neutral · AI labelView post →Oh for the record, the most Pittsburgh & actually filmed in Pittsburgh thing ever is the movie Striking Distance (it has Bruce Willis, Fraiser’s dad, and Murphy Brown’s painter).
neutral · AI labelView post →Checking out a Bruce Willis film I've never seen before - STRIKING DISTANCE. Netflix only has this in HD. I remember when HD was a big deal, but now it's like having to watch something in pan & scan instead of widescreen. Like 'Fine. If that's the only option then I guess I'll have to take it'.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the holiday spirit, I give you the gift that keeps on giving: a thread about the Pittsburgh-iest film ever -- one that leaves "Flashdance," "Striking Distance," AND "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" in the dust. It's the 1963 classic "A Visit to Santa!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlkt...

neutral · AI labelView post →Try watching the car chase scene from the Bruce Willis movie Striking Distance if you’re from the Pittsburgh area. “THOSE STREETS AREN’T CONNECTED!”
neutral · AI labelView post →I am convinced Hotel Room Film should be a genre all on its own. Have watched Striking Distance (1993) and Rambo: Last Blood (2019) since staying in Colchester. What would be on your list?

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching a movie that is awe-inspiring in its terribleness: Striking Distance, starring Bruce Willis. It’s genuinely astonishing in how completely without merit it is. With the sole exception of Andre Braugher briefly lighting up the screen in two scenes.
negative · AI labelView post →At the PGH DSA Coffee With Comrades got in a discussion with @alanaferal.bsky.social about the 90s Pittsburgh River Cop Bruce Willis movie Striking Distance and the insane car chase stunts they were doing in this movie lol

positive · AI labelView post →Goodnight all Striking Distance is a dumb fun movie
positive · AI labelView post →I was once stuck in a friend's apartment for three days during a snowstorm with cable and internet out. For some reason the one DVD he had was the Bruce Willis movie Striking Distance, we we watched that basically on a loop. We didn't watch it 50 times, but I bet it was 20+.

At 9.20, Boys From Brazil on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social. At 10.45, Magnificent 7 remake on ITV1 #telly
neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished watching Striking Distance. It’s a pretty underrated cop film from the same director of the seminal 80s classic Roadhouse. Definitely recommend it, as it’s worth seeing for its incredibly stacked cast and all of twists, turns, and action set pieces.
positive · AI labelView post →Wtf there is a 1993 Bruce Willis movie called Striking Distance, where he's a cop and his ex partner is killed, and his new partner helping him solve the mirderis... Sarah Jessica Parker... I NEED to see it
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh god Striking Distance. The climax of the film, according to their river maps, takes place literally like 200 ft from our house but instead of Morningside it's a bunch of cabins in the middle of nowhere. Where middle of nowhere is .5 miles away from both Highland Park Bridge and Homestead Bridge.
neutral · AI labelView post →In “Striking Distance” (1993) demoted cop Bruce Willis suspects a cop of being a serial killer. Classic Bruce Willis movie with a lot of action, predictable humor, and a decent story line. 🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

neutral · AI labelView post →Striking Distance as my train film, and apparently it's one of those movies where I have to pretend that Fraiser's dad isn't Fraiser's dad in this
neutral · AI labelView post →I distinctly remember finding "Striking Distance" to be the least whelming action movie I'd ever seen. The only other notable thing I remember about the movie is that it was my first introduction to the late Andre Braugher.
negative · AI labelView post →#NowWatching 'Striking Distance' (1993)
neutral · AI labelView post →I was so excited when this movie came out because it was the first major movie I knew about to be filmed in my hometown of Pittsburgh in my lifetime. To be followed by Striking Distance, parts of Dogma, Stigmata, Jingle All The Way, and eventually the most boring bits of Dark Knight Rises
positive · AI labelView post →Also: according to Nielsen, the No. 10 streaming movie for that week was … 1993's "Striking Distance," starring Bruce Willis as a Pittsburgh river cop.
neutral · AI labelView post →Weak week of watches for me this week. Technically didn’t watch the last 30 minutes of Striking Distance but read the wiki which is probably just as good as watching the last 30 minutes of that movie.
negative · AI labelView post →From what I can find it’s from Striking Distance, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen that movie I genuinely couldn’t say.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the DVD. An underrated cop movie that has a fantastic cast, great set pieces, and a lot of twists and turns. Definitely recommend it, as it’s a fantastic time. My ★★★★ review of Striking Distance on @letterboxd.social: boxd.it/bSVEoF
positive · AI labelView post →Gotta watch Striking Distance next. Maybe the MOST Pittsburgh movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →As films go, yeah, but he directed a few episodes of Snowfall that he also created/wrote/produced. So only yinzers will bring this movie up in the future. Like Striking Distance.
neutral · AI labelView post →She’s good in L.A. STORY and my heart belongs to STRIKING DISTANCE. And liked that movie where she switches faces with John Travolta
positive · AI labelView post →The movie Striking Distance. Bruce Willis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Dennis Farina, Tom Sizemore. I've seen it several times and will always watch it.
positive · AI labelView post →Lol… “Striking Distance”!! This is the only other Pittsburgh movie I could think of as well!
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie geography bears little to no resemblance to actual geography. Ask me sometime about Striking Distance or Mission Impossible III.

neutral · AI labelView post →Striking Distance (1993) – Review When crafting a movie, it helps to have something of a cohesive vision of what the final product will look like. Tone, plot, characters - if there's any disagreement within the filmmaking process, the chances are that your film will ultimately play like a big mess that'll suffer thanks to clashing egos and multiple opinions. That's essentially what happened with Striking Distance, a 90s, Bruce Willis thriller that plainly suffers from a major identity crisis,…
neutral · AI labelView post →(this week's Sunday Night Movie Night is Striking Distance, which Netflix has been recommended for like a month at least)
neutral · AI labelView post →We sat through Striking Distance (for free ... after hours) in a theater a friend of mine was projectionist at. He'd let us bring in beer and smoke ... so it wasn't a total waste of time.
neutral · AI labelView post →@stillanygood.bsky.social I know you've just put a new episode out, but Striking Distance is now available on Netflix - a film I had completely forgotten about, but vaguely remember enjoying. I'm just about to dive in to the world of river patrol and serial killers. Might be worth a watch?
positive · AI labelView post →This might be one of the most underrated Bruce Willis actioners ever. "Striking Distance" is worth your while. My ★★★★ review of "Striking Distance" (1993) on Letterboxd: boxd.it/esJbb9
positive · AI labelView post →Film 1: "Titanic" Film 2: "Die Hard" Film 3: "The Accountant" Film that I Should Watch: Likely "Short Circuit" Underrated films: "Striking Distance" and "Maximum Risk" are right up there.
neutral · AI labelView post →Feels like a Bruce Willis film. Maybe Striking Distance or The Last Boy Scout. That era.
neutral · AI labelView post →So many film buffs are unaware of how many are shot in Pittsburgh. Not only ones set there like The Deer Hunter or Striking Distance. But blockbusters like Silence of the Lambs, Independence Day, Flashdance, Jack Reacher, The Avengers, Pretty Woman, Wonderboys, Day of the Dead, Dark Knight Rises.
