Wasn't Wiliam Smith in Born Losers? No, wait, that was Billy
Jack. The Losers? It was about a bunch of bikers who went to
Viet Nam to break some prisoners out of a prison camp just
over the border in Cambodia. It was the film that was on the
TV when Bruce Willis woke up in the motel room in Pulp
Fiction. It recycled footage (motorcycles riding through the
prison compound) more blatantly than a Warner Brothers
cartoon. So awful it was kinda fun.
