Mate, Long Kiss Goodnight comes after the thrills of Cutthroat Island. I am going to infer both from how you said Davis' career bombed and that LKG never gets much of a mention that it isn't rated. Am I alone (I quietly hope), is LKG another Harlin stinker because I freakin' loves it. Also, Davis as a pirate captain was kind of a turn on. Then again Davis as a baseball player was sexy and Davis driving off the Grand Canyon was hot. I even stayed glued to Davis as the American Pres (another Mickey Douglas link). One word.....Overbite.
I'm blaming Modine, one of those guys who got leading roles for some weird reason. Outside of Birdy I ain't feel in' it.
