You know what day it is right Jon?

[Najemikon]

So what? 

Anyone following them on Facebook? They've just released this photo of Akira Kurosawa on the set!

Excerpts from the French television program Cinéastes de notre temps: “Ivan Reitman”
They never did one featuring Ivan Reitman

More than six hundred minutes of rare behind-the-scenes and archival footage
More than 10 hours... I repeat more than 10 hours

I repeat Jon : Do you know what day it is today?

[Najemikon]

No idea what you mean.

10 hours? That is fantastic. Remember there will be a 3 disc Blu-Ray edition, so I think they can cover it. And now we know Kurosawa  was on set, shit, they must have some incredible footage.  

And Jimmy, I am well aware what day it is. I've always known what day it is. Stupid of Criterion to announce it today actually. I mean, some people might not treat it with the credibility it deserves.

I love Kindergarten Cop, I think I watched it before I ever saw Arnold in any "serious role".

[Achim]

I saw the news on Facebook trhis morning and totally fell for it (my excuse: I read it on April 2 )


I must say, seeing it now, the cover kind of looks too hokey, but the picture with Kurosawa also sold it to me.

On the product page it says "CONTINUITY-ASSISTANT-APPROVED THREE-DISC SPECIAL EDITION"

From Amazon Canada


International action star Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, The Expendables) is Lt. Nikolai Rachenko, a Soviet Special Forces “killing machine” assigned to infiltrate an African rebel uprising and assassinate their anti-Communist leader.  Taken into custody and tortured after the mission fails, he stages a harrowing prison escape.  Befriended by an African bushman while on the run, Nikolai discovers he was fighting on the wrong side of this violent conflict all along.  Nikolai finds the rebel army once more but, this time, he’s on their side and wages bloody war against his former comrades!

Brainless eighties movies are cool
Had a lot of fun watching Jean Van Damne, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, even Steven Seagall when I was younger.

Sitting in front of the TV watching over the top non-stop action is sure a good way to waste an hour or so  

BTW watching a movie directed by the guy who did Invasion USA and Missing in Action can't be a non fun time

[DJ Doena]

At the german Drogerie Müller they sell these 80s action movies uncut rather cheap (on DVD). They've got everything: Missing in Action, American Fighter, ...

I already have all that I wanted.

Love these movies. I'm one of few people who is even a fan of those more recent films starring these action 'has-beens'. Best for me, Second in Command with Van Damme.

Well, yes, although the 80s action flicks is to always where it's at for me.

Since he is mentioned, which Chuck Norris film would be recommended to get a good feeling for what his stuff is about. Been wanting to check him out for some time now, just not sure where to begin.

Is that a favorite of yours or is the smiley meant to be ironic. I was originally thinking more of "hardcore" Noris, this seems a bit more on the fluffy side? I could go with it...
