You got some ID?
Sure.
So those three guys leave the hotel after you.
Anything in particular or, uh, just a mug?
They had trouble telling me what they wanted.
Yeah, I'll bet.
Joseph P. Brenner.
What's a P. Stand?
P.S.
Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the Action Returns.
It's episode 11.
I'm your host, Brian.
With me, as always, is Nas.
What's up, Nas?
Yo, man, what's going on up there?
Same old, same old.
Nothing's changed.
Weather's getting colder.
I am definitely getting bummed out about that.
It means the snow's coming.
I can't handle them.
I can't handle no snow right now.
Well, it's still hot here.
I think we're going down to the 70s for like a day.
Then shoot back up to the 90s.
but other friends here in California
down in the southern part
were like triple digits
I'm like ooh
so I'm glad I didn't go down there
I wasn't go down there but now 117
now I'm good I'll stay up here where it was 90
I'll take some of that 70 you guys got
I think it's like in the 30s here
right now
yeah it's not even snow
oh man
I got my
swamp cooler going i was outside working sweating that i was in the shade sweating i was like oh my god
yeah it usually around uh usually around october is when we see snow but the the weather's been
actually changing up here we've been getting snow later so but i i feel it coming definitely not
looking forward to it we're usually good in september it's still a little warm
We'll start to cool down probably middle of October.
Sometimes the beginning, it depends.
I mean, the way the weather's been.
I don't know if it's going to be a rough winter.
I think it's going to be, I mean, our winters have just been, like, it'll snow hard for like a day,
and then the sun comes out and it's all gone.
Sounds nice.
Sounds nice.
When it snows there, it stays there.
Yeah, it'll be.
snow until like March.
Oh man.
Yeah. It's
I don't know. I don't know. For someone
that doesn't like snow, I don't know how I ended
up here. I'm supposed to be somewhere
where it's sunshine every day.
But
what can you do?
Well, don't go where the
Zisu's at in Eureka, California.
It's just overcast, like
year round.
Oh, wow.
I wouldn't mind that. I like it.
it was sunny when I went there
and he was like man it's weird
it was like gray
for weeks and then I showed there
and the sun came out so I was like
oh man I was expecting it to be
all gray nice and cool
for a sweatshirt but now I was all sunny
and everything it was hot to all them
but it felt like perfect to me
but they're right along the coast
so I'm more inland
so
I don't think we did this on the last
show we we didn't do a little
wrestling returns update
but uh
did you uh check out
summer slam yeah
I did I watched both of those I didn't get to see
the AEW one
okay uh
what you think of uh Roman reins
turning heel
um
okay
I mean
I don't know as far as the
the Paul Heyman deal but
um all right I'll go with it
um
It still seems like they're trying to put him over because it's still the crowd's just not feeling him ever.
I mean, I've been down for him since the beginning.
So I'm never, heal, baby phase, whatever they want to do with him.
I'm still right there with him.
So I'm down.
But it was good to see him come back because it was at the end of SummerSlam when he returned.
I was all right.
Yeah, see, that was kind of unexpected.
So I was like, all right, cool.
I mean, I was all for it.
I got excited when he came running out.
It was good to see that he's back because I know he stayed away from all this when the pandemic started.
So I was like, well, he was just because of his health condition with his leukemia and everything.
He's in remission, but, I mean, you don't want to take that chance of catching it.
And then it just kind of taking them down.
But I'm sure that everyone is pretty much being tested, like, constantly.
And I'm sure that I think they're going to start putting them on lockdown
because I know there was some people that did have it.
Performers as well as some of the other staff.
So I don't know.
I think Vince might have put everyone on lockdown.
I mean, I think they would have had to in order for Roman Raines to come back.
so but I don't know well we'll see how it goes I mean as far as the matches at
summer slam um that last mass of the fiend and bronze stroman
uh I'm that was I was just never a fan of of um the
bray white I like the theme I like how he looks I hate that
fun house firefly fun house or whatever the hell it's called I think that's
stupid and I didn't like all the
previous things when the
match with Sina and
so I was like, all right,
at least they're in the ring and
everything, but
I just, I just don't feel
I mean, especially when they put two
big brutes up against
one another. I mean, we're only going to get
so many moves. Yeah.
They're just going to be thrown each other around.
That's all pretty much that happened.
I can't even
remember the other matches. I think I remember
payback more. But if I had to pick
between out of pay-per-views,
I thought payback
was a little bit better. The card was better
and I got a little more
excited with those matches. Mainly the
women's matches. I loved all those.
Good to see Oscar
just kick-ass in both matches.
It sucked.
My girl, Sasha Banks,
the boss, she lost her belt.
So I was kind of bummed
about that, but Oscar's cool.
yeah we'll see and uh they they lost their oh yeah they did they lost their um tag team titles to um
uh shana basler and uh my girl nia jacks yeah yeah i love i love her you see the last week on raw
i saw highlights what happened uh bailey finally turned on sasha oh yeah i knew that was coming
you think it's too late for that or it's still going to play out how they want i don't know i mean
every time they put someone together they always it always ends bad so but uh this uh nia jackson
uh basler it's i know they hate each other well in on the show but uh i i liked what they were
doing i mean i thought they did a good tag team night jack she
she can only do so much, but
I still like how she just
roughs everyone up.
And I think she just goes a little
too hard
because she was throwing
Sasha Banks around. It looked like
that was full force.
So I don't know, because I know
she clocked Becky and broke her nose
that one time. But,
well, I mean, yeah, she's trying to
do what she's doing, but she's just not
I'm sure it was an accident.
I'm sure she didn't intentionally break her nose or when he's throwing these gals around.
But I don't know.
We'll see.
All right.
Well, it's, it's on.
Wait, one more thing.
What did you think of the Thunderdome and the virtual audience?
It's still weird to me, just like in any other sport.
It's weird.
and I've seen some pictures of people getting away with some stuff on the screens.
Have you seen any of those?
I figured they would.
I haven't seen anything.
One person dressed like a clan member.
And then another one was holding up a picture of Chris Benoit.
Oh, damn.
Yeah.
How do you?
I know they send me emails, but I never really read into how to be in the audience.
Because I figured if I did it, I mean, they'd probably put me way in the back and I never see myself.
So I don't know.
Did they build this little Thunderdome or was, is it somewhere?
I think, I think they got, um, they got permission to use the stadium and they just kind of redid the whole inside.
Well, he spent a lot of money because that's a lot of TV screens that are.
in there. Yeah, he's
I watched this
YouTube video. Vince is like seriously
worried about the ratings. So there
there's some rumors of some
people coming back
in the next couple months that
he's
I want a lot of money at right now.
Like retired people or
there's
the CM punk rumors started
again.
I read that he
basically he's offering him money
that that's kind of hard to refuse to come back.
I know for the women,
what's, I forgot her name.
She had that gimmick, the all red everything.
You know what I'm talking about, right.
Eva Marie?
Yeah.
I had to look at my pops because I know she,
I have her, I got her when she quit, but.
Yes, she's,
good to look at, but
as far as her ring performance,
I don't know what she's been doing other than
maybe a lot of modeling and whatever she's
doing with her husband, but
I don't know.
The last match I saw her in,
I think it was WrestleMania, the one
that was in Dallas.
I want her top fell off and they
stopped the match. I think it was then. I can't
remember, but there was one of the last
times I saw she was really
going for it. Because I know
on her last few matches,
She was coming out and then something would happen and her match would be canceled, but I don't know. I mean again, I know why they hire
Some of these women just because of their looks. Yes, she's a beautiful woman and everything, but she could not
Ressel. She was no good on the mic. So yeah, I don't know. Why don't they just move up some of the NXT girls? Why are you bringing old scrubs back in?
You know Vince don't like new stuff
Man they just
Um
Rea Ripley bring her up
And um Kansas Lurray
And um
The girl with the green hair
Um
Oh uh
Shotsie Blackheart
Yeah her
And I would love to see that tank
Come out on Raw or Smackdown
I mean bring there's a bunch of
Of gals on that roster they can bring up
I mean even
some of the dudes um but i don't know i don't know it's vince's money and it's his show so
well with a lot of the guys i feel like when they do bring them up they waste them yeah
where's ricochet man he was doing good for a while he just disappeared uh he was on a raw
tonight all right did um um uh velveteen dream is he still around or did he go down for the
he was at the last
NXT takeover
okay so I guess they're
kind of I know it got a lot
of backlash because of his
allegations and stuff but
it looks like they're kind of sticking
with him right now
well all right
um
but as far as Sam punk
I know he's done the acting thing
I mean I did like him in that little
role he had in the Saska sisters
a rabid I mean
I didn't really care for
the ending but um for what he was a little sleaze bag i thought he did his purpose of that
i liked when he got all crazy and crashed into that little restaurant um i didn't see that girl
on the third floor or whatever that one is that that what he's pretty good in that one okay i know
it's on netflix i haven't seen that yet but um i don't know man if he comes back for the money
I know the whole sellout thing is going to start.
But if he comes back, I'll be excited.
I mean, as soon as I hear that music,
the living color music, cult of personality,
of course I'll, ah, I mean, I was down for punk.
If they do it right, they can use that whole angle.
Like, they couldn't, the WWE couldn't cut it without him.
So they had to bring him back.
They could use that whole angle.
If they do that and then he just goes off.
I mean, I always thought he was good on the mic.
I know some of you probably don't think so,
but I was all about CM Punk during the Nexus stuff and everything.
And once he became champ and he was the best in the world
and all the indie stuff he did, I was always down for him.
So if he does come back and they play that angle,
of course he'll be speaking from,
from the heart and it'll be truthful but
it'll probably
Vince or probably go all right you just kind of tone it down
because I mean of course I mean
I don't know I mean
CM Punk has said a lot of things on different
podcasts that it would never come back
but if they throw that big money at you
and I think you're just gonna you know what
just all right man I know I said this
but uh
today's world man money talks
so I don't know
I mean, but I mean, again, I mean, I'll be a little weird and I know everyone's going to talk shit, but I'll be right there for punk if he if he comes back.
All right.
You ready to get into these movies?
All right.
Let's do this.
All right.
We're going to start with 1986's raw deal.
Be ready.
Beware.
Schwarzenegger got a raw deal.
And now he means business.
I thought I made good lucky.
No, it's you a turn.
Raw deal.
Open Friday, June 6th at a theater near you.
Check localistic.
A former FBI agent turned small town sheriff agrees to help the FBI chief infiltrate the Chicago
Mafia when the FBI chief's son is killed by them.
this stars Arnold Schwarzenegger
Karen Harold
Darren McGavin
Sam Wanamaker
Paul
Chenar
go with that
Stephen Hill
Ed Lader
Joe
Regal Buddha
I'm totally butching
in these names
Robert Davy
this is directed by John Irvin
written by
Luciano
Benzanzanoni
Sergio Donat
Donati
I'm really having a hard time with these names
Gary Devor
and Norman Wexler
All right man
What did you think of raw deal?
Because I believe we both mentioned
We haven't seen this movie in a long time
Yeah I was
I know I said this on the last episode
When I was talking about Mike
when we were recording last night.
We were talking about it because he asked him what we were doing next,
and I told him, he was like, oh, Rawl Deal started laughing.
I said, did we see that together?
He goes, yeah, me, you, and our friend Rob went and saw this.
And then I went, okay, I knew I'd seen a billion movies with Mike.
I just forget which ones.
Lucky's got a better memory than me, but I think that was the last time
that I watched it straight through back when it came out.
and I might have seen
maybe one other time on VHS
when it first came out on VHS
and that was still a long time ago.
I did not remember this film at all.
The only thing I remembered was the end
when he goes riding into that
little rock pit quarry
and blasting the Rolling Stones
and shooting up everybody.
As far as that, I couldn't remember
who was in this and what
was happening in it.
But after this watch, it's streaming on Amazon Prime, everyone, if you guys haven't seen this.
It's definitely worth a watch.
I think to me, this is one of Arnold's films that not a lot of people have seen and not a lot of people talk about.
I mean, especially now.
Big, when it came out in 86, yeah, we were all about it and it was all over the place.
Because Arnold was the big thing then.
but I thought this film was more of one of his serious roles
because there was no one-liners.
If he did, it might have been like one,
but it didn't, not like Commando and Running Man
when it was every other line.
But I thought he did a really good job in this one.
I mean, once all the shoot-em-up action and the fighting starts,
I think that's really cool.
But the story was there.
I really love what was happening.
To see a lot of people in this that I had seen in multiple films,
Darren McGavin, I love him, Colchak and the Nightstocker and everything.
He's also Ralphie's dad and Christmas Story and Billy Madison's dad and Billy Madison.
But he's been in a ton of other movies.
Everyone else that pops into this.
Robert Davy, we just talked about him.
and what was uh
action jackson
yeah yeah so i mean
it was cool it was cool to see everyone
the one that the surprise me
was um
uh
uh Arnold's wife in this
um
amy comitsky played by
Blanche Baker
yeah
I got that
I just remember her from 16
candles she was a Sam's older
sister the one that was getting married
oh yeah
I was trying to
figure out who she was.
I know I've seen her in other things,
but I just totally forgot that she was in this.
Probably just didn't even think about it.
But there was a lot of people in this.
George P. Wilbur, he was, he's just a killer, number one in this.
He played Michael Myers in, I believe it was part seven.
Let me, let me see which one.
I think it was part seven.
Yeah.
Which was part seven?
Was that the curse?
Or was that?
Damn it.
Oh, he was in Halloween 5.
He was,
um,
just as stunt player.
So,
was that the revenge?
Yeah,
the revenge of Michael Myers.
He was in that one.
I think he just did all the stunt work for,
um,
Michael Myers.
Oh,
that was cool to see.
I mean,
I'd,
I'd,
only know his face because of
documents I've seen on Halloween and everything
but again everyone
isn't in this was cool
the story was really good just basically
Arnold was a former FBI agent
he ended up
taking out
one of
some bad guy that
raped and killed a little girl
so when he killed him
he got basically you can either
go to jail or be prosecuted or
and quit the FBI.
So he said he quit and they made him
just kind of disappear, start a new life and go
to some small little hicktown and be a sheriff.
So that was his punishment
for taking some scumbag
off the planet, which is cool in my book, man.
You rape and kill little kids, man. You deserve to die.
so but so that that's where the story begins
Darren McGavin it was his former boss in the FBI
his son gets killed in a in the beginning
during a
um
was it a drug raid and then he got killed
uh was I think they were at a
witness protection place
oh that's right they were protected like a safe
like a safe house
yeah and his his uh Darren McGavin
Harry Shannon, one of his sons
was there, was an FBI agent,
and
was it a Petro Vitas
gang that came in, or
was it
Laura Mansky?
These were the two crime families in this film.
It was one of them.
It was one of them anyway. They came in.
Oh, no, it was
Petrovitas.
Because that was
the reason he had to infiltrate
their crew. Okay.
So he, his,
Darren McGavin's son gets killed in the beginning.
He just
wants justice for his son.
So he goes to his old buddy
Arnold. He plays Mark Kaminsky.
Tells him, look, this is what's happening.
I need you to go in there and kill these guys.
And hopefully you can get your job back in the FBI.
So he's like, all right. So he has to go into cover.
And the other way to do that is he
set up himself to where he
died.
He blows up a, what was that like some kind of oil refinery?
Yeah.
And that's a, that, I don't know where that oil refinery was.
And that, I don't know if the FBI would pay or do that because he just opened up some,
it looked like an oil or a gas line or something and it spilled all over his car.
He shot a flare into him.
But then the whole thing started to blow up.
And is that worth?
How much did that cost?
And did they,
I don't know,
it's a movie everyone.
So, but, so that's where it begins.
He goes,
he's,
he's,
technically he's labeled dead.
Mark Kermiski is dead.
So he was able to go undercover
into the FBI,
into the streets of Chicago
and try to get into,
was it, Luigi,
Patroveda,
Sam,
uh,
Wanamaker's,
a crew.
Yeah.
And be just one of his,
hitman. Yeah, and this is this is all this is all unsanctioned like technically he's not doing this
for the FBI. It's like mission impossible. Yeah. No, but I mean that I love I thought that was a
good story to start it off and once you go from there you know how it goes it turns into
Arnold to shoot him up and beat everyone down because in order to get into Petrovita's
good graces he had to take out some of
another crime boss in Chicago
Martin Leminski take out some of his
he took out one of Lamenski's
little underground casinos and roughed up some of his
men and everything so he was just trying to look good for them
and so because they knew they
they need more bad guys to protect Petrovita
so that's how he ends up getting in but there's always
one guy that never really
trusts the new persons and that
was Robert Davy. He played Max
Keller and was
Paulo Roca, um
Sosa, was he like
second in command? Yeah,
second. Okay. But
he, he always seemed like he was the one
in charge. Yeah, I mean, he
I'm sure he had some kind of
excuse me, he had some kind of
back deal to look at let's take him out and then I'll be the
crime boss of Chicago.
But, I mean, other than that, I mean, that was pretty much the story.
But when Arnold gets into action, I mean, he was just all smooth, all business, just rolled
around in suits and kicked a lot of ass.
Yeah, he wore a lot of fucking suits in this movie.
So, but I mean, I really liked what was happening in it.
It was a really good story.
And, I mean, at least had a point.
it wasn't just going there, shoot them up
and get out of there.
But, I mean, the story was good.
When the action was there,
I mean, there was a lot of shootouts,
and when Arnold had to go hand-to-hand,
I thought all that was cool.
There was a lot of bad guys in this one.
I mean, it was just on both sides.
They got two crime families,
and then you got crooked FBI agent
that was actually,
because they said they knew there was a leak
and a mole in the FBI.
They just didn't know who it was.
But then when we finally find out who it is, we see that he's the reason why the Petroveda family is like one step ahead of the law and everything.
I mean, but other than that, I mean, it was cool.
I mean, all the shootouts, I mean, especially the scene in the beginning when he goes into the casino and just goes in there and lets them know that the craps table wasn't leveled because they throw these little balls onto the thing.
to see it on his level and it kind of
just stops in the middle and everyone goes
crazy. He flips over
starts beating the hell out everyone. I love
how he threw that one dude up on top of
that little air duck
thing. Yeah.
One drug dude didn't even phase him. He just
stood there and start put money in his pockets
and grabbed his drink.
He didn't kill
anyone. He just beat everyone up, right?
Yeah, he was pretty much
up until
the final
little action scene throughout
most of the movies he was just like beating people
out
that's right
because he never really tried to kill
anyone who was this girl that just came out of nowhere
the one that
wanted him which she
who was she working for I can't remember because I remember
when she was digging
through his wallet in his passport she called
someone
wasn't she working for the
what family was it
the Petra the one he was going
undercover with
Oh, okay.
So she was either talking to Keller.
No, she wasn't talking to her because she hated him.
She was probably talking to Roca or Sosa, whatever you guys want to call.
She was probably talking to him because it seems like it was either him or Keller,
but she hated Keller because he was a creep.
He was always trying to get on it.
I mean, that's how it was in these movies, especially when you're in crime families,
you think you can just do what you want and have any woman you want.
But sometimes these women just don't want nothing to do with you.
Because, so he was working with her.
So she ended up kind of falling for Arnold's character.
His name, once he went undercover, he became Joseph P. Brenner,
which is actually another bad guy.
It was, I guess, at least kind of had a name.
But so he kind of took his identity.
You notice nobody questions.
his accent ever.
Yeah, I mean, in every movie,
except for the next one,
we're all going to talk about.
Again, this one was just more serious.
I think this is probably why
out of everything Arnold did in the 80s,
everything was
one line or one line, well, except for Predator,
like Terminator and stuff like that,
but majority of the stuff that came out
after those films was just
I know this came out
If it wasn't right before Predator
I know it was either right before it or a film
In Between or whatever
But
Um
After he was just trying to get in there
He was just kicking ass
And beating everyone up
And every chance he got
Because the
The
Lamaminski family
They were always sending guys
To try to get him
To take him out
just mainly because he ruled Arnold ruined their casino in the beginning.
But I love that whole scene in the dress shop when they tell him,
yeah, just go find him and rough them up, make him send a message,
make sure you do it in public and then kill him.
How many dudes rolled in there, like four or five?
At least.
He just started whoop an ass, and then his girl jumped in and started to help out.
I loved all that.
Did she steal that dress at the end?
Yeah, I think so, because she ran back in there and grabbed her jacket or whatever and just grabbed that.
She was wearing one.
Yeah, she said something.
It's hard to find my size or something.
Yep.
The part I liked in that scene is when after Arnold told the ladies that worked and I called the cops, this is a robbery.
And that one lady just was running out, move out of the way, bitch.
knocked her over and just
he just basically destroyed that store
threw one guy through the window
and just beat the hell out of everyone else
and then they all just ran out of there
did they try to come after him again
uh no i don't think so
at this point
did uh the
leminski guy did he
he did get killed
because remember they um
they chased them
uh uh uh
they were on that pier
with the
big ferris wheel on.
Those are either living in Chicago
or know that there's a pier's a pier
out there with a
ferris wheel and all that.
I can't remember the name of that pier
because they were chasing him
through there.
And then I remember
Leminski was in
one of the cars
that they were chasing
because they kind of had a shootout
and then
his car
they thought they were getting away,
but they fell off that loading dock
and just slammed right into that
that gas truck that was...
I don't know why that truck was there,
but all right.
There's always a gas truck or something.
Because that's how he went.
He blew up and went out.
So that family was done.
So I think it just went more back into
him still trying to
stop Petrovita.
Was he supposed to
kill him or just bring him to justice?
I kind of felt like maybe kill him because this was off the books unsanctioned.
This was his friend coming to him for a favor.
Because he's basically hired an assassin to go in there.
Yeah. All right.
Because this was Arnold's way of getting back into the FBI because we, you know,
we didn't mention that his wife is not really.
having this lifestyle you know she's drinking she's upset you know they're in the middle of
nowhere and this was an opportunity for him to to get back in i don't know man but
she should well i don't know i don't know i don't know nothing of being in law enforcement or
fbi or anything but she should have just we lucky he's not in jail i mean because they said
either retire or do this or you can be prosecuted
because if he was prosecuted, he would have been in prison and she would have had nothing.
So I don't know.
It's a movie everyone, but she was just a drunk bitch, man.
She was pissing me off, man.
And I was like, man, because that one girl, the Arnold was hanging out with,
she was pretty much spread open and ready to throw it at him.
But he was like, no, I'm married.
And good for him, man.
Yeah, because he did that one.
scene like she was trying to take him to bed
and then he acted like he
passed out. Yeah,
he was probably gonna. I said,
I better just act like him.
That was when she went through his wallet
and told everyone who he
was because
Raka and Keller
they still weren't buying it.
So they went, they did it more deep
dive into who this was and they found out
one of their former snitches
found out
that
that Kaminsky or Brenner
Arnold's character was not
Brenner
because they were looking at a picture
he goes I don't know who this is but that ain't Brenner
and they asked where is he
because I think he's in the Bahamas or something
so they're like all right
so they kind of knew that he wasn't
who he said he was and they always thought that
so
because Robert Davy's character
Max Keller was like he never trusted him
he just kind of well I guess he thought
he was going to be replaced because
when Arnold went in for his interview
he was talking hell of shit because
Ersten Keller was like, well, I'm the number one guy
and Arnold said something stupid
to like, well, I'm going to take that spot.
So they kind of set
them up. They're like, all right, well, we need
Rockatollum. He said, look, we need
you, we need Arnold and
Keller and some other guy.
Just another hitman
dude to go take out
somebody at a
cemetery.
So you get the, there's a, there's a funeral service going on, but then you see somebody's back to the, to us to where he's kneeling down at a grave site.
And Arnold and Keller and this third guy come walking up, guns loaded, and they're getting ready to blast them.
But then that person stands up from the grave and turns around, and it's Darren McGavin's character, Shannon.
So he's kind of like, Harry!
And then that's when Keller was like, fuck, I knew it.
So they kind of turned their guns on Arnold.
and one of the dude the third guy has a shotgun he blasts darry mcgavin
he kind of goes down uh then arnold turns and starts firing at keller as well as the third
guy kills both of them and then runs up to harry shannon and asking me he's like just get
out of here man he goes the the cops are going to be here man don't worry i'll be all right so
arnold just takes off and by this time he realized he knows that his cover is blown and
everyone's going to be after him.
So this is when he
loads up.
Well, first he tells that one goes,
look, you got to get out of town, get lost.
And I'm going to go do what I got to do
because he goes back to his hotel and loads
up all those guns. Did you realize
when he has all those guns, he loads up a shotgun,
some kind of machine gun, that little,
I don't know what that little
hand machine gun was,
as well as his pistol.
he goes he starts shooting up all the
the bad guys at this
like rock quarry type of thing
and
this was a stunt and a half
I mean he's driving around gunning up and killing everybody
that's basically a front for
those drugs and money in this trailer
that these guys were counting and then bagging up
cocaine or heroin or whatever it was
when he goes driving around
blast them all up and they're shooting at him
I mean, he hits everyone, but as close as he came to them when they were all shooting,
he never got hit other than the car.
But when he goes slamming into that big bulldozer, I mean, I don't know who that stunt driver was,
but you could see him slam into the steering.
And another big rig comes up and sandwiches that car.
When Arnold jumps out, he just got his little machine gun.
But somehow he was able to grab.
his pistol, the other little handheld machine gun and his shotgun.
Of course.
I was kind of like, wait a minute, but all right, he's Arnold.
He can do what he wants.
Because after he killed everyone there, he took, I think he took like half a million dollars from them.
And then he took off and then he went back to Petrovita's layer and goes in there.
and this is the huge gun battle.
I don't even remember how did you get in there?
I don't even remember.
I don't even remember.
I just remember he just went on a killing spree.
Oh, he came up through the elevator.
And then, because they all started shooting there when the elevator stopped.
And then you hear banging around in the air vents and he comes shooting out.
And then did he starts gunning up everyone.
I like this because everyone that all the henchmen that were in there was a somebody you'd seen them
They're they must be in the book of henchmen. Hey, we're making this movie. We need you you you you and you
They brought them all in one of the dudes was in I know he was in Predator and he was
That game show guy's bodyguard in running man
Oh the that isn't he in the next
movie we're about to talk about too?
Yeah, he's in that as well.
Yeah.
It was crazy.
I mean, again, you just, these are the henchmen
of the 80s that you just got to have.
Because they're all big giant dudes and they have faces
that you don't know they're names, but you know
who they are. That's, that's what's
lacking from action movies nowadays.
There's like maybe one or two people
that I see
that pop up as henchmen nowadays.
And I only know them because they're like
former like mima fighters but it's not like the 80s yeah i mean again they they have a book
of bad guys or actors that are bad guys and they just get that book and all right we want all of you
come on we'll just put you in a suit and give you a gun and just started shooting arnold but i mean
that that was cool i mean it is arnold yes he's the hero of it but all these hit hitch
killers or hitman or whatever you want to call him are all bad shots.
The place is riddled with bullets and Arnold never gets hit.
He was only bleeding because I think he got hit when he was at that little rock quarry when he stole all the money because his arm was bleeding then.
Is that what happened?
Because his jacket was all tore up the sleeve.
Yeah, I think he got shot there or caught his.
on something but because he didn't get it in there he went in there and blasted everybody in there
and uh the petrovita he was there and all pretty much uh raka and the uh fbi i snitch he was in there
and all the henchmen so arnold just went in there and just started blasting everybody
uh he killed petra vita he tried to run i think he shot him oh he shot him in the back of his
shotgun and then he goes falling down
what was with the candy
he walked up and dumped that big bowl
of candy on him
I don't know that was weird
I don't even think they even like
reference candy or anything earlier
but after he goes back into the
main room where
bodies are laying everywhere
the
the FBI guy that was a rat
and everyone out
Marvin Baxter he was there
and look was he trying to kill himself
because he had that pistol and he was like holding it to his
I think he was I think he knew if they brought him in
what was going to happen
because Arnold gave him when he when the gun was empty
he handed him a pistol and said here
either retire I think that's what he said or
be prosecuted because
that Marvin Baxter guy he was the one
that took down
Arnold when he was
it was because of him that he
got a booted out of FBI
So he handed him that gun and he kind of walked away
And that dude jumped up and acted like he was going to shoot Arnold
And Arnold spun around really quick and pumped a few into him
And that was it
So they left there
And then we go to Harry Shannon
Darren McGavin's character
He survived that shotgun blast
But he kind of took some to
I think his spine or something
Because he was a little crippled
so we had the little emotional scene where Arnold came in.
I hated this scene.
I mean,
but I felt it.
I mean,
but he did because Baxter was like,
I'm not,
I don't need to walk anymore.
Arnold was,
look,
man,
I helped you out.
So I'm,
you help me out.
So I'm here to help you out is what they said.
So,
Darren McGavin starts slowly walking around,
or just barely moving and got to Arnold.
They hugged and the awesome 80s freeze frame and then the movie's over.
Well, they had to add to the drama too because you remember he tells him that his wife's pregnant.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
And he's got to be like the god dad or something.
And you got to walk.
You got to take that step.
I don't know.
I just hated this whole thing.
Well, he did tell him he was looking.
man, I got home and Amy was all good.
Now I'm back in the FBI.
Now she can go on her spending sprees and spend all my money.
That was the only reason why she was mad and drunk
because she couldn't live the life that she was used to,
just spending all of Arnold's money.
But that's some women that I know.
Not all you young ladies out there,
but there's some gold diggers out there.
She seemed like one of them because she was just ungrateful.
We can't live here.
and she was all drunk.
But it still looked like they were doing good.
They weren't like living in some little one house or one room shack.
Yeah, a nice little house.
He was a sheriff of town.
I mean, it could have been worse.
Yeah, it could have been living in a trailer somewhere.
And he could have been a security guard.
But I don't know.
That was her.
But anyway, I assume she quit drinking because he knocked her up because it's not good to be drinking when you're pregnant.
so but yeah
the happy ending in the freeze frame
or the 80s I still love
when they do that I mean
I don't know if any movies do it today
but they did it
fucking almost every other movie
in the 80s but again
this Arnold film it's good
I mean I'm glad that we talked
about it and we
we um
it's I think it's just one that's never really
talked about that much
that I mean all out of all the pods that I've listened to
I mean, everyone talks about running man or Terminator or Commando or something, but no one ever does this one.
So it was good to rewatch.
And I was glad it was on Amazon because I'm sure we had to search other means to get to this one.
But overall, what did you think of the whole thing?
It's definitely not one of my favorite Arnold 80s movies, but I think if you are a fan of Arnold, you owe it yourself to watch it.
there's some good action in here
some good hand-to-hand stuff
it's different seeing him
kind of play this undercover role
where he's not really trying to
just murder everybody through the entire
movie like say
Commando where he just goes on a
killing spree throughout the movie
and yeah I didn't realize
between these two movies that
we're going to talk about
Arnold was just wearing so many suits
more suits than I've ever seen them in
and I thought the cast was good.
The story was pretty good.
And, yeah, I had fun with most of it.
It's just I couldn't get with that overly happy ending that just happened.
I couldn't get with it.
Well, they had to show that.
I mean, to show that kind of the more friendship of Arnold and Darren McGavin's character.
Yeah, but they threw in the wife as all of a sudden,
she's just conveniently okay with everything and they're going to have a kid and
it's a little too much happiness for me well I guess there's happiness in this
next one as well but we're going to go to 1988 to a Walter Hill classic well I guess
it's a classic red heat I'm Ivan Danko Moscow's special police
I'm here to track down dangerous Soviet criminal.
A Chicago police officer is helping me.
The Chicago cop never relinquishes his weapon.
Here.
Now I know why we invented vodka.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Belushi, Red Heath.
A tough Russian policeman is forced to partner up with a cocky Chicago police detective
when he is sent to Chicago to apprehend a Georgian.
Georgian drug lord who killed his partner and fled the country.
Where was the other synopsis?
I kind of like that one a little more.
A dedicated Soviet cop arrives in Chicago where he is reluctantly teams up
with a foul-mouthed American detective to comb the streets of the windy city
for a Russian drug dealer who killed both their partners.
Now that's a synopsis right there.
That's why, I mean, if you just Google,
Google it. They always have one
there, so I kind of go back and forth on those.
Yes, directed by Walter Hill and produced by
Walter Hill also did. He wrote the story as well as the screenplay
with Harry Kleiner and Troy, Kennedy Martin,
and yeah, those
three guys did it.
Geez, 35 million
is what a box office. It doesn't say
what the budget was for this film.
But, of course, we're still in Chicago that looks like L.A. at some times.
But, I mean, this one was cool, man.
I have not seen this one in a really long time.
I picked up the 4K edition.
I think it was like $10 at Walmart, so I had to get it.
I know I'd have it on DVD somewhere as well as VHS.
But this was one of the ones that when I seen it,
I left the theater like, eh,
Yeah, that was okay.
I was, what, 17 when I saw this?
I only saw it the one time in the theater, as well as raw deal.
But I know I've seen this again when it came out on VHS.
And I think the last time I watched this before this rewatch was when it came out on DVD, however long ago that was.
Watching it now, 2020, Niz, I think I enjoyed it more than I did the very first time.
I did enjoy this one more.
I mean, I loved Rar Deal.
It was a good film,
but I love this one a little more
just because of the comedy aspect of George,
of James Volusci.
I thought he was funny when he had to.
There wasn't many one-liners in this as well,
so I thought that was cool.
My only problem with this film
was Arnold's Russian accent.
It came and went.
And it was just a certain word,
that a friend of mine,
he speaks a fluent Russian
and he was like,
oh my God, man,
what was he trying to do with this film?
But everybody in it was cool.
I love Edel Ross.
We talked about him
and Action Jackson.
He's in this.
Peter Boyle, Frank,
from everyone knows Raymond,
and he played the monster
and young Frankenstein.
A very young, slim and trim,
Lawrence Fishburn.
uh
Richard bright
um
Byron James
uh the ice man
he's in this
uh Peter Jason's in it
for a second when he's on TV
uh as another
well Walter Hill likes to use a lot of the guys
uh that he's uh
dead other films with like
uh
Baron or Brian I don't know
I think it's Brian or Baron
whatever James
uh he was Iceman in uh
another 48 hours
but he wasn't in the first one as well.
And the black gentleman that was working for the ice man,
he was also in this.
He was the guy in prison, the blind dude.
I think the guy we're talking about the dude that was in the running man.
His name is,
I think it's Savin, Oli Thorson.
I will go with that.
These are the films you guys know him from.
he was a gladiator hard target
the running man
um
predator
the rundown
uh end of days
um
let me see what else
Cole the Conqueror
that was garbage
um
eraser he was in that
bulletproof
uh he was a Laforz
for you Kevin Smith fans
and mall rats
um
he was in a Clint Eastwood
favorite of yours
uh pink Cadillac
garbage
I'm
I try he was in twins
as well
and he's
jean lethal weapon
oh man
he's he still
is he still acting now
um
the last thing he did
was 2011
so I don't know
maybe he's just
kicking back with all his money
but
yeah he's in this
he's just one of the
the dudes
one of the background guys
but I can't leave out the beautiful
Gina Gershond
She's in this oh yes please
I think she's like pushing 60
And if she's not in her 60s already
But man she is 58
Oh yeah
Woo
Still looks hell of good
I follow her on Instagram so I know
She's still hot
But I've liked her in everything that she pops up in
But
Edel Ross as Victor
Rostale. We'll go with his
alias when he went to America. It was just Victor Rasta.
Yeah.
Arnold is Ivan Duncan and Jim Belushi is Art Ridski or Rizzit.
Rizzi, I don't know. How do you say?
Rizzik.
Peter Boyle was, was he like the police chief?
Yeah, he was a, they kind of did a play on him.
they didn't want to make him the stereotypical yelling all the time police chief he was the
uh trying to he was almost like what's his name from bad boys because he was trying to do all the
woo saw the the spiritual calm down type stuff yeah and uh uh lawrence fishburn was
lieutenant stobbs he was just one of the cops that didn't agree with uh what was happening
but uh edel ross character victor uh he was just uh he was just
a drug dealer in Russia and then
he kind of killed
Arnold's partner
during a little raid when they were
trying to bring him in
and he he kind of defected to
America
so he's hiding out there
how did they find out he was in Chicago
he got arrested for
I think it was like a routine traffic
stop and he had
I think of
something about his license was fake or something
they ran his name
Oh, yeah, that's right.
But then they find out that he was
He was born in America,
but then went to
Russia.
But, I mean, I thought he,
I mean, Edo Ross is cool.
I like him in everything he's done.
Even if it's just a small little role,
I think this is probably one of his main roles
where he was the bad guy the whole time.
But Arnold was good.
He's in physical shape.
I don't know what was up with that bathhouse scene
in the beginning.
I don't know if I could sit in a room with a bunch of naked ladies and guys and loincloths and all that, but I don't know.
It would be hard.
Maybe it's a Russian thing.
I don't know.
Because everybody was kind of minding their business in there.
Yeah, I didn't see any tents popping up in there.
I don't know what was up with the loin cloths.
I mean, I like my butt covered as well.
Yeah, I was, I don't know.
Why don't you just cover everything or?
Because Arnold was all muscle, all even in the back.
I was watching some of the extras.
They said he purposely flexed his butt muscles when he was walking up the stairs.
I was like, oh, damn.
I'm sure he did.
You ever see him in a, what's that bodybuilding movie?
He did, Pump and Iron.
Pumping iron, yeah.
Yeah, he's he's he's he's hella cocky in real life.
So I can, I definitely believe that.
But he went in there to get somebody,
well, someone that didn't really have nothing to do with the story.
And they ended up fighting in the snow.
And these guys are stronger than me because I don't know how cold it is in
snow in Russia but falling out of a hot
sauna room into the freezing snow and then start fighting
I don't know did he did he get punched in the jaw right there is that's why
that Mark was there the whole movie?
Later on I think I don't think it was from this fight because
because we get the badass scene where they drop the hot coal in his hand and make
him hold it and then he knocks it then he knocks the guy through the window
And then he's fighting with the the one guy the that's in all the movies that we just talked about but I don't I don't think he got that mark here
I think oh he got it when he went into the when they tried to arrest Victor the first time
When yeah when they when him and his partner went into that little bar
Mm-hmm and then it just turned into a shootout he got he got punched in the fit well he started fighting first before they started pulling out their guns
And I don't know what kind of gun that was but I
I don't know.
I know it was a Russian gun.
He said it in the film, but I,
I didn't like the way that barrel looked.
It just,
I don't know.
I mean,
I don't know nothing much about guns,
but I just didn't like the way his gun looked in that one.
But Victor ends up getting away after the big fight
and shootout that they have in there.
He actually ends up killing,
no,
when Victor's out and gets away,
Arnold's partner,
I can't remember his name.
He ends up.
catching him and he's trying to get him and then the victor turns around and ends up shooting uh
arnold's partner and kills him yeah his name was uh yuri all right yeah he was one of the little blonde
guys so he was that was the main reason why they send arnold to uh america to uh go get victor
bring him back i take it they were going to bring they weren't going to try trial do a trial
or anything in russia were they just going to bring him back and kill him i think so
So, because they kept saying he's bringing that, we need to stop him from bringing that American poison to our country.
And then you get some backstory on him and who his father was.
And they got that whole thing where Lawrence Fishburn's, like, he was tried for Brigandage.
And they were like, what's that?
And Arnold's like burning and burning villages and raping women.
So he's got quite the background.
so when he got to Chicago did he just immediately hook up with that black organization I can't
remember what they called themselves remember they were all bald I think this was I don't
know because I always thought that this was always his connect because I kept saying
bringing that American poison and so I just kind of felt like he was always dealing with
them. Okay, so the dude that was in prison, Abdul Elijah, he was the main guy, right?
Yeah, the, what did I call him, the clean heads? Yeah, yeah. He was, um,
Tyrone Burroughs in another 48 hours. He was the one that was working for the Iceman in that one.
That's like the only thing I ever seen him in other than in this. I didn't even know he was in this.
I totally forgot.
He was in prison for some bad drug thing probably,
but that's where he was running it all from
because they had to go there and find out why Victor went to them.
And I think that's when they told him again.
Yeah, that was when they told him that we were in his connection.
They were shipping it all back and forth to Russia and everything.
Was it just Coke or was it heroin?
think it was just coke going back to the fight when that when they first got into the victor um
uh the times that i've seen coke uh in bags uh being smuggled but um these just little small
little bags that one they're not big bundles like in scarface or anything um uh my friend's brother
was a bad guy he's in jail now so you kids stay away from drugs don't deal drugs you end up in prison
anyway um the one of a victor's crew um arnold that kind of started fighting with him grabbed him
and flipped him over i thought he snapped his leg because i was like it made his snap
yeah but then he pulls off his prosthetic leg and dumps out coke um
did they just scoop it and just dump it in there and or i didn't understand what that was for
been different if it was like wrapped up in a bag
but they like just dumped it in their raw
because he just ended up dumping it out.
I was like, I don't know if I want Coke
after some guy's sweaty stump
who was sweating all over it.
Yeah.
I'm sure they cut it up with something
before they put it out in the street.
So yeah, we find out that he
was dealing with Abdul,
Elijah, and his crew.
Victor was, and they were going to bring all the Coke over, all the American poison over to Mother Russia.
So that's pretty much the story.
They were just trying to stop him, and he was just a drug dealer.
There was nothing really, like, surprising.
Like, it was Arnold's brother or something like that.
I mean, the story was pretty self-explanatory, like right from the get-go.
So you just had to throw the Arnold action in it.
And then, yeah, another one, this is another one where it was just, he had his Russian, I assume, police uniform.
And then he rolled in with the green pimp suit.
Are they police or because they look more military?
I assume they were police because I doubt they would send a military soldier over to get them.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know how they do things.
over there, but I just assumed he was a police officer.
Yeah.
So the rest, I mean, they're just trying to just find Victor and get him.
They all have close calls, but he always ends up getting away.
When Gina Gershaw's character comes in, she plays Cat Manzetti.
She is, they find out that she is, well, she tells them, because they go to question her and want to know why she was dealing with Victor, and she's, oh, that's my husband.
but then later we find out that she was basically just helping Victor stay in the country
without having a travel visa or whatever.
So because she got paid, I don't know how much to just basically do the fake green card thing.
So that was like it was 50,000.
Yeah, that was the reason why she was in this, but I didn't mind it.
she's hot i loved her and everything she's done her movies aren't the best but i can deal i can deal with
it i did like her in uh what was that movie with nichols cage uh face off yeah that one
but the movie is what it is everyone um i really liked that one she did with jennifer tilly
were they bank robbers oh yeah what was that one bound yes yeah yeah
I haven't seen that in a while, but I, I remember the parts.
Yeah, they got some nice scenes together in there.
So, I mean, that was pretty much it.
They were just running around chasing them and getting into a lot of gun fights.
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean, it's a straightforward story.
You know, he's just kind of, he's after this guy that is a drug dealer.
And they got a little bit of a history because, uh, uh, Rasta, Victor Rasta, he mentions that,
Arnold killed his brother before.
So they got a little bit of a pass.
So you can tell he's been after Victor for a minute.
All right.
Okay, I just wanted to see what he was.
Captain Ivan Donko and Lieutenant Yuri,
his partner of the Moscow militia.
That sounds military to me.
It says the Moscow police officially,
the main,
the decorative of the Eternal Affairs
in the city of Moscow.
So it says police force.
So, all right.
Well, that's what they are.
And Victor is just a drug pin,
a drug kingpin over there in Russia.
So, yeah, that was pretty much the story of the whole thing.
And then you just throw in the comedy of James Belushi
because he's basically just,
um,
they just team him up.
He's supposed to be like the,
babysitter.
Yeah.
He was like one of those just
those hot head cops that just likes
to do everything his way.
And you know what?
We're going to give you an assignment.
Yeah, he's essentially
his character from, what's that
movie, K-9?
Yeah.
He's like the same guy.
You just
switch Arnold out with the dog.
But he was funny through the old thing.
I liked him. Again, there wasn't that many
one-liners, one or two at the most.
But the comedy of Jim Belushi, he can be serious and he can be funny when he had to.
But I really like Tim.
Edel Ross is always a good bad guy.
Lawrence Fishburn was the asshole of the film because there was always one asshole in the police force.
And man, he was slim and trim.
But then this was 88.
Now he looks, not how Pops looks now and blackish, but he's still out there doing it.
What was he in John Wick?
Yeah, he's he was the
The guy that was like the the boss of like the underground with all like the homeless people or the people that were acting like they were homeless or something
The something king
He had a name
The bario king
There you go
Yeah
So
It was good to see him I mean it's good to see him when he pops up in anything
Yeah, it's kind of a bummer I
I guess he said that he hasn't been asked to come back for the Matrix.
He has to.
I mean,
that was pretty much Neo's mentor.
I mean,
they're bringing everybody else back,
so might as well.
I don't see why they shouldn't,
but I don't know.
I'm sure Keanu's got a lot of pull in it.
Look, man,
he's got to be in this.
I don't know.
Keanu, if you listen,
make sure that Larry Frischburn,
is in this.
I was watching
Dream Warriors
when he was Larry Fishburn.
Do what you got to do
when you're in Hollywood, everyone.
Again, this film is good.
I mean, I loved it.
Of course, they end up getting the bad guy.
I think one of the scenes I remember
was mainly because of the trailer
when they're doing the showdown with Victor
in the buses.
When they jump in, well,
there was a bus
that was coming in to Chicago.
I can't remember where it was coming from, but it was loaded up with drugs and money.
So that was the reason.
Because when Victor got to America, he had a locker key,
and that's where he had all his money for this big drug deal that was going to happen later on in the film.
But Arnold ended up getting it from him during one of their altercations.
So Victor was looking for Arnold.
Arnold was looking for Victor or Ivan was looking for Victor just to get that key.
And that key was went to a bus locker and that's where all the all his money was.
So when they got the money, they did the trade and then the drugs, but then it goes sideways.
Arnold and Jim Belushi go running.
Biz, they killed all the black guys, right?
Yeah.
Throughout the movie, it was mostly Arnold.
And then the, not the main guy, but the main guy that was doing the deal outside of prison,
And Victor killed him in the, it was a double cross.
He killed him in the bathroom when he was counting.
And that's such an odd place to count millions of dollars is in the public bathroom.
Yeah, I mean, left got my car and started counting the money.
Yeah, because he went in there and just opened up his suitcase and started counting.
And then Victor walks in and blasts him and grabs all the money.
Yeah, he wasn't even in a stall or nothing, just right down the counter.
Yeah, he didn't even have any like,
backup with him.
Well, they were all dead.
Oh, that's right.
Did they kill him all before he?
Yeah, that, yeah, it was at the hotel.
They went to go kill Ivan.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
They went with Victor and Victor told him the wrong room to kind of set him up to have
Ivan killed him.
And then he went for the key.
That part was fucked up.
Because when all those black guys charged.
into that room that Victor
told him to go into.
Some dude just finished
working up
with some hooker.
She was sitting there, chilling, and
they come in and blast him.
He comes running out of the shower,
just dick swinging and
they fill him up with holes.
I loved that she pulled out her little
gun and started shooting out of.
But yeah, that was
in that big old gunfighter, man,
because Arnold goes running after Victor
and Jim Belushi
they just started blasting everybody that was in there.
Yeah, because he has that big ass revolver now
that he got from Ritzig
because they took his gun at the police station.
Yeah, because it was a, how hell did you get this into?
And he said he had the diplomatic immunity.
Yeah, it made me think of lethal weapon too.
He had that.
well I guess you can do what you want but you can't bring in weapons
foreign weapons into the country but yeah especially especially if you use them
I don't think that's allowed it's not like they don't do that anyway but anyway
it's another show but anyway all right god damn it all right I owe you one because
you saved my life tonight here Captain Denko you are now the proud owner of
most powerful handgun in the world.
Soviet buttering 9.2 millimeter
is world's most powerful
handgun. Come on, everyone knows the Magnum 44 is a big boy in a black.
Why do you think 30 Harry uses it?
Who is 30 Harry?
So once
Victor gets away with
the money and everything, because he jumps on a bus,
Arnold jumps in a bus and starts hauling ass after him.
I don't know if you've ever been to Chicago,
but those streets were pretty,
empty for them to be doing this busing and the times that I've driven in Chicago like
LA and New York when those streets are always packed especially where they were but
hey it's a movie but I loved how they were chasing each other and just slamming in
the cars left and right just trying to get the hell out of there but then they
end up facing each other and that this is the the standoff the playing chicken
because they were just hauling ass at each other.
James Volusie is the one that made me,
that had me laughing in this,
because Arnold and Victor were just serious.
They didn't give a fuck.
Because they were gunning it,
going straight for each other, right?
With Ritzik, he kept going,
tired, turn, or swerve?
Then he grabbed the wheel and swerved,
and they kind of went and crashed somewhere else.
Oh, yeah, they flipped.
Yeah, because Ivan was so serious
because Ritzig was yelling at him.
He was like, you could have killed us.
And Ivan was like, yeah, but we would have killed Victor, too.
I just love him.
They went, ah, started screaming.
Well, lucky he did grab the wheel in turn because they ended up flipping over.
And Victor's, his bus went flying straight and thought he got away with it.
And then he got blindsided by a freight train.
I guess soon that train must have just been starting its run,
because if it was coming full speed,
it would have went right through that bus.
But it was funny.
I liked how they go running over there
after they climb out of the bus.
And Victor's still alive
because you can clearly see
the way the train hit the bus.
It didn't really,
it didn't blow up or crash through it or anything.
So Victor ends up jumping out.
And then the train operator was screaming at Victor.
You motherfucker, you could have killed both of us.
And then Victor just pulled
gun and blasted.
Did he use his, we didn't
mention, he had one of them
sleeve things that the gun
pops out. He used quite a bit throughout this movie.
Did he shoot?
Oh, he, that's
what he shot the dude with
in the bathroom with.
Yeah, he had a silencer on it.
Yeah, he killed
killed his partner. I have his partner too
with that. That's right in the beginning.
Did he,
I don't even remember how Arnold got him.
Arnold just shoots him
I don't know
Did he pull out that little
wrist gun again?
I think he tried to
but this is probably
one of the
points of the movie
that I didn't really like
because this was kind of
after the whole bus thing
it just kind of
it was kind of anticlimactic
the whole showdown
between him
because he kind of just kills
Victor
and I think he tries
to use
the sleeve gun again.
Yeah, I'm trying to...
I don't even remember how he killed.
After the bus,
I know they had another standoff,
but I don't...
I don't remember how he killed it.
Well, obviously he shot him,
but I don't remember how he shot him.
Sorry, everyone.
That's just...
My old mind is going.
I don't remember.
I remember it a lot, though.
I just don't remember how it did.
Yeah.
I know he
Victor climbs out of the wreckage
and Ivan chases him and I think they just have a standoff and he shoots him
I want to say he is somebody's probably correcting us right now
but I want to say he tries to use the sleeve gun
and okay um
I found the scene
uh let me try to give you guys a play by
Marshall I hate fucking ads
they're killing me.
I know they got to make their money.
All right.
Okay, everyone.
All right.
Arnold punches his way out of the windshield or the bus.
It's flipped over on the side.
Him and,
how do you say his last name?
Rizzyk or?
Yeah, they get out.
Rizzyk.
He's,
Arnold is scream,
or Ivan is screaming at Jim Belushi and Russian
and they don't know what the hell's happening.
So, and this is when Victor shoots the train conductor or operator.
Ivan grabs his big dirty hairy gun, says, I'll take care of this.
He's staring at Jim Belushi, and Jim Belushi is just like, I give up.
This is very Russian.
So he goes walking after him, and they just do a little standoff.
like this like a showdown.
He comes walking out of the steam.
Victor starts shooting, pumps out a couple of rounds.
Arnold shoots like once or twice,
hits Victor with every shot.
And just, yeah, that's it.
Arnold never gets hit.
But Arnold's bleeding out of his forehead
from the crash in the bus.
So he blasts Victor up against a train.
And there comes Jim Volusci.
I'm sure he's going to say something.
Oh
Ghibli walks up
Jim Volusci walks up to and goes
Did you get him?
And then Arnold just looks at that.
I mean
Arnold was just too serious in this.
I don't know.
He was almost like he was
the Terminator in this movie.
Well, my friend was born here in America
and his parents are Russian.
But I don't remember
them being so serious.
I don't know, but
Yeah.
I had a Russian friend.
growing up and he wasn't
nowhere because it was it was almost
like you took
the Terminator and put him in this
movie and put him in
a green suit
and had him speak
Russian because he was very overly
serious and Terminator 2
when he first came
that see that was my
I mean I loved the
I liked all the Terminator films actually
but I know we're supposed to be talking
about ready but anyway um in terminator when he comes Arnold comes the the T one oh one or
whatever that his model number is when he comes his hair's not all spiky it's it gets
spiky because he gets burned and if he's coming yes but when he comes back in T2 and the
original one obviously the same yeah mold and everything did they like program hey man
let let's spike up his hair because they didn't like how his hair looked uh the first
we sent them.
And every time he came back, his hair was all spiky.
But even in Terminator Salvation when the CGI Arnold was fighting, that one dude, he had
spiky hair.
But anyway, I mean, I didn't make the films.
But yeah, how he looked in this one in the beginning, especially when he was naked,
flexing his cheeks, he looked just how he looked at Terminator 2 when he came in walking
into the bar all naked and everything.
Yeah, it was basically Terminator in this.
He was all stiff and all about business.
Did he even smile in this at all?
Maybe at the end, I don't remember, but...
I don't even think at the end when they do the whole watch exchange,
how he basically gets over on Ritzig
because Rizig gives him like a $1,000 watch,
and he gives him his, which is like a $20 watch.
and he does that thing in Russian
and he has
Rizik asked him what does that mean and he basically tells him
we're not politicians,
we're allowed to be friends.
I don't think he even cracks a smile.
The movie's over and he goes back to
he goes back to Russia
and they show him saluting
and
I don't know, just Russia.
Yeah, who's he saluting?
Or former Soviet Union.
I don't even know what they're called now.
Well, I know in the movie, like when someone
would say Russians he would be like
Soviet because that scene
with the oh I can't
think of the actor. The guy with the eyes
he worked at the hotel.
That was uh what's his name and
what was that movie with
when they were stuck
in that hotel out in the rain.
Yeah he was
wasn't he the one that was telling the story?
Identity.
He was just the night clerk. His name is
Yeah, yeah.
Purit Taylor Vint
I think that's how you say his name.
Yeah, his eyes.
He was the much younger.
Yeah, that's him.
Yeah, because he, he says Russian, and then Ivan corrects him.
It says Soviets.
Yeah, I don't know the correct term.
He was also in the Jacobs Ladder.
I haven't seen that movie, though.
I think the last time I watched that is when we did it on the horror returns.
Yeah, he's also, I just brought it up in canine with James Belushi.
He's the guy that the dog, the dog, like, bites his nuts in the bar.
I'm thinking of
For some reason I do
Oh, uh, Tom Hanks.
Yeah, that's only one.
I know I saw canine, but
Oh, Turner Houch.
I don't even remember.
I seen that once when it first came out.
Well, that's raw deal and that's red heat, everyone.
Um, sorry we didn't go three hours, uh, like we did on the last show.
I didn't realize that we went that long until I,
I was putting it all together.
I was like, damn, we went hell along.
I mean, it happens sometimes.
I mean, we plan to go a certain time
and just when you start talking about things.
If you guys have not seen this,
I'm not sure if it's streaming anywhere,
but for those you other means, guys,
it's out there.
And raw deal streaming on Amazon.
So definitely check both of these films out.
these are two Arnold classics
um
what is he got coming up
I haven't
he's got like a few things
uh
Arnold
he's got some
I heard he's doing some spy TV show
where he's actually gonna be the star
something called superhero
kindergarten TV series
that sounds horrible
was this the one that was supposed to be
leading to
or part of a kindergarten cop?
I have no idea.
I still haven't even seen the one with
what's his name was in the sequel.
I see it.
I see it.
Oh, it's animated.
This is a superhero kindergarten.
It's going to be a TV series.
I don't know when it's playing.
But a gym coach acquires incredible superpowers
from a mysterious comment
and becomes Captain Courage,
one of the Earth's greatest protectors.
He works undercover as a kindergarten teacher
to raise a new generation of superpowered kids.
Well, Stan Lee is a part of it, so it looks cool.
I don't even know if this aired yet.
Well, they animated...
It's Stan Lee's superhero kindergarten.
Okay, cool.
but the animation guy looks
there's Arnold
well a young Arnold
you're not all gray and everything
yeah just just give me king
Conan that's what I'm waiting on
this is the legend of Conan
there's really no
I like King Conan better
are you happy are you excited for triplets
and so it says
with the that's really happening
I mean I
I'll watch it
I'm not going to say I'm excited for it.
I like twins.
I mean, it was, I didn't really care for the first time I saw.
It was one of those ones I had to rewatch over and over.
And I just did a rewatch not too long ago.
I laughed at it.
But, um, all right.
Uh, has Eddie ever worked with Arnold before?
Uh, I want to say no.
I don't think any of them worked together before.
Well, I'm, I'm all for it.
I'll watch it.
It just says pre-production.
Wow, that's really happening.
He's the president in that.
I don't even think I've seen Kung Fury.
All right.
It was on YouTube for many.
Michael Fastbender, Alexandria shipped the Hoff,
David Hasselhoffs in it,
and a bunch of other people.
The story will focus on Kung Fury's universe
with no real connection to the short movie other than the lead character.
Okay.
Something called Outwriter, the TV series.
Well, it just says he's rumored.
So I don't know if he's really in it.
I guess he's in some video game.
Predator Hunting Grounds.
He's a Dutch in that.
I don't even know if that game is out yet, but.
I think it's like one of them,
I think the game's out, but I think that's like a downloadable character or something.
It was released back in April.
Oh, shit, I didn't know that.
I have to go get it.
I like those type of shoot-em-up games.
Fucking Triplis is really, this is blowing my mind.
All right.
It could be the old Julius Benedict, but okay.
yeah
I mean Arnold
you do what you got to do
I would like to see a
I still want to see well
I guess he's too old now
I just thought about
Kelly Preston
and have what's her name in the sequel
that was like his wife
yeah
wasn't that always weird to you
that they married sisters
I guess I don't know
and had kids
Kelly Preston's hot
no I'm just
mean like the kids like
I always wanted a
second part to last action hero
but he's much he's much older so I don't know
or even a
second part to the sixth day
I really liked that one
I just
I have not seen that one in years
I liked it. That's what Michael
Rappor was eraser
I haven't seen that in a long time either
I mean that one was good
while we're going through his movies.
Is Conan on the docket at all?
All right.
Just those two?
Yeah, it is.
I mean, if you want to do the MoMA one, we can, but I didn't put it on there.
Dive into it.
I haven't seen it once.
I mean, it was all right for what it was, but it's,
there's just some movies you shouldn't read.
make and Conan was one of them.
No, they should have just had
Maimoa do something new.
I mean, if you're going to make him a barbarian
cool, but just not be Conan.
No, she died. Well, she didn't
really die. You don't know.
That witch he banged.
In the beginning, she just flew off.
But I don't know.
I mean, I'm sure they could think of something.
Oh, yeah.
Red Sonia. He's only
in that for like a second.
remember that.
Oh, he did twins right after red heat.
I thought that was like much later in the 90s.
Okay, it's an 80s film.
Oh, total recalls in the 90s.
That one, that's still, I love it.
We did it on the show.
Mike and I and Theo, we were trying to figure it out.
I mean, mainly did it happen or did it not happen?
So, I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I know there's been a lot of videos where people try
explain it, but there was never
really a solid answer
that I've got from any of the
the creators of it.
What do we got coming up next?
I don't even know. Every time I find out everyone
is when you guys find out.
We are going to do Desperado
and once upon a time
in Mexico.
Once upon a time in Mexico. I know I have Desperado.
I know I want
to say once upon a time in Mexico
is streaming on.
Give me a second.
Sorry, listeners.
Should have had this.
I think it's streaming on stars.
Yes, it is streaming on stars, as well as Desperado.
Well, I have the Desperado.
I have that two-pack with El Marriachi.
Desperado, I've seen that a billion times.
I think I only seen once upon time in America.
Once upon a time in Mexico.
Like maybe once or twice.
I remember I saw in a theater.
I've only seen it once and I was a little iffy on it.
So I threw it on the schedules.
I thought it was a good time.
But rewatch and Desperado was a lot of fun.
And I haven't seen that in a while.
No Mariachi.
I didn't know it was a sequel.
El Marachi, yeah.
One of my friends told me.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, we'll talk about it.
We'll talk about it.
But it had that scene in it that kind of confuses you if you haven't seen.
I have to watch that one first.
I haven't seen that.
I know.
I have it. I don't have to just dig it out.
Once upon a time in Mexico.
The only thing I remember that was Johnny Depp.
You want to be a Mexican or a Mexican or vice versa.
Whatever he said.
And just a little heads up episode after that, the next week we are going to do
Demolition Man and Time Cop.
A little sci-fi action.
I know I just saw it. I'm doing rearranging in my studio.
So I just kind of threw my movies.
everywhere.
Definitely.
I haven't seen time cap.
Time cop in a long time.
We'll get into all those in the next couple weeks.
But what we got coming on East Society,
we just dropped the regular episode as well as we kind of did a bonus episode for
East Society's 31 Days of Horror, right friend of the show,
a writer, writer, director, and author Mike J.
Marin came on and we were talking about the 2020's shutter original host.
Mike hadn't seen it, so I said, well, let's watch it and we'll do a quick one on it.
So that's out there.
We just dropped those two as well as regular McNez.
Mike comes on again, and we talk about his book project.
And the Zisu has his Big Brother quarantine for you Big Brother fans.
he's got that over on anchor
you can also hear that feed on
Apple Podcasts and wherever you hear podcasts
just search MacNez or E-Society
and it'll pop up
but
I think that's it until we got a regular episode
I was going to drop another
McNaz but
a friend that's going to come on
had other engagements
to deal with first so I'll put that one on hold
until we can figure out of time
but yeah more East Society's
coming and we're just gearing up for
31 days of horror. If you
guys are not listened to any of that last
year, Brian and I went on a tear.
We did all kinds of movies.
So definitely if you guys want to
warm up to what we're going to talk about, go back
to last October and listen
to all 31 episodes
of those because we've got 31 more
coming. Brian definitely
will be back on there. I don't know how many
times as much as I need him.
Him and Mike. That's mainly
going to be him and Mike. Oh, Mike's going to come on with us
when we do tourist trap.
Because he'd never seen it before.
So I said, well, come on with me and Brian.
Okay.
So he's like, all right, cool.
Look forward to that, everybody.
And yeah, I think that's it.
All right.
So until next time, everybody, be safe out there and party on.
All right.
On the horror returns end, about time you hear this,
so we got John Carpenter's
Apocalypse trilogy that we did with
chat C from binge media.
And next one,
week, we have the Hills
Have Eyes, the 1977 version
along with the 2006 remake.
We might have a guest, I'm not sure yet,
so you just have to tune in.
And until the action returns, everybody, be safe.
