Last post by chainsaw midget - Today at 09:25:32 PMShame. He never really had that much of a career, but he was a good solid performer in everything I did see him him.
Kinda weird how it happened right after they announced the new Buffy series was dead though.

Bad Movies / Re: Scary movie backstories
Last post by chainsaw midget - Today at 09:07:03 PMRoar, an early 80s adventure comedy, had an insane amount of live animals used in it's production, including an elephant and over 130 big cats (as in lions and such), and a huge assortment of large birds.
Because no other male movie star wanted to work with that many animals, the director and producer ended up starring as the male lead, with his wife and her daughter in supporting roles. It took five years to film, another 11 for production, somewhere between 70 and 100 cast and crew members were injured by untrained animals. A flood destroyed most of the set and equipment at one point.
14 lions and tigers (but no bears) also died due to illness.

Last post by indianasmith - Today at 07:27:01 PMSILENT RAGE (1979) - Chuck Norris is a small-town sheriff who has to deal with an unkillable psychopath whose wounds heal almost instantaneously due to some scientific experiments performed on him. Lots of blood, boobs, gunfire, and roundhouse kicks. About as B movie as a B movie can get! 5/5

Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 02:49:32 PMNot surprised to see Split Second is on tubi. I didn't have cable growing up so my knowledge of this area is a little limited. They have like 70 Dolph movies so...if I ever get the urge.

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 12:24:34 PMI really liked I COME IN PEACE when I saw it on VHS, probably in '91. I was 14, of course. I always enjoyed Brian Benben from DREAM ON - he's kind of a one-note dude, that note being "short king Jerry Seinfeld", though Jerry Seinfeld never played a reasonably tough cop in an action movie and was never an actual romantic lead (Benben had poop-tons of nekkid sex scenes on DREAM ON.......). And I thought Dolph was pretty legit for the limited range required of him in I COME IN PEACE, and he'd get better in later films. Dolph is okay by me. Plus the ending delivers the goods!
Question for Lester of anyone else who's seen I COME IN PEACE:
Have you also seen SPLIT SECOND (1992 or '93) starring Rutger Hauer?
Exact same movie - like - a beat-by-beat remake of I COME IN PEACE - same renegade cop played with an incongruous accent (Hauer instead of Lundgren), exact same comedy relief partner, same unnecessary hot girlfriend character tagging along illogically, exact same plot structure - it even ends in a sewer/underground! The only difference is that in I COME IN PEACE they're fighting a T-800 and in SPLIT SECOND they're fighting a xenomorph. Otherwise, carbon copy movie - even by the standards of the carbon-copy-happy late-80s/early-90s movie business.
