The Best Thing I’ve Seen All Year: Christopher Walken Flips Off the Law of Physics

Did I say of the year, because I meant of the decade.   That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, on December 31st, 2009, at 12:40PM Central Standard Time, I stumbled upon the best thing I’ve seen since I clicked the TV Power button on at 12:01 AM January 1st, 2000 and realized the world hadn’t ended.

The movie is called MCBAIN.   It is from 1991, and it was a time where Christopher Walken was kind of going through a lull in his career.   Of course, if you know enough about the man, you realize Walken doesn’t go through lulls.   There are just moments where has chosen not to turn the volume up to KICK-ASS level.

Nonetheless, whatever you think of his career at this time, when a gun found its way into his hands, the laws of physics ceased to exist.

Just watch the clip, and we’ll talk after:

Through one window, across roughly 20 feet of air whipping by at hundreds of miles per hour, through another window (of a United States jet, nonetheless), through a helmet, nothing but pilot skull.   Look carefully at the start of the clip, and you’ll also see Michael Ironside in the back of that plane.   What’s all this add up to?   Just the greatest thing that has come before my eyes in the past decade.   I can sleep now.

God bless, Christopher Walken and God bless his lack of acceptance for the nature of impossibility.
