Best of the Worst: A Very Cannon Christmas II

- Ho ho ho, it's that time of year again. The time for RLM to recycle an old gimmick to diminishing results! Merry Christmas or whatever, let's watch some Cannon films! Action, sorcery, and terrible fashion awaits as the group watches Avenging Force starring Michael Dudikoff, The Barbarians starring The Barbarians, and Breakin' 2 starring a bunch of people who should be embarrassed of themselves. Happy Holidays!
- Zábava
The great irony of Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is that if they had just let the evil Land Developer build his shopping mall, today they would have an even bigger abandoned building to break dance in.
Rich Evans really should have been in that video
Damn, your mind works on a different level.
That could have been the Breakin' reboot. The original cast meets up with a new group of characters in the now abandoned mall that replaced their dance hall, and teaches them how to do cool moves.
Break dancin went out of style about twenty years before malls did…
@@audiothief which means it's the perfect time for Rich to start his body popping career
The dopamine hit I get when I see a new RLM upload should be considered a class A narcotic
01:06 Now imagine the Hit i got from not only seeing there is a New Video but also hearing Rich speaking German
Waves of euphoria causing spasms
Need my fix!
Can
I actually cheered
That barbarian movie is like when your friends play your “serious” dnd campaign
In terms of DnD campaign, "Barbarians" are when the group cancelled the game, so the GM grabbed a bottle... and then some of the players still showed up anyway. And then everyone was just goofing around, while passing the bottle around the table.
That's precisely it! "Guys i've toiled countless sleepless nights to write a perfect dark fantasy campaign! There's mystery, really heavy moments, political intrigue and tough choices. What are you playing?" " I'm playing Grrrrrrr he is a barbarian and an alcoholic that farts a lot" ".... ok and what about you ?" " that's funny, i' m playing Bonebreaker an orc barbarian that never washes and is a pyromaniac. "...ok, why not,i guess...what about you Billy?" " I' m playing a way of the Sun monk.." " Ok, that's different.." " ..his name is Son Goku, he eats a lot and travels the world in search of a mystical relic called "the dragon pearls". Also i'm a were-baboon but that's a secret
@@Eisenwulf666 You left out the psychic robots, the humanoid dragon that wants to be a musician, your kleptomaniacal thief buddy who is going through his fantasies of robbing everything vicariously, the drama queen, the rules lawyer, the chain smoker.
@@GoodAvatar-ut5pq and, if you play on a virtual tabletop, the " guys i don't know where to click to(insert a thing he did 9999 times)", the "i'm literally watching the tv and playing on my phone,loudly" guy, the "i am still using an IBM laptop from the 80s in 2023" guy, the " i want to use this weird subclass that isn't supported by the app we're using, is that ok?" (bonus points if he gets bored after 2 sessions), and many, many more fun characters!
@@Eisenwulf666 How many cleric hit points did your armor class have?
"Anyone who builds a McDonald's...I don't know, that shit's delicious."
I will never stop laughing at this.
Best part
"That was our only copy of Elf Bowling"
Don't worry I've sent five more.
Ugh! I always *_knew_* you were an overrated burger place!
Are you why they have so many copies of Ninja Assassin?
LMAO! I haven't thought of Elf Bowling in a decade it seems. I loved that stupid game. I remember it came out around the same time as Rocket Bowl.
User name checks out
one for each guy, classic
As some who has lived in Louisiana his entire life, hearing Mike say "Is it a bug? Is it a fish? I don't know. Throw it in a pot." had me dying. lmao
"We'll eat it in a brothel."
Friend of mine - a "full-bleed Cajun" - told me Cajuns would anything they could put into a pot that wouldn't crawl out & some critters that could.
Lol my dad's side.ofnthe family is all Louisiana swamp trash and I love it. Like I literally couldn't understand what the fuck my grandpa was saying half the time it was a mess of French and just straight up gibberish lol.
Rain brings the gators out...
@@vengeanceforcatalonia8935 When I lived in the French Quarter, I used to drink at this bar called Fahey's. It was catty-cornered from a hotel, so a lot of tourists would drink there. An older gentleman from the Houma area would come into town from time to time, and he'd always come by Fahey's.
I'm from rural Mississippi and have a pretty thick Southern drawl. I have to put a little effort into making sure I don't go "full country" too much with flatlanders.
Anyhow, me and this old Cajun guy sprung up a drinking buddy friendship over Cajun musician Jo-El Sonnier and would spend hours talking about this and that.
One night I noticed the bartender staring at us and asked her what she needed. She said, "I've been listening to you two for the last three nights. What language are you talking."
The old Cajun guy said, "We country, cher, das all."
I was absolutely obsessed with Breakin and Breakin 2 when they came out. I was a preteen growing up in Alaska and I managed to find a breakdancing class to take. I even wore a bandana tied around my leg. My moonwalk and robot are still second-to-none.
Just subbed in hopes of seeing you demonstrate these skills in an upload some day haha

You sound like an absolute legend.
40:00 where the barbarian brothers are rapping on a Japanese TV show, the text that pops up reads: "A commercial was placed here". I got a hearty laugh and finally was able to use my Japanese language degree. Thanks RLM
No doubt about it
I was about to ask!
Of course Jay of all people has "What are you doing to my cat?!" stuck in his brain, he thinks about it every time he goes to sleep. Goodnight, sweet cats.
Glad I’m not the only one who missed that bit of pathos. 😂
Cat dead. Details later.
Watching Mike struggle to remember the year a Star Trek movie came out after years of obscure Star Trek trivia is fucking priceless.
Yeah. either the dementia or the rampant alcoholism must've finally caught up with him to forget something so basic.
As a living pointless trivia machine with no ability to remember dates or years I can relate to the struggle
All the Kurtzman Trek he had to watch destroyed his brain.
@@donwald3436 Yeah, I didn't consider that. It would be far more destructive than dementia or obscene amounts of booze.
Gotta grow out of childish interests eventually
I took an art class in college with a former professional break dancer. He said he quit because the head-spins were making him go bald.
Amazing comment 💯
this type of thing is why I always make a point of checking the comments
well,at least he got the hair off his ass
I’m surprised Jay didn’t mention how the “dancing on the ceiling” scene was filmed in the rotating room from Nightmare on Elm St
We have finally reached the stage where random bots pretend to be Mike stoklasa, what a time to be alive
I heard they also used that same room to film some of the the scenes from The Fly as well
Did the same room later pass on to Lionel Richie?
You are so special
um, 44:04, everyone. George Lucas stole that idea for Queen Amidala's haircut in Phantom Menace
Two buff dudes, Santa knew exactly what Jay wanted
Still living it up at the Manhole, isn't he?
@@CanaleAV That's where he has his pepperoni pizza pie peephole.
He still has little Indian inside of him.
Haha it's 1991 and gay = funny hahaaa
Nice one, boss!
@@OptionalBean It is funny.
Put "We'll eat it in a brothel!" in the list of great Rich Evans lines that nobody appreciated
18:15 for everyone
That and the Bubba line got me good.
I thought it was "or leave it in a brothel". Not complaining either way.
@@Imighthaveseenyouinh Then the *next* guy gets to eat it in the brothel!
He was on fire. I also appreciated when they asked “ how will Turbo top the broom scene “ ?, Rich piped in “a vacuum ?” Can’t top Rich Evans for the comedy gold.
The ultimate double feature, "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" into "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock", is truly the original Barbenheimer.
It always adds such a nice layer that Jay cares about these movies and enjoys them enough to know and remember all the people that make them
Cannibal Holocaust is a movie that most film aficionados know for a few reasons. The movie is banned in a few countries, and Deodato was almost charged with crimes based on the content of his film. I won't spoil if you're interested in experiencing it, but the movie is extremely brutal and offensive to most who view it. The practical effects are really good. I first saw stills from the movie in Fangoria magazine.
Cares about films. That's just nice.
It also helps that Jay's memorization faculty has not yet been ravaged by age and alcoholism
It doesn’t make them fucking suck ANY LESSSSSSSSS GOOODDDD DAMN IT.
@@acidset and what memory he does have isn't overloaded with Star Trek trivia
That Kanye graphic insert was perhaps the best special effects I've seen on this show
Yep, I thought it was actually part of the movie for a half a second.
Why is Kanye The Gimp? What the fuck is happening?
it's YE
@@Zarnubius But is it Yee or Yay?
Trick question: I don't care! Because Kanye has trouble respecting others, I have a hard time respecting him.
I saw this comment before it happened and knew it was coming and it still made me laugh my ass off
The guys were pretty close with the Barbarian Twins schtick. They didn't like the script, so they decided to play it like two gym guys who go back through time. The crew didn't know what they were doing because the didn't speak English.
Huh that's interesting!
The movie would've been better if that's what actually happened
That still doesn't explain the kiss...
@@korganrocks3995 its a European thing i think...🤷♀
@@korganrocks3995 They did it so Disney could edit it out for the foreign markets that say "No Homo".
As a German I must say "Barbarians" is a cultural treasure, particularly in its German dub because in that time our dubbing companies did not give a shit and did whatever they wanted with the dialogue so upped the comedy like they did with various Italian western at the time.
Ah so like the English dub of Ghost Stories
@@Emily-tv1iz YESSSSS! Got to do a shoulder check before you quote the ghost stories dub these days...
@@atillathefaux5162Touch me harder!
@@atillathefaux5162oh?? Tell me more about said ghost stories?
@@Level1Hera Generic Japanese anime about kids solving ghost mysteries. Sold like shit in Japan, so the studio got in touch with an American dubbing company and said "Carte Blanche. Make it sell, we don't care how." The dubbing studio went absolutely no holds barred nuts with it, effectively an Abridged Series except they were paid to do it. It's glorious.
"Just fill the hole, hole filler."
Hearing Mike struggle to remember Turbo's name and having it come out as Zoops had me almost in tears lmaooo
Gooba and Zoops 🤣
Out of three content creators I've seen review The Barbarians (Spoony, Jason Brant), RLM are the first to realize the villain is defeated by forgetting he'd been missing two fingers 15 years prior to the scene.
I KNEW I had watched a review of that movie before but I couldn't remember who did it, but you saying that Spoony did one immediately confirms that it was him.
Jason Brandt was where I was exposed to the Barbarians. I then immediately went and bought it off Amazon
It's clever and insanely stupid at the same time!
Ahhh the god old days of the spoony one. I liked him back then. Simpler times
That's the beauty of Rich Evans, "the perfect combination of clever and stupid"
Fun fact Matt Hunter is the name of the character Chuck Norris played in the last Cannon Christmas. Avenging Force was supposed to be a sequel to Invasion USA but Chuck Norris turned them down. So this is a sequel inside of a sequel and helped me forget that I'm all alone this Christmas because no one loves me
im alone this christmas too. wanna spend it together?
Glad I read this comment before commenting that myself... even the part about being alone and no one loving me.
You are among friends my dude. Strange, so alone but we are a community in this RLM video. Gives one hope.
I love you for the fun fact? Take care friend. ❤️

I'm fond of "The search for Curly's gold"
@@MarkusNapp In that movie, there's two treasure trails if you what I mean.
Michael Dudikoff has been making movies nobody watches for 42 years as per IMDB. That is some career! I remember watching Avenging Force like over and over when I was around 10. He was also the American Ninja which was a super bad ass movie series for 10 y/o's. No idea how copies of those tapes found their way into my house but it was an honor and a privilege to have seen them. Hats off to Michael Dudikoff.
You watched *THAT* movie, over and over, when you were 10? 😨
That Kanye insert in the dinner scene was glorious. Good work to whichever of you did that. Masterful work.
30:46 that RLM knows how to stay current for a couple of old Wisconsinites on their death beds
That edit was seamless!
RLM needs to turn that into a clip.
Is there an explanation for why he's dressed as the serial killer from Santa Claws?
@@thomaslynch5313 I have no idea and this is just my guess but maybe he was trying to disguise the fact that it was him?
At the local, family owned, movie rental place when I was a child, my brother and I saw a new “Ernest” film. We were so excited that we read the box wrong. We cheered “ERNEST RIDES A CANNON! ERNEST RIDES A CANNON!!” Much to our disappointment we were corrected by our mother after we had rented the film that it was actually “Ernest Rides Again.” We were bummed but we knew we would like any Ernest movie so we watched it anyway.
Wouldn’t you know it? He rides a goddamned cannon in that movie. You could not contain our joy.
Ernest. "Earnest" isn't a name. Know what I mean, Vern?
It was the best dumb plot ever.
It's a Christmas miracle!
Of course Jay has the phrase, "what are you doing to my cat" stuck in his head for 26 years. Where are those 100s of cats Jay?!

Elf Bowling being broken reached a wider audience than the actual movie.
For the first five seconds, I thought Mike had finally come into his elderly age, but then I realized that man looked far too jolly to be Mr. Stoklasa
I reckon Mike will be at his happiest in life as an elderly, it’s his lifelong dream to become one after all and to live all their misery and suffering
@@rhetiq9989 his obsession with elderly is almost as strong as his obsession with his best friend Rich Evans.
I can't believe the Barbarian brothers didn't get a WWF contract offer from Vince McMahon.
It's hard to get a wrestling gig after you do a film where you kiss your brother
@@dmd8552 That could have been their gimmick. The two wrestling bros would secretly loved each other. It would have been the only thing that could make early WWE more homoerotic
@@AsiaDanceScene One is heel, one is face, forbidden romance both incestuous and political. There are special "eat my ass" matches starring the Barbarians forbidden to show on TV.
it's really an anomaly... their physiques are ridiculous, they act better than other wrestlers we've seen in films and they don't have a personality of a brick... they would have been fan favourites for sure...
There was no shortage of roided up muscle men in the WWE and other federations back then. Also, being big ain't enough: you need to go through proper in-ring training in order to become a wrestler, which is hard AF and not everyone is willing to do it.
28:36 BEST OF THE WORST FUN FACT: Rich Evans is repeating exactly what mike just said because he wasnt listening.
Lmao that's how I first heard of RLM I think, a dementia compilation in which they would just repeat what someone had JUST SAID
Good times.
naw hes trying to explain that's it's inexpensive and not a feat of filmmaking
The mcmanara brothers are just future rod and Todd

The biggest tragedy of not watching Breakin' is missing the Jean Claude van Damme cameo, dancing awkwardly on the beach
The "Other" credit for the Barbarian Brothers are 2 deleted scenes for Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers (1994). The scenes are included in a featurette on the director's cut of the film. The scene consists of Mickey and Mallory Knox (played by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis) breaking into the brothers' home and cutting off their legs with a chainsaw. The brothers both do the exact same grunt during this scene that they do in the hanging scene at 9:43 of this video. The second scene they appear in consists of journalist Wayne Gale (played by Robert Downey Jr.) interviewing the brothers, now amputees in wheelchairs, saying that they don't blame Mickey and Mallory Knox for injuring them because it's made them stronger.
The more you know!
That Nukie tease gives me trepidation because I always thought if they ever watch Nukie, it will be the actual final episode of Best of the Worst.

I've never heard of this show until about 7 days ago. I've been binge watching it non-stop even when I sleep LOL literally I can't stop watching. I've watched nothing else for the last 7 days🤣🏆
Welcome to the club. It’s the most inexplicably rewatchable media in existence 😂
The sensation of exploration, the hazing of Rich 'The sexiest man alive' Evans, Jay's..quirks. Mikes impending death by alcohol poisoning and how they make it just so wholesome!
Best channel on CZcams
Chronological order was a whole different experience once I started. It's incredible watching all the inside gags and references, the names they choose for characters, and the ebb and flow of alcoholism they've all been through (except for Rich, who is of course a devout Muslim).
Now, just acknowledge that Rich Evans is our god and you'll be fully accepted as part of our cult...er, community.
I'm gonna believe that Ruggero Deodato's death 8 days after this video came out is the newest case of the curse of the worst.
And Paul Reubens as the shaman guy RIP Pee-wee
The valley girl from Barbarians is Eva Larue. She was in CSI Miami for years as Boa Vista. I recognized her immediately bc I watch wayyyy too many reruns of CSI. 😎
Oh shoot, that's where I know her from! That's up there with Uncle Phill in Beastmaster 2!
I also recognized her but couldn't put my finger on it so I did some searching. In 1991 Eva was a co-host on _Candid Camera_ with Dom DeLuise. I mostly remember Dom was painfully unfunny.
_Barbarians_ was her acting debut. Not bad all things considered LOL
I recognized her from this because she’s got a fucking hot face.
She wasn't in any Star Trek, so - meh

It's just another funny New Orleans stereotype
Electric Boogaloo is a dance style created by Bogaloo Sam in the 1976, that was later renamed Popping. In the Breakin movies they dance Locking and Popping, the two funky styles developed during the hip-hop boom, so it has perfect sense that the sequel is called like that.
Like the movie is an icon of the hip-hop culture and inspired a lot of people, including myself, to start dancing.
How does one get the name Boogaloo Sam? That’s a story I’d watch
Breakin' 3: King Tut Style
@@Emily-tv1iz Boogaloo was the name of a funky style danced on the 60s
It is insane how much this show has shaped my brain. I'm sure I say "What're you doin' to my cat?" at least three times a week".
That barbarian twins movie has massive early D&D energy.
Both the Sword and Sorcery type movies of the 80s and D&D came from the same source of the plethora of swords and sorcery fantasy novels of the 70s, 60s and 50s. So yeah, totally.
@@sophiaperennis2360 Oh no doubt. Edgar Rice Borroughs was writing his John Carter of Mars books way back in 1917. But the main inspiration behind D&D book wise were the later pulp novels, particularly the Dying Earth books(Vecna is an anagram of Vance Gygax included to honour him) and these kinda derivative movies were often more closely based on the equally derivative pale immitators to things like Dying Earth, John Carter, and Conan. Which were more prevalent in the 50s, 60s and particularly 70s.
@@sophiaperennis2360 I've only read one of his books, and it was like 20 years ago by now, but it certainly stuck with me. I really should check out some more of his stuff!
Just popping back in to say Vance is a legend! Vancian magic is still embedded in my brain as one of the coolest ways to conceptualize an arcane force.
If you listen to the 1900 hotdog podcast (Seanbaby from Cracked) - they are obsessed with the Barbarian twins & actually ran a D&D version of it
Just wanted to say thank you to RLM for putting all of this out for free. These videos help me through bad times and make good times even better.
Thanks again, guys.
I bet Mr. Wiggles learned his King Tut Style at Miracles.
He was apparently in a group called the electric boogaloos.

Being from the South, watching Mike butcher N’awlins and then not only not apologize, but dig in with a bone saw and just start ripping it to shreds made me angry and then gleefully happy.
I saw both Breakin’ and Breakin’ 2 in the theaters. I was born in 1974 and grew up in Northern CA in a culturally diverse community. These movies were for me. All of us had cardboard at home to work out our dance moves and Hip Hop was life. These movies were very important to my young life. Just dance, man! Dance!

I love how the Barbarian brothers just go all in, medieval new jersey meatheads totally in character giving 200%. Just a damn entertaining movie if you ask me.
I finally have something relevant to say about an RLM video! I met Shabba Doo aka Ozone about 10 years ago when he came to our dance studio to teach a workshop. He passed away 2 years ago, but he truly did, I assume purely to spite Mike, just dance, all the time, forever.
I'd like to think he's still dancing in the afterlife, just happily doin' whatever moves come to mind and enjoying that his body is now incapable of exhaustion.
Mike's New Orleans's accent is a perfect impression of Steven Seagal.
I used to love The Barbarians as a kid. I used to watch it every time it came on HBO. Still remember some of those scenes. I could be a genius, if my brain didn't insist on saving old terrible movie scenes.
When I was in eighth grade, my mom took me to my aunt's in Atlanta for Thanksgiving. One of my aunt's friends had a son my age who said to me, "you're from New York and you can't breakdance?" This episode makes me understand that Breakin' II may have set unrealistic expectations in the zeitgeist of the day that people from certain places just walked around breakdancing all day every day
Chemotherapy is spending hours sitting down with an IV inserted. Rich absolutely could have gone to treatment and screened the films at the same time!
And they have the audacity to critisize B-movies when their own writing has plot holes like that!
“That was our only copy of elf bowling” was so damn funny

Breakin 2 is basically a kung fu movie. But instead of everyone knowing kung fu, everyone knows how to dance.
EVERYBODY IN UGANDA CAN BREAKDANCE!
Nah, just doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
A high point in my high school was when Shabadoo and Boogaloo Shrimp, stars of breakin' 2, electric boogaloo came to my high school and did a breakdancing masterclass. For weeks afterwards the hallways were littered with people flailing around on cardboard.
I actually cried at the fact the bad guy forgot he was missing fingers so he couldn't shoot the crossbow. Holy shit
I happened to be at a literary event years ago for the promotion of a friend's book and I got to sit next to this exotic, very tall, matronly lady for dinner and we have a chat and it turns out she's a professor of Pacific mythology and literature. I mention my background in gaming and game design and she mentions she played in a fantasy movie. Turns out she was a model in the 1980's, did all the catwalks in Italy, featured in commercials and played the part of China/Evil Lynn in the Barbarians ...
Jay instantly catches the freaking Ghetto Blaster throwaway character, but nobody catches that the lead of Breakin' 2 is also the lead of Ninja 3: The Domination.

Probably skipped his diabetes medicine too.
Rich you're wrong. Wrath of Khan came out in '82, Search for Spock was '84. I can't believe such a huge mistake was made by such an avid start wreck fan.
I hope someone got fired for that blunder.
If only they would fire Rich's laugh.
@@skwest true story, my mom heard me listening to RLM and heard Rich's laugh and said something like "*She* has an annoying laugh"
Rich's laugh is my favorite guest star
Rich is 60 now so give him a break
I've been using RLM as a friends simulator for quite some time, but this episode had me legitimately laughing a lot. The comedy really connected with me. Thank you.
14:30 Rich is bang on about why Christmas is when it is - without it, December is just January.
January is the worst! At least in February I get to spend a couple of weeks in denial before I realise that my memory of February weather is actually March weather...
And November would just become February
I felt very proud of myself when before Jay revealed who it was, I knew who the black "what are you doing with my cat" guy was. It was something I knew and I clapped!
See, I was the other way around, where when I saw him in that episode I was like "Oooh, its the fucking dude who runs Miracles!"
Finally, you've started watching Michael Dudikoff movies. My favorite b-movie action hero. Please do more.
Jackie Chan WAS in Enter The Dragon. He was an extra that Bruce Lee fights in the underground facility scene. It was a few years before he busted out with Snake Fist In The Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master, so he was still doing bit parts in other kung fu flicks at the time.
Ever since the first RLM cannon Christmas came out I’ve re-watched it every Christmas holiday. And now we have part2?? Thank you!!
Oh wow. When I was a kid one of my favorite cheesy movies was Think Big, starring the Barbarian Bros as down on their luck truckers who wind up helping a child genius on the run from an evil tech company that wants to use one of her ideas to make weapons. Classic stuff. At the time I had no idea they were called that, and I never saw them in anything else.
The entire Barbarian Bros section made me really interested in seeing their other work. They may have made a new legion of fans today.
...But that does beg the question. I wonder what these these two grossly overmuscled freaks look like now that they're elderly.
@@halowaffle25 I shudder to think...
@@halowaffle25 Well googling for the answer brought sad news, David Paul died in 2020 at age 62.
@@beavinator but they actually looked really good for +55, especially considering their steroid use. But it sure takes its toll on the organs. And they still wear these weirdly cut shirts from the 80s on newer pics haha
Cool. Thanks for sharing (just kidding, no one cares)
I'm psyched that they decided to do another Cannon Christmas special. That first one is easily my favorite of all the Christmas episodes they've done, if only for the part where Charles Bronson obliterates the lead villain with a bazooka 😂
Completely unrelated but nice username
So does Chuck Norris in _Invasion USA_ in the same episode.
Komninos? Like the Byzantine dynasty? Whats the story behind the name?
@@rufushale8612 there's not much of a story to tell, I just like Greek history (I'm not Greek)
1:10:58 “We never really see Earth in Star Trek, but I imagine this is what they are doing.” The truest statement about Star Trek that has ever been said.
That "non stop daaancing" phrase gave me PTSD from the Plinkett Ghostbusters review
Tim if you are reading this, we all appreciate you very much thanks for being in this show whenever you can. I can tell you are a very cool guy and your sense of humor blends perfectly with the gang like no other recurring guest.
1:13:25 I love how no one even noticed Rich Evans’s joke. Meanwhile I’m dying laughing
YO! That one got me too! I died for a good min!! HAHAHA
I can’t understand what he’s saying. „Let’s use a vacuum“??
Had to watch it 3 times before I even registered it...!
"We could use a vacuum..."
"Why is there a slimy hole in the...."
The final movie when Cannon was at its peak was 'Firewalker' with Norris and Gossett, which was filmed roughly the same time as 'Avenging Force', but got released in November. They had to default their debts week before Christmas, since 'Firewalker' didn't bring the extra 2.5 million they were missing (despite being mildly successful rip-off of their own 'King Sol's Mines', with few random bits taken from 'Romancing the Stone'). Ironically, their "big budget" King Sol's sequel, 'Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold', was why they were in debt in the first place, but it came out (and was a bomb) after they already had to default.
Wasn't "Firewalker" a Steven King adaptation with Drew Barrymore? 🤔
@@mikeweber3685Nope. Firewalker's entire fucking pitch to Globus was "Two guys, a chick and their jeep on big adventure". It's a movie about Chuck Norris kicking guys and Gossett Jr. punching the guys Chuck missed. And it's gloriously bad, the sort of "instant classic" of shitty B movies.
Meanwhile, you are probably thinking about FireSTARTER, which is King's novel about a teenage girl and her relationship between entering adulthood (read: periods) and the fact she can now put things ablaze with her mind. Has two adaptations, one from the 80s, with the FUCKING EPIC soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. The music easily outlived the movie, to be frank. The story meanwhile became a template for this sort of plots (awkward growing up + supernatural or at least superpowers), so you've seen more than a dozen copycats in your life without even knowing.
It's a Wonderful Life is an example of a heroic property developer in a film.
I like how Jay just remembers the cat related dialogue in terrible movies
That’s what happens when you become a cat dad
@@Minam0 More like that's what happens when you have thousands of cat murders on your conscience.
I wanna hear Rich Evans talk more about Deep Space 9 dammit! That Gul Dukat reference was golden, and the actor who played him did such an incredible job!!!
Yeah brilliant baddie Gul Dukat. And yes, more Rich and Mike Star Trek talk!
Yeah Mark Alaimo did an excellent job as Gul Dukat one of the best star trek villains!
I had success this year. I got to play this whole episode in the family living room at mum's house and everyone enjoyed it.
I just got through the Avenging Force and god damñ the stunts, explosions, sets and locations genuinely impressed me. That stuntman that fell off of the roof (did Dudikoff actually do that stunt?) was so gnarly, I want to know if he got through that without breaking anything!
49:55 "this movie is not fully thought through" the keen insight of Rich Evans there.
Man if those barbarian brothers were playing gym guys sucked into a fantasy world and they didn't think it was real, it would have been a fantastic idea
Alien From L.A.- the Cannon film starring Kathy Ireland- does pretty much this. Maybe the Barbarian Brothers caused them to improve their concept!
The word "dancin'" was spoken a few times throughout the Breakin' 2 review and Mike didn't make a single Ted Danson reference/joke. I admire the restraint he obviously had exercise in order to not make a Ted Danson joke.
"No, not that Little Dancin' Man! I'm talking about that Little Danson Man!"
@@Seantendo he’s an android, he’s a danson machine.
Regardless of the developer building his mall, Miracles still needed $200,000 worth of repairs to be a safe building. The show still needed to go on.
I love how the message of these old movies is that urban decay should be allowed to continue unabated, and if you do anything other than let these old building continue to rot somehow YOU'RE the asshole.
