Show Notes
The Sylvester Stallone/Richard Donner/Wachowskis collab Assassins opened October 6, 1995. A bizarre mix of 90s action and art cinema, the movie bombs in the states, then does well overseas, "Because in Europe, they line up around the block for Stah-Low-Nay." - Robert Sklar, NYU Film Professor.
