I like films that are completely ludicrous. Sometimes i just want to shut off my brain and watch a film that shows me a little nudity and shit blows up. Here are 5 films that some may consider trash but i consider gold!
5. Stone Cold
Hey,anyone remember Brian Bosworth....Former Seattle Sea hawks linebacker who had a small film run. A lot of people might recognize the Boz as one of the redneck guards in the remake of The Longest Yard. I like to remember him as a bad-ass cop who gets blackmailed into infiltrating a biker gang led by Bishop from Aliens. Crazy one liners and over the top violence make this film a must.
Here is the reason to watch this film. Watch Boz kick the shit out of a biker all while rocking a Kentucky Waterfall.
4. Action Jackson
What can you say about Action Jackson other than the fact that Carl Weathers is a supreme bad-ass. Watch this movie and then try not to argue that fact that his character Dillion in Predator should have not only taken down said Predator but also have made Arnold his bitch. Another film filled with glorious 80's music and bloody sadistic violence. I love it.
LOOK AT THIS SHIT!!!!
3. The Punisher (1989)
Anyone who knows me is aware of my fascination with the man mountain know as Dolph Lundgren. He attended the Royal Institute Of Technology in Stockholm Sweden. He received a masters degree in chemical engineering. He then was awarded a Full Bright scholarship to MIT. He also is a 2nd degree black belt in karate and can play a wide range of musical instruments. He can speak 6 different languages and at one time portrayed the definition of my childhood known as He-Man. I feel as though his film was marred by a hokey script and lazy writing yet he still managed to be a pretty good interpretation of The Punisher. Again more late 80's Velveeta with some crazy violence. Word of warning, be careful about what you say of Dolph.... He is smarter,tougher and better with the ladies than you. You might come home one day and find him giving the rails to your girlfriend, he then will kick your ass all while waxing poetic about cold fusion and playing his own musical score to accompany said beating.
2. Hard Target
In my humble opinion this is not only one of Van Damme's most enjoyable films but also a great intro for John Woo into US film. Although Woo will never achieve in America what he did overseas this is still a reminder that the man has style.
1. The Perfect Weapon
Why has Jeff Speakman not had more roles. The dude has charisma and a crazy martial arts background. If he showed up in expendables 2 i would literally shit a brick. I remember this film fondly because it was when a child under 17 or 18 could get into a R rated film without an adult. Ah.... Good Times.
