That's unfortunate, and a weird coincidence because right now I'm writing a review for "Road House."

I've always liked his work. He was never afraid to play a guy you didn't like. He could be very unsavory and scary in some roles.

Strange: I was watching him just the other day in The Bridge At Remagen where he played the kleptomaniac soldier Sgt Angel. RIP Mr Gazzara.  Bluesad

I may need to dig out my copy of THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE . . . goodbye, Ben.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
