Dangerously Close

I wish I didn&apos;t have to write 10 lines for inclusion on IMDb, because there isn&apos;t too much to say about this movie EXCEPT that I really liked it at the time - it is a good example of mid-80&apos;s style - and the actors are very good, some have more recently become well known: John Stockwell is a noted Director now (&quot;Blue Crush&quot;), and he was &apos;Cougar&apos; in &quot;Top Gun&quot; the same year, 1986. Carey Lowell, Mrs. Richard Gere, went on to &quot;Law &amp; Order&quot; after a role in a bad James Bond movie. So why no DVD??? It was on VHS in the late 80&apos;s. One thing I do remember at the time, when Siskel &amp; Ebert reviewed it they noted a strange homo-erotic overtone in many scenes (like in the school gym&apos;s locker room). Of course, you could say that about the Top Gun locker room scenes, also. But they had a point, and I think one reason this movie did stand out from the run-of-the-mill Drive In fare was that director Albert Pyun gave it some of these inexplicable, strange tones. And there was one TERRIFIC pun half-way into the movie, but you&apos;ll have to watch it to find out for yourself...
