Delirious really put Eddie on the map. He was famous before that but after he did that concert, his stardom status exploded
I liked his performance but hated that movie because I didn't understand why he needed to die, when they knew the truth. Just made no sense.
I disagree 100% The guards were subject to a faulty system, which has a strong base in reality. Its an excellent reminder of it. Superb movie imho
The people that ran the system, or had some type of influence to affect it, new the truth, and could have prevented the execution.
It probably had to go that way to support the overall plot of the movie I guess. Then the ending would have been different, and not as intriguing.
Thanks for the reminder Ving Rhames in Con Air although he was better in Rosewood and Dawn of the Dead
