The Chase

Stockholm Syndrome has never been this much fun! Charlie Sheen and Kristy "the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Swanson star in this 1994 comedy. Meet Jackson Hammond a down on his luck, wrong-place-wrong-time type of guy who has been wrongly convicted of bank robbery. He accidentally kidnaps Natalie Voss, daughter of THE Dalton Voss (the Donald Trump of California) and is forced to flee from the cops.

Life Imitating Art?
This movie oddly mirrors the highway chase of OJ Simpson and the really eerie part is this movie predates the real life event. Well there are a couple of things that happens differently in the movie, mainly: cadavers falling out of a medical truck, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers running amok, and the in-the-car-while-driving sex scene between Sheen and Swanson, but other than that the comparisons are pretty spot on.

Henry Rollins almost steals the show in the role of pursuing cop, or "standard issue street soldier" in his words. He and his partner are being filmed as subjects of a COPSesque television show. Rollins' mock enthusiasm as a police officer brings many a laugh.

The Chase never pretends to take itself seriously which is what makes it such a fun movie.
