  • This week on Staff Picks, the team selects another Action Movie for the Staff Picks store, and debates the best car chase in history, whether action is the most problematic genre, and if Catwoman's scenes count as action at all. Thank you for shopping at Staff Picks.
    -------
    Welcome to Staff Picks, a brand new show from Cracked. Join Patrick Willems, Danielle Radford, and friends as they curate the greatest video store movie selection the world has ever seen. Every week they'll each pick a movie from one of the big four genres. Then between the four of them, they have to unanimously decide which movie earns a spot on shelves of their dream store.
    Thank you for shopping at Staff Picks.

    As far as car chases are concerned I think I got to go with "Ronin". Trying to get away down those super cramped old European streets in a tiny car with way more power then it should ever have! It's a fun one.

    • @thelittlehooer
      @thelittlehooer Před 3 měsíci +1

      The Seven Ups (1973) starring Roy Scheider is fantastic, and totally underseen nowadays. Directed by the same producer as Bullitt and The French Connection. The chase through New York is in the same league as Bullitt.
      Ronin, though, is the only real answer here. Never been equalled.

  • @1958PonyBoy

    The hands down winner is the original "Gone in 60 seconds".
    The entire movie is just a ramp up to the end which is a car chase that goes around the entire south bay of Los Angeles and is about 25 minutes long.
    There's even a scene where the stunt car accidently blows a tire and plows into a pole on a freeway and it was kept in the film.
    It was a low budget movie, to be sure, but no movie has ever topped that.

    Car chases are invariably best from older movies. These days there's so much CGI, you know it's all fakey-fake computer trickery. But back in the day, they had to actually do the stunt for real. Remember Roger Moore in _The Man With The Golden Gun_ where the car jumps the river and does a barrel-roll at the same time? No CGI, done for real. Or _Gone In Sixty Seconds_ - the original 1974 Halicki version, of course, where the budget was so tiny that the writer was also the director, the producer, the lead actor...and the stuntman. Or _The Italian Job_ (once again - just the original.) Or _The French Connection._ _Vanishing Point._ _Ronin._ So many...all so old. But these days, they're so busy trying to outdo what the last movie did, they've gone beyond the realm of possibility...which makes them seem more like Saturday morning cartoons than serious car-chase movies. F&F is a great example - the first one already made the driving sequences kinda silly, and every one thereafter has gone even further beyond believability.

    • @1958PonyBoy
      @1958PonyBoy Před 3 měsíci

      The original Gone in 60 seconds is the clear winner, in my book.

    As if people don't do the same thing (browse for an hour and leave without successfully picking a movie) when scrolling on a streaming service! I'd say it's more common in streaming than it was in-person, because you can't remember things you said "maybe" on as you scrolled past, or hold them in your hand while you continue browsing... Maybe if it was a faux-physical experience like you use a VR headset, to browse through a virtual video store and you could do things like remember where in the store you were interested or hold maybes in your hand...

  • @EugeneGM1
    @EugeneGM1 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Heat has an incredible action scene during/after the bank heist, but the movie feels more like more like a drama/suspense otherwise. Superhero movies are their own genre, I would not count Batman as an action film. It's closer to a horror film otherwise. Bullet is an older action film, and established the genre...but it is, well, older and less action packed. Police Story is an essential action film for sure...but I'd actually nominate Bullet, which is far harder to locate, and isn't talked about enough.

    Everyone is forgetting that Police Story has themes of acab. It ends with Jackie Chan murdering the evil cop for the sake of Justice, instead of following what the law and other corrupt cops tell him to do.

    I would have fought for Batman Returns. It is Queer, whips, BDSM, and found family. And I could not get Batman to win I would point out that Jackie Chan is worth 400 million dollars and has a homeless daughter that he refuses to help her get back on her feet.

    • @mc1993
      @mc1993 Před 3 měsíci

      Jackie Chan is 100% in the right. Illegitimate daughter Etta Ng Chok-lam wanted nothing to do with him. She was 18 and married 31 year old Andi Autumn. That age disparity isn't welcomed in any family, regardless of gender preference, unless one of them is fantastically financially secure. Instead, both had zero career skills, outside of being a failed influencer, and hoped social pressure on Jackie would result in a cushy life.
