Hottest of hot-takes: Predator is still great, and while some of the 80s action tropes come off cheesier than the dairy aisle at Costco (the bulging biceps when Arnie shakes Carl Weathers' hand near the start

Might have to do Commando again soon.
Yeah, definitely re Predators. If you can get past the slightly odd casting of Adrian Brody as an action hero then it's actually a very decent film.Animalmother wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 6:05 pmConan is a amazing. The sheer silliness of it somehow works with great performances by Arnie and James Earl Jones.
Predators isn't all that bad, watched that last week as well and it's much better than I remembered. I never made it past the 30 minute mark of The Predator thought, it was so fucking bad![]()

I have just had to YouTube the film as in all the times I have watched it (many) I have never noticed that, or rather I think I have but never taken it inWrathbone wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 7:51 amCommando is the gift that keeps on giving. I must have watched several billion times before I noticed that in the scene where Matrix throws Bill Duke through the motel wall, not only do the couple having sex in the other room have a camera set up next to the bed, but the woman is behind the man, doggystyling him. Have to wonder what led them to that innocuous creative decision back in 1985.![]()

During a recent interview with Bristol Bad Film Club, Steven de Souza, who wrote the initial draft of Commando 2 (which ultimately never got made) was asked about the whole Die Hard legend. It turns out, that's all it ever was, because as he tells it, there is absolutely no way Commando 2 was turned into Die Hard.
