Kid Creole

 Against All Odds is a 1984 American neo-noir romantic thriller film directed by Taylor Hackford and starring Rachel Ward, Jeff Bridges and James Woods alongside Jane Greer, Alex Karras, Richard Widmark and Dorian Harewood. 

A remake of Out of the Past (1947), a film in which Greer played the femme fatale, this film's plot is about an aging American football star who is hired by a mobster to find his girlfriend.

The film's soundtrack, nominated for a Grammy Award featured songs from Big Country, Kid Creole & the Coconuts



Production notes

  • The film featured two cameo appearances by stars of Out of the Past on which the film is based: Jane Greer, who played Kathie Moffat in the first movie, plays Rachel Ward's mother (Greer held the infant Jeff Bridges in 1951's The Company She Keeps in a scene with his real life mother, Dorothy Bridges), 

  • and Paul Valentine, who played hood Joe Stephanos in the first movie, played a councilman in Against All Odds. ['Beau' played 'Obie'- which perhaps links to Diamond Obie -the PONZI SCHEME? that Father Lloyd got embroiled with-to His cost-who knows? but Ralph makes an appearance in this Movie]

  • Jeff Bridges' age and appearance in this film was used as a reference to re-create a 35-year-old version of him for the characters of Kevin Flynn and CLU in the film Tron: Legacy (2010)
