158: "Miami: The Land Of Cockfights" - Stick (1985)

Burt Reynolds is Ernest "Stick" Stickley in Elmore Leonard's Stick.  Directed by Reynolds, this 80s action movie is pretty decent (and available on YouTube) except for the tacked on love interest, which is the reason we watched the film.  We pulled 5 timers club member Candice Bergen out of the hat and she shows up about 40 minutes in to have sex with Stick and then she promptly exits the movie.  It's not her fault, nobody can resist Stick.  If you don't want to have sex with him you either want to kill him or be his best friend.  I'm a little surprised that the albino assassin didn't try to make out with him.  After a drug deal gone wrong, Stick loses his best friend and plots revenge on those responsible usually resorting to his favorite method, lighting people and things on fire.  Enjoy!
