Legend of Billy Jean


Actors: Helen Slater, Keith Gordon, Christian Slater, Richard Bradford, Peter Coyote, Martha Gehman
Rating: 5 out of 10, Some more bad 1980s cinema came into my possession and an old favorite resurfaced. This hasn’t aged well and is mostly watchable to see how the ridiculous was common place during that era, not to mention the tall hair. Helen Slater plays a hot trailer park gal with possibly the stupidest brother (a very young Christian) in cinema history who has to go on the lam after running afoul of a well-connected villain. She becomes a Joan of Arc for the Texas seacoast area as the thoroughly incompetent police can’t track her down despite the gaping plot holes present. What were we thinking?!
MVP: Helen Slater as Billie Jean Davy occasionally rises above the bad writing
