job playing the dual roles of Samantha and Charly.

This might explain her enhanced abilities.

She has an epiphany while standing naked in front of a mirror.

A lot of people who say they are MK Ultra mind control survivors use mirror imagery.

The Long Kiss Goodnightwas prescient about quite a few things besides the growing trend to female action heroes.

This is a conspiracy movie posing as an adventure flick.
