Color Of Night: 30th Anniversary- I Nominate This For “So Bad It’s Good” Status
Quick Take: The same year Bruce Willis made Pulp Fiction, he also pushed out this ill conceived, but somehow brilliantly terrible erotic thriller. This is one of the most entertaining terrible films I’ve ever seen. It was a first watch for me, and I’d love to open up more people to this experience. I think this is a gem waiting to be uncovered and have a new following of people who recognize it for all its awful glory. I’d say that this is the worst thing he’s ever done, but toward the end of his career, sadly, Willis said yes to just about anything pushed his way. We really fucked up the career of someone who would lose the ability to rebound from those choices, but Color Of Night was his choice at his peak. It is self inflicted, and much easier to laugh at. Did this film stand the test of time? No. But it should have. If you can get it with audio description, treat yourself. Get drunk and have fun. For more, check out my video.
