They take on
a neo-Nazi organization, which develops a poison
that only kills African Americans and will be dumped into the water supplies
of LA, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., all of which look suspiciously
like Los Angeles. I thought it was
the most laughable thing I'd ever seen until my father explained
the Tuskegee Experiment to me, and Three the Hard Way was suddenly
a meditation on justifiable paranoia, the scientific term for which
is "African American," I believe. 1974 follows that film
with a heartbreaking footnote, one of the final film performances
of Diana Sands. Honeybaby, Honeybaby was a messy cocktail
with a splash of spy caper, a twist of action melodrama,
a zest of character comedy, and so insecure it begins
with the movie describing itself to you. Hey, how you doin'?
