True Lies (1994) is the kind of blockbuster they just do not make anymore. Huge stunts, practical effects, real explosions, and a perfect balance of action and comedy. Cameron at the height of his powers.

Christopher Nolan wanted Harvey Dent to feel like a true hero before becoming Two-Face. He chose Aaron Eckhart for his clean-cut image and charisma. Unlike many practical effects in the film, Two-Face’s burned face was created with advanced CGI.
