Legend (1985)

I love the film Blade Runner  (though I originally disliked it, but have come to love it and enjoy it more with each viewing).  Apparently Ridley Scott added footage of a unicorn from Legend into Blade Runner.  He has argued that that footage is an indication that Deckard is a replicant, but it is MUCH to little and done after the fact, indicating that this concept (of Deckard being a replicant) was an after thought and not preplaned as Ridley Scott has claimed.  There are no other indications of Deckard being a replicant and more importantly it doesn't add to the story or character, or even make sense.

It was due to my love of Blade Runner that I was interested in this film.  Besides, I always want to see films with a grand scope that bombed, to check out their potential. (films that often turn out to be cult classics)  It seems that a lot of those films that are not received well at the box office are actually the best films, with original ideas, which many films lack now a days.

This is the only other film I have ever seen with Mia Sara (who played Ferris Bueller's girlfriend in Ferris Bueller's Day Off). who has a very exotic look in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Also it features Tim Curry who hasn't had enough fantastic roles to show off his talents.  Playing a devil type character, he oozes atmosphere and he alone is enough reason to view the film.

This film is a visual spender as well as having excellent ambiance, but it isn't engrossing.  Also, the entire instigation of the story is hinges upon Mia Sara's character approaching the unicorn, which causes Tom Cruise to blame her for the unicorns capture, but realisitically had no impact, and in no way enabled the villains to capture the unicorn.  The ending is a bit of a let down, as the final resolution doesn't have enough of an emotional impact.
