  • Summary

  • This week the Rabbit Fighters revisit a dreamworld of magic: Tempe, Arizona! In the 80's! Why, it's the Coen Brothers' second film, Raising Arizona!

    Its a madcap story about a convict (Nicholas Cage) who falls in love with a cop (Holly Hunter), cleans up his act and marries her, settles down to experience the "salad days", but things quickly spiral out of control when they discover they can't conceive or adopt. And so they decide to kidnap one of the Arizona Quintuplets (as one does).

    Is it all a dream? Is Nicholas Cage actually good in this? Are spherical balloons funny? Join us, won't you?
