Me and a buddy watched this last night, and we had a blast.

I know that some will disagree, but as far as we are concerned, anyone, ANYone, but James Garner in an action movie. The guy is such a goofball. Might as well have Paul Lynde in one.

Tank is pretty corny, to say the least. It could have been a decent little exploitation flick. Tighten up the dialogue, tone down the schmaltz, and get Clint Eastwood. Chuck Connors. Ed Lauter. Joe Don Baker. Bo Svenson. Warren Oates. Lee Marvin. Charles Bronson. Even Burt freaking Reynolds. ANYONE BUT JAMES GARNER.

We had a sort of an impromptu MST3K-inspired roast of Tank last night. It isn't too hard with fertile material for ridicule such as Tank. We laughed our asses off the whole time.

I picked the DVD up from a thrift store, and my buddy resisted, but I insisted. Afterward he said that I had been right. Tank is a great choice for a Saturday night movie lambaste session.
