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.

Tune in!

 

 

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 425 – No Exit

This week on the podcast, one of the more obscure films ever covered on the program: No Exit, AKA, Fatal Combat.

This one is a 1995 Canadian action filmed lensed in the Greater Toronto Area and directed by Damian Lee. It stars the excellent Jeff Wincott, an actor/martial artist perhaps best known for his role in Night Heat.

In No Exit/Fatal Combat, the masses are entertained by…what else? A fight to the death TV show! The movie title refers to the title of the show, whose producer/creator brings death games to the airwaves, all from a remote Arctic studio.

The unlikely breakout (literally) star of the proceedings is of all things, a humble university professor, John Stoneman (Wincott).

But, he’s getting more than he bargained for, as this is one tough hombre.
