Olympic Mathlete posted:I assumed they would just put a green bandage over it and edit it out in post like Imperator Furiosa's arm... Afterwards sure, but you can't do that for the scene where you lose it. Well you can but it's probably cheaper to use a prosthetic. X-Ray Pecs posted:I watched Avengement because of this thread and yeah, it was really good. Really enjoyed the action film via gritty crime film thing it had going on, and the fights were brutal. I was so happy to see people spit up fake blood instead of crappy CGI blood.  I'm going to have to start going thru Scott Adkin's back catalog now.

Blast Fantasto posted:Yes. Dougray Scott was originally cast as Wolverine but had to drop out because MI2 ran long. And MI2 ran long because Tom Cruise was delayed by Kubrick needing him for more Eyes Wide Shut filming. Such is the circle of life.

That's one of those coffee / snack stands large buildings have so the workers don't have to leave the building. I wonder if the Starbucks employee running it was also Hydra.

Payndz posted:Dredd started filming first, IIRC, but The Raid was first to be released. (Something I read once suggested that The Raid's creator almost certainly saw the Dredd script before shooting his own movie, but the two films are different enough in style and specifics that the basic concept of 'cops trapped in a tower block have to fight their way to the final boss' is really the biggest similarity.) Yeah, post production and studio fuckery caused Dredd's release to be after The Raid's despite being filmed first. Also Dredd had some great use of 3D in it.

Given everything surrounding that movie, it's possible the trailers show the entirety of Chan's and Schwarzenegger's scenes.

married but discreet posted:Nemesis 2 is the sequel to Albert Puyn's strangely dope and influental 1992 cyberpunk action movie Nemesis. It trades genderfluid cyborg gunplay with being bizarrely horny for an extremely muscular white East African tribal bikini babe and a weak predator knockoff sent back in time by the machines to kill her. It could have been way worse for such a disastrously sounding pastiche of many better movies, but I was entertained throughout. Also the predator knockoff was played by John Wick's Chad Stahelski who walked off set so the bad guy just sort of disappears for awhile before becoming an obviously different person wearing the suit. midge posted:There is 5 Nemesis movies. The third one is a clip show of the first two movies. I've seen 14 of Albert Pyun's movies and someday I will get to see all of them. duz fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Jul 28, 2020 |

married but discreet posted:I second this request, rank all Pyuns Without thinking so hard and just going by how much I remember enjoying watching it and not on quality: Cyborg (1989) Nemesis (1992) Captain America (1990) Arcade (1993) The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) Vicious Lips (1986) Nemesis 2: Nebula (1995) Radioactive Dreams (1985) Kickboxer 2: The Road Back (1991) Dollman (1991) Knights (1993) Nemesis 4: Death Angel (1996) Nemesis 3: Time Lapse (1996) Kickboxer 4: The Aggressor (1994) Special mention to The Alien from L.A. (1988) which I've only seen the MST3k version so far so I don't count it but it'd probably be #5. There's enough in his oeuvre that I'll probably get to 20 before I leave him for good.

Snowman_McK posted:I didn't know he did kickboxer 2 and 4. Those are both pretty good and also really different from each other. Kickboxer 4 is especially interesting since one of the machado brothers is in it. It also has a very graphic sex scene about halfway through that feels like its cut in from a different movie. Also, its take on Tong Po is way stranger and funnier than the other films. It's hard not to get on board with him as he bounces his knees watching people beat each other to death. Those are the reasons why it's last for me. Tong Po should've been a different character, that way it would've been ok that he was completely different, in Mexico and a drug dealer. And they wouldn't have had to put the actor in an appliance to look Asian. dokmo posted:You have to see Mean Guns, his Tarantino ripoff with mambo music and a Highlander and I think ice t, which had a decent budget for once. That and Rutger Hauer's Omega Doom are the next two.

According to imdb he wasn't supposed to catch on fire but he did and just went with it which if true means yeah it was him and later scenes where he was supposed to be on fire would be the proper stunt or maybe he told them to slather him up in case of another mistake.

Snowman_McK posted:The sequels are barely related to the first one. They're barely related to each other. The third one is just leftover footage from the second one. The fourth one is set decades after the other two. The fifth one probably doesn't actually exist. They're actually really interesting, if not good. Pyun, as a director, is kind of inept, but he's got a fuckload of ideas and tries to jam them all into every film he makes, regardless of whether he can afford it or pull it off. I've watched the fifth one. It's as related to the others as much as the others are related to each other. You know how the fourth has three filming locations? An apartment, the alley behind it and the garage at the end of the alley? The fifth is like that except it's a bar, the alley behind it and a nearby field. You can also feel the absence of Pyun. duz fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Jan 18, 2021 |

The Dollop just did a three parter on Seagal and they cover that stuff. He was also mobbed up so the movies might have been favors/money laundering as well.Shageletic posted:Feels like with Seagal, he was carried by the production and actors around him. He's this weird squinty dude flapping his arms around and running hilariously while Tommy Lee Jones or Henry Silva actually carry the movie. His movies never did feel like they needed him over someone else in that role.

Mantis42 posted:Also watched the Female Prisoner Scorpion series recently. These are a series of 70s Japanese exploitation film about a woman (Meiko Kaji, Lady Snowblood herself) sent to prison due to some poo poo her boyfriend, a corrupt cop, pulled. The subject matter here is kind of trashy at times, as you would expect from the genre and subject matter, with rape and violence against women and all that. Yet I think there was a real attempt by director Shunya Ito to elevate the work to something more. As the series progresses you get more of these touches of surrealism, and even in the more straightforward stuff there's a lot of character in the visual language Ito uses, it reminds me a lot of a Raimi film with the some of the camera work. And of course Meiko gives this perfect death stare the entire time, she doesn't even need any lines to be a memorable protagonist. It's a bit hard to recommend something like this given the subject matter, but I really found it entertaining. These are movies were the studio greenlit the first one for the titillation factor but the director actually took the work seriously and made something unique. The second film was by far and away the best. I got to see a screening of Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 on the big screen. It's such a pretty movie, it's a shame about the sexual assaults. That movie series are real diamonds in the rough of Japanese exploitation films.

Basebf555 posted:It's bizarre how often Bricklayer/Beekeeper situations seem to come up in Hollywood. It's like the Deep Impact/Armageddon situation, or Volcano/Dante's Peak, it seems like once or twice every decade you'll have the same premise made into two separate movies in the same year. More often than that if you are looser in how you define same premise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_films
