Steven Seagal is a cock.
He has absolutely none of the charm and self deprecation that other 80s action stars like Arnie, Sly, Chuck, Dolph and Jean Claude do.
Agree.
Which is hilarious because he seemed the most grounded back in the 80s - I mean film wise. His early STV (Above the Law etc) and even Under Siege etc seemed slightly more realistic than those other lots films in the main.

This is a lot of fun - a read through of the never filmed Commando 2 script, written by Steven E. de Souza and Frank Darabont.

Driving up north for work in the next couple of days so will have a listen.
Interesting question though. How was arguably THE best bullshit over the top action movie of all time never followed up with a sequel ? Surely some Latin greaseballs could have killed Tommy Chongs daughter and driven Matrix to revenge and even more cheesy lines and action ?

Basically Schwarzenegger was extremely busy and was offered his pick of movies, and Schwarzenegger was Commando.

To be fair Running Man, Predator, Kindergarten Cop and T2 are absolutely outstanding

True Lies in the comedy category
Yeah, a lot of fun. Probably his last genuinely good movie?
I've never actually seen Collateral Damage, and I don't remember Eraser - get it confused with Sixth Day.
probably, neither, and same!

After some outrageous slander on the Fern recently, I felt obliged to re-see Escape From New York last night, and Escape From L.A. tonight.
Escape from NY - zero bullshit early-80s John Carpenter action movie. Just set up a ridiculous premise within about 2 minutes, and then set-to with an anti-hero fucking shit up. Yeah, plot-holes, and nonsense, and what-ever. But... that's what you expect and want.
3.5 "call me Snake"'s out of 5 "GFY, call me Plissken"'sEscape from LA - my eternal memory of this is the atrocious blue-screen surfing scene. And once again - it was the low-light, but I'd forgotten how many other ridiculous (and ridiculously bad) special effects there were in this. But in general - I see Kurt Russell was listed as a Producer, along with Carpenter - I figure it must have been Russell's brainchild to do a sequel. And they just did the same shit, but throwing in as many LA stereotypes as possible. And... fuck it, it's a shit movie, but fun. It loses a shitload of points for the close-up of "American Spirit" cigarettes, and the general "yay, USA, freedom" in-your-face libertarian bullshit.
2 extreme-sport-tropes out of 5 basketball shots made under duress.The deliberate lack of romantic sub-plots, and the lead character just being a fluffy-bunny (to the point of unlikeable-ness) - were bonuses.
Edit: next on the life-plan... watching Assault on Precinct 13 - original and re-make.

@Kruse Escape from New York is 4/5 at least.
Brilliant minimal synth soundtrack.
Not as good as Halloween though
