I like it when I don't notice a shot is a oner until most of the way through it.

Just watched Code of Silence. It's is a decent action film full of "Hey it's that guy !" Character Actors but it is let down by the fact that it stars Chuck Norris. And while Chuck is quite good at kicking he is a very bad actor and about as charismatic as a bag full of doorknobs so he's just this weird void in a film full of much better actors. Still a fairly solid film and like a lot of films of that era it's wonderfully crusty and sweaty and all the locations feel rundown which adds to the grittiness.

Doesn't hurt to have the fantastic dive from the top of the L into the river. Yeah all the dudes diving off stuff were a highlight. Especially the train stunt.

Snowman_McK posted:I never really liked that Deadwood fight. It seemed to come from the school of 'realism' meaning 'people are bad at fighting' I mean Deadwood is set in the 1870s when dodging blows had only recently been invented and all the cool martial arts wouldn't leave Asia until almost a century later.. It was all very goofy.

Holy poo poo Fatal Termination (1990) is crazy. Not only are many of the stunts downright amazing some of them are actually immoral. They dangle a small child by her hair out of a moving vehicle. In several different close-up and wide shots.

Yeah I suspected the arm "holding" her was being assisted since there's no way it was just the dude being that still and straight but she was still just barely off the ground and very obviously not very happy about it.* The token white guy who dangles her is my favourite character in the film. Looks like a Carny Hulk Hogan classic big buff dude the hero doesn't seem to be able to hurt. *Though with kids who knows. Maybe she had a blast and is just a really good actress who was still being endangered.

Makes it sound like its basically a European equivalent of Sword of Doom, the classic samurai film that starts with the hero murdering an old man for no reason and then gets worse from there. I need to check it out.

The first film is old enough that it might as well be from the 1940s to modern kids from a cultural standpoint. 5 is a good start.

I appreciate that action comedy not based on any IP or franchise is a thing again but I also feel like The Fall Guy would work better with the same central concept, a stunt double has to hunt down the star he's doubling in the Hollywood underworld, would work better as a neo-noir thriller.

I was on a few hour plane ride to another country earlier this year and started watching John Wick: The Final Chapter as soon as the entertainment screen opened up and I still missed the last 15 minutes.

I would hope that he isn't a monstrous child rapist like Kinski.
