Tonight is one of the two or three nights a year where my wife will take my daughter and spend the night with her mother, which leaves my boys and I alone. We do what any guy left alone would do, we drink a lot of soda stay up late and eat a bunch of junk food. We also watch some "guy movies", which are usually bad.

We mainly watch "guy movies" guns, explosions, Sci-Fi, etc.

Tonight's movies are:
Deadly Prey
Space Hunter: Adventures In the Forbidden Zone
Expendables 2


What would you suggest for future nights?  Keep in mind my oldest is 12 so nothing with too much skin. If I have to tell the kids "don't tell mom" we're not watching it.

BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (cheesy classic)
GRAVE ENCOUNTERS (genuinely scary found footage film, but LOTs of language!)

No Retreat, No Surrender (1985)
Little Monsters (1989)
Cloak & Dagger (1984)

Three South African 'classics' for you:

THE DEMON  :buggedout:
NUKIE  :tongueout: :buggedout:
LASER MISSION  :buggedout: :twirl: :tongueout:

Too much skin in The Demon, sorry  :tongueout:

 :teddyr: :teddyr:

Too many saggy panties too.  :wink:

GYMKATA
I'm pretty sure there isn't any skin or swearing in this one.
What did your kids think of DEADLY PREY?

Well, Ya gotta have a Toho flick. I'd go with GODZILLA VS. MEGALON.

Also...
the MST3K of THE CREEPING TERROR if ya have it. Gotta teach 'em riffing at an early age.

My kids (ages 5 and 10) saw Joe Dante's "Small Soldiers" on TV recently and they thought it was a riot. It's an action movie about... action figures!!

They loved it! We started counting together when Dalton was beating Thornton with his own arm.

Tremors
Patton (very manly, that one)
Doom
Dredd (which is actually astonishingly good, although it might be too adult)

Lol they are working on it.

The Trinity movies with Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer!  I haven't watched one in a while, but I don't recall there being bad language or nudity, just lots of fightin', shootin', dirt, and bean eatin'!

There's a movie on Netflix instant play right now called Hercules agains Karate which (I think) is a knock off of the Terrence Hill/Bud Spencer movies, but it's really really fun!  And manly.

Anything with tits and explosions.

OVER THE TOP

Stallone, Arm Wrestling, + big convoluted Father/Son bonding storyline... and (iirc) no naughty bits!

the 90s version of the The Punisher with Dolph Lungren.

The entirety of the '80s Schwarzenegger canon.

Two of them are amazing. Predator, which is still one of my votes for the perfect action film, and Total Recall, which is pretty gonzo for the era.

Then watch The Running Man, which is pure '80s cheese.

You could then watch The Terminator, but that's a little better well done than most of the others, and its darkness is more disturbing. That and it has nudity. (Then again, Total Recall has that three-breasted prostitute.) But I don't think anybody should deny any young man the Terminator and the Predator.

The rest of them, eh. But I grew up watching these films. I saw them all when they first came out and I was born in 1978. Classic.

If you want to go into full irresponsibleness mode, watch Robocop. Still one of my favorite movies. Way too gory and violent for any kid to watch, so they say.  I saw it when I was ten. I love it more today then when I saw it then.

Rocky 4 is a good one to watch, it's pure cheese.  Also, the training montages are the best.  If you want a really bad movie that they might like, try Yor: The Hunter from the Future.  It's got lots of fighting, explosions, dinosaurs, and other things.  If you want a good Godzilla movie you could try Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974), it's got plenty of blood, action, and monster fights.

If you want some better movies, Batman movies should go over well.  Batman (1989) or any of the Dark Knight Trilogy would be good.

Last time I saw that is when it came out in VHS.

We've watched Commando and Preditor before. Running Man is a great idea!

LOL we watched that one before. Great film, they loved it!


That sounds like it has everything!

Let me clarify the nudity bit. I don't mind a flash of boob, but let's try to avoid sex scenes.  Like the shower scene from Starship Troopers was fine, triple breasted whore from Total Recall was alright. Just nothing drawn out.

How could you leave out Commando?

Well considering that I'll throw MIAMI CONNECTION into the mix.

I hope you don't mind me saying that you are the coolest dad ever.  My son is only 3, so he doesn't share my interests yet, but I've always told my wife that I cannot wait until he and I do this as well...

Yes, TREMORS! Love that series, even the sequels...well, not so hot on #4, but...

Doesn't seem like I could watch those with my kids.  Am I wrong?

I think we could do 1 and 2, after that is where even I start to lose interest.

You would absolutely need to tell them, "don't tell mom."  I should have read your original post more closely . . . I glossed over the part about young kids being involved as "the guys!"

 :buggedout:

I agree with this 100%.  The reason Arnold is a big star is the action hit after action hit in the 80s.

He said he was going to do it last... but he lied!!!

I'm just thinking of bad films I loved as a kid. Killer Klowns from outer Space was way up there, I could not tell you how many times I rented that out.

Have they seen The Monster Squad? Again thats another favourite of min as a kid.

They love that movie!


Why did I not think of that before?!?! That was one of my favorite movies!  Thanks!

Absolutely. A great suggestion.

the film was hard to find on vhs and even dvd until recently.  I think that killed the cult appeal.

Ok, the boy's and I are going to have another "Guys Night".

I'm thinking about some Kung Fu (Shaw Bros) or some Godzilla flicks.

Any suggestions?

SUPER INFRAMAN
It's a Shaw Bros movie, but not really kung fu.
GODZILLA VS MEGALON
I think your kids would like either of these.

The Goonies
Godzilla vs. Gigan
The Heroic Trio (may be too gory though - depends on ages you're talking about)
Voyage into Space (the Johnny Sokko film)
Son of Godzilla
Gamera vs. Guiron (Attack of the Monsters)
