Percy the Pimp receives a beat down
Act of Vengeance — or, as it's more obnoxiously known, The Rape Squad — is a bizarre and confused mess of a film. It plays up its feminist elements, but, at the same time, is insanely sleazy and gratuitous. In other words, it's a must see.
Screaming fighter from Sister Street Fighter
Sister Street Fighter offers a plethora of increasingly outrageous villains for Sue Shiomi and Sonny Chiba to plough their way through. My favourite from the line-up is this nunchuck-wielding screeching loon.
Steven Seagal is bad at laughing but loves his guns
While Seagal is not all that great at laughing, he knows and loves his guns. He proves this by delivering a rambling, clearly adlibbed monologue filled with fun facts and gun-praise to a few bemused cronies.
Final Score (1986)
Final Score is a film on a mission. A mission to deliver more punches, kicks, broken bones, dead stuntmen and exploding houses than any other movie, and I think it might just have succeeded.
The best fight scene in cinema history
I now know, having only seen six minutes of The Instructor, that it is the greatest film ever made. Watch as karate king Bob Chaney delivers some of the most laboured kicks and punches captured on celluloid.
Seagal destroys a restaurant
In this infamous sequence from The Glimmer Man, Seagal annihilates a restaurant, its occupants and a cannoli, even going as far to make a concluding smarmy gag about his handiwork to what must have been a very confused person on the other end of the phone.
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.
