Say what you want. I still enjoy this movie in a way that surprises me every time I watch it. It’s funny, scary and exciting–even if the mine car special effects seem dated, even if Willie Scott is the stereotypical screaming female (that’s the point, people!), and even if Short Round is just a little too cute. It’s full of compelling and iconic images that informed my childhood in a big way. It’s no Raiders, but I still love it.
