Poor Bastards of Cinema: Another 48 Hours (Part 1)

 A quick return to Eddie Murphy.

Let's look back at our first Poor Bastard in a while, this time for the somewhat-forgotten Sequel.

In the Film's opening, some bikers meet at a Desert Bar.

When 2 Cops show up, one of them recognizes one of the bad guys.

They are slow on the draw and get knocked out a window by gun shots...somehow.
The other Cop is taken out.

However, they aren't the real victims here.

The Bartender hides during the action, thinking that he needs to call for help.
However, he's met by the other Biker looming over the Bar.

Ruh roh!
Sure enough, he doesn't want him calling the Cops...er, more of them, I guess.

To quote Chris Claremont, 'Bang- you dead.'
In hindsight, the guy dealt with dangerous, usually armed Bikers all of the time.  He had to expect something like this.

The moral- stay off your phone.  It just might save your life!

Next up, a Poor Bastard so abrupt that it took me three tries to get my Screenshots.  It's that random and sudden.
