Under Siege is fun, and without it we probably wouldn't have The Fugitive as we know it (Harrison Ford was impressed enough with it that he recommended Andrew Davis as director, and Davis in turn brought Tommy Lee Jones on board) edit: oh hey, forgot Davis did Above The Law too, i remember that being probably the best Seagal vehicle Uncle Boogeyman fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Oct 17, 2023 |

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Under Siege is fun, and without it we probably wouldn't have The Fugitive as we know it (Harrison Ford was impressed enough with it that he recommended Andrew Davis as director, and Davis in turn brought Tommy Lee Jones on board) I only just recently saw Under Siege for the first time after watching The Fugitive for the 96864th time and reading that above fact. The stripper/lady sidekick character is horribly written and Seagal is Seagal but Tommy Lee Jones is having an absolute blast in the role which made it pretty entertaining for me. I didn't know Everett McGill was the baddie in the sequel, I'll probably have to watch that now too.

The Exp4andibles could have a whole video on how clumsy it is. Even cool moves executed by top notch stunt performers are undercut by poor editing and cinematogrpahy. It's tragic how much talent is on screen contrasted with how mediocre the results are. If you want a sense of the minds behind it, they make up for the loss of Terry Crews by giving Randy Couture more dialogue, a man creepy and uncharismatic by the standards of UFC fighters. trevorreznik posted:How the hell In The Line of Duty 4 has an absurdly absurd number of fight scenes. Seriously, there are so many, most of them barely connected to the plot if at all. It's one of the worst films i've seen except for the fight scenes which are, of course, top notch.

Lol I can't quite tell how big that boat is supposed to be but something about the scale of the details makes her look enormous Like on the DVD commentary she'd be like, "Yeah, so one day on the set of Transformers, Optimus showed a bunch of us how to be twelve feet tall and gyro-stabilized, and that's what I'm doing here." "He made us swear never to tell Shia. They did NOT get along."

Invalid Validation posted:You’d think that those movies would be easy layups but they end up loving them up every time. It's an aesthetic/design problem the way I see it. If your over the top action movie is gonna be a greenscreen fest because of budget concerns, you need to lean into that. Take the movie to some colorful settings, give the audience some fun stuff to look at on those greenscreens instead of just drab browns and grays. The whole aesthetic of The Expendables movies holds the series back from being a lot more entertaining than it is. I'm not sure why Stallone seems to think that's the look that signifies a classic 80s action throwback, which I thought is what The Expendables is supposed to be.

I mean a lot of 80s action movies had no budget and we’re based in a building/LA. I just think Stallone probably has too much control and he’s not exactly a good writer/director.

Also probably worth pointing out that Stallone didn't direct or write Expendables 4. I'm sure it was his baby in most ways but he hasn't been behind the camera since the first one

It is very real and I'm pretty sure there's another scene in the movie that's a similar editing nightmare because it's clearly the villain fighting a stunt double with separate Seagal reaction shots cut into it. The same reaction shots, multiple times. Sometimes reversed.

I'm showing my children various classic 80s and 90s action films. Today's film was con air and I have several observations. The film is actually very funny when i wants to be. I didn't realise dave chappelle was in in it despite watching it several times before. The theme music is epic and nic cage is ripped as gently caress.

I love the part in Equilibrium where the police come to get the wife. Bale immediately destroys them while being in his drat pjs. Really sold that clerics were so dangerous even without a gun.

Snowman_McK posted:Truly great martial arts require two. Watching someone, no matter how talented, style on people miles below him does eventually get stale. It stops feeling like a fight and just like they're running up the score. Jackie Chan and the Raid guys understood this, where even random mooks would show a hint of skill, throwing a cool kick or punch before being countered in a cool way and kicked out a window. One of the coolest little bits in the Raid is the drug lab henchman who can actually stand with Iko and trades an extremely sick combination of punches before being taken out. Reminds me of the bit from Who Am I where Jackie Chan fights a takewendo and more general karate dude. I had so much fun watching them do their thing and wondering how Jackie was gonna beat them (the answer is desperately and incredibly).

mobby_6kl posted:Speaking of Stallone, happy Rambo day everyone (which was two days ago)! You ever think about how good a series of Rambo films could have been if they'd bothered to feel like the same universe as the first film? I showed Rambo 2 to a friend a couple of years ago and, seeing it through fresh eyes it's...simply not very good. It's not that it's silly, it's that it's just not very well made most of the time. Most of the action is bland and what isn't tends to be clumsily executed, there's very few good lines of dialogue and, most jarringly of all, no one in the movie knows how to stand or walk. Except Steven Berkoff of course. Everyone else just looks...weird on camera. They'd been told about humans and how they moved, but had never seen one before.
