[Footnote to discussion of Top Gun, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop] "The result of this veneration of mavericks in eighties movies is that the villains of these films are often completely in the right: Iceman is completely right that Maverick is dangerous, just as the Environmental Protection Agency is right that the Ghostbusters look like unlicensed clowns and Mr. Rooney is right that Ferris should be in school." ? #big80s #movies
