WHERE WERE YOU IN 1976?: ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13
Where Were You in 1976? A Look Back at Bicentennial Cinema: Assault on Precinct 13, 6pm Bicentennial Pre-show by Deserted Films, 6:30pm Film
June 25
Assault on Precinct 13
Directed by John Carpenter
Starring Austin Stoker, Darwin Joston, Laurie Zimmer
“Look at that, two cops wishing me luck. I'm doomed.”
Along with everything else it has going for it, Assault is just a beautiful, tight little film, built on the narrative foundation of Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo. So that means you will be riveted to the action from the first frame…and you will have the pleasure of beholding some of Carpenter’s very best (because he was operating under the influence of a master) dialogue. NOTE: as with every John Carpenter film, you will have a hard time shaking the soundtrack. So, give in to it and track it down online. It makes for some pretty strange party music!
