Megaman's Jockstrap: Jul 16, 2000; What a horrible thread to have a post.

The last one is 100% Demolition Man - Sly's cryogenic frozen body

The second one is the towel wrapped around Arnold's head from Total Recall

Is the third one the outfit of the "they're all CONNECTED!" guy from Total Recall? The Mars sergeant type that greets Richter when first arrives on the red planet?

I believe the fifth one is Arnie's vest from Commando

I have no idea on #1 and #4, although #1 looks incredibly familiar to me - I can't place it.

Is one Bullock's costume from Demolition man? I'm struggling to think of non Rambo movies with a bow and arrow. The Punisher maybe?

There's an auction coming up in Hollywood....I've never been so frustrated by my lack of obscene wealth. But let's play a game. What movies are these props from?

1.

2.

3.

4. [NOT RAMBO]

5.

And simply because I can't believe it exists:

6.

Do you have a link to the full auction? That selection is so baffling, I'd love to see the full listing.

3 is Colonel O'Neil's combat uniform from Stargate, although I probably wouldn't have recognized it if I hadn't rewatched the movie recently. Guessing 2 is Indiana Jones' desert wear from either Raiders or Last Crusade?

5 has gotta be Arnold's vest from Commando and 6 is obviously Stallone in the cryonic prison from Demolition Man, amazing.

Yes. It's definitely incoherent and often in pretty bad taste but by the end I was having a very good time. JCVD in two of his worst performances ever somehow adds up to something special and fun. He's both serial killer Tommy Wiseau and an actual puppy (seriously he even dry humps a prostitutes leg, to completion, and then is confused by the wet spot on his sweat pants wtf). Michael Rooker is apparently doing his performance from Henry again, just angrier and he's a cop instead of the serial killer this time. The action is a little sparse, but what's there is great, especially at the end. A good JCVD vs JCVD fight and that ambulance sequence is easily the highlight of the whole film. (Unsurprisingly. Ringo Lam can shoot the poo poo out of a car chase. Even this one that's not really a chase and is entirely confined to a parking garage). Between all this, and the specific sort of violence from the villain, it feels the most Hong Kong of Ringo Lam's US films. Though not really like any actual HK Ringo movie. It's just grimy and lovely enough and in the right ways for me to really like it.

Somewhat related, I also watched Burning Paradise, the Tsui Hark/Ringo Lam movie the other week, and at a few places it basically turns into a Mortal Kombat movie. And I love Paul Anderson, but they should have gotten Tsui Hark to make Mortal Kombat that would have been perfect.

Honestly the one time I watched Hard Target I was underwhelmed, I remember thinking it took way too long to get going. Granted it�s been a number of years since I watched it, it�s probably due for a rewatch.

It is a little slow to start, but then you get to the good stuff. JCVD punches a snake and uses it as a weapon and Wilford Brimly shoots arrows from a horse while running away from a giant explosion. That's, like, two of a million things that are nuts in that movie.

# ? Sep 13, 2019 16:51

midge: Mar 15, 2004; World's finest snatch.

Great guesses on the pictures and people have got all but the bow, which is admittedly, quite generic.

1. Bullocks costume in Demolition Man
2. Arnie's headwear in Total Recall to block the tracking device
3. Kurt Russel's outfit in Stargat
4. ....Hint : JCVD movie.
5 Arnie. Commando. Probably the item I'd most want from the thing.....along with Kaminsky's suit in Raw Deal.
6. Frozen balls Stallone.

Oh I forgot to chime back in, I watched Avengement the other day and it was pretty great. Some horrible loving violence in there. My only gripe with it was the initial relationship between the two brothers wasn't really explored so there wasn't much in the way of explaining how things were between them. Outside of that it was an enjoyable little film and Adkins kinda suits those silver teeth...

It's licensed...that's about it. In fairness, I've only been to about 2 others, but that's what I remember. I have a pretty low tolerance for public overindulgence and I can't remember feeling rage. Although, the showings at The Royal are way, way better.

I'm not sure if it was this thread or just Scott Adkins conversation the last few pages in general but I got done watching "Triple Threat" with Adkins, Michael Bisping, Michael Jai White as villains, and Tiger Chen, Tony Jaa, and Iko Uwais as the protagonists. That was a drat good movie and let Adkins a little more of a scenery chewing villain. Also that one loving kill with the grenade launcher holy poo poo. Great martial arts choreography from all six. Tony Jaa having the most charismatic performance, and poor Tiger Chen having a literal bowl cut haircut. Great late night movie.
