A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

This was also directed my Seagal. A real steaming heap of a movie, but pretty damn funny.

That perfectly describes Steven Seagal as well. A real steaming heap of a man but unintentionally funny.

A movie so bad the studios basically went "hey Steven, how about we get you another director for your next movie?"

I don't think anyone could have foreseen just how lazy and bad his movies would get down the line, guy looked like he actually had a career ahead of him during that time but he's just completely meaningless if for getting mocked on YouTube and laundering money

Michael Caine was a gem in this. I loved the environmental consciousness pr commercial scene.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of the movie overall, you do have to give him some respect for his ending speech...

Wow, truth! Is that part of the movie? That's very progressive for the 80s.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is indeed part of the movie, very close to the end, if not perhaps basically the end.

He's got my respect for that 👍

It's a shame that basically nothing has changed.

Wild clip, and a wildly unexpected source.

I hate YouTube, and love the idea of Piped, but always have better success with Invidious.
