Title: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: claws on December 04, 2021, 01:22:41 PM (https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617KIXy5ilL.jpg)
Plot (IMDb): 90s Action Stars stumble onto Santa's Summer Beach house! G-rated family-fantasy directed by David DeCoteau. Starring Gary Daniels, Daniel Bernhardt, Kathy Long, Cynthia Rothrock as Mrs. Santa Claus and Christopher Mitchum as Santa Claus. A group of people drive through a mysterious fog ending up at a posh villa/spa owned by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. It's their summer vacation house. No martial arts fighting, only one intense game of croquet scene. Worst Christmas film ever? 90s action stars cast against type, directed by one of the worst directors ever.

What cocktail of madness was that??? (https://i.imgur.com/n65Ls2Y.gif) (https://lunapic.com) Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: zombie no.one on December 05, 2021, 05:38:23 AM how can a 2 minute trailer drag so much
Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: indianasmith on December 05, 2021, 09:23:08 AM That looks SOOOOOO bad!
Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: chainsaw midget on December 05, 2021, 09:57:50 AM Their list of "the toughest action stars in the world" leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm reading the cast list and thinking "Have I even heard of any of these people before?"

I'm reading the cast list and thinking "Have I even heard of any of these people before?" Cynthia Rothrock was the Queen of Martial Arts in the 1990s (https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=385x10000:format=png/path/s1ca4e52793e469e2/image/i3e16442ab46b4d6d/version/1592738736/cynthia-rothrock-in-polizeiuniform-vor-blauem-hintergrund.png) Her signature movie is Undefeatable (1993). All her films are bad, but at least she got to show off her crazy good martial arts skills. Gary Daniels has an impressive resume of bad martial arts movies as well, but just like Daniel Bernhardt he never crossed over to mainstream like Jean Claude van Damme did. Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: ER on December 05, 2021, 12:03:04 PM I don't know what you guys are talking about. That looks charming.
And the acting..... Is. So. Natural to... how people. Speak. Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: LilCerberus on December 05, 2021, 01:05:22 PM So, they took a bunch of low budget action stars & tried to cast them in a dullarama????
Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: claws on December 05, 2021, 01:38:35 PM DeCoteau made 22 movies in this house, including Santa's Summer House
(https://i.imgur.com/Jvkoxzjm.jpg) 1807 Latigo Canyon Road, Malibu, California I can see why DeCoteau is still making movies. He just doesn't care they all take place at the same house :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: Allhallowsday on December 05, 2021, 08:32:37 PM I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: LilCerberus on December 05, 2021, 09:01:13 PM Uhmmmm, so, does anything "happen" in this movie, or do they just sit around the living room talking????????

Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: claws on December 06, 2021, 06:50:43 AM Looking at Cynthia's IMDb page I'm surprised that I actually rented more of her movies back in VHS days other than Undefeatable.
Undefeatable (1993) No Retreat, No Surrender 2 (1987) Martial Law (1990) Martial Law II: Undercover (1991) Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: claws on December 10, 2021, 03:12:48 PM Coincidence?

If so... makin' no budget trash pays WAY better than I thought. :D Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: claws on December 15, 2021, 01:03:06 PM I don't believe it was his own house, but he was allowed to film there. I think it was sold recently.

Your reactions are underselling how bad even the trailer is. The one thought that kept up in my mind the whole three minutes of the trailer is that these are the best parts of the movie they are showing us to sell the movie...right?

Having worked on as many films as I have, yes, that is exactly what they do with a trailer. :teddyr: Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: chainsaw midget on January 18, 2022, 08:35:36 PM I took the reactions of you guys watching just the trailer as a challenge...

this looks amazing. any remember that gary Daniels movie where he went from being shot at from a helicopter to somehow taking over the helicopter? the most insane action scene of all time imo Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: Trevor on January 30, 2022, 04:06:36 AM "Cynthia Rothrock was the Queen of Martial Arts in the 1990s" I would definitely dispute that this looks amazing. any remember that gary Daniels movie where he went from being shot at from a helicopter to somehow taking over the helicopter? the most insane action scene of all time imo Is "Rage" perhaps the movie you're thinking about? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114224/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_30 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114224/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_30) Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: Rev. Powell on January 30, 2022, 11:43:47 AM "Cynthia Rothrock was the Queen of Martial Arts in the 1990s" I would definitely dispute that Who do you think was the queen of MA in the 90s? Rothrock was in the most movies featured on Cinemax by a long shot, at least. Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: RCMerchant on January 30, 2022, 12:39:42 PM Cynthia Rothrock ? 80's- yes. 90'? I would say Lucy Liu.
I know this clip is from 2003- but Lucy Liu is #1, for the 90's. http://youtu.be/OLvz5E61UNs (http://youtu.be/OLvz5E61UNs) 1970's- has to be (for me), Angela Mao. Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: claws on January 30, 2022, 01:24:36 PM Lucy Liu? She did supporting bits in 13 movies in the 1990s, none of them had anything to do with martial arts.
Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: lester1/2jr on January 30, 2022, 04:27:56 PM trevor - that must be it. quite a feat
rev- I guess. I never got into American martial arts movies. my roots are strictly HK Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: RCMerchant on January 31, 2022, 07:17:45 AM If they made a sequel titled SATAN'S SUMMER HOUSE with the same cast and crew- I'd watch it! :thumbup:
Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: RCMerchant on January 31, 2022, 08:04:47 AM Lucy Liu? She did supporting bits in 13 movies in the 1990s, none of them had anything to do with martial arts. I'm sure your right. I don't know all that much about martial arts movies Title: Re: Santa's Summer House (2012) Post by: kornula on February 16, 2022, 03:19:47 PM I actually broke down and watched the whole thing during December.
All I can say is....Thank god for "Brain Lubricant"! |
