THE COCA-KID KID (USA, 1985)
(No credits available)
Well, kids, finally a movie too weird for me to fathom. Anyone
who sees this picture, about a gung-ho ex-Marine Coca-Cola
trouble-shooter visiting Australia to drum up sales, who tries to put
Coke in a small Australian county which is controlled by a local pop
salesman. Eric Roberts gives a complex, really amazing
performance; trouble is, I have no idea quite what the script wants
him to do. This movie has some fantastic satire, and nice
characters, and things seem to roll along for a time and then Bang!
they skip the tracks. This is fun to watch, but... if anyone can
figure out how the two line caption at the end relates to the rest of
the movie, could they please tell me? Thank you....
