![]() ![]() During one such war, more than five thousand years ago, the odds were heavily stacked against the Kree, leading to division as to how they were to proceed. The Kree have been at war almost continuously throughout their history. The Kree capture a Mayan to experiment on The two empires waged a protracted war with each other that lasted a thousand years. The Kree have a historical rivalry with the Nova Empire, their rival for political power in the galaxy. Their relationship with the Asgardians is frosty at best, with the Asgardians viewing the Kree as deceitful and savage. They are one of the many races encountered by the Asgardians in the Nine Realms and the worlds beyond Yggdrasil. They are the rulers of the Kree Empire, a large, interstellar imperial group that encompasses various planets, and features the Sakaaran species as a client race. The Kree are a humanoid race who follow a strict, militaristic lifestyle. ![]() They came to conquer it." ― Werner Reinhardt and Peggy Carter "These visitors, they didn't come to save the world. of blue angels who came bearing a gift for all mankind, meant to save the world." A myth from the East of a star that fell from the heavens. Though pretty much unknown, it's a decent little thriller."There's a story. before they withered away and is too bad. This was one of only a few good movies from the quickly defunct Scotti Bros. But Woods approach is more scary, which just makes her pissed. Early on she talks suggestive to Smith on the phone, appearing to be open sexually about herself (which is also indicated by her window displays). His characters' only mis-step is not being more agressive with Lane. And if Woods is indeed James Woods brother, talent is definitely in the bloodline. At times the stuff she spouts is a little over the top, but is delivered nice enough. Lane, aside from being absolutely gorgeous, which is saying nothing of her eye-popping (among other things, hehe) topless shot, really conveys her loss of freedom. I must say the performances are there big time. And what the hell happened to Smith's character? All of a sudden he's dropped and never mentioned again (I'm sure he didn't care considering that love scene he got to do with Lane, hubba hubba). Though different, it's mostly ineffective. The ending is a downer, too, kind of a letdown. Plus the MANY unintentional laughs, like Woods dancing around her place in a bathtowel, him doing a Spiderman impression by climbing down the side of her building on a rope so he can break in, and Lane cursing her mirror while she repeatedly spits on it. Only in movieland would the victim accept the challenge and begin playing cat and mouse games with the wacko. Which, again, is one of the many implausible elements of the film. All the while talks to the police are mostly kept off-screen an d Lane keeps putting up with everything. But at one point the perv scales the wall of her apartment/loft, takes a bath, and does something rather gross to one of her nighties. First we get the typical stalking she's followed home he steals her mail harrassing phone calls. Lane's gutsy and provocative displays get her noticed in good and bad ways, one of which is by a perverted x-ray technician, played by Woods. But, ooh boy, is this a much different movie. This was the second film of '87 to feature one following the Andrew McCarthy comedy "Mannequin" (this one is even replete with a flamboyantly gay co-worker, too). It begins when Lane sort of pushes her way into a job as a window dresser. It is hardly believable for most of its running time, but at least it keeps you watching. ![]()
