Dennis Vs Shayera Hol : Who Is Brian Cox Compared To?

Kyle maclachlan and laura dern are well cast as the small town "nice" kids who find themselves caught up in a mysterious and dangerous scene that exists right under their noses. dennis hopper ('easy rider'), long a legendary cult figure, is given one of the most memorable roles of his career as frank booth, still one of the most repellent movie villains ever seen. hopper was newly sober, and had spent a long time in "exile" from hollywood, and with 'blue velvet' he could not have asked for a more amazing opportunity for a comeback.

Shayera hol / hawkgirl appears in series set in the dc animated universe (dcau), voiced by maria canals-barrera. the series producers reworked this version's personality in order to contrast with wonder woman and included her over black canary so that a member of the "hawk family" was represented. as a member of the thanagarian armed forces, she wields an nth metal mace capable of disrupting magical forces and other forces of energy, has superhuman strength, endurance, and durability, and is an expert hand-to-hand combatant.

Upon reaching earth, they were befriended by midway city police commissioner george emmett, who established cover identities for them as carter and shiera hall. after capturing byth and bringing him back to their planet, katar and shayera chose to return to study earth's crimefighting methods, and they fought against evil as the superheroes hawkman and hawkgirl. shayera renamed herself hawkwoman in the early 1980s.

The pair are locked in a seemingly endless cycle of death and rebirth throughout the centuries. while not a superhuman power per se, this propensity for reincarnation has allowed hawkgirl to cheat death and return to active duty in her current incarnation. like all modern thanagarians, shayera hol has a pair of wings growing from her back which allows her to fly.

Dennis hopper stars as an ex-texas ranger seeking revenge on the murderous chainsaw-wielding family responsible for murdering members of his family from the previous installment. meanwhile, a radio deejay (caroline williams) recorded one of their grisly murders and played it on the air only to upset cook (jim siedow, the only returning actor from the original), chop top (bill moseley), and leatherface (bill johnson).tobe hooper is back as director, but unfortunately the sequel is rushed and (surprisingly) mediocre. instead of keeping the eerie atmosphere and suspense that worked in the original, he throws in touches of dark humor that barely works.

Dennis farina, himself a former chicago cop, exudes realistic authority as jack crawford. tom noonan obtains a disturbing childlike innocence and deliberation in his terror. and brian cox…poor guy, will always be compared to anthony hopkins.
