So the last movie of the night was the only one that everyone agreed in advance that we'd be showing. Dangerfreaks is a 1989 compilation of the best moments from BTS's 70's TV show by the same name. I don't know if I'll ever find that series, but I hope I do. Because this compilation was completely filled with badassery, most of which involved Grant Page.

I'm still completely in awe of that man and the things that he manages to nonchalantly pull off in this film. The craziest moments for me were (a) when he decides to hop over the restraining wall of the Empire State Building to get a "non-restricted view," and (b) a sequence where he free-climbed up a steep rockface. That latter sequence made my stomach very queasy.

The movie is basically a 90 minute celebration of manly men. I completely dug it, and the rest of the crew seemed to be of like mind.

It was an amazing end to BTSNAT. The film ended around 5:30 am, and then we ended up talking until 7 am. I was beat when I woke up around noon on Sunday, and was amazed to see that the Austin contingent had gotten even less sleep than me and already headed back home.

I can say without a doubt that BTSNAT was a success. Already looking forward to BTSNAT 2!
