Excessive Force (1993)
It's cheesy in the right spots and brutal when it needs to be. If you want to take a break from Seagal and Van Damme but still have a hankering for 90s action, Excessive Force is a worthwhile sidestep.
Roddy Piper’s second greatest line ever
What a blow that Roddy Piper, easily the most charismatic wrestler-actor of the 80s and 90s, has died at 61. Piper holds a special place in horror/sci-fi movie history for his role in They Live, but even in his less discussed roles he was a blast to watch.
How to open a movie according to Traxx
The opening of any film is important. It introduces important characters, establishes the story's world and its rules, and, perhaps most importantly, sets the film's tone. I'd be hard pressed to name film that meets that criteria better than Traxx.
Who Killed Captain Alex (2010)
Who Killed Captain Alex is a blast throughout its short length. And personally, I found it kind of inspiring. These men from the slums of Uganda use every resource they can to make movies and entertain people, no matter how silly they turn out.
Cynthia Rothrock destroys Richard Norton with a thousand kicks
Well, maybe not a thousand, but there's certainly an inordinate amount of kicking in this clip from Lady Dragon.
An unexpected headbutt
My favourite moment of bad movie lunacy in Raw Force is a lengthy party scene, which functions like a collection of nonsensical sketches. It's hard to pick out a single moment from it, but I thoroughly enjoyed this absurd headbutt.
Kathleen Wilhoite’s creative insults
Wilhoite pumps out some of the most gloriously creative insults I've ever heard. I can't decide on my favourite. It's either "dinosaur dork" or "jizzum breath".
Special Silencers (1979)
I've learned to expect certain things from Arizal: indecipherable plotting, terrible acting, hilarious scripting, ridiculous hair, sweat, comedy villains, funky music, explosions and insane stunts. And while Special Silencers delivers on all counts, it ups the ante by adding something new to the repertoire — Gore.
Drive Hard (2014)
Thomas Jane and John Cusack drive each other hard in Brian Trenchard-Smith’s latest action-comedy Drive Hard.
Catty martial arts
This scene features Cynthia Rothrock, US martial artist megastar, but the highlight is a fellow American, Jeffrey Falcon, who, for some odd reason, occasionally imitates a cat while fighting.
The Intruder (1986)
Rambu is about to go on his own personal mission to smash everything in sight. And by everything, I mean everything.
Screaming Mark “Jacko” Jackson and his magic smashing chair
King of Australia, Mark "Jacko" Jackson, screams at the world's shittest tough guys and then magically pulls a chair out of thin air. From Trojan Warrior and your nightmares.
