Courtesy of a tip from JessicaD, today’s forgotten classic is the 1987 film Steel Dawn. Patrick Swayze plays the lead, “a desert warrior, carving the future with his sword.” Come on, dude, you have to admit that’s a pretty awesome tagline. Basically, it’s exactly like Mad Max, and the very first shot of the trailer is a closeup of Swayze’s crotch. I don’t know what else you’d need to know about it besides that, but I did find 
Getting the film off to a quick start, the sandpeople, who live under the sand, decide to attack Swayze while he’s doing his daily headstands.
Okay, okay, I’m sold. You had me at “crotch closeup.” Additionally, this guy has awesome hair:
That is all.

The legend begins but the hair just won’t end.
Hey, I found the poster for the Rooster biopic. Tagline:
“a desert vanner, plowing the future with his sword.”
Not cool dude :(
The Sand People are easily startled but they’ll soon be back, and in greater numbers.
Should have called this “No Waterworld”.
Every kid I know who had seen this movie you could eventually see meditating while standing on their head. But not me because I was a ninja and a really good one.
By “Sand People” they mean Dune Coons.
No one puts baby in a cavern.
Plastic surgeons sand people.
Nom-The Mighty Feklahr often meditates whilst standing upon children’s heads.
I thought that was mediation. I guess I’m doing it wrong.
The guy is dead. Can’t we just forget about him like I did with my parents?
So sand people live under the sand? Does that mean that the old couple who are always calling the building super and banging on our floors are the real party people?
I guess now I know what the hell Journey was talking about with Streetlight People.
I’ll remember him everytime I see a movie with Kurt Russel.
I’m a dessert warrior. On the menu today?
*points to Swayze’s crotch*
I think the sand people just wanted to make a sandcastle with Swayze but he kicked the bucket. :(
It really rankles sand people when they get air in their crack.
Take away the voiceover and Swayze and that’s YouTube footage of a lazy afternoon in Kingman, Arizona.
Actually, leave Swayze, the hair is perfect.
Why do people in the future always dress in layers?
Is it “the Global Warming”?
They’re not so different anymore, Swayze and the sand people. They now both reside underground.
Can’t believe Tina Turner would be in such similar franchises.
Sand People #1: Hey bro.. what you dune? Harhar!
Sand People #2: Go fuck yourself Chad.
Sam Kineson walks up to Swayze: Hey, hey, you see this? HUH? Ya this is saaand. Ya, saaaand. YOU LIVE IN THE FUCKING DESERT!! OWAH OOOOOOWWWW!! MOVe TO WHERE THE FUCKING FOOD IS!! OOOOOOOOHHH!!!
Leave it to the Germans, Steel Dawn : Die Fahrte des Siegers.
Steel Dawn is the Gina Carano of robot fighting.
more fucking vampires up!
Steel Dawn is on Hulu, in case anyone wants to get their Sand Swayze on.
