I haven't thought about this movie in a while, but has anyone seen Jacob's Ladder?

It's a pretty scary mind trip. The first time I saw it as one of the most intense movie experiences I ever had.
Subsequent viewings lose a lot of that effect, of course.

Boy, it leaves you with a lot of questions.

It is a very scary mind trip. It's a very cool and creative movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes scary movies. I once tried to show it to a girlfriend and she made me turn it off after ten minutes...he he.

Didn't Elizabeth Pena & Tim Robbins have sex in the movie? She was his girlfriend wasn't she? I haven't seen the movie but i remember seeing previews for it back in the day. Elizabeth Pena is attractive. I saw her in Gridlock'd movie with rapper 2Pac & i saw her in Rush Hour with Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker.

Isiah, you crack me up.

I knew before I even looked at your post that you would mention sex.

By the way, Elizabeth Pena was very good in the movie Lone Star also.

With that scene I'm going by memory here, so I'm not 100% positive.

But Tim Robbins is a Vietnam vet who is having all sorts hallucinations and freaky experiences. So I think in his scene with her he was having some sort of freak out. Which didn't make it very sexy. I know in one scene Pena is dancing with someone at a party and Robin sees part of the guy morphing into a snakelike thing slithing around her body.

I don't know, I'd have to see it again, but it is not very sexual in the usual sense. To compare, that scene in Angel Heart is more erotic, for lack of a better word.

Jacob's Ladder is a mind trip.
I suggest you watch it in the dark, alone, and be ready to be wigged out.

I went to imdb.com & saw that Eriq La Salle & Ving Rhames are in the movie also. I didn't know they were in it. I don't think i wanna see this movie either. I don't like scary nasty flicks with a lot of blood & gore.
