R.I.P. Roy Scheider


The man could act.

And, in the end, if your "The French Connection", "All That Jazz" and "Jaws" outlive your "Blue Thunder", you've done OK.

"Blue Thunder"? Ha, I fart upon your "Blue Thunder"!

That Scheider even had a movie career after his debut in the ultra-low-budget "The Curse of the Living Corpse" (written and directed by Del "I Eat Your Skin" Tenney) is nothing short of miraculous!

That one makes "Blue Thunder" look like "Citizen Kane".

R.I.P. Roy: I'm glad you got a second chance.
