Ryan Smyth Looks Like an '80s Henchman

Dog-bath-clothes_medium

My brother thinks Ryan Smyth looks like the violinist Dana dates from Ghostbusters:

2683-7175_medium

An excellent comparison (and I'm impressed by the obscurity), but I think Smyth looks a little bit more like Sully from Commando:

Sully really encapsulates the shittiness of Ryan Smyth, even if he doesn't look as much like him.  Alternatively, Smyth looks like pretty much everyone in Road House.  Or, one of the surfer bad guys from the Hollywood classic Three Ninjas.  Or, Point Break.  If you'll notice, all of these movies are from the '80s except for Three Ninjas, which, let's face it, feels like an '80s movie.  Ryan Smyth sucks.

Jesus Christ No Update:

I realized this morning while I was in the shower that getting Ryan Smyth will probably be the reason the Kings let go of Alex Frolov.  Then I wept like Ace Ventura when he found out Einhorn was a man.  Don't go, Fro.

Ah, Commando. I remember getting loaded with my friends and watching this scene over and over again.

There’s just something hilarious about how obviously fake the body is when it is released from the plane.

I don’t think they’re going to let Frolly go. My feeling is that instead of buying the ferrari and paying big money (trading Frolov, Johnson, 1st Rounder) Dean Lombardi settled for the slightly battered used car with a bad paint job that he got for real cheap.

If everyone is taking turns picking obscure 80's-movies Ryan Smyth look alikes...

Here’s my entry…

Fucking great work. That would make for a very distracting goalie screen.

Ha! Is that Neverending Story?

Very close, Nut. But try to think of the 80’s movie that Jim Henson did which did not have Fozzie the Bear or David Bowie in it and you’ll get the answer…

Ah. Thanks IMDB! I never saw Dark Crystal or Labyrinth. Neverending Story was my lone weird puppet movie.

My favorite person in that movie is Sir Didymus.

This is both horrifying and accurate.

Sully looks more like Gretzky to me than Smyth.

I’d love to join the party of giving 80’s movie look-alikes, but since I was born in ‘90, I can’t. Only movie that comes to mind is Ferris Bueller.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You suck at hockey... and life.

Welcome aboard, and glad you enjoyed it. Added your site to the sidebar, which probably will get some real attention later this summer.
