Remember how you wrote in your Rolling Thunder review that it was one of the top ten games you'd like to see made into a movie? Well, guess what:
Same principle as Commando, basically, only backwards.

Holy shit, a movie with the same name as a video game that came out nine years before it and shares absolutely NO similarities! Wow, this is exciting.
Movie titles can be reused, especially ones vague ones. There are two critically acclaimed films named Crash. They are completely unrelated.
Rolling thunderstorms are an actual weather condition, making it difficult to copyright, and the term "Rolling Thunder" can already refer to several things:
Well, I did write a story with an unoriginal main title back in May, so who am I to talk? I wish I'd realized that sooner.

On a more important note, GPF, is that Devane in Payback? That was such a good film.
Indeed, it is William Devane as Carter in the movie Payback. It happens to be one of my favorite movies. When I read this thread, the scene where Porter shoots Carter came to mind immediately.

I've got a question for you: does James Coburn's character die? He's out on the street watching the building when Bronson answers the phone bomb, and I've heard it argued both ways. One of my friends insists that you can seem him die in a quick street shot when the explosion goes off, but I don't see it. I like to think he survives.

I think that the director would like you to believe that he has died.
Personally I would prefer that he narrowly escapes with his life and continues to live an unnecessarily extravagant life filled with many bullet free alligator bags.
