Baby, I need some action tonight. Everybody to another episode of the action returns. This is episode 20. I'm your host, Brian. And with me, of course, always my co-host on many shows. Nes, what's up, man? Not much, man. Just dealing with holiday travelers.

And you guys should be staying home. but who am I to tell you what to do? It hasn't been that bad, actually. Usually this time of year, a day before, well, two days before Thanksgiving. Everyone just starts, everybody in their mother packs up their whole house

and takes it wherever they're going. I'm not sure how tomorrow's going to be, but we'll see. from what I understand it ain't going to be that busy so I don't know we'll see I mean for those of you that do are flying just wear your mask and don't act up on the plane because fools act up on the planes and next thing you know you're all over YouTube and Instagram and everything else

but yeah just keep it under control when you're on the planes But other than that, man, not to bring the show down in the very beginning. Well, just good and some bad news. My grandmother, she caught COVID and she got over it. So that's good. Okay. But my mom has it now. So.

Oh, no. How's she doing? She just found out this morning. that she had it. She had a sore throat and earache and headache and all that. She's not coughing or anything, but

they gave her some antibiotics for the sore throat and their ears, but hopefully she can just get through it. My grandmother's in her 90s, and she's pretty healthy, and I'm glad that she made it through it. Because from what

they were telling what she told my mom is that they couldn't do now my aunt also got it because they both live in the same house my aunt takes care of my grandmother this is my mom's mom and I was like oh my fucking dumbass cousin was running wild and he got it and went to go see my grandmother and I'm like you motherfucker man

I mean he knew he had it and he went to go here? Yeah. Oh, wow. So then he tried to blame my other cousin saying that, oh, it was him. Oh, it's like you. So, but he's not doing so good either. From what I understand, he's in the hospital right now. I guess he's out one of those makeshift hospitals that they made that because the hospitals in Arizona, where he's at is just

every room and every bed is taken so they had to build like a big tent basically and he's out there and um that sounds like some movies or something yeah man uh reminds me of all these outbreak movies like uh what was the last one I just watched the crazies the original

not the original but the remake on how they had them all in a tent or even uh Cloverfield uh watching that When the ones that were getting bit by the little monsters, they had them all in tents and everything before they blew up. And I was like, oh, man. But she's in good spirit. My mom's in good spirits.

So that's good. But it just, it was kind of tough to even think today. I mean, my mind goes to the worst. And my mom, she's a strong woman. So I'm pretty sure she'll, she'll be all right. But I'm just hoping my dad doesn't get it. Because they have two rooms in their house, so I'm sure he's sleeping in the other room. Hopefully my mom is just staying in her room.

But she says they're doing what they can. They're both wearing the masks in the house. And she's going to try to just stay in there. She's got her own bathroom, so that's okay. But maybe hopefully she can at least. get up and move. Oh, my dad doesn't have to go in there and help her up. Because the way my grandmother and my aunt were saying is they just,

they couldn't move. They said it just hurt and they were so tired. Because one of my other cousins, she got it. She's down in Southern California. She said that she goes, I thought I was dying. She goes, I could barely make it to the bathroom. I was like, oh, fuck. So, yeah, man, that's just been

bumming me out since I found out this morning. Because I just texted my mom and said, how's grandma? And then she's, oh, she's doing better. She's, they're up and moving around and everything. I'm like,

okay, good. And then that's when she flashed that on me. I was like, fuck. I mean, because before,

uh, actually before my grandmother got the results, my mom went there because she always goes over there to, uh, to bring food and whatnot. supplies and all that because my grandmother lives out in the res in Arizona way out in the middle of nowhere. I mean, like nowhere. You can walk around outside naked and no one will see you.

That's how deep into the res she's at. So my mom and dad go out there and just take just food supplies and whatnot for my grandma. She's old. She just chills and watches TV. But they got there and they said they were sick. I don't know why they didn't immediately leave or something I don't know but that was

that's how my mom got it because she when she found out that my grandmother had it she went and got a test and it was negative but then I don't know a week later is when she was starting to not feel good and then she went in

again and I was like fuck so everyone out there if you're spiritual or religious Just keep my mom in your prayers. Because it's, I'm just going to be a wreck for the next, at least a week. Hopefully, she can least get through it.

I know it'll be tough, but just get through it. Because I found out some of my other friends at work, got it. I'm like, fuck. I'm not around them at all. So I just found out today. Yeah, the building I worked at just had just had a second outbreak. Nobody told me. Came into work and I've seen certain rooms were closed down because of it.

And I'm like, you know, gave somebody a heads up. I know. I just call you and tell you. Yeah. I mean, I don't work with nobody. I work with one other person and that's it. then but still the you know common courtesy is like you know this happened yeah or you don't have to say who it is just say hey this yeah this happened so

yeah that i mean i i wouldn't know who that person was anyway so yeah i just talked to one of my friends she today and she she had it she said she didn't get it that bad so i'm hoping my mom doesn't get it very bad because she said i She goes, the only thing that was bugging her is she had a headache. And she was coughing, but she said it wasn't bad. She goes, as she said felt like that headache just would not go away. I'm like, oh.

But she had to get cleared before she could come back to work. So, but she, she looked fine today. She said she was doing better. And, uh, because they said, you cannot go back to work until you are just clear. So she's clear. So, I mean, everyone out there, just be safe. And yes, the holidays are coming. I know some people just don't give a fuck and going to pack their house full of family.

I mean, we want that too, but just different times, everyone. Just please be safe. Sorry to bring the show down. Let your mom know where our thoughts. some prayers are with her. We'll be thinking about her also. Right on. Yeah, this movie definitely got me away for thinking about it for an hour and 40s of minutes.

But let everyone know what we're getting into. We are getting into 2020's jujitsu. Yes, it is a movie called jujitsu. Action fantasy is that it's what's listed. and it's rated R, which kind of didn't seem like it. You know what I don't understand? How the hell are you still alive? It's made a pretty bad fool.

The comet you see in the sky right now. Passes over the earth. Every six years, it causes a portal. But when it's open, we get a visitor from a distant galaxy. The poet warrior in the sci-fi sense. The spaceman. He comes here looking for a fight with you. The Chosen Jiu-Jitsu.

If he doesn't get it, he stays, and he kills everything. That is Alien Politics 5 through 15. Now, you are all the chosen jiu-jitsu fighters. But as long as you die bravely, no one else will have to. He's crazy, like me. There's no honor. killing crazy. I can fly too.

Synopsis goes every six years, an ancient order of jujitsu fighters joins forces to battle a vicious race of alien invaders. But when a celebrated war hero goes down and defeat, the fate of the planet and mankind hangs in the balance.

That was Google. See what jujitsu is. I don't know. IMDB is pretty much the same synopsis. This stars Alan Musasi. I'm going to go with that. Frank Grillo, Jujoo Chan, Tony Jha, Nicholas Cage. This was directed by Dimitri, Legothetus, produced by Martin Barab, Chris.

Goodness, Christ. Eco Mendez. So what did you think about 2020's Jiu-Jitsu? Because I believe there is another film called Jiu-Jitsu, but we're talking about the 2021. Looking at this, director's

his filmography. I don't think I've seen any of this. I think he did the kickboxer reboot movies. I have, I only saw. the first two after that I tapped out or even the main guy in this film.

Okay, the poster I assume Nicholas Cage and Tony Jha are the big draws to this because they're like up front and center. Then you get that Juju Chan and then the other dude, Alan

how do you say his last name? Moose I don't know, Bousai. Oh, I guess he's in the kickboxer movies. Yeah, he was basically the Van Dam character, which, what was his name in it? Kurt Sloan, that was who he was.

Okay. He did some stun work and X-Men Apocalypse and Suicide Squad. Shit, he did hell of stunts for a lot of things. Dark Phoenix, the boys, that TV show, Star Trek. Discovery Let me see As far as acting He's only got

Other than the kickboxer film Some street fighter It was a TV series street fighter I think it was a web series Oh okay And some other things that I never even heard of White House down What

was that the one with Jamie Fox Yeah where he didn't want to mess up his Jordans Or whatever to happen in that movie movie? I didn't see that one. So, I mean, it just reminded me of that. Um, was that other one with, um, Olympus's phone. Yeah, that I only seen the first one. I didn't see that. Yeah, white, white house down. Got Lance's favorite actor in there. I'm, I'm not a Channing Tatum guy. Everybody is just, yeah. Um, but this one, um, from what I, I did

some, um, I did some. research on it before we really before we dive into this um this film it's presented like comic book they kind of show some comic book sales and everything before they turn into the live action i did not know that because this was based off of a comic book a series of the same title um

it's based on the 2017 comic book with the same name by who got this and Jim McGrath. Okay. Now I need to find this book because, man, this movie was awesome. I loved it. I wasn't expecting much,

mainly because of Nicholas Cage just takes anything. They hand him. So I wasn't expecting much. But Tony Jow and Frank Grillo are in it. So I said, okay, they kick ass. So I was thinking, okay, it'll be awesome. And it was.

I mean, like I said, it took me away from thinking about real life for a while. I mean, I loved how they filmed it. The CGI, some of it was a little weak. It just looked a little too animated. It wasn't rogue CGI. I mean, it was... Oh, gosh. But it was

decent. This was to me, we're spoiling this, everyone. So if you haven't seen this film yet, or you want to see it, check it out. But the synopsis pretty much

spoiled the whole movie anyway. So it's not really. There's no surprise. See, that's what I loved. That's what I liked about it the most. I didn't read into it. didn't watch any trailers, so I knew nothing of about of this.

At first I was kind of thinking it was going to be one of those back in the day martial arts films. But it took a turn when the alien came in. It's kind of borderline a rip off of predator. I got that vibe of how this these jiu-jitsu fighters. There's a force of them. There was like nine of them in the beginning. They're taking on fighting this alien that comes every six years. And from the history in the story that those aliens came and taught, where did this take place, actually?

Do you know? Let's see. Because there isn't much of a plot on. No, there is nothing. I want to say Burma. Okay, film and occurred June, June 2019, and Cyprus, and that is Republic of Cyprus, Eastern Mediterranean, the ancient temples of Begone in Burma. All right, okay, so Burma is where they're at everyone. Anyway, so these aliens back, way, way, way back in the day, they came to Earth and they, they,

taught the people of Burma, I guess, the art of Jiu-Jitsu. I don't know the real story of Jiu-Jitsu on where it began, but in this universe, it was taught by these aliens. So I was kind of like that. I thought that was really cool.

Yeah, I liked that part, but there was not a lot of Jiu-Jitsu in this movie. Yeah. especially Tony's job when he came in. That was all just Muay Thai. Yeah, because I'm looking at here, it says Nicholas Cage was trained by Hoyce Gracie, which MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fans know him.

The Gracie families are like a legendary family. And I don't necessarily remember seeing any Jiu-Jitsu going on, especially for Nick Cage, because it looked like he was mostly using a sword. You can clearly see it. Wasn't him. Yeah. Someone they just threw a wig on.

And these were off the faraway shots. But when the camera was up front and center, it was Nicholas Cage doing some grappling moves and swinging the sword around. Yeah. Well, it says here he was on set for only three days of filming out of six weeks. He must have did all his scenes. Like, he'll look quick. I mean, that, because if you think about it, what, he was in the beginning. and then he kind of came

maybe almost to the middle and then a little bit here and there and then his big final fight scene at the end damn they must have just filmed that all hella quick especially his fight scene

I mean that that either they did that in a couple days or maybe just did it all in one day but they did it in like a couple hours yeah But, like I said, I really enjoyed this film. I wasn't expecting much.

And I was just expecting Nicholas Cage. But he wasn't the star of this film. Alan Mawesi or whatever his name is. He plays Jake Barnes. He's basically the guy, the main player in this story. Frank Grillo, Tony Jha, Jiu Chan, Nicholas Cage and some other people. Those are all just side characters.

But all the martial arts fighting was badass. When the sword fighting came into play, I thought that was cool. The camera work, I liked what they did to it, what they did with some of the scenes. Kind of like when they mount the cameras onto the actors and you just see like their head moving and it looks it looks weird i thought that was cool i'm glad they didn't like do the whole movie like that or even or even in the beginning when um uh jake and uh what's tony jose character keung when those when they were trying to fight all those soldiers and

get away in the beginning i liked how they had it was like first person camera type of thing yeah i like how it it would switch from the Muwasi or what Alan Muwasi or whatever What was his character's name? Jake. Jake.

Yeah, I like how it would be his point of view and then it would switch to Tony Giles' point of view. I really like that. Yeah,

because that was awesome because you see them kicking out. You just see like their fists and their legs kicking and all. I thought that was cool. And then there was parts where it seems like

they set the camera down, then jumped out and just started whooping ass, then put it back on. And they took off again. So I thought, I thought that was neat. That was cool.

I liked how they did that. I'm glad they didn't do the whole movie like that. Because I wouldn't have been able to watch it. I'd have been sick. It's like that, um, what was it, Hardcore Henry or?

Yeah. I got like 10 minutes in. I couldn't do anymore. It was, I was so dizzy. It felt like I was going to throw up. So I was like, yeah,

I liked hardcore Henry, but it would have been better if it was a short. instead of an hour and a half, two hours, whatever it was. Yeah, I mean, I want to see it. I mean, it started out cool, but I just, I couldn't watch it. I mean, that's why I can't play those video games like that either. If I can't see the little character running around in front of me, then if it's just all I see is the gun and everything, I can't do it.

But again, like I said, it was a, it seemed like a little predator rip-off. Oh, yeah, it was. Predator. And you ever see the Geiver? Yeah. It kind of reminded me of the Geiver mixed with the predator. I liked how he looked. What was the, they gave it, they had a name.

What the hell was the, Brax. That was the name of the alien, I guess. I thought he looked cool Um Whoever the gentleman that was him Ryan Tehran I assume he's a martial arts guy as well

I seem like all these people were Everyone that was fighting It seemed like they were all had some kind of background in martial arts I love Frank Rillo I think they kind of sideline him in this Yeah he He could have been used a little bit more because he just, he was just seemed like that guy that was just always angry about something.

It was like, Jake, you know what to do. You don't remember Jake? You don't remember what we're supposed to do? It was like, that's all he kept saying. It's like, come on, come on. Come on with us, Jake. Yeah. It's like, come on, Frank, do something.

Yeah, because in the beginning of the film, we see Jake running, like, just running through the jungle. And we don't know why or who he is or what the hell. happening and these like ninja star things that this is when I was kind of like oh it's going to be one of these movies the sea because the see the CGI ninja stars or whatever that was flying at him they

they didn't look good they just looked too too cartoony but yeah and it was weird because it's not it was like Jake's running but he's clearly not worried about the ninja stars hitting them and then at no point

did I ever think the ninja stars would hit him? Yeah, I mean, I thought it was just someone chasing him and just throwing him at him. But later we find out what it is. But he's running, looking back, running, and these ninja stars are flying

to, I don't know how many were flying at him. And he wasn't even like ducking and dodging. He was just running straight. And they, clearly they added him, but. Well, not to knock the movie, but it's kind of like they forgot to tell.

him act like you got ninja stars coming at you because he was just running. Yeah, he didn't even like try to duck and duck and dodge or anything or try to hide behind trees because he would stop, turn around, look, and then they'd come flying and then he turned back

around and start running. And then he gets to a cliff and then he's like, fuck it. And I guess as he's jumping off a couple of those little ninja stars hit him in the back and then he just he falls into water. this is all during the day

and then night comes Nicholas Cage and just calls this guy fisherman that's Raymond Penhary they just they pull Jake out of water

and then they're not really sure who he is the fisherman guy is speaking whatever language they speak over there and he takes him back to his wife

I love the wife just as fishermen's watch. Everything she said was funny. So whatever language they're speaking, there's subtitles. So I liked how they did that. But they stitched up Jake and then

they were like, well, what are we can do with them? They said, well, here, take them to the American soldiers. And so they went, okay, so she put them in her little wagon and then drove them over there and basically was just going to drop them off, but none of them could speak.

whatever language she was speaking so they call up texts Eddie steepless or steples or whatever Steep whatever I can't say his name What did you think about him? He was hamming it up just a little too much but

I liked him and my name is Earl Yeah he was funny When he popped up I was like Whoa hey Why I didn't understand why those soldiers Were there I, yeah, it was, because they have a scene later when they introduce a female soldier.

Can't think her name, Myra. And, you know, they're trying to get Jake to remember something, tell them what's going on. And they say something like, we're trying to see if you're on our side. And I'm just kind of like, who were you fighting? And why are you there? Well, we kind of find out later on. But, I mean, at that time, we're not sure who these guys are, who these American soldiers are and why they're in Burma. Because Jake's just like, I don't know who I am.

I don't know what happened to me or anything. So she's to try to just interrogate him and just try to get some anything out of him. But he's like, I don't know. I don't know. And she's kind of going back up with the higher ups. And they're like, well, what does he say? she goes he doesn't remember anything and then

there's a lot of talking and then this is when they were gonna I don't remember where they were taking him they were gonna take him somewhere but then here comes Keung Tony Ja and as soon as he got on the screen

I was like oh it's about to go down and it did go down Tony Ja was kicking ass the Muay when we did a protector and the enbok I love those elbow shots in those knees and everything when when he's fighting.

So it was all like the camera following him too. Yeah, man, because it was whoever was holding the camera was like right behind them. And there was a lot of jumping off roofs and flips and crashing and all that. And I don't know who these soldiers are. I don't know if they're just straight out of boot camp or is this a special force? Because it seemed like there was special forces. none of these guys could shoot because there was just bullets flying everywhere.

It was all clearly CGI bullets as you see them zipping by. And yeah, they probably didn't tell them either. Like, okay, bullets are going to be shooting at you. Action.

And there was a lot of CGI in here. Because like Tony would like punch someone in the mouth and then you would like see a little bit of CGI blood fly. and the CGI was bad in here I mean but they were just he was hauling ass kicking ass and then he finds Jake grabs him and Tony John didn't say much

I mean when he does have dialogue it's kind of hard to understand them but he just like come on come on so he Jake's like all right fuck I don't know who you are but all right you're gonna break me out of here let's go so they're running and them or they are all kicking ass

both of them Jake and Kiyang. They were just whooping ass whenever they could. But then they ended up grabbing Jake again, right? Because

Yeah. Kiyang got away. Yeah, I think they got split up and he ended up going with that Myra, whatever. It wasn't even specified what she had to do with the military.

Yeah, and then we were introduced to Captain Sand. Johnny Tran from the past some periods. Johnny Tray, dude, he popped up Rick Yun, I think that's how he say his name. And he he's

Johnny Tran. I mean, if you guys remember him for Fads of years, he acted the exact same way. He was all badass and rough and tough in this film. But you knew there was something, some kind of reasoning why these

these guys, these soldiers were there, but we don't, we don't really know. So, um, where were they taking him? Somewhere. I don't know. Because they were trying to, I don't know. That one scene was a little, I didn't, I didn't understand what was happening because they were getting him ready to go somewhere. And then we, we skipped over the scene where they were giving him the, the truth serum.

And he just, all his fight skills right before then came back. to him because he just started whipping everybody's ass. Well, that's right, because she stabbed him with it. And then, no, that knocked him out. Yeah, but they still gave him the troops here right after, though. Yeah, because then his martial arts style came out, and he just commenced to whoop an ass to whoever, whoever was around. I mean, there was a lot of soldiers around.

Everybody that was coming at him, other than there were. shooting and missing every single time. With all the bullets flying around, I'm surprised none of the soldiers got hit by friendly fire. Because they were just running, kicking ass, and then they'd get their asses beat, guns still

firing in the air as they're falling down. So after did the Frank Grillo and all those guys come and rescue him? Yeah, Frank Grillo what's her name? Juju Chan

Carmen and a couple of Forbes, I think that was his name, the black dude. I think that's when they all came and then clearly Jake does not remember who they are but they're just like,

come on Jake, follow us and he just seems to follow anybody just because. Yeah, because he just went, all right, and just didn't question anybody didn't try to escape or nothing. He just was like, all right.

And they're like, hey, man, we got this, this plan we're going to do. And he's like, okay. And then we find out he's like, yeah, he goes, well, do you remember it? And he's like, I don't even know who I am, much less what you guys are talking about. I mean, those ones are like,

but that's what he was saying. That scene was weird. than they had like a big dude with him and with them and he was just like you don't remember the plan i was like he just said he doesn't remember anything but he's you know you just expect him to remember that yeah because every every time they everything they were when they were talking to jake was it was a question and he was like i i don't i don't know yeah because the carman's hugging up on him and he's like kind of like who are you and but they're still like I can't believe you don't remember the plan I was like come on give this guy a break yeah so Frank Grillo kind of just says all right man

this is what we're going to do uh we're going to go marching up this hill and we're going to see that comment in the sky and like what what the fuck is that and then this is when they explained to him that uh every six years the this alien comes this warrior Alam comes and basically challenges the the judithu clan or whatever they were called.

The nine. Yeah. But then, because when they said the nine, they looked around, there was only eight. And they go, yeah, well, one of the guys he got killed. And Jake's still like,

okay. Yeah, they were like, you don't remember what happens? I'm like, let's get past this. He clearly doesn't. not remember. Yeah, how many times that he had to tell him? I don't know. I don't remember.

It's like every time, every second or every few seconds, you don't remember? I don't know. You're like, I just tell you fucking 100 times that I don't even know who I am. But I like that. They did explain the situation on what was happening, why they're who they're fighting. And that's when they were told that the aliens, wherever they were from, they're the ones that taught the guys back in the day the art of Jiu-Jitsu.

So I was kind of like, hmm, okay. But then, because when they were walking through the woods, you look up and you see something in the trees and there was total predator rip off. So, but, and I was like, wait, what? And that's when I was

kind of like, aliens, what the what kind of movie is this? And then when they show it finally, I was kind of like, all right, it looks good. It doesn't look, it didn't look stupid. The only problem I had with the appearance of the alien, I didn't like that they kept showing his actual face. It's like he had his stupid face.

Yeah, he had a helmet on. And every now and then, they would show like an animated face. Yeah, I didn't like that. And it just did not look good. I like the one fact about him is when he got hurt, like if you can like shoot him with something. something and it would

a few seconds later he would heal himself yeah he kind of had that Wolverine type of thing where they because they say they go look it can get hurt but it'll it'll

give you like maybe five to six seconds so you need to just do what you got to do and if you're not going to continue to keep hitting them or whatever you got to get the hell out of there so because when the alien was taking some,

they didn't have guns. They weren't shooting. No, they had regular weapons. Carmen had that little wrist thing for little mini arrows. That was cool, but I wish they would have used it a little more.

Because that's why she hit it with one, but then it just kind of healed up. But when they had a big fight, but they were, no, the alien attacked the soldiers because Johnny Tran, that's what we're calling him, everyone. Johnny Tran just grabbed that machine gun and just open, fired on him and just

and then it was just riddling him with bullets, and then he went down. And then, I mean, they thought it was dead, so they kind of walked up on it, and then he just jumped back up because all those little bullet wounds healed up. And then they're like, fuck and then

did he grab grab him he he grabbed him and he would like I guess burn him with his hands okay that's right because he picked him up and then his hands got all red

and then I was waiting for his head or something to blow up or something but yeah that would have been cool so but he ended up taking out most of those soldiers did that Myra girl get killed yeah she got killed at first i didn't think i can't remember exactly what happened to her but i remember

thinking when it happened that there's no way she could be dead but you just never saw her for the rest of the movie yeah i mean there was a lot of the people they'd show that were up front and center and then they just disappeared yeah so she died after we get jake's meeting with uh what's his name uh nicholas cage uh Yeah, because Nick, he was just like, he just seemed like some old hippie. Yeah. Which is interesting I'm seeing here. He replaced Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis was originally in this role.

Hmm. I like Nicholas Cage better. I don't think, I mean, I like Bruce Willis, but I don't think he could have did what, uh, how Nicholas Cage was acting. Yeah, and it says, says here he, where to go? Where did I see?

He was channeling Dennis Hopper's performance from Apocalypse now. I guess that's what Nicholas Cage was going for in this movie. Okay, I can see that because he did seem, I didn't want him to be one of those, uh, try to be like the ancient ones or anything and like, oh, I know everything

and I'm spiritual and this and that. I'm really a thousand years old. Yeah, I didn't, I didn't want that. So, but he was kind of like, yeah, man. Oh, yeah. He was, he, yeah, he, yeah, okay, he was like Dennis Hopper. Uh, in that, because he, I don't know, he just seemed like a hippie type of guy. I don't know if he was puffing on on the good stuff but he always had no he was cigarette or adjoined his mouth because at this point we like we really didn't know him we knew that um uh frank gill grill in the gang that they knew him but they acted like it was nothing because he was like yeah he was just kind of like nichols case was uh what was his name uh wiley he was just going

along with the crew. Yeah, I was trying to figure out what the relationship was because he would go along with the rest of the crew, like you said. And then they got to one point, and there was like, Wiley, you stay here, you don't come with us. And I was like, oh, but it kind of seems like he's the elder statesman of the group that he knows a little bit more than you guys, which is like, no, you can't come with this.

Yeah, because I was kind of like, okay. why is he on the poster if you guys are going to do them dirty like this he's Nick Kewall did him a lot better than Frank Grillo their guys not even on the poster oh man but yeah so they they were they were going to look like that temple and um mortal combat because they were like yeah we're the well this is where we're going

and this is this is where we're going to we're going to fight them because when they get there And then they, because they explained it every six years when this alien comes, there's this portal in one of the temples there. And they said it opens up. That's how the aliens come. And then they have to be like right there ready and willing to fight to try to stop them. Because they said, if we don't stop them, he's going to just lay waste to everybody on Earth. I mean, they was just going to kill everyone.

Didn't matter who it was or anything. Whoever he's seen, he was just going to just kill everyone. So they said, yeah, so we're here. And this is why we need to stop him. And so Jake's still like, okay. Whatever you guys say, all right, I mean, because they kind of still didn't. I mean, yeah, they were explaining it to him, but he was just kind of, all right. You never questioned anything.

He just went along with him. I know. For all he knew, his name really wasn't Jake. Yeah. And he's just like, all right, if you say so. Really quick. Where did all these people come from, this whole, the nine? I don't know.

I thought they were going to give a little bit more backstory to the, because they looked like they came from different areas, different places. and I would have got a little, for a movie that's almost two hours, I wish I would have got a little something, like a backstory of how they were chosen or selected. Yeah, because, what, there was only, what, two Asians, Tony John and Carmen? I think that the big, the big, bigger guy, I think he might have been Asian. Don't quote me on that.

I don't know, but. And the couple Americans and a black guy. Yeah. But, I mean, it was cool because once they got to the temple, they were all like, yeah, okay, well, we're going to get ready. They show Jake the portal. It's just like the circle, like a cement circle within other circles on the wall. And they're explaining that this is where it comes when that. comment that was in the sky, they said as soon as it gets over to some point, I assume over that temple, it's going to open up.

And they had, so they had to be there because they knew when the portal opened, that's where the alien was going to be. So they're kind of just basically gearing up for a big showdown. But before that, where did, after the, after the, the alien kind of just basically ran through Johnny Tran and that whole special forces. Where did text come from, the comic relief? Because we just hiding? Yeah, he like disappears for a while. And then he shows up like to meet what's left of the nine.

And he's got like grenades and something. other stuff. And I don't know. I don't even know how he was in the military at all. Yeah, especially with his hairstyle, because he had the big, huge, crazy, the wild afro. I was like, they would not allow that at all.

But he was funny every time he came on the screen because he was supposed to be the translator. You know what? He might have showed up, or he might have showed up when they because throughout this movie the alien shows up and they're like battling him and he's like taking out

some of the nine like here and there and I think when that what's her name Carmen? I think when she gets hurt he takes them to the fisherman lady and I think that's when tech shows up because he brought them he brought the fisherman and his wife. Yeah

And then text was right there with him. And because he was, he was translating. But his, his translating wasn't very good because we, we see what the lady and the guy are saying. And then text is saying kind of like almost the opposite. He goes, yeah, my Mandarin or whatever he said isn't, isn't the greatest.

Yeah, because Carmen gets stitched up and he, she tells the fisherman lady, she tells them that she can't get up. She, she has, she can't. move for a while and then he translates yeah she said get up stretch you know run around um before that before they got to the the temple pretty much um the the whole crew got wiped out because Forbes got it the the black guy he his fighting was with a was that like a metal

pipe or yeah i think so because he went up against uh the alien and that was a good fight i mean the guy that plays alien Ryan Turan He Brax That suit must have been Real flexible or rubber or something Because he was doing the kicks And the flips and

And all that And I'm sure that would have been hard To do that I couldn't see Whoever was in the predator costume Flipping around and kicking And all that Because this alien had to know how to fight

So I thought all that was cool Because Forbes was bringing it to him with that pipe For a minute and then the alien pulls out his sword And then that that was it Because he just kind of sliced and diced him Yeah, I'm looking up him He's played by Maurice Crump He's like legit

It says Maurice is the only American protege of Ongbach creator Master Panna With Riddiqui I would probably butcher that name, but he's like a legit martial artist. Well, I mean, all of them, I mean, when the, the ones that had the big fight scenes, I mean, especially him, you could tell who had, who had the training. Is that why Frank Grillo's fight scene was very short? But he's a fighter, but that's why I didn't understand why he got a couple kicks and punches in, and then he got killed.

I was like. He had to have been there less than Nick Cage. Yeah, because he was hardly in here. Like I said, he's not even on the poster. Because after Forbes, this is one thing I really did like. Well, I like the whole movie. But every time that someone was getting ready to fight the alien, it wasn't like just, okay, we find each other and then just automatically go into battle.

it was like they had the kind of like they had the respect to bow and all that before they started fighting so I thought that was neat because when when Forbes had his pipe he kind of took a knee and then

so did the alien and then I mean later on when Jake was finding alien same thing because they both had swords and they both kneeled and bowed and then they got up and then commence to kick an ass. Yeah, I liked that too.

I thought that was cool. I mean, it was, I don't even know what Jiu-Jitsu looks like. I mean, to me, I just know my knowledge of movies and everything. It all looks different. The only thing that I can spot is Muay Thai. And I never even heard of that until I saw the protector and all that. Yeah, it's, see, like, finding out that, like, boy, Grace,

he was training Nick Cage for this movie. That means he was supposed to be using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and that's a lot of like arm bars and chokeholds and stuff like that, which I didn't see none of that in this movie.

He did Nicholas Cage, Wiley, he did a couple arm moves, but not much because, I mean, it was mainly sword-fighting when when he went up against the alien But then

When the alien grabbed him I mean that there was no We're jumping all over the place everyone There was no There was no fighting Because I liked how he went out though Because when he got it This was another thing

The alien was fighting someone else with a sword Oh it was when he was fighting Forbes Because it Forbes, like, ran at him. And it was kind of reminding him of, like, that samurai style where it was just, like, one swipe. Yeah. And then the alien turned around was looking, and then Forbes was looking at him, like, he was all mean, ready to kick ass. And then he just hunched over and was holding his stomach, like, oh, I was like, I like, I like, I like when they do that.

I mean, how they just run at each other and just give it one swipe. and then Forbes was, oh, he went down. And somebody else came in before Forbes got killed. It was one of the other dudes. Yeah, they had, the rest of the nine was kind of like random people. Because the guy that got killed with Forbes, he really seemed like he shouldn't have been there at all.

Yeah, I can't remember who that was. He just came running in. And then he was trying to help Forbes. But then Forbes, he wasn't going nowhere because he got sliced in the gut. So because they both ended up getting killed by the alien. Jake was, uh, Jake was going to, he kind of came back for a second because he was going to jump in. But that's when Forbes was on, nah, man, just get out of here.

Yeah, because they said he was the rabbit. Yeah. So when Jake was running, all of a sudden, somebody knocked him out. And then I was like, well, what the fuck happened? I thought it was the alien just kind of, because the alien could move really fast. And he had the predator cloaking device to where he can disappear in haul ass. So I was kind of like, whoa, man, what's up? And they just ripped off predator completely.

But anyway, when Jake comes. kind of comes to Johnny Tran is laying there or he's sitting by him like, he's like putting something on his chest. And you could see that he got burned on the chest. And then this is when he explains who they were, who those soldiers were. He was like, we're a special forces unit. We were coming here to fight that alien as well. Now, how did they find out about the alien?

I want to know what happened to the rest of the military. for us. I assume they all got killed. I think it was just Johnny Tran and Tex where the last two stood because he did tell him. He said, yeah, man, that's why

he said, we didn't know who you were or what you knew. Because he did say they did find out about the nine. But he was just, my mission was to find you

guys and then stop this alien as well. So I don't know. Maybe he explained on how they found out about it, but I was kind of like, all right. I mean, I think they were kind of like not really necessary because they all got killed so fast. Maybe they were just to get the body count up. And it was going to be just these, these nine that were fighting. Yeah, because Johnny Tran really serves no purpose than to tell him about the.

about the alien when he takes damage. He has five, six seconds of healing time. That's right. He was the one that told him. Yeah, that's essentially what Johnny Tran was here to do. Johnny Tran. How did he get killed? He just died.

Oh, that's right. He tells him what he needs to tell him, and then he just dies from his wounds. Yeah, all right. because yeah he said what he had to say and that keeled over so yeah this is when we finally get to the to the temple the only ones that are still standing oh no uh well well frank grillo got killed he got uh he got in a couple of lakes but then that uh the the alien stabbed him with was it a spear or something because he uh i liked how he went out because he he first of he like

kind of got him in the stomach with it. And he was like, and then the alien ran up and like kicked it in farther. Yeah. Gave him like a super kick. And then he went flying. He may not have had a good fight scene in here, but he definitely had one of the best death scenes.

Yeah, because after he stabbed him with that spear. And he was like, oh, fuck. And then it just ran up and gave him a super kick. kicked the end of the spear and then just shot him a hell of far. I was like, oh, but then it made me laugh on how far.

Is this one the other chick dies? Because there was another girl in the nine. Because remember, she's the one that he kicks her into that spike trap thing and closes on her? Yeah. Oh, what the hell was her name? June, I assume. That's the only other name other than Myra and Carmen.

That's right, because she was, she was trying to fight him too, but then he, like, gave her the boot because they had all these, like, traps set up. Did they set those up or were they just? I think they thought the, I think they set him up thinking they was going to be able to trick him. But he kind of seemed like he just was the ultimate warrior, if you want to say. and he just, these little common little traps wasn't even going to work because he had no point he ever went near them. No, he just kicked her and then it was kind of like a, like a, like a clamshell with all these wood spikes

because she fell into it. Well, first he kicked her and she got stabbed into it. And then it closed on her. And then she just, she was done. I thought she was hotter than the Carmen chick, but. Yeah. Yeah, she didn't really do much either. I mean, they all looked cool, but the side ones just got killed hell fast.

Yeah, if you're going to have something like the nine, I want the nine to be badass, not like three out of the nine be badass. I mean, they could have threw in, what's her name, Rhonda Rousey, should at least did something. She's farming right now. She's farming and she's doing her little online Twitch game streaming. She's living alive. Yeah, she can. She got the money to do it. So, okay.

Yeah, then we're, Carmen, she got hurt. She actually got sliced by the alien. So Jake, oh, no, no, this is, it was, was it after when Nicholas Cage got killed or before? They went, I think it was before. Because the final Bible. After, because. she gets hurt. He dies before she gets hurt.

Oh, okay. Because he has his little showdown, which he's no match for Brax. And he just kind of shoots everybody to look, kind of basically knowing that he's about to die. But they kind of do it in a way that it kind of seem honorable. Yeah, because that was another thing, too, because before Frank

Frank Rillo just got killed because they were all outside still because it was dark. He got killed and whoever that other girl was, she got killed. And I think it was down to just Jake and

what the hell was that chick's name? Carmen. It was just down to them and Nicholas Cage because that's when he pulled out his sword. And then he went up to the alien and they kind of bowed and did all that. Then they went into it.

The close-ups, you could see it was Nicholas Cage. And he did what he could. But then when the camera pulled back, you can clearly see it was someone else. But I liked how he went out, man. He went out like honorable. Like he knew he was going to die. But he at least kind of slowed him down for a little bit.

But I liked how he killed him. because then when Nicholas Cage looks over at him and they're kind of like, fuck, he, that alien, like, picks him up and gives him a backbreaker. Oh, and broke his back, like, over his knee. Snap, snapped his back. Wiley's like, oh, fuck. And then he's got this big knife or something that shoots out of his wrist,

the alien, and then he slices Wiley's throat. I thought that looked pretty cool. It didn't look that bad because when he slit his throat, blood just, psh. started pouring out of his neck. And then that was the end of him. So they're like, oh, fuck. So they, um, Jake went at it a little bit with him.

And, uh, this is, yeah, Carmen got to cut up. And then they, uh, they took off. And I think that's when they went back inside. And, uh, was she the one that told him that, uh, while he was Jake's dead? I think this, yeah, I think this. This is around the point when that was revealed. I mean, I was kind of shocked at that, too. I didn't see that coming at all because that's when she said, yeah, he was your father.

And he was like, wait, what? Yeah, and he didn't want Jake to know. Yeah. Or some reason. Because then he, there was a flashback scene. We see a young Wiley and a young Jake and he's teaching him how to fight and all that. And then he's like, that was not young Wiley. that was a completely different guy.

It didn't even look like you. But yeah, this is when a Tex and the fisherman and his wife show up because Carmen's all cut up. And they're like, yeah, we need that these guys are going to stitch her up. But then text like, yeah. He goes, man, I got these. And he was holding two hand grenades. And then the fisherman's lady was like, here, you should drink some of this to the, to the lady, or to Carmen, it'll help with the pain.

But she was saying it in her language. And they were like, what did she say? And he was like, oh, yeah, just drink this. It'll help. And she goes, I don't want to drink that. And he's like, well, fucking I will. So he started putting it back. It was some kind of booze.

It was just in a bottle. I like how he offered some to the fisherman. And he was like, no way, that's poison. They were like, okay. And then there were the fisherman The fisherman's wife was the one that she goes Okay we we can't move her Because if she moves around too much

Her stitches are gonna tear open And then Jake's like what she's saying? They go oh man she's good She goes yeah she's gotta do is stretch and move Come on let's go And then they're like all right fuck whatever So they kind of got her out of the way Because I knew that alien was coming

Because um No he showed the alien showed up And then because he did his little predator fast speed move because he came cloaked and he came running in and then him and Jake went at it I liked this fight I thought it was good man there was a lot of hand to hand and then they went to weapons

Jake had a sword which I don't know how I assume he broke into two so he had two swords he was fighting it looked like he pulled them apart like it became two swords Yeah, it's like he just pulled it in half And it was It was like two stores Two swords stuck stuck together So

He pulled that out And the alien had his And Before before they really got into it When Tex and all them were in there The This was funny Because

The alien Brax Started shooting those little ninja stars Out of his wrist And Texx was like Holding that bottle And said fuck this something out. It just started running. Not ducking and dodging

as those things are flying past it. I was kind of like, wait, wait, all right. Let me go back. When Forbes was fighting, that one big white dude, I think his name was Hector, it was either

Hector or Victor, one of those guys. When they jumped in to help before Forbes died, I think it was that one big bold guy. He grabbed that the alien grabbed him and was fucking him up. And then he was just laying there kind of knocked out. And then the alien had his fist over him.

And he had like a laser or something that shot out of one of his wrists and blew a hole. And that dude said. I have a question. With him, the alien fighting with such honor, do you think it's fair for him to have all these like? super technology weapons like cloaking devices

and lasers I think he only showed honor to the ones that like were face to face with them because everyone else when the ninja stars were flying all over the place and all that was just when everybody was running

because they were oh man yeah because he had that He only used that one little laser once The ninja stars multiple times I think he pulled that blade out of his Out of his wrist once or twice Because most of the time, if he wasn't

Brunning him with their hands or slicing them with his sword Yeah, I think that was it Yeah, but I Yeah, it's just kind of weird seeing ninjas Because he basically seemed like a ninja And it was kind of weird to see him use lasers Like American Ninja I forgot about that

Was that the second one or the first one? That was the first one When he had the wrist the wrist laser Oh man I still need to pick those movies up But anyway Um Fuck what I was I about to say

Oh We're at the temple When Jake was a Was about to fight the alien, I think things were starting to come back to him. After he found out that Wiley was his dad, then Jake had a flashback and he saw everybody when there was the full nine

because there was another dude with him. And he was the first one that got killed by the alien. Yeah, and Jake ran. Yeah, because he was running. And that's where the movie started when we see Jake running. and through the jungle and the ninja stars were flying after him so he gets kind of like, oh fuck, all right.

Now I now I remember but yeah, I like the fight they got into because it was hand-to-hand and all that first and then they pulled out the swords. So what was the plan? I assumed

to what they were going to do right then there because that oh the fisherman lady she jumped in with a shotgun and started that was amazing she was no joke

because her husband took off he was all scared she started pumping shotgun blast into the alien to Brax and is that what formed the hole in him no that was when they first when he first came

that was before the temple where they were stitching up Carmen okay but that shotgun was almost the size of her yeah it was surprised he didn't throw her down because I'm glad she didn't get killed I was waiting for a ninja star to hit her yeah oh she used that shotgun like she used it before

yeah oh um one little part we missed when uh the the alien was taken out all the soldiers uh when they were all outside fighting that's when he started hitting and everyone with the ninja stars. Because a lot of those soldiers were like, ah, they were shooting and running,

and they'd get hit in the face or in the back of the head or wherever, because he was finally hitting people with him. He didn't hit any of the ninth, but, well, I guess he did hit Jake in the beginning. But I thought that was cool when he was taking out all those soldiers. Because that's he just laid,

killed all of them, except for Johnny Tran and Tex. They were only two that got away. But, how did the alien get the holes in them? How did it happen? I think because it was Jake fighting him at first and then Carmen came in and I think she used her her wrist bow.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And that blew the holes in him and he's, you know, and then he, Jake in his mind, he hears Johnny Tran saying, you know, five, six seconds. and then Tex comes out of nowhere and it's like Jake and then like

kind of tosses him one of the grenades because Jake did was he like on his how was he behind him or was he standing on some or did he jump on top of the alien I think he just kind of threw it

in the hole like he was shooting a basket or something no because text threw him Jake grabbed it pulled a pin and then he jumped on his shoulders. Yeah. Okay. I knew he was behind him. We're on top of him.

But he shoved the grenade him and then text through the other one. And he did the same thing. And when he jammed those grenades in them, then it's healed up. So the grenades were inside of him. Jake kind of did a backflip or whatever and then just, did he like super kick him into the little portal? Because of the... Yeah, he gave him a little sweet chin music.

right into the portal. It explodes in the portal, but it only, I guess it only killed the alien. It didn't damage the portal. That's what I thought the plan was that they were going to destroy the portal. So I got to do this again

six years from now? Yeah, because they'd said that at the end, because after the aliens, it's sealed up, and then he kicked them into it. The CGI right here didn't. look good at all because the alien goes falling into the portal because it's open now and then it just blows up and then that's it and then the portal just kind of seals back up and it turns

into stone again and then text says see you in six years yeah uh i don't know i don't know why tech said that you had to get his last line in um and that was pretty much it i mean that was movie ended. It just ended. There was no... Well, I guess, did he give her a kiss? I think he did. Yeah.

And then, yeah. They didn't really focus on that. It was text trying to get his last line in there. And he said something to the fisherman's wife, and she said something back. And that's how the... But he was still drinking. He still had that bottle with him.

Yeah, because they were, like, all walking away. and he was power and that still. He said something to her, and she was talking shit back to him, and that was it. But do you think there'll be another one? I mean, that's why I want to read the books. I want to see where it's at.

I mean, I don't know if that series is still going, but it was a good idea. I liked what was happening. And when, oh, after all of that, then Tony Josh showed back up. And I was like, where were you? Oh, yeah. And they just kind of look at each other and do the little head nod.

Yeah, because before Frank Grillo died, they thought, Keeling Tony John, and Tony Joll, they thought he was dead. And then they were like, oh, man, you're still alive? And he was all beat up. And he said, he was like, well, he thinks you're dead. So why don't you just go lay in the bushes? and I thought he was going to do that and then come out when they needed him but he just

they kind of gave him a raw deal at the end of this movie he could have came in and kick some ass for a little bit before they blew up the alien I was waiting for him to come in and he didn't so he just popped up at the end

yeah I'm trying to find somebody tweeted us and it seems like he deleted some of his comments because he started out with, I'm not going to blow, I'm not going to blow a spot up like that, but I'll just keep his name out of it.

It says the amount of anger right now that I feel being tagged in a retweet, I don't understand life anymore. Y'all are part of the problem. And then, because I posted we were going to review this movie. And then he said, also unless your asses are getting paid

by the promotional team. It isn't starring any of them. You got Nick Cage for 12 minutes, Tony Jop for five, and who, but he seemed to deleted his other comments. And why did he go on this rant? Because he feels like, I read some of them.

He apologized later, but for some reason, that's gone, and he left this other shit. He feels like Tony Jaws headed in the way of doing, Hollywood shit movies. You do what you gotta do.

Yeah, I'm like, you know, I mean, he did apologize later saying, oh, I realize you're not promoting the movie. You guys are self-promoting your show. And I was like, give them a thumbs up because you clearly didn't read the post. And I didn't tag you in anything. So he got like super mad that we were reviewing this movie. He thought we were promoting this movie. Like we were getting paid or something.

I mean, I wish. Yeah, if you guys want to pay us, we'll review your movies. He seemed to be super angry that this movie exists. We'll take that check. This is on the action returns one or the horror return? No, because I think I reshared. I think I posted it on all of them,

but I think it was through the horror returns. I'm out. You're sorry. I don't know. I'll look for it. All right. Don't get so mad, people. Yeah, man.

It's just a movie. Yeah, I mean, we're not getting paid. But again, one of you guys, big time people want to pay us, we'll take it. Send it this word. Yeah. We could buy some movies. with it. You can buy those expensive box sets.

Oh, really quick. There was one thing I thought I liked, I thought was awesome. When Jake was fighting the alien, there was like these little pots with flames in them. I thought this was neat. Because when we saw the view from the aliens, his eyes, it was kind of like Predator.

It had the helmet on. and it would see heat. So that's how he was able to target everybody. But then obviously his targeting system didn't work because he couldn't hit anybody with these ninja stars. But when Jake was standing there on one side of the little, the flaming pot, the alien was like looking around and he couldn't see him. Because all he saw was the flames.

And you can kind of kind of see Jake, but not really, because he stayed behind the flames, so he couldn't see him. I like that because when he, when Jake realized that he couldn't see him, that's when he started throwing punches and kicks at him and hitting him. I thought that was pretty cool. You'd have thought the alien would have moved away from the flames.

I know. So what would you rate this? I'd give it an eight. I mean, I really enjoyed it for what it was. It's the little nitpicks and some of the CGI wasn't the greatest, but it would have been cool for a little more explanation on some of the things we're bitching about. But, I mean, other than that, man, I thought it was good. I mean, when the fighting was going and the action, I thought it was all good because these guys, these actors that were martial artists, they were legit, except for Nicholas Cage. they knew what they were doing.

So they made it, they made it look good. There wasn't much CGI fighting with the flying wires and all that. So, but

yeah, I'd give it an eight. I mean, I really enjoyed this. I'll pick it up if it's available. Yeah, I'm going to give it a seven. The CGI was, God, awful throughout this movie. But I'm glad there was no

CGI moments during the fight scenes. I really enjoyed the fight scenes, especially the main guy, Jake and Tony Jha. Carmen, she did her thing every now and then, and I like that. I really wish Frank Grillo had more to do, but I mean,

we did get an awesome death scene out of him. And I kind of wanted a little bit more Nick Cage. just I wanted I wanted at one point he got super wacky but we didn't get that but yeah if some things were explained a little bit better I think my score would have been going up but yeah it's definitely a seven for me I mean the movie it is what it is I mean I like I said I mean I did enjoy it I think I really enjoyed it more because I didn't I didn't see any of this whole alien thing coming. Yeah, you had no expectations.

Yeah, I had no idea what this was about. I was just looking at the posters and seeing Nicholas Cage and like, oh, okay. But Tony Jock, I would, when he was on the screen, he did his part. He was in it a little more than Nicholas Cage and Frank Grillo. But I wish you to just, I wish he would have came in more. My score might have went up a little more if he came in at the end and was really kicking ass. Well, I mean, technically he did come in at the end, but it was just the end of the movie.

I wanted to see him fight some more. I mean, I love when he's fighting. It's just awesome. And these are our ratings. These are our personal thoughts. These are we are not paid. We are not sponsored to say these nice things about the movie. these are what we actually feel about the movie.

Because if we are getting paid, we'd like everything. Again, any movie people want to pay us, I mean, we'll take it. And we'll be truthful. We'll give you our likes and our dislikes about each film like we always do. But action fantasy, I thought it was more of a martial arts, sci-fi. action adventure film. Yeah, I didn't get the fantasy in it. There wasn't really much fantasy in it.

I don't think there was any at all. I mean, but it was a good film, man. I mean, I really enjoyed it. Is it on Blu-ray? Because if it is, I'm going to have to buy it. I think it's coming soon. Okay. I don't see.

Well, I hope. Well, we enjoyed this one, and I hope we enjoy next episode, because next episode we are tackling Fat Man, starring Mel Gibson and Walton Goggins. It's labeled Action Comedy Fantasy. Fat Man? Yeah. Okay.

All right. Well, I can see the fantasy on that because we're dealing with Santa Claus. But I did see the trailer, so I know. what to expect, but it's Mel Gibson. Did he just kill his career or what? I don't know, because I posted a poster on one on social media. He's in some movie with Frank Grillo called, what was it called? I know it's available if you want to check it out now.

But the news came out that Hulu had bought the rights. But then, you know, sailing the seas, I had seen that it was already available. Force of nature? No. A boss level. Starring Frank Grillo, Mel Gibson, Naomi Watson, Michelle Yao. Oh, Michelle Yao. It is available.

Action sci-fi thriller. At least it ain't 10 hours long. That one's only an hour and 40 minutes. That's what I like, I mean, Jiu-Jitsu. It wasn't very long. It's about an hour and 45. So, you know,

what's she been? She, I don't know. I was going to lie. I don't know. I'd see her in a while. Yeah, I'm looking at Mel Gibson's.

What was his last big one before you went all? Haywire. I know he recently came out and said, uh, lethal weapon, five still ago

uh least one up and five we're really too old for this shit but yeah because Danny Glover is is old old yeah so um I'll watch it but uh Danny if you're listening man I love you but come on man

you better uh we want to see uh mirtaw some kind of some kind of good shape to do some some kind of good shape to do some action how old is Danny Glover? He's got to be almost 70.

No, Mel Gibson, he's got to be in his 60s, I would say. Let me see, Danny Glover. Danny Glover is 74 years old. Well, they better hurry up. Oh, Matt. And Mel Gibson is 64 years old. Yeah. guys. Is Richard Donner

doing it again? I believe so. Okay, good. Well, I guess I'm sure they can get everyone back, Joe Pesci and Renee Russo. Damn, I gotta look up Joe Pesci. How old is he now? I don't know. He looked old and Irishman.

Yeah. Joe Pesci is damn, 77 years old. And that is not no current picture at him. He looked old in Irishmen as well, even when they tried to young him up. Yeah. I want to say, okay, I'm looking at Mel Gibson's stuff again.

We were soldiers and then signs. Signs was 2002. I can't remember exactly when he got all wacky. Was it before Edge of Darkness? It was either right before Edge of Darkness or after because... It was before the Beaver. Yeah, that's what I'm looking at. Because after Edge of Darkness, the beaver is.

And then we weren't seeing much of him. I know get the gringo. I didn't see that. It's okay. Machete kills. He was all right. Expendables three. He was a good bad guy, but I wanted a little more at that fight at the end.

He was funny in Daddy's home, too. And then... I've never seen dragged across concrete. I never even heard of it. It's from the guy that made bone tomahawk and brawl in cell block 99. Oh, okay. Well, all right. Oh, yeah, I was saying, what are we doing?

Fat Man is next, but Jiu-Jitsu. I say check it out. I mean, it was good. I really enjoyed it. I just would like a little more explanation on some. stuff but hey it is what it is it was a good

it was a good film I mean especially for what's going on in the world today I'm sure even if none of this was going on it would have been straight to VOD type of film anyway but I'm glad that we're getting new films

and it's good to see that a lot of these low indie films that not too many people know about are getting big pushes So, I didn't never even hear of this film, but then after you had mentioned it is when I started to see things about it. But I just kind of stayed away from everything. I wanted to be fresh.

But yeah, everyone, that's going to be it. This episode, we've gone long enough and it's getting late. But again, thank you guys all so much for listening to the action returns. it's awesome. Definitely check out our the latest horror returns when we did

paranormal activity three and four. It's a good episode. Yeah. Got a little heated at times. And then we did have some issues

with the audio. It is fixed now. All right. So that's good. Yeah, I read downloaded it and the ending was there because it only got

to like to the hour point and then just stopped. And I was like, shit, I still got a hell of it left. Yeah, everyone again, thank you so much for listening to the action returned. We got THR present stream fiends. That's coming

really soon. I just got to watch the movie. And then we'll be ready to go at that. But again, I do. It's so fun doing these shows now and everything. and I love when I did come on, horror turns of the now and then.

That's always fun. All right, everyone. That's going to be it for me. So until next time, please be safe out there. Wear your masks and social distance, even if you don't believe in any of it. It's all too real. Hit me pretty hard today. So, but keep my mom in good prayers and your thoughts.

she's going to need a lot of it because whew crazy world, crazy world everyone but just be safe out there and I'll see you guys next time. Until then, party on. Yep, our thoughts and prayers would definitely be with your family

and until the action returns stay safe.
