I LOVE this movie!

Last Action Hero, 1993

THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION!

Robert Patrick--Arnold Schwarzenegger

Director: John McTiernan (Die Hard series, The Hunt for Red October, The Thomas Crown Affair)

Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, F. Murray Abraham, Austin O'Brien

Danny Madigan (O'Brien) gets the adventure of his life when he's given a magical movie ticket, which, when used transports him into a brand new action movie, with his favorite hero Jack Slater (Schwarzenegger). Inside the action movie, Jack thinks he's real- he has no idea he is a fictional character and that his life, sad as it is, has been written by someone else.

Now Danny and Jack have to save the day in the movie, as well as stop the movie bad guy - who has discovered the magic of the movie ticket- from destroying Danny's world (our world).

It's silly, but funny. And very sweet! :) Lots of cameos, including one by Arnold!
