Here at the Cult Film Club we love the flicks we bring up on the podcast, but sometimes we love certain aspects so much that we feel that they need to be highlighted outside of the podcast to make it clear just how much we, well, love them. Case in point, R.J. from No Retreat, No Surrender. After we recorded the episode I immediately went to the internet to find as many R.J. gifs as possible so that I could share them when promoting the show. To my chagrin there was really only one gif that I could find (repeatedly) and all of the versions I found were pretty shitty. That’s kind of a travesty because R.J. (and the actor J.W. Fails that portrayed him) are rad and deserve way more appreciation.
So with that in mind I took it upon myself to gif-t the internet with 9 solid quality examples (in sweet giffy format) of why we love RJ so much…
How did I NOT think to strap a boombox to my bike as a kid?!?
Did we mention how much we loved RJ’s break dancing in the flick?!
He’d give Turbo and Ozone a run for their money. Also, Breakin’/NRNS crossover film expanded universe (jotting that idea down for the fanfic files…)
R.J. was also pretty rad in a Thrashin’ sense…
And I’ll always appreciate a guy who wears his Michael Jackson love on his sleeve (literally!)
RJ to MJ “Eat your heart out!”
RJ also has some pretty fly hair…
He’s also quite the prankster. A very homo-erotic prankster…
VERY.
Now, for good measure and because I was making so many other gifs, enjoy Scotty and his evil buds ordering lunch…
