REACH--Starring Kathryn Bigelow--Directed by James Cameron!
This relic from 1988 is something that all involved would likely just assume be left locked away in a vault, deep inside an abandonded missile silo in Nebraska. Too bad for them that the intrepid folks at The Interview broke in and dug it out!
Starring Bill Paxton's '80s band Martini Ranch, "Reach" was helmed by Paxton's buddy James Cameron, and features Cameron's future ex-wife, a neophyte filmmaker with leading lady looks named Kathryn Bigelow, as the leader of an all-girl Amazon posse that would have made Russ Meyer drool all over his fastest pussycat. Judge Reinhold also makes an appearence. Who knew that nearly a quarter century later, Cameron and Bigelow would be facing off in what is arguably the most hotly-contested Best Director race in Academy Awards history?
The hair. The synthesizers. The neon. Ah, the '80s...
That was a pretty horrible, derivative video, especially when you add that Devo, the B-52s and other talent of that time were involved it it.
