Broth tragically and triumphantly, Alex Proyas’ directorial debut, an adaptation of James O’Barr’s comic antihero, immortalized star Brandon Lee upon its debut—underscoring the young actor’s charisma and screen presence even as it served as a eulogy for a career that ended far too early. Written by Paul Schrader, John Flynn’s “Rolling Thunder” is a bloody, magnificent tale about a PTSD-afflicted Vietnam veteran (the beautifully taciturn William Devane) who enlists a fellow serviceman (Tommy Lee Jones) to exact revenge on the men who kill his wife and son. Whether you feel they shed light on the extraordinary inhumanity of the period or were simply exploiting it in order to provoke audiences, it’s become a truly notorious film, and Blue Underground’s four-disc set includes both its English and Italian versions, a feature-length documentary about its making, featurettes about its directors, composer Riz Ortolani and other collaborators, and a CD of the soundtrack.
