EFAP Movies #11: Hardcore Henry

[@EveryFrameAPause]

Batwoman will be premiered on Saturday (Rather than tomorrow) in place of an EFAP - We're still not sure when we're starting up episode 101 and we are getting all of the 100 superchats responded to and then uploaded - It's defo gonna exceed the stream cap. The majority of the Episode 100 shenanigans are all uploaded now! thanks for watching and EFAP shall indeed return soon enough...

[@nick_4972]

Super chats ALONE will be over 12 hours long. Sweet Jesus.

[@baconcatbug]

I admire your dedication. Lesser streamers would have given up reading superchats, or implemented an arbitrary minimum.

[@kawaiimercenary]

I suggest Crank and its sequel for EFAP movies - they're high octane violence and very similar to this.

[@wolfhorn]

Charlie's Angels 2000 for EFAP movies? I recently watched it it is terrible and hilarious.

It’s impressive, his sheer persistence pretty much got them to do a Movies of his request. For a large stretch of Efap it was just a thing to hear his superchats. I used to find it annoying too, but I’m happy for him in the end. A legend for getting us another one of these for sure.

[@MrTeamGuy]

@@calemr Don't know about that, first person view truly made it hard to notice the action for me. Well I noticed it, just that I barely could appreciate the scenes as the pacing was too fast especially with a first person view which limits how much I can see.

[@TheHardys01]

What do you mean the plot is crazy?

[@PrapalyFree]

@@TheHardys01 Pretty simple. Guy is brought back to life by his wife but a group wants the tech that brought him back. Takes his wife and hunts him. He spend the movie trying to get her back and hell unleashed in between. It’s actually a pretty fun movie imo and something new that could have been built upon

[@NeoCreo1]

It’s literally impossible for one man to actually man a tank. So the fact that Henry left it behind is actually realistic

[@jestergodfield690]

That's not a lot, period, but, also, that's _really_ not a lot for an action movie. To be blowing some of that money away on an expensive actor, whose only job is to scream at the camera for a bit... that's... that's amazing, in a way.

Unlike jay, mauler delivers!

[@calemr]

Kinda bugged me how often Mauler went "This is like a video game." Yeah. That's the point. Even the main villains plan is drawn from that concept. Indoctrinate an army of super soldiers by creating a scenario that makes them believe they love that girl, by just going "She is your girlfriend, now go save her." Like so many early games have done. Double Dragon springs to mind. That's why she says that line at the end, she wants the main character to save her because of his conditioning. I mean, it's not as bad as Nostalgia Critic spending the whole of Last Action Hero complaining about how cliche it is, 'Cause at least Mauler rolled with it. But it still feels that he sorta missed the point.

That's the thing, it doesn't even really qualify as "bad" because the style is so unique to itself. The story is empty? That doesn't really matter because it is so focused on the frantic pacing. CGI explosions? Not everything works as planned and it's damn near impossible to fix one take.
