Sorcerer has a ten minute long sequence of a truck driving very slowly over a bridge that's easily one of the greatest action scenes in movies
Man its amazing what director's were able to do back then; then Michael Cimino had to make Heaven's Gate and kill that dead.

yeah, my post was intentionally ironic. I described the scene in the most technically accurate but boring way, and then said it was an amazing action sequence, which is just as accurate as my misleadingly boring description.

Irony.

I don't think I have ever watched a Rocky movie all the way through. Saw some of the highlights and that stupid robot. Him ending the Cold War was pretty lol.

That's Rocky 4, it's great. They play the match in Russia and the Russians start cheering for him in the end and Rocky's American exceptionalism wins the day. The movie LITERALLY ended the Cold War.

When Mike says he loves "schlock" Rocky 4 is the absolute pinnacle of schlock. I've never seen a movie that is its equal.

I watched 365 movies in a year one time and I never watched a rocky movie through either.

I've seen Over the Top twice though if that counts

The HitB with the box office predictions is so funny because Mike is extremely wrong.

He predicted Beauty and the Beast would profit $100M.

He was off by a full billion.

And Wonder Woman certainly did not flop.

Yeah Mike really underestimated how much women would fork over dollars for bad movies that pandered to them.

Even if you've never seen a Rocky movie, put on Rocky IV right now. It's 4th of July weekend and it's the best movie ever.

Saw Baby Driver tonight and am looking forward to the HitB on it.

Me personally (heh), I loved it. The action staging to a rhythm especially. That was fantastic, but the whole thing was great.

The main mystery for their HitB is how Mike pronounces Ansel Elgort.

I'm euroscum (well more :ussr: really) and saw at least three of them. The first one is a cinema classic by any measure, Creed is very solid too, and the other one I remember was IV where Apollo Creed dies. That really disturbed me as a small kid, and I was probably too small to appreciate all the cold war stuff at the time, so I might check it out again. Also haven't seen Balboa so far.

Nah, he proceeded to tell me about some Transformers mobile game where you can play as Optimus Prime from the cartoon, which was better than the movie.
