There’s a new drug out there called Crystal Dream. Now, what it is, you don’t shoot it, you don’t smoke it, you don’t snort it. Apparently, you put it in your eyes, and it tells you lies.

There’s a couple trends in nineties movies that resulted in some of the best films the decade had to offer, the first being drugs.  Crack in New Jack City or Nuke in Robocop 2, a bevy of amazing action flicks materialized around the subject of drugs and the changing American landscape.  Another attribute of nineties films, Japanese corporate takeovers.  This can be seen in films such as Red Sun and even The Perfect Weapon.

Combine these two attributes and you have a movie that jumped the shark before the genre even began, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.  In a heist to save their favorite bar, Marlboro Man (Don Johnson) and Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) steal what they believe to do money from an armored truck.  Unfortunately, this shipment is in fact the infamous new drug Crystal Dream.  This results in a whirlwind of trouble for the two, fighting a gang of bulletproof hitmen hell bent on getting the shipment back, but also a Japanese corporate fat cat (Tom Sizemore) employing the men.
The modern day cowboy and the modern day outlaw, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid must fight through hell on steel horseback to come out on top.  If you don’t believe me about this movie’s glory, the director of this classic went on to helm such nineties gems as Operation Dumbo Drop and Lightning Jack, however has since realized you cannot capture lightning in a bottle.
