Hit the video store again today. Got Eddie's METRO (after one of you cats recommended it) and THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN . And yes, Larry Bishop's HELL RIDE.
I don't remember liking it, but METRO was a surprisingly fun, action-packed movie. It's like BHC meets THE NEGOTIATOR. Eddie was pretty funny, and another example of his wanting to be an action hero like his old buddy Sly Stallone. Two thumbs up from Siskel & Ebert but still underrated.
Not that I've had much of a presence on here lately, but I'll be heading for vacation tonight. Going to hit up South East Asia for a few weeks. Hopefully I'll come back to a horde of great B-action news. See ya fellas!
Man, just the beginning where they're dragging the alien to the apartment complex is hilarious and had me laughing a lot. I knew I was going to be in for something special. Also "THIS IS TOO MUCH MADNESS FOR ONE TEXT!" Love how they work around the whole cellphone thing by having the kids have pre-paid phones and not having many credits.
Cell phones aren't really a factor anyway. These degenerates aren't going to call the police.
It'd be an easy movie to pick apart- how come nobody ever comes out of their apartments to see what the fuck is going on?- but it's too much fun for that kind of shit.

I am glad the girlfriend of Ol' Stubblehead clarified what she was saying and she isn't pulling a Peter Sellers and playing 5 different characters in the movie. What a unique threesome they have for the 5 wives so far, an underwear model, a model who happens to have ELVIS (no, not Fat Elvis) as a grandfather, and the daughter of Lenny Kravitz. Then again I am astonished that the movie appears to finally be happening.
As for the guy I spent an evening with April of last year, it's awesome to hear he's joining that movie. With that cast it sounds like something that Rene in particular will try to see sans pants.

Agreed. I've seemingly talked that film to death here, but I wish more scripts would be that tightly written and everything would flow together so well.

Awesome. Have fun. It sounds like a fun place to visit (I'd love to go there one of these years, as unlikely as it is); as long as you don't cause trouble there a la J.W. Pepper when he was there or end up sticking around there capturing snakes for people to use in snake-fights, I'm sure you'll have a good time.
Oh yeah, I'll definitely be seeing Machete Kills, and probably Fury Road sans pants. Then again, most movies I see I'm sans pants. It's more comfortable and it's summer. It's friggin' hot. So it works both ways.
Few buddy Action/Comedies as great as MIDNIGHT RUN. Love it. It was a breath of fresh air to see the lighter side of Bobby D. at the time, and it's still his funniest performance (well, maybe KING OF COMEDY, but that's some darker shit)
GOING IN STYLE to MIDNIGHT RUN was also a pretty good run for Martin Brest.
Movie's secret weapon: John Ashton as Marvin Dorfler

Wonder why we haven't even seen a teaser for TAKEN 2 yet?
I've to say that i liked Maggie Grace in LOCKOUT. She's come a long way since her LOST days.

Actually, he's the one that's tickling her at night. It might lead to the sad sight of her showing up at one of the Premiers and getting all the attention over the legends.
I watched Seagal's Attack Force last night and it has to be the laziest piece of crap he's ever made, it helped that my friend and I were slightly drunk and tired when it came on TV and we just couldn't be arsed to change the channel.
Seagal is once again in charge of an elite task force (it's always an elite task force) who celebrate a succesful mission by going to a local club to get drunk and ogle some girls, well, three of them decide they don't wanna sit around with a couple of old guys and head off to a strip club to find some hot european chicks and have a gangbang or something while Seagal and his buddy sit around trying to not look like sad old men ogling women. The three men find a hot asian woman and pay her pimp to take her back to their place and presumably take turns banging her, one guy obviously likes to watch while sipping his beer, then the asian woman kills them all in gruesome fashion. Seagal finds them and finds some kind of drug in the room, they haul in her pimp, who turns out to be some kind of wanky brit, so yeah, he's evil, after being interrogated by Seagal's buddy, he explains he's a scientist who's been testing a new drug called CTX which gives the user abnormal abilities but nasty side effects, oh yeah, and he works for some mysterious woman. Seagal get's his clearance revoked (officially it's because he's a wildcard with his mystic ways but we all know it was that blues album he released which was plain embarrassing to the top brass), a young biochemist Seagal was bang...mentoring decides to help him and let him know what he's up against (eurotrash with superpowers). The asian woman tries to kill Seagal's piece of ass but fails, I like that Seagal's martial arts training is clearly superior to someone who has superhuman abilities and it's never commented on, he's just Seagal and better than you, so fuck you. There's some plot about releasing CTX into the water system, the mysterious woman turns out to be a superhot chick with superhuman abilities but he's Seagal, I think she knocks him down once, then he sticks a knife in her head.
Seagal's voice would also get dubbed by a completely different actor at weird moments for no real reason, it's just weird and jarring and I really don't understand the reasoning behind it other than Seagal being so fucking lazy he can't even be bothered to provide his own voice for sections of the film.
I finally caught up with 21 Jump Street, and liked it. It's not a classic for the ages but there's a lot of good jokes in it, and it did turn me around on Channing Tatum. Maybe comedy is his real strenght because I think he had a good rapport with Jonah Hill; it genuinely seemed like they were having a good time.

Attack Force. Yeah, that's a not-so-gouda one... as in "cheesy, but not good-cheesy". That was the third in an unofficial trilogy, I feel, alongside Mercenary For Justice and Black Dawn in which the supporting characters are actually more interesting than Seagal or the Lead Villain. If the filmmakers had taken the Three Goofballs' story (dopey, horny Task Force Dudes alone in Europe looking for love and finding only Alien Murder Death Kills), there might've been a movie in there somewhere. Attack Force is in pretty much a tie with Against the Dark for Worst Seagal Ever as Seagal and his Elite Squad (yep, another one) of Vampire Killers wander around a building for 80 minutes of boring. But Ticker... Yesss, Ticker... That's an experience. Imagine Speed but without the bus. Or Blown Away but without the Boston. Or any bomber movie without the budget. Sizemore? Amazingly goofy. Hopper? Getting paid. And somehow in it's DTV b-movie way it still works. It's like a college film that got lucky. But the "more zen" Seagal shows up at least (not a lot of fake-Seagal voice overs). And he plays his blues. That alone is worth the dollar I paid for the DVD, right there.

Hell yes, MIDNIGHT RUN. Zero defects. A shiny diamond of action fun with good characterization. And don't forget BEVERLY HILLS COP in your Brest Worship. John Ashton should be in everything.
dude hallenbeck, Enjoy your...Trip, see you here before your next...Fall!
felix, You're right. So no trailers yet for...Dredd or Taken 2. I hope that both come out...This year.
Rene (Mr.Eko), You sure...(Mrs.Eko), would approve of your...Pants less attire? You don't want to make a...mess...uhhh things with...Vanessa!

It really is a terrible movie, and I love it for being terrible. It's really good for a laugh, and is a sad case of a movie that started out with promise (it was called Harvester and was about aliens.) then it got changed to just a movie about drugs. You can still see glimmers of the alien subplot in there. The "mysterious woman" is the "Alien Queen", the shifty eyes and the strange weapons are also a part of it.
Your take on the movie is great, Nathan. My (and my friend's) favorite line in the film is the over dubbed "I'll lead the attack force" line that Seagal has. It's such a lazily slapped together movie, but one I enjoyed laughing at.
Rene (Mr.Eko), You should be an...EXplorer! First there was...Ponce De Leon, Then there was...Sergio Leone, finally there is... NO PANTS De Leone the Trailblazing Mr. Rangel of B Action Movie Club!

Nicely done. Yeah, as someone who lives in Florida, I know what it's like to have to deal with brutal summers where it's not only in the 90's but it's also humid as hell. I tend to stay indoors as much as I can during this time of year.

Oh shit, you're right. See what I mean about me not caring about either Hemsworth? And I hope her terrible ass doesn't show up either, as funny as it is to wonder what she thinks about such a movie.
You know what movie I suddenly have the urge to see? MOVING VIOLATIONS starring a lesser Murray brother, Jennifer Tilly, Wendie Jo Sperber and the "Where's the beef?" lady. I thought it was hilarious at age 12.
Straight from Don May Jr.'s mouth (on Blu-ray.com) about why Amazon didn't ship a lot of Red Scorpion sets.
Quote:
Hello Everyone,
We were also wondering why AMAZON did not have the title on street date. We inquired with our distributor, and they told us that AMAZON had RED SCORPION on street, however they grossly underestimated the amount of orders they were going to receive, and were only able to ship a portion of the preorders.
They have since reordered the title twice and are slowly catching up.
Regards,
Don May, Jr.
President, Synapse Films
Glad to hear it's an underestimated rousing success!

Agreed. Then again, who knows if he'll survive in the second movie. He just may be cannon fodder for all I know.

I can't say I've seen that one before. But I laugh that it includes both Fred Willard and has what I imagine is a real small early role from... Don Cheadle!
Here's a pair of random videos I came across today:
I just found out about this movie recently. I haven't seen it but I imagine someone here has. It's 1989's One Man Force, starring the massive former football player John Matuszak, who unfortunately had an early death as he was a major party animal and a drug abuser. The movie also features Ronny Cox, Charles Napier, Flash himself (Sam Jones), Richard Lynch, and hilariously, one-hit 80's wonder Stacey Q. as-shock-a singer. At least from the trailer it looks to be a cheesetastic good time.
When I found that video I also found a video that just about had me speechless.
When you see a video that is titled LEE VAN CLEEF: YOU KNOW THAT I BE SEXY, that is an immediate watch.
It turns out, after a 20 second intro, it's various clips of him set to-Christ knows why-the song by late 90's dance act N-Trance (the same guys who did the dance version of Stayin' Alive) where they take Rod Stewart's Do Ya Think I'm Sexy and add their own lyrics.
I am astounded someone was demented enough to combine the two, but this is so strange I am happy I found it.

Not as funny as you remember. Still some good juvenile hijinks to be had. Lesser Murray is likable and funny here. James Keach sighting.
Oh God, I've seen that ONE MAN FORCE movie. Damn, between this and the COLD STEEL talk, it is seriously like a straight flashback to my youth.
Think I'll watch NICKEL RIDE tonight. Just heard of it about a month ago, starring Jason Miller. Supposedly some good 70's noir. Forgive me if it turns out I heard about it in here.

Hey, let us know how NICKEL RIDE is. I ordered the double feature disc that comes with Frankenheimer's 99 and 44/100% DEAD a while ago, but haven't watched either yet. I read a great write up on NICKEL RIDE somewhere, that's why I got it. Another interesting, underrated 70's Noir is Richard Fleischer's THE LAST RUN starring George C. Scott. I got it from Warner Archive. A pretty cool flick.
Went over to my Parents' house to hang out and chat, along with check what mail came in for me. My Netflix dvd of COLD STEEL I'll certainly be seeing it later tonight. Right now we're watching The Sopranos: Season 6 and seeing Vito in New Hampshire, and Tony beating the crap out of his Vin Diesel looking bodyguard.
Did anyone like the new GHOST RIDER? I was really disappointed by it. Not much over-the-top goodness, it was in fact pretty boring, and as much a mess as the first one. Cage is perfectly cast, so it's a shame there's so little fun to be had. I've said it before, but it looks like the first CRANK was a fluke.
Story doesn't make much sense, but I thought there was a good mix of mega-acting and regular acting from Cage. The thing I liked the most about it was Cage bringing his trademark tics and weirdness to the actual Ghost Rider character. Plus I thought Ghost Rider was much more successful as a special effect in Part 2.
Nathan's mention of the thing has had me obsessively watching this clip of Steven Seagal suddenly sounding like a bigoted elderly Italian-American, then sounding like himself again, and then going back to talking like a Robert Loggia/Michael Madsen hybrid:
Bad enough he has the Eddie Munster wig on, but the terrible ponytail that makes him look like Danny DeVito in Twins makes it even worse.

This is a favorite of a friend of mine's. Basically Police Academy with traffic cops, right?
I think I may have rented this one years and years ago. By the way, the "Where's the Beef?" lady is Clara Peller. I knew that without going to Google. Even funnier: if Burger King's Herb appeared in the film:

Get on Cold Steel STAT.
The Vito parts of season 6 are intense stuff, between the antagonistic relationship with the diner cook and his eventual fate.

Still have to get it at the Redbox. I need to see MEGA ACTING. Is there any from Cage?
I'm on record as liking Ghost Rider 2 as well. Some pages back I'm there talking about loving the SHOTGUNS WITH GRENADE LAUNCHERS and Cage ranting "HE'S SCRAPING AT THE DOOR!!!!"
I'll be getting the Blu-ray when it's a bit cheaper.

Amazingly I also remembered right away who the "Where's The Beef?" dame was, and I also remember Herb. Looking at that picture, he looks uncomfortably like someone I know, glasses and all! No, not a relative; just someone I know who happens to be an older gentleman, and no it's not a creepy relationship.
I only found out about that movie last night. I heard some more about it today and well, it sounds like something we'd all love. It's a total late 80's action film, with one-liners and a score that apparently echoes films like Lethal Weapon. They also take advantage of the fact that the star is a huge-and strong-dude, I'll put it that way. I won't spoil anything in the trailer for those who want to see the movie before they see said trailer. But I also want to see the film; sad to say it looks to be quite a bit more obscure than even Cold Steel so it'll be a bitch and a half to try and track down.
Can't believe we forget to commemorate this 25th anniversary on Tuesday:
Oh man, Hunter...what I wouldn't give to travel back in time for a that weekend of June 12th in 1987. I was not lucky enough to see this movie in theaters in its original run and like many my age caught it on Saturday afternoon movie showcases.
It is without a doubt my favorite movie of all time (at worst in my top 5 of all time).
One of my adult goals in life has been to catch it on the big screen at some sort of revival theater.
I hope Sly and Arnold's upcoming filmography lives up to their unparalleled career highs.
On a side note, I am getting more and more pumped for THE TOMB. I HOPE they have enough finished footage to show as a trailer in front of EX2. You KNOW the crowd would eat that up!
Clara Peller was in Shakes The Clown and was pretty hilarious. Looking her up, I had no idea she was on Sanford And Son, as well as being quite the "Blue Comedian", meaning her comedy routine was really dirty. I'll have to check out some of her comedy.
Fat Elvis, Ghost Rider 2 is...Spirited, and it Gloriously Revels in Neveldine/Taylor...Vengeance, albiet cut for the PG 13 crowd! Moving Violations is funny.
I watched Seagal's Attack Force last night and it has to be the laziest piece of crap he's ever made, it helped that my friend and I were slightly drunk and tired when it came on TV and we just couldn't be arsed to change the channel.
I was watching all of his films in chronological order and that was the one that made me stop. Haven't watched a Seagal movie since. I'll try again one day, because I've heard a few good things about some of his newer ones... but that one was awful. And I usually love awful.

I'd say a Last Stand trailer is a sure bet at the very least. MaybeBullet to the Head finally too?

I believe the new Ghost Rider would have been better if Neveldine/Taylor had written the script and if it had been rated R. I actually think Crank 2 is better than Crank, and I really like Crank. Gamer was pretty batshit crazy as well.
