The ONE-HIT Wonders of 90s Action!

Thanks for watching guys! Had a couple of errors to note (Excessive Force released in 1993 not '91. It also made $308K its opening weekend, not $380K.) Sorry about that it was a blazing hot day during recording and there was no AC so I was getting loopy after awhile! 🥵🥵

I honestly think Boz missed his calling as a professional wrestler. He had a unique look, personality, and loads of charisma

[@edwardx4979]

Boz had a hype factor that eventually fizzled, but I agree that he did have a cool factor look and could easily been a dominant wrestler. I mean he had the size at 6'3" and 245+ lbs

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

I grew up in Seattle and back in 87 they did a SNME that was i think in like Dec/Jan during NFL season and The Boz and a few other Seahawks were in the front row. He was talking smack with one of the wrestlers like it was going to go somewhere down the road but it never did. And when I watch the SNME replay on Peacock that section is trimmed down pretty good. But I agree - he'd been in the WWF.

Good list, it brings back some good memories. I didn't watch most of these movies but it does hit me with a nostalgia wave thinking about them.

I remember Dark Horse comics pushing Barb Wire the comic but like MNSD said once the movie flopped, the comics died shortly after. I saw Toy Soldiers as a video rental with some other friends. That was a good movie. I never knew Jeff Speakman had a theatrical release. I've always known him as a straight to video movie guy. But I'm knocking him since my friends and I used to love watching those types of movies. Lance Hendriskson was killing it back then. Not only did he do Stone Cold,Excessive Force but he was the baddie in JVCD's Hard Target. He played in Alien 3 and he had his own television series Millenium among many other projects.

From what I read his deal with Paramount was supposed to be Perfect Weapon 2 and Speed. Paramount ditched the script after the deal with Speakman fell through so I assume they were kicking their own asses when 20th Century Fox took and ending up having a legit summer blockbuster out of it.

Surviving the Game is my favorite out of all of these movies. I was expecting a lot more from Toy soldiers to be honest. Stone cold started out ridiculously fun but the ending was horrible, as lance Hendrickson’s character actually won. He got to take out everyone he had on his list even the Boz’s love interest. I remember watching the ending with my family, we all had our mouths open out of shock. We were looking at each other and when the credits rolled were like “is that it!?”😂

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

😆 I've had a few of those "is that it?" moments as well. I really enjoy Surviving the Game - the bad guy line-up is impressive.

I’m very surprised I got exposed to If Looks To Kill which is a unique action movie using the mistaken identity theme when I was looking through channels on a HD tv while in a Cabin in California.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

Its a fun turn the brain off movie.

[@jasoncase9481]

@@MoviesNeverSayDie So it knows it’s intentional ridiculous much like Lake Placid which is an intentional ridiculous campy creature feature movie that has a giant crocodile in Lake Placid that is in Maine for this movie even though the movie acknowledges it’s really in New York so it’s in on the joke that this is a different version of Lake Placid instead of the exact real Lake Placid in New York.

Why can't I get a playlist with videos from the same one I'm watching anymore? I have to click on this, and click on that, and go to the channel, find the video on the playlist, just to keep watching videos from the same channel, really?

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

Sorry about that I notice that as well when I'm watching channels. KZbin is always tinkering with things and it messes up the flow.

Oh...Teen Agent(I'm a Brit, didn't know that film had another title until now - literally say the poster you showed, thought "that's the guy from Teen Agent" and...yeah...) slightly rediculous concept(without spoiling too heavilly, dumbest mistaken identity set up ever) but a lot of fun once it gets down to business!

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

It's always interesting how the films get different titles. It really was the dumbest set-up. Almost like they said "this is good enough, let's just shoot through this part so we can get to the meat of the movie."

[@JustinWatchesMovies]

I enjoy watching these videos as I get to discover films that I haven't heard of. A lot of them seem fun to watch!

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

Thanks Justin! A lot of these movies are free on Tubi/Pluto/Plex/Crackle/FreeVee. I've been catching your review as well since I stepped out of the space. Dug your reviews of Romulus and Bad Monkey!

Treat Williams from Deep Rising is spinning in his grave right now.

[@williamthompson5504]

I saw that in the theater.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

Gotta love Treat Williams!

[@TimeVextorX]

Deep Rising I didn't like but his others like Hair, 1941, The Men's Club, Sweet Lies, Dead Heat. Treat Williams always be one of my favorite actors ever.🙏🏽

If Looks Could Kill was a great Spy Spoof

[@deamondeathstone1]

Ooh, One Hit Wonders! Do a One Hit Wonders the Me2 movement would like you to forget. Because I saw a metric f*ckton of direct to video movies during the late 80's and early 90's that usually had the producers or directors wive, girlfriend or side-piece in the lead and they weren't cast for their acting talent.

[@MoviesNeverSayDie]

There were floods of movies on late night cable!

I always loved Big Syke on every Pac track, but as a solo artist he wasn’t the same.
