Vernon Wells would definitely be a requirement.

Agree on the NES music. It's so simple, yet it doesn't kill the ears. Gotta love the music.

Yeah, stay away from the TOTAL RECALL NES game. There are a lot of better ones. Like DARKMAN:

I picked up a FC Twin (they play both NES and SNES games) last year and have been taking quite a nostalgic journey for the last few months. Some games hold up surprisingly well while others don't.

I'd personally like to see a special attraction where fans can recreate the climatic sword fight from "Marked For Death". Basil Wallace comes in dressed as Screwface while Jimmy Cliff music plays all over the place.

Basil Wallace will have to be at the lowest point in his career for that to happen. You would pay 5 dollars and go into a bounce house with a disco ball with a foam sword and you are encouraged to hit him in the head and groin. And not only would that Jimmy Cliff song play but that other song that is featured "I can't get no JUSTICE!!! Unduh dis system!"

That would be a great attraction. The whole thing could be videotaped and personalized for each person. You would have to sign a waiver before doing it since its real knives and monitors you can shove your opponents head into.

KEEP THE FAITH, (YOUR NAME HERE)!

This is the closest thing I could find to an action movie convention. Sadly it has not been updated for 4 years.

I think they'd also have to set up a meet and greet on the other side where two Jamaican stand-ins introduce Tony DiBenedetto to you at a bar set-up.

"JIMMY FINGERS!!!!!"

Anyone who fucks up the handshake is thrown out of the convention.

If we need a way to weed out the fakers who show up, the non believers, a simple question should be asked at the door.

'What does it take to change the essence of a man?'

CHOOSE YOUR ANSWER CAREFULLY.

You could narrow it down and just have a Seagal convention. All the tables where the actors were from his main movies would have huge lines, and all the actors who showed up from the DTV era would be bored and alone. But it would be great to have a b-movie action convention if only the chance to meet A-list (in my eyes) celebs like Peter Jason Steve Kahan and Al Leong. I would lose my shit if I saw Al Leong. And I would literally shit if I saw Steve Kahan.

I actually own the Darkman game. I need to get a system fast so I can finally play it. I've had it for several years.

This is one of the best ideas ever. Whoever chooses to be Ryback has to utter the famous "We're puppets in the same sick game." speech. That should be set in stone as requirement.


Lets also add in the hand slap game from On Deadly Ground. You can pay for only three chances, or if they're real sick bastards they could play "no limits".

How much would those fringe coats go for?

This convention would be the greatest of all time, no doubt about it. Plus it's one that can run year after year because we have an unending supply of B-Action supporting actors and minor characters!

Actually I bet Tarantino would show up as a guest, but he'd be busted at the door for failing to answer the essence question correctly.

You could have a THE SUBSTITUTE autograph table with Tom Berenger and Ernie Hudson. Once Ernie Hudson came to a convention in ghostbuster gear.



There would also have to be a place where you could buy colonial marine armor. Even though I'm sure it would be hundreds of dollars.

And some digital download doolally where you can get "YO FUCKNUTS" as a ringtone.

That has to be the ultimate 2 collectibles. That pop art version of Senator Trent that's hanging on the wall in the end of Hard To Kill. That, and those Arius posters seen in the background of the Val Verde streets.

When you enter the convention you can hear R. Lee Ermey say "I want you to protect this entrance like it was your sister's cherry, Tonto!"

Every now and then we could have Ermey walk through the con with a group of men dressed as mercenaries while he says his speech on how badass Forrest Taft is.

Yes, upon revisiting this one the other night, I couldn't believe the racism that McRae was dropping. It was like they wrote the part for a white chief and just didn't bother to change it. It didn't register in the same way as say the black cop torturing Gooding in Boyz N The Hood did. It just felt wrong.

I've been thinking about catching Seagal's Flight of Fury. Any good scenes I should look out for?

Remember reading an article about the Director complaining about how Seagal was a complete asshole during the production, so it kinda sparked my interest in this flick.

I've heard Flight is one of Seagal's lesser DTV flicks. Is it up to Attack Force or Today You Die level of badness?

FLIGHT OF FURY remains the only flick of his I haven't seen, unless you also count CLEMENTINE. Keep thinking Spike or USA will run it but so far they haven't (or if they did I missed it). Vern's chapter on it didn't exactly make me want to rush out to see it.

Juts finished up APOCALYPTO. Wasn't digging the first half. The march of the captured Mayans through the jungle just seemed to go on and on. They could have trimmed that stuff a bit. I'd say right after the solar eclipse is when it starts to get good. A real brutal chase flick. Sort of reminded me of RAMBO at times in how savage it got, and how there was no redeeming qualities for the bad guys at all.

Good work from the dude who played Jaquar Paw. My man threw a hive of wasps at those jerks. That brought my heart much jubilee.
