Before he made those films, Hill directed Hard Times which may or may not be influential :) - but it is one of my favorite Charles Bronson features. It features some memorable dialog (particularly from Strother Martin's Poe), well choreographed fights, and cinematography that captures the locations of the film to good effect.

Big fan of Southern Comfort also. I've owned just about incarnation of that film on home video media, including a pretty poor 4:3 Laser Disc. (The Blu-Ray release of this film was a welcome addition to my library.)

I always found it curious that Hill didn’t want to direct a horror film. He felt like he didn’t have the feel for it yet when you watch something like Southern Comfort, The Warrriors, you get the sense he would have done a great job.

Agree. He set up dramatic confrontations almost better than anyone at the time of Southern Comfort, Long Riders and 48HRS. Maybe he thought he couldn't better Alien. But also, I think he just liked to explore the film genres he felt most comfortable in.

I have not seen this movie in a very long time but it was also past time to add this to my library!
