Humanity defeating SkyNet and rebuilding society like 300-400 years after Judgement Day, and then some alien threat shows up and the humans have to REACTIVATE SKYNET TO FIGHT THE ALIENS.

TERMINATOR: UNEASY ALLIANCE

This summer in theaters. Rated R.

I could see someone in Hollywood fart out a screenplay for something like that.

Didn't the MGS1 theme turn out to be have been ripped off wholesale from a Russian composer? I'm sure there was a video of Kojima or some Konami bigwig having the original played to him at a show or something, and his face becoming increasingly :geno: as he realised just how similar they were.

I watched Lockdown with Guy Pearce, Peter Stormare and Maggie Grace last night.

The Wiki tells me that John Carpenter sued the studio for ripping off Escape from NY/LA (and won), but still, it was better than most homages to that series. And it’s got Cassidy from Preacher as a space convict!

Escape from LA by way of Fortress 2 with goofy rear end videogame visuals.

That scene in John Wick 3 where it's just him and a bunch of other people throwing antique knives and axes and hatchets at each other in a narrow hallway is one of my favorite action movie fight sequences ever. So loving brutal. Right up there with The Raid 2's fight with Baseball Bat Boy and Hammer Girl.

He's done a lot of stuff, but to me Commando is kind of the Action Movie of Action Movies.

Commando is probably Top 3 for me in terms of 80's Arnold action films.

Him being surprised that Rae Dawn Chong knew how to shoot the RPG and then her saying it was because she read the instructions is a terrific line.

Last Action Hero getting a 2 second cameo out of Sharon Stone (from Basic Instinct) and Robert Patrick (as the T-1000) were, IMO, two of the best throwaway gags i've ever seen in a movie up to that point.

Arnold just laying waste to everyone with heavy weaponry at the end of Raw Deal, and then shooting the old man, only to dump a bowl full of candy on top of him, was such a weird tonal choice, but because it was the 80's, it worked.

Demolition Man is easily one of the best scifi dystopia action films ever made. And it should never, in a million years, be remade.

I’ve heard unsubstantiated rumors for a long time about there being a sequel script being collaborated on, but another George R. R. Martin GoT book will be released before that sees the light of day, i’d imagine.

Stallone pulls off some great comedy in Demolition Man. Him just constantly being exasperated by all the future bullshit and then, as a result, cussing as the swearing ticket machine so he has enough paper to wipe his rear end was great.

Commando is an alltime great Arnold movie with a laundry list of quotes.

Edit: Vernon Wells is such a spectacular hammy 80’s bad guy. Dude looked like Ray Bloody Purchase wearing a chainmail vest the whole time.

I watched a little bit of The Expendables 2 the other day while making dinner, and there’s a scene where Jason Statham stabs a guy in the throat, and then goes “By the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and KNIFE!”, and it is scriptwriting malpractice that wasn’t an Arnold line 30 years earlier.
