A suggestion for a 90s action, The Saint with Val Kilmer. A fun and underrated spy film that's like a cross between James Bond and Mission Impossible, and is based on old serials and novels, which were notably made into a 60s TV series with Roger Moore before he was Bond.

[@TheGISGuy]

I was working in a movie theater when this came out. During the week, we didn't have many people in to watch it, so we would all hang out in the door to the auditorium and watch this movie repeatedly. Really is one of my all time favorites.

[@LordVolkov]

"On any other day that might seem strange." Love Cage's dry delivery. Con Air hits some pretty ridiculous heights and makes the most of a stacked cast.

[@szeddezs]

Garland Greene simply "found God and was healed" if you will, or had some sort of epiphany, when he and the little girl sang "He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands". Greene is an introspective, intelligent, self-aware sociopath, and no medical or psychiatric professional could figure him out and treat him because their approach lacked the simplicity of a children's hymn to something outside Greene's sociopathic self. The scene with him and the girl even starts out with them sitting opposite each other like a psychologist and their patient would, she asks whether he's sick and takes any medication, but then she asks him to sing with her, and his expression while singing speaks volumes. That's at least what I make of his arc.

[@ugib8377]

This is a wonderful throwback to the 90's. Nothing but fun, not meant to be taken too seriously. Such a great ride.

You think O'Brien swears here? You should hear him in The Barrytown Trilogy: The Commitments, The Snapper and The Van. The Commitments is a stone-cold classic.

[@toekneeburke]

O'Brien as far as I know is the first character to curse on Star Trek DS9. He says "Bollocks"

[@kluneberg8952]

cant wait until she gets to DS9. she'll see more of o'brien and worf, likable ferengi, and Odo.

[@bellvnv2000]

I remember watching this in the theaters when it came out and when the reveal that the propeller had cut off Johnny 23s arm was revealed to this day I remember the audience 'applauded' !

[@SteveTAGamer]

According to Terry Farrell (Meaney’s co-star on DS9), Colm had a clause in his contract with Paramount that allowed him to be in movies while the show was in production, even if it included his character being absent for a few episodes. Con Air might’ve been one of those movies.

[@jonbolton3376]

Great reaction! I love how you got excited seeing Chief O'Brien's name in the opening titles. This is my second favourite film from 1997.

[@franohmsford7548]

97 was a very very strong year for movies.....Con Air, Face/Off, Event Horizon, Men In Black, Air Force One, Grosse Pointe Blank, Volcano!

[@thomashiggins9320]

This film was silly fun with lots of great lines of dialogue. You know these guys all had a great time hanging out together to make this movie, and it's amazing how many of them went on to have brilliant careers.

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

The original script for this movie had the plane crashing into the White House & Poe saving the President from Cyrus. But then the producers became aware of a building in Vegas that was scheduled for demolition, & changed the script to use it instead, so they could save money on sets & FX. Imagine how over the top this would have been if they’d gone with the original script. Speaking of which, there are two (!!!) action movies whose premise is “Die Hard in the White House”: “Olympus Has Fallen” & “White House Down.” Neither is from the 90s, but they’re both lots of fun. Both came out in 2013!

[@bigdream_dreambig]

It's good that they didn't. It would have likely tipped this film over from "good fun" to "seriously?!?"

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

@@bigdream_dreambig I agree. That would have been too much.

[@christiantidball6121]

That was The Sands Hotel. They had dozens of cameras filming from different angles because you can't demolish a building twice.

[@johnnydoe6325]

I believe they would have called it Olympus has Fallen 🤣

[@jagger2001]

White House Down is a good movie with some genuinely funny scenes

[@BPhillips2000]

Regarding your question of whether or not Poe would've been convicted: Highly doubtful because of where they are. Alabama has a 'Stand Your Ground' statute, so Poe would have no 'duty to retreat' in the event that he & his wife (who is pregnant, no less) are accosted by drunk bar patrons. Now, in a few US states, their laws regarding self-defense are collectively known as 'duty to retreat'. In those states, a defendant claiming self-defense would have to first prove that retreating from the conflict was not possible, and there was no other option but self-defense. So if Poe was in, say, Maryland? He'd have to convince a jury that retreat/de-escalation was impossible... (Personally, I can't imagine convicting a man defending himself & his pregnant wife from three aggressive assailants who followed him out to the parking lot. But legally speaking...)

[@richard63]

100% agree with that last sentence.

[@LordVolkov]

The lack of a knife as evidence (Poe's word vs the 2 survivors because Trisha went inside for help) would make 'no retreat' a less viable defense in court, unfortunately. It's not always what is right, but what can be proved to a jury.

[@MrGBH]

The realistic part is that America is known for not giving military vets any sufficient support after leaving active service, hence why Poe was given such an incompetent lawyer A half-competent lawyer would have known about those laws and urged Poe to plead not guilty due to them

[@CmotDribbler]

@@LordVolkovit’s amazing how much the quick cut of the knife being picked up is so integral to the plot.

[@Riggswolfe]

In a movie full of over the top action and impossible situations the least believable part to me is Cameron Poe getting convicted and sent to jail like he was. I feel like we're missing a scene where it turns out the judge knew one of the assailants and was corrupt or something.

When training for state level martial arts competition(s), (many years of continuous training) we were informed that if we used our skills on the general public, a court would consider it the same as using a deadly weapon. I later taught at an officers military school as an unarmed combat instructor. *Legally when fighting you must use a 'proportional' response.* _That can be difficult when a single blow can be lethal or permanently injure._

[@fitzgivesfits1]

We don't know the specifics about the Buscemi's character's murders but I think he spared her life because she didn't run away. She talked to him, drank tea with him, sang with him. They had a friendly encounter.

Garland seems very introspective (if a bit cold) about himself and his actions. He may be trying to reform. This is kinda the only way I can take his 'happy ending' as not horrifying 😅

Good assassin black-comedy.

[@ProfVRandall]

The law portrayed in "Con Air" regarding Cameron Poe's sentence is debatable on a few points: * **Self-Defense:** The movie implies Poe's actions were purely self-defense after a fight escalated. While the details are fuzzy, a strong self-defense case could lead to a lighter sentence or even no charges. * **Military Background:** The judge implies Poe should have shown more restraint due to his military training. Legally, this doesn't hold much weight. The law applies equally regardless of profession, though some argue veterans face harsher penalties in reality [ * **Plea Bargain:** Poe pleads guilty to manslaughter, likely to get a shorter sentence. Plea bargains are common, but the movie doesn't explore if a better deal might have been possible. Overall, "Con Air" simplifies the legal system for dramatic effect. The portrayal of Poe's sentence is questionable, but the true verdict would depend on the specifics of the fight and his legal representation.

[@Zerbyte]

In translation, the judge was being an a-hole.

[@lithium23]

not "debatable" Every law aspect was blatant nonsense along with much of the other plot devices lol.

He didn't harm the the little girl because she showed him kindness and it broke through. Also she was an innocent child and nit an adult corrupted by what he thought was a corrupted world.

18:07 -- RE: "Imagine O'Brien just droppin' the F-Bombs on TNG..."; A: *LMAO* well yeah, perhaps it isn't that much of a stretch given the degree to which "O'Brien Must Suffer" and let's not forget he has a proper dose of PTSD from fighting against the Cardassians, a characteristic which requires many angry cathartic words plus self-reflection. That's yet another reason to watch DS9 in my mind, just to see an O'Brien who is simultaneously capable of employing this type of ordinance while also restraining himself because he has a strong support system in his family and Starfleet.

By far the most ridiculous part of this movie is that Cameron is in prison at all. Are you seriously trying to tell me that, in the Southern US, a decorated veteran defends a four-on-one attack against himself and a pregnant woman where the attackers are armed, and isn't instantly acquitted? Hell, lots of juries would have awarded him everything those guys owned in damages. And no, the concept of 'being a deadly weapon' (or indeed licened to kill) and therefore held to a different standard is pure fiction. The prosecution might well argue that a veteran should have a higher degree of judgement than a civilian, as to the necessity for deadly force, but defence would just point to the circumstances and say 'what, that doesn't qualify?'. Cameron's lawyer would have had to TRY to throw the case to get a result like this.

No way he would get that prison sentence for defending himself from a guy with a knife. No matter his military skills.

:Military Skills" is not a Legal Term!

CarolinaCharles777 Well, not in Alabama. And not in a blue state either, since the guy he killed was a straight white man.

Jen Murray: with your reacting experience, you are a particularly sneaky weapon, and not subject to the same laws as other heisters. I hereby remand you to hard labor at the hoser maple syrup farm for a term not less than 7-10 years, eh.

Wow, all these stars are so young in this!

There was a guy who made Trek edits on youtube and when faced with an engineering problem O'brian would regularly shout "We're gonna unf**k it!" from the audio bits from this movie.

On a trip to the US last year we stopped at "Lerner Airfield" (Wendover Airfield, UT) where the empty swimming pool and Con Air plane are still there. You can even walk right on the plane and have a look around!

Hello Jen!😊 Typically that is not how someone in the military would be tried. His military service would more likely be a positive factor in his case. But, you are at the mercy of the judge and his personal opinion. I knew I recommended this one a year ago when you watched "The Rock".😉"Face/Off" (1997) with Cage and Travolta is a wild film.

Great reaction Jen! I saw this 1 in theaters back in grade 8...it became 1 of my faves & still is! Such a fun cast!

Another over the top 90's action flick is "Deep Rising" (1998) with Treat Williams, Famke Janssen and Kevin J. O'Connor. Its more of an action-horror movie with a bit of cheese and big explosions. From the same director as "The Mummy" (1999), and "The Mummy Returns" (2001), and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (2009). The last one is also a great action film.
