60 of 226 · most liked firstMan on Fire is a Netflix series now? Are they gonna stretch the story of the movie(s) over 7 episodes? Or maybe in every episode he gets a mission that will redeem his sins and he accomplishes it & dies melodramatically. Then he wakes up to the sound of Sonny and Cher playing on his clock radio...
neutral · AI labelView post →More realistically it’s gonna be full on Man on Fire, drinking whiskey alone in a shitty apartment in Mexico City listening to “Blue Bayou.” But still a good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Ridley’s best movies (Alien and Blade Runner) are better than Tony’s best movies (The Last Boy Scout and Man on Fire) but I’d rather watch a Tony Scott movie than a Ridley Scott movie. And Ridley’s worst movies are worse than Tony’s worst movies
neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix’s Man on Fire series has a fine lead performance from Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, but is another case of a streaming show padding out what worked fine as a movie-length story. My review:

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching MAN ON FIRE with Carta and boy, Tony Scott really can ruin a perfectly good action movie like nobody else.
negative · AI labelView post →Without saying Malcolm X, fav Denzel Washington film? 🎥 For me… ‘Man On Fire’ (2004) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →Re-watching Thomas Jane's version of The Punisher. Is it a good Frank Castle story? No. Is it a fun revenge movie? Yes. Saw it in a theatrical double feature with Kill Bill vol 2. Sad that I didn't do a triple with Man on Fire.
neutral · AI labelView post →What’s a song that was not written for a movie but was used in a movie scene in a way where you always associate it with that movie/movie scene? Some people hear “Mickey” and think of Wayne’s World but it always reminds me of Man on Fire.
neutral · AI labelView post →Add a monster to a movie: * Children of a Lesser Godzilla * Bigfoot Trouble in Little China * Invisible Man On Fire * The Werewolf of Wall Street * Loch Ness Monster-In-Law * The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Kong
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminder for some of you, Tony Scott's MAN ON FIRE is itself a remake of a 1987 film starring Scott Glenn.
neutral · AI labelView post →Guy when I was 16 and working the movie ticket booth: hey, does Man on Fire have any sex in it? His friend emerging from the shadows/bushes: yeah! Is there gonna be sex?
neutral · AI labelView post →Alien is a movie I can put on anytime and just absorb all the incredible little details, it's a masterpiece, but Man On Fire and The Last Boy Scout bring out the real hooting and hollering caveman brain in me and I adore them for that.
positive · AI labelView post →When Dan mentioned that two of his own personal Blind Spots happened to be Matt’s favorite Tony Scott movie Man on Fire and my favorite Tony Scott movie Days of Thunder we knew what had to be done—and needless to say we had an absolute blast recording this double feature episode! Hope you all enjoy!
neutral · AI labelView post →As someone who watched their first Equalizer this week - Hell Yes. Equalizers delete the need for Man on Fire, a fun movie that is not nice to Mexican people it has invented to be a boogeyman.
neutral · AI labelView post →Much like Denzel Washington as John Creasy in the 2004 hit film Man on Fire, Branson has painted his masterpiece.
neutral · AI labelView post →Man on Fire was a rewatch since I was young in the theater 22 years back. It is still great today! Finally watched The Martian for the first time, great movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I just finished S1 of the netflix series reboot of Man on Fire. I really enjoyed it - and the music is also really great. It's a similar, yet different, story from the movie - and they hint that there will be a S2.
positive · AI labelView post →Shame on Netflix for not only remaking MAN ON FIRE for the third time, but pulling the Denzel Washington version a month before the remake drops. #film #movies

neutral · AI labelView post →Just as ex-CIA maniac John Creasy changed his attitude toward life after taking a job as a bodyguard, I changed my opinion of Tony Scott's MAN ON FIRE after watching it again 19 years later.
positive · AI labelView post →Not stopping at one. Blazing Saddles To Sir With Love Shaft (any of them) Don't Be a Menace The Blackening Man on Fire And if you live in my house: Rocky 3. Cause Clubber Lang is the real hero of that movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Funny to see people bitching about the new MAN ON FIRE show being a remake when the 2004 Denzel film is itself a remake of the 1987 Scott Glenn film, which in turn is based on a 1980 novel. There's a whole series of great Creasy novels, and it looks like they're finally adapting them. Can't wait!

unlabelledView post →I just watched that old movie Man On Fire, about the kidnapping industry, and I'm not even sure how anyone is supposed to tell the difference, except that the professional kidnappers are at least likely to give people back if you pay them.
unlabelledView post →just curious, it’s not a This One is Better thing: If you’re reading this have you ever seen the original MAN ON FIRE movie from the ‘80s It just seems like one of those cases where the remake is so much more popular few know it even is a remake
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s Film Selection🍿🎥🎬: Scott Glenn has never truly gotten his due as an actor. This original (and absolutely superior IMHO) version of “Man on Fire”is fantastic. Denzel’s was great, but the original was so raw. So real. A killer’s affection for a child. A man who put her life before his.

unlabelledView post →I'm really leaning towards another Spike Lee joint, Mo' Better Blues, but... ... I mean, Fallen is *right there.* Sorely underrated film, that. And then there's Man on Fire.

unlabelledView post →Tonight’s Film Selection🍿🎥🎬: The original “Man on Fire” from 1987 featuring one helluva performance from Scott Glenn, not the 2004 Denzel remake. A very gritty little film which was virtually ignored until the remake. Seek it out. Trust me. #TonightsFilmSelection

unlabelledView post →Tonight’s Film Selection🍿🎥🎬: Going with the original Man on Fire” from 1987 starring Scott Glenn. Underrated film. Glenn was fantastic. The relationship between Creasy & Samantha was so sweet. I loved Denzel’s 2004 performance too, but it didn’t have the same heart. #TonightsFilmSelection

unlabelledView post →Big fan of the underrated, twice remade 1987 film "Man on Fire" starring Scott Glenn. It really pisses me off that it's almost never mentioned in articles. (I did enjoy the 2004 Denzel version) That said, I'm really looking forward to this new series starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II!
