Damn right it is.

Pretty sure I saw Ace Ventura at this location. Too young to remember if it was Eastgate or not. We just called it the dollar theatre. On Louisville Ave I think.

Lightning had the dumbest weapons while Thunder's knives were cool.

For some reason it always cracks me up in the end when Lo Pan shoves Miao Yin over to Thunder and breaks his character a bit and says “here, take the bitch”

I still do this to identify allies when I'm in a strange or dangerous place.

Amazing film, but still trails Captain Ron as Kurt Russell’s finest work.
