Really Awful Movies: Ep 475 – Damage

This week on the podcast, WWE wrestler, Stone Cold Steve Austin stars in Damage.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that oh, 50% of action films released these days feature clandestine pit-fighting tourneys. And you’d be half right.

We are back in beautiful BC, portraying Washington State as it often does, in this cheap but undeniably fun meat-head action flick.

Austin plays an ex-con, Brickner, who’s trying to live life on the straight and narrow after being released from a lengthy pen stay. In the joint, he made promises to the wife of a man he effectively murdered, to make restitution however he could. And turns out, her daughter needs a lifesaving heart surgery.

And what better way to earn a 6-figure sum quickly, than the underground pit fighting circuit? (Walmart greeters make more, but hey, it’s fiction).

On the Really Awful Movies Podcast, we’ve followed the Texas Rattlesnake as he was known in the squared circle, to BC for efforts like Recoil and Hunt to Kill. And here, he’s fun delivers lots of ass whoopins.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 468 – Mission of Justice

Mission of Justice, aka, Martial Law. How does a movie so titled, NOT star Steven Seagal?

Anyway, for all concerned it is a good thing it doesn’t: after all, Jeff Wincott is pretty awesome.

The Canadian a**-kicking sensation, displays some great martial arts chops, and plays a disgruntled cop out to solve the murder of his buddy.

Meanwhile, Brigitte Nielsen plays a mysterious politico who has her own fascist militia ironically called, The Peacemakers.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 467 – The Running Man

Oh no, a fight-to-the-death TV show, which entertains the masses in a far off, dystopian future!

The Running Man can certainly count its place among…these kinds of movies. It’s certainly not the worst of its type, and it’s far from the best.

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays an LA cop, who disobeyed a command which would’ve killed a bunch of innocents.

For his recalcitrance, he’s sent up shit’s creek in the form of being an involuntary participant in a wildly popular game show.

There are a bunch of movies like this, The Condemned, Rollerball, The Hunger Games, Battle Royale, No Exit – it’s a pretty lengthy list beyond that too. And for the most part, they are pretty similar. But no less fun.
