Dick Tracy (1990) a Flop?
Slate.com has a story on the disappointment that was DICK TRACY (1990).
I remember being so psyched to see this when I was a kid. I was living in Florida at the time…I made friends with this younger kid in the neighborhood (I was 11, I guess he was probably 8?) who was excited to see it too. But he was too hyperactive. Annoying even. My mom and I were set to go, and he showed up at the last second wanting to go too.
I remember having my Dick Tracy watch and my Dick Tracy hat and my Dick Tracy shirt on before leaving. I had all the McDonald’s collectors cups and I saved all the scratch off game pieces with the characters and a scene from the story. (I still have those in storage somewhere).
Disappointing film, no doubt, but it was an exciting time as an 11 year old who was obsessed with all things Dick Tracy.
I came home that night and played Roger Rabbit on Nintendo into the early morning hours. Good times.
