Sitting back and watching it now and was wondering What everyone's thoughts were on this movie.
What a really good movie. Doesn't get a lot of airplay, which is a shame. It's got it's corny parts too, but it's great at what it is, just a action packed cop movie. Sure it's not groundbreaking (really just a repackaged Dirty Harry) but to me it has a better soundtrack, and a better supporting cast. And Rachel Ward is at her finest.
It's a damn shame Burt Reynolds couldn't get more roles in movies like this and deliverance. He really was a good actor, when he had was given a descent platform.

All I remember about that movie is how fine Domino was and how fricking crazy/scary the assassin guy was. It's been about 30 or 35 years since I've seen it.

He could really sink to all levels.

Love this movie. Torture scene was rough.
Really gained an appreciation for backlighting and silhouettes.

Isn't that the movie with the Albino bad guy? Creeped me out as a kid.

As a side note... The scene where the guy falls out of the window of the office building broke a record for the longest fall for a stuntman or something like that. I remember watching "Thats Incredible" when I was a kid & they did a long story about it.

Loved that movie. I watched it so many times on cable in my teen years. Domino was so incredibly hot. Easily one of my top 3 Reynolds movies. It's one of my favorite movies from that era. Another I loved from that same era that I always rewatched on cable was Dressed to Kill with Michael Caine...and the Angie Didkinson shower scene.

Way back when we first got cable my mom had left me home for a while. First thing she asked me was "did u watch that movie Dressed to Kill?!!!!" Damn right I did. I loved ole Angie. I was about 11 at the time. CSB....

The Eiger Sanction with Clint Eastwood had an albino. Maybe he is the one you were remembering.

The William Diehl book the movie is based on is a pretty good read.
