Trash for the Masses #12: Tough Guys Don’t Dance (1987)

Welcome back to Trash for the Masses! This time we take on 1987’s “Tough Guys Don’t Dance”, starring Ryan O’Neal, Isabella Rossellini, Wings Hauser, and Lawrence Tierney. It was written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winning author Norman Mailer, who should have stuck to writing. Words cannot describe the incomprehensible plot and awkward dialog in this film! Also the source of the “OH GOD, OH MAN, OH GOD, OH MAN” meme.

There will not be a commentary track for this one. Most of it was long stretches of silence followed by, “what is going on here” comments. We were completely at a loss for words at how bad this film was!
