Crush on You

About This Movie

So, 'Crush on You' from '86 is this curious blend of action and crime, with a distinctly low-budget charm that you'll find hard to replicate. Shot in Hawaii, the backdrop adds a unique vibe—sun-soaked beaches and gritty alleyways create a stark contrast. The pacing’s a bit uneven, but that just adds to the film's rough-around-the-edges feel. You can tell they were working with limited resources, yet they made the most of practical effects that pop in their own way. The performances? Not exactly Oscar material, but there’s an earnestness that gives it some heart. It’s one of those films that you can’t help but appreciate for what it is—a slice of 80s action that doesn't quite fit the mold.
