Starting point is 00:00:00 You never answered my question. I'll ask you again if you thought you could save the world. But nobody would know it and you might have to give your life in doing it. Would you do it? My life? Yeah, sure. Everyone else's... No.
Starting point is 00:00:23 Well, I'm done. Back everybody to another episode of the Action Returns. I'm your host Brian. And of course, always with me is my brother Nett. What's up, man? Yo, what is up, everybody? We're back. Quick, like I said on the last one,
Starting point is 00:01:09 thank you, everyone, for listening to Ninja 3. Shout out to Zim. I hope you enjoyed it. But, ooh, yeah, let everyone know what we got for them tonight. Okay, we have 2016's action. crime, Thriller, Code of Honor.
Starting point is 00:01:42 He's using this rooftop as a staging ground. You need a small army to take out these two gangs. I'm thinking several guys with machine guns, a couple of knifemen in the alley, bomber to take out the Mercedes. Tell me, how many guys?
Starting point is 00:02:07 Just one. His name is Colonel Robert Sykes. The commander of one special forces, mostly units. He's using those skills to go after gangs or drug dealers. Would you mind telling us why his wife and little boy were killed a drive-by shooting? This is just the beginning, isn't it? When this is all over, you might even wonder if he ever existed. Would you give your life to save the world?
Starting point is 00:02:41 I knew you did it an oath to defend against all enemies. I still love my country. I still love my family. And I'm still an honorable man. I'm just setting the record straight. It's to be coming. God, what does that make you? What took you, man?
Starting point is 00:03:20 I was waiting for you. Thought you said no weapons? No. I said no guns. The agent pursues his former mentor, a vengeful colonel who's waging a one-man war against criminals. All right. Let's head over to IMD.
Starting point is 00:03:54 When his family is murdered, a special operative turns vigilante. Can his former protege now in FBI agents stop him before mobsters and police close in? Okay. Now this is written and directed by Michael Winnick. This stars briefly Stephen Segal, Craig Schaefer, James Rousseau, Louis Mandelor first Helena
Starting point is 00:04:31 Mattson and Raphael Atardi Now Nez I'm not going to ask have you seen this before I'm just going to ask
Starting point is 00:04:44 why did you want to watch this I was the one that posted something on the Facebook group right? Yeah okay I don't know just poking around Facebook and I saw Seagal. I don't even remember. I think it's
Starting point is 00:05:02 just, I think it was the beginning scene when Seagal was just smoking fools from up top of this big I was reading something. They called it a missile silo. I don't think of a missile silo in the middle of a city, but anyway. It was the top of a building.
Starting point is 00:05:20 No, it was some kind of tanker. I don't know what it was everyone but um so i was like what the hell is this what what caught my eye not i mean don't get me wrong i mean i loved see if stevens agall in the beginning not so much with uh his newer films and from what i understand he's got some uh me too charges against him but yeah he he also has some beliefs we're not going to get in political stuff But yeah, that too.
Starting point is 00:05:56 But the video was crazy. I was like, wait, what is this? I didn't even know what it was. He's got so many movies. I couldn't even tell you. I don't even remember the last one I had seen. Yeah, I couldn't even tell you. I've watched all the hard to kills, the Al for Justice,
Starting point is 00:06:21 and Mark for Death and stuff like that. Oh, when he gave a shit. Yeah. And the minute he was in an executive decision. But I couldn't tell you which was the last out of his new straight to VOD, straight to Blu-ray movies. I didn't even know this movie existed. But that video just made me laugh because I was like, what the hell is this? So that was the reason Brian picked it.
Starting point is 00:06:50 And I'd have to say, I watched this twice. and I liked it the reason I like it because if you guys know me you've been listening to the show if you're new to the show welcome I like stupid cheesy
Starting point is 00:07:08 crappy movies if you go through my movie collection you'll see a lot of movies that people hate shout out to big Jesse the big guys are coming back
Starting point is 00:07:22 everyone talking about the we mentioned which board and we know how the order of turns guys hated that movie but that's the type of craziness I like and like I might have this made me want to go watch all the rest not all of them but pick and choose on some of the Seagal's titles after after all the good ones and I recommend like after you watch them go check out the YouTube channel at Jason Brandt. He does so bad it's good
Starting point is 00:07:58 movie reviews. And if you're, I'll just tell you like this. If you're a fan of Steven Seagal, you might not want to watch his YouTube videos where he reviews his movies because he tears him apart. I don't know who
Starting point is 00:08:14 I was watching, but there was, yeah, they were ripping. I watched a few reviews because there's some stuff at the end. that we're going to have to get into. And I was like, well, what did people think of this? Other than they just think Seagal's a joke now.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And he's just taking whatever. I don't know if he had tax evasion stuff. I don't know. I'm just saying. I know. Like, as far as movie-wise, the thing that that bothers me is he's, one, hardly in the movie. Two, when he's in the movie, he's, I've seen movie, his newer movies. There's movies where he's having fight scenes sitting.
Starting point is 00:08:54 down. And then apparently I keep hearing he has it in his contract and he's had it in his contract for a while where he can't be hit or beaten up because it'll make him look bad. Well, he's making himself look bad. So, I mean, I wouldn't want to fight him.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I mean, even if he's sitting down, he'll still whoop my ass. Because, I mean, from what I understand, I mean, he is the real deal. Maybe he's not as fast as he was. back in the late 80s when he first came on the scene, but I don't know, I still wouldn't want to fight him. I mean, it don't matter how old you get. You still know some of those moves.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And if he's just going to beat you up while he's sitting down, I don't know unless you kick the leg out from under his chair, but I don't know, but the reason I watched this one twice, I watched it on my phone the first time, and I was really into it. And then I was like, you know what, I need to watch this on the, the bigger screen. So I watched it again in the living room on my TV.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And I still got the same enjoyment that I watched it the first time. Will I buy this? Because will I watch it again? I'll definitely watch it again. Because I did enjoy this movie. I was watching it on TV.
Starting point is 00:10:17 So the thing that was cool on the phone, on the phone app, it was only one ad. When it was on TV, you got like six ads. I was like, come on. What's happening in here? They're only seconds long, but it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I mean, you go from one ad on your phone to six on your TV. But anyway. So, but like I said, I mean, there is some actors in it that I've seen. There's a lot of those, oh, that guy. And Craig Schaefer, I mean, he was big in the 80s, man. He was always the asshole. And then he kind of turned into. the good guy and then he just
Starting point is 00:10:57 for me he's kind of just disappeared but from what I understand looking at his IMDB he's been working he was most recently over on the main show we reviewed him in a nightbreed yeah so
Starting point is 00:11:13 I mean he's been he's been doing work so it's not like he just completely disappeared he does have some other things from what I understand he was I kind of tapped out of the show American Horror Story, I guess he was in that. That show is just a blur to me.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Yeah, I mean, the first couple of seasons were cool, and then I just kind of tapped out. But so, I was kind of like, all right, Craig Schaefer, man, he's cool. I liked him in his 80s stuff, and Segal, of course. James Rousseau, he popped up in, he's one of those, oh, that's that guy. He pops up in a bunch of little things. The thing that really stands out to me is, He was in Fast Times of the Ridge of my high at the end of the movie. He was a guy that came in and tried to rob the Quiki Mart.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I always remember him from Beverly Hills Cop. That too. And there was a couple other guys. There was one dude. I think he was the mayor. He, I know he was in that one. I mean, rest in peace, George A. Romero, but that last zombie movie he did. Survival of the Dead, he was one of the, the,
Starting point is 00:12:25 guys that had the family feud I think if I'm can get the thinking of the right guy because he didn't have a beard or anything in this but the mayor who was getting it in with the yeah with the secretary or whatever
Starting point is 00:12:41 and he was also and I remember him in colors um he was he was just one of the cops in it looking at his uh his name is a RD call and he's been in 48 hours, Brewster's millions,
Starting point is 00:12:59 colors, like he said, 4th of July, born on the 4th of July, Young Guns 2, been in a lot of stuff. Was he in survival of the dead? Why did his name, or his head, his image, his face popped up in that. I guess he wasn't.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I must be thinking about someone else. But yeah, but this guy, he's been in a ton of things, so, but, but yeah, I mean, I wasn't expecting much. I was not expecting. to like this movie at all because
Starting point is 00:13:29 the CGI is terrible I know Lance would have just turned it off. The fire made me think of Lance. That and the clip that I put on the Facebook group when he's just looking unloading
Starting point is 00:13:47 on all these guys. I didn't know who it was or what the situation was but you're talking about the digital bullet wounds? Yeah, everything. All of it. I mean, I don't know I mean I don't make movies So I couldn't tell you how much It costs
Starting point is 00:14:02 I'm I feel unless CGI has gone down In price Um Is that cheaper than actually using Blanks for your guns Probably just do it yourself Nowadays
Starting point is 00:14:15 Because it I mean some of it looked all right I mean the sound effects sounded fine But there was one When this guy got a headshot well there's a few head shots that looked terrible but one guy where
Starting point is 00:14:29 Seagal shot this dude from the back and it went through his head and came out of the front but then it was just a red circle talking about the drug deal scene? Yeah after Craig Schaefer
Starting point is 00:14:45 killed all those dudes at that club and then he came out and that he just Seagal shot that last guy I was like what who said all right that's cool print. My favorite was the the pimp scene.
Starting point is 00:15:00 The pimp jumped out. He was like, where's my money, bitch? Yeah, I mean, there was a lot of stuff in this that didn't even need to be in it.
Starting point is 00:15:09 They could have shortened this by a half hour. And just took out the nonsense and just added more killing if CGI is what was what we're doing here. But yeah, but in the end, like I said, I enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed it so much. I watched it the very next night again.
Starting point is 00:15:30 So I don't know how much this movie is, but I'll probably buy it if I see it cheap somewhere. But it's got to be under 10 bucks. I don't think I can go over that. Find it in one of those $5 bins. Yeah, I'm going to look around Walmart and all those places. All right. of honor how it doesn't
Starting point is 00:15:56 I combine on 13 14 hours for the DVD I don't even know if it's on Blu-ray I think it is because I remember watching another guy and he was holding one so but yeah that's that's too much
Starting point is 00:16:13 for that movie but in the end like I said I did enjoy I did enjoy this film and it was for as crazy as it was I don't love it I enjoyed it
Starting point is 00:16:29 it was it was a cool stupid movie but what did you think of this I can't share your enjoyment in the way you you enjoy I enjoyed it for the reasons they probably didn't want me to enjoy it there was some bad acting in here
Starting point is 00:16:51 I'm trying I'm trying to, you know me, I try to be positive as much as I could. Steven Seagall with his, I don't know what accent he was doing in this movie, but all his, like, you losing a step behind me, huh boy? Right, right, right here. Yeah. Where are you from? You're supposed to be a colonel, and I don't know what accent,
Starting point is 00:17:17 because I've seen, I've seen a few of his newer ones, and he tends to switch up his accent. And he was going for one in this movie. I did kind of like Craig Schaefer in this. And the end, I wasn't really expecting that little plot twist to come about. If it was a plot twist, if it was or not, I wasn't expecting it. Yeah, digital bullets. Fake blood.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Stephen Seagold. Fake fire. Steven Seagold has no fight scenes, really. I don't think. Yeah. Awesome one at the end. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Depending on if you believe the twist or not, it might not have happened. I will get to that when we get to it. Everyone, I'm not going to really break this movie down. I'm just going to talk about all the kill. scenes. We'll throw in the
Starting point is 00:18:22 plot in between, but yeah. I mean, shout out to the guys that wrote it. I can't write stories. I can't direct movies. I can't make movies, but was he a producer of this film?
Starting point is 00:18:39 Sagar? Yeah. I heard he's kind of like got money invested in these films. That's why he pumped so many out so quickly. I think if you, like him and Nick Cage and Van Dam and everyone that had their heydays and then they're just busting movies out left and right. Well, we all know Nick Cage.
Starting point is 00:19:05 He had the attack stuff as well as Wesley. Yeah, he was buying dinosaur heads and haunted mansions in New Orleans. But I think, I mean, these, I don't know how much these movies cost, but I think this one was like $8 million or something. like that but I think you know you're not gonna get box office money we know that I don't know how much money they get when you stream when you let these streaming sites have it because my friends that he watched it on Netflix whenever that was but I'm sure they got to get something or to be free Vee whoever pays Lionsgate hey we'll give you this much to show your movie and I'm sure like sure and I'm sure when it came out at the time in 2016
Starting point is 00:19:53 they did do the rentals and I'm sure people pay their money to rent it it's out on physical media and he does have his fans we're not saying that he doesn't no matter how bad his movies have gotten but I mean people will still buy even if these movies were like $3 and like
Starting point is 00:20:13 a hundred people bought those I mean he's still going to get something out of it so did he get did he take the biggest pay payday in this? Hell yeah. I'm sure he did but if I was to put my money into making this film,
Starting point is 00:20:31 most of my money would have went to Craig Schaefer because he pretty much carried this whole movie. Steven Seagall's... They just put his name. I'm looking at his name on the poster. I'm looking at him up. Him and Craig Schaefer were well, Craig Schaeffer was
Starting point is 00:20:47 associate producer, but Steven Seagall, executive producer. Well, they both put their money in it. I'm sure they got their money back, but, oh, yeah, code of honor. What does it say on here? There is no honor in revenge. I was reading something. The director wanted to make First Blood meets Death Wish.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I can see that. I had the Death Wish vibe in my head because if you guys listen to East Society on that I did cover the first two Death Wish. movies. I got four more death wish movies four more death wish movies uh to cover. Can't wait to hear your thoughts in part
Starting point is 00:21:37 three. I was just saying dude you need to join me for three and you need to join me for you fuck it. Come on all the next four. Okay. I've seen I've seen three probably watching like earlier this year and I forgot how
Starting point is 00:21:52 wacky it gets but it is fun. I saw crackdown once. I'd never seen the fifth one, and I seen the remake once, and I just... Ugh. Well, I will have to watch it.
Starting point is 00:22:09 But anyway, Code of Honor, action crime thriller. Ah, okay, I'm with that. But this, I mean, the story was Seagall's character, Colonel Robert Sykes. He's... We don't really know what's happening.
Starting point is 00:22:27 happening with him because in the very beginning of the film, we just see him. There's some kind of drug deal going down. And then all of a sudden we see these guys come up. They're selling Coke or whatever it is. All he knows is it's uncut and from the source. So this is what made me laugh. I don't remember all the gang names, but I do remember the white boys. I was the most generic name.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I didn't, I didn't even, at first, I didn't even think, I thought they were just saying they were white boys. Yeah. When they started going into like their gang affiliations, I was like, oh, they're called the white boys. Yeah, because I think the other guys were either Mexican or Filipino. I don't know. I mean, it did, but yeah, I did, I mean, I did notice of what the one main guy was,
Starting point is 00:23:24 white but I didn't wasn't really paying attention to to everyone else but we see these guys they got their drug dealer going down our drug deal going down uh all of a sudden there's a bullet shot that one of the main drug dealers not from the white boys from the other guys he gets shot in the chest everybody's looking around then we see seagal just boom boom with his high-powered rifle just taking fools out left and right. Again, he's standing up high on top of whatever that thing is. Yeah, shooting as many digital
Starting point is 00:24:00 bullets as he can. Yeah, and he's just, all right. Shout out to the actors that, hey, you got shot in the head. Boom. I've seen enough movies. I mean, even if they put me out there and act like you got shot, I would jerk or fall that fall. I mean, I don't know what kind of gun
Starting point is 00:24:20 this is. I've said this many times. I don't know the armor, hardware, hardware, whatever you want to call it, guns. I don't know. All I know is this is some kind of high-powered sniper rifle this he had. And he was just letting fools have it. To the actors that knew, okay, you got shot in the head, boom,
Starting point is 00:24:41 and maybe they go bang or whatever, maybe some kind of charge goes off, and they whip their head back. Some of the guys that were getting shot in the head would get shot. We see the blood. and everything CGI blood and they would just fall
Starting point is 00:24:55 a rifle with this firepower boom would definitely blow you back but okay so he's just gutting fools left and right everyone's hiding behind cars
Starting point is 00:25:08 either these are the worst gang bangers on the planet that just can't shoot I mean nobody comes close to shooting the colonel
Starting point is 00:25:22 he's just blasted. I mean this is like a mixed gang of crazy local Vato Mexican guys I don't know who that main white guy was. It looked like he was some kind of one of those little hats, one of the
Starting point is 00:25:39 Irish guys and then there was some bikers and then there was other rugged looking guys and then there was a Filipino dude I don't know what the hell's going on here. But then he switches up his guns.
Starting point is 00:25:57 He, after he's kind of done with the sniper rifle, he steps back, goes over to his little gun arsenal, loads up a clip, puts a couple of clips in his pocket, and then he walks back over there and then just, do, do, do, do, do you just starts shooting. And it's like every bullet he shot hit someone. He's the colonel. he kills 13 guys in the first five minutes of the film
Starting point is 00:26:24 if that if it's even five minutes and then one of the guys the one of the the main I guess the leader of the white boys or whatever he gets shot in the wrist because he tries to
Starting point is 00:26:37 take the the suitcase full of Coke he reaches down to get it he takes a blast to the wrist and then he kind of gets away another dude jumps in the car that's there that had all the um the money uh the the drug money and then cigar goes click
Starting point is 00:26:56 and blows that thing up and then we get the the title code of honor oh all right you forgot about when he propelled propelled down the rope in front of that green screen oh no not yet that's coming i was about to say after he blew up that car um he casually walks over and he harnesses himself up and then repels down that big thing that he's on I don't know what
Starting point is 00:27:27 into a skinnier guy when he lands yeah I don't know why he couldn't just I don't know why he couldn't just let some whoever that skinny guy was to film that whole scene of him just sliding down or it'll probably look cooler but maybe he's got
Starting point is 00:27:46 something in his contract I got to be at least 10 minutes on screen or whatever. I don't know. But it was, it was terrible. It's like he's just standing in front of a green screen as the, and he's holding the rope looking down like he's repelling down. I was like, oh my God, what is happening here? He gets down to the floor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Because he's a big guy. See, he was a guy's big. I don't know how old he is when he made this movie. but he's 71 now and his jet black hair um his hair look with the widow's peak yeah his hair looks fake
Starting point is 00:28:27 it reminds me of those spray on hair if you guys have seen that commercial that's probably what it is and uh he gets down there unhooks himself walks over he's like the last uh of the uh
Starting point is 00:28:45 drug dealers. He's not one of the white boys, but he pulls out his knives and just slices this guy up and then stabs him. And that was 15 kills. I'm watching the video that they'll kill count.
Starting point is 00:29:01 He kills 15 guys in that first scene. And I'm like, all right, cool. By himself. The next day, all the cops show up and they're like, oh man, this It just looks like it was a drug deal going sideways.
Starting point is 00:29:20 And they're like, well, they didn't get the drugs. The drugs are right here. And there's bodies laying all over the place. And then they're like, well, it looks like whoever did this, man, got away with a lot of money. But the car that blew up was the car they had all the money. Because one of the officers goes, I don't think they got very far. Because when they open up the car, the whole inside's all burned up. And the money is all burned up as well.
Starting point is 00:29:42 So they're like, well, they're like, well, I don't know. well who would have done this the drugs are here the money's here and this is we're introduced to uh craighafer's character he is william porter her FBI agent William porter he is up where seagall was where he was shooting everybody because he's kind of looking around investigating he finds um if you for those of you that smoke cigars I know they clip a tip off or whatever um he picks that up he's like oh you're starting to smoke now huh and then he just kind of does that but then what's his name
Starting point is 00:30:19 the officer uh detective Peterson yeah detective Peterson he was in I remember him from his um hell is that movie just watched oh uh
Starting point is 00:30:33 the uh Tula's brother um my big fact Greek wedding if you guys have seen that film he was her brother he was in last blood I don't have to watch that one again.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I think we need to tackle those at some point. So Detective Peterson kind of goes up to him, hey, who are you? What are you doing here? And he goes out his badge. I'm Special Agent Porter. FBI. And it's all right, well, how did you get here so fast? He goes, well, I'm following this guy.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Is it a case that I'm trying to solve? And I believe it's, uh, he tells him Colonel Scy. Well, he just says the guy named Sykes. A guy named Robert Sykes. He doesn't kind of tell him everything as well. Tells him nothing.
Starting point is 00:31:26 He doesn't even really tell him about himself. And I don't know procedures and stuff like that, but you'd think that if there's an agent coming to get involved in the case, you'd be notified and there'd probably be more than
Starting point is 00:31:42 just one guy. Yeah, you wouldn't just let some guy You just showed you a badge All right, cool, all right You're Yeah, there has to be some kind of Uh, heads up Knowing that the FBI
Starting point is 00:31:56 Right on to the crime scene and start telling you what's what's going on So I take it he got there Porter got there before all the cops did Yeah Because I mean, I don't know Someone would have saw him climbing those stairs or whatever it was, I don't know. Stealthy.
Starting point is 00:32:15 So that's the introduction to them to the cops and who Porter is. All right, next scene we go to a strip club at the
Starting point is 00:32:26 I think like the southern exposure or something like something like that. I didn't mind this scene. I didn't either because there was a lot
Starting point is 00:32:34 of topless women and no, there was only like a couple topless women in there. Yeah, that was one that was one that kept her top on.
Starting point is 00:32:41 But there was well, she's, the main girl but there was a lot of slow motion topless dancing for no good reason yeah top of slow motion dancing and slow motion shots of cigar smoking a cigar yeah he's kind of casually sitting in the cut uh in the back and all right there's um there's the kill count there's one, two, three, four. I think there's like five or six other guys in this film or in this scene, but it's not just a regular strip club.
Starting point is 00:33:29 It's kind of a front for drugs and arms dealers. Because when the camera kind of goes around, we see all these guys that are in there. Some are just patrons. Some are muscle for the. this place and then when we go upstairs we see some guy on a computer doing whatever and then we go into the next room there's another guy in there counting money and then he's got all these weapons displayed out on this table
Starting point is 00:33:57 so that we know I couldn't tell you what kind of rifles these are but they're doing some crazy shit okay there was six guys and then it says here there's another five guys in here making that a total of 12 guys in the strip club minus the strippers yeah because somehow they didn't get killed well they did say it in the second watch I caught it um so Gall's still sitting there doing what he's doing
Starting point is 00:34:30 and he gets up and walks oh no but before he walks out we are introduced to the Kerry Green Elena Mattson we find out that she is a single mother and her son's a name Corey I guess he was sick at school so it was her turn to dance because the guy that was running the play hey get up there get your pants off and get on stage
Starting point is 00:34:54 that sure is what he said get the pants on so she's like but then she gets a call from the school so her friends are in there she's like hey can you cover me I gotta go deal with my son and one of the girls like she's racking up a line.
Starting point is 00:35:13 And she's like, oh, yeah, sure, I got it. And well, when you leave, there's only going to be two of us, two of us here before the shift change. So she goes, all right, well, I'm sorry. I guess the back door had an alarm. So she kind of unhooks the alarm and goes out the back door and goes off to school or off school to see her son. All right. So Gall gets up. And when he gets up, the camera goes down and we see a brief.
Starting point is 00:35:41 briefcase under the table. And then he just casually walks out in a nice little slow motion. He's all in black. His jet black hair and his jet black goatee. He pulls out this little detonator. He clicks it and then boom. All 12 of those people are dead. Except the stripper.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Except for the two strippers. Because what the cops said, they go, it must have been right when, I don't know how he timed it. but there was no more there was no dancers in there just a little horny guys and all the bad guys that were in there so there was some casualties in there of guys that didn't deserve to die my opinion i don't know but the bad guys okay so they said the the bomb blew up and it was i guess how powerful enough to kill everybody in that main strip room as well as i assume the bartender as well as well as well except the strippers yeah they said the strippers were in the back so the blast didn't
Starting point is 00:36:45 go back there i clearly remember as he was walking out the one that was doing all the lines was giving someone a lap dance i don't know maybe she got up and needed to drink a water i don't know it was a short song or something yeah so he blows up that whole place and it didn't it didn't like level the building. It just kind of blew up that room. Then the cops show up and they're trying to investigate everything and then I don't know, whoever, a fireman that investigated said, yeah, it was a blast. It was powerful
Starting point is 00:37:24 enough to kill everyone in the room. And that's when they said, yeah, but the two ladies, the two dancers that were working were in the back, so they were safe. So when they're standing there, Schaefer just comes water, Schaefer, what's that, Porter? FBI, he just comes walking up because, uh, what's her name?
Starting point is 00:37:45 Carrie, is that her name? Yeah, she, she had came back and she was trying to see what's going on because she's telling the police. She was just here. Of course, they do great police work and tell her to get out of here. Yeah, because she was just telling, she just told us to a regular patrol officer. Uh, she does see her two friends, the two dancers there. Uh, maybe they took some kind of shrapnel because one of them was bleeding, but not
Starting point is 00:38:10 Not much. But the paramedics were taking care of them. We see the detectives and all the other police. They are trying to just figure out what happened. There is a police, the yellow police tape keeping everyone back. But there's this one guy that's standing right by the fire truck behind the police line, just taking pictures with a cell phone. He sees the carry.
Starting point is 00:38:36 He sees her, so he takes pictures of her. he sees Porter talking to her because he does walk over and tell hey I need to talk to you and who are you what happened so she tells him oh I was just here
Starting point is 00:38:51 I left I did we get my son and he goes all right well I think you guys you need to come talk to these guys that's when he walks her over to the cops see this this scene right here kind of makes me believe the end because
Starting point is 00:39:06 he only gets pictures of Porter I don't know well like I don't know we'll get to it because like you said Seagal's a big man yeah
Starting point is 00:39:19 and so he um he kind of goes hey this she was here and before the bomb went off so you guys should talk to her but then Porter sees someone
Starting point is 00:39:32 oh no he sees um sikes seagal or uh is his name sykes he sees him standing in the crowd
Starting point is 00:39:41 and then he goes running after him but he kind of loses him in the alley and he's like kind of shits but the main cop he kind of runs after him too like Detective Peters and he runs after him like hey what are you doing I saw the guy that I'm looking for
Starting point is 00:39:58 he was here and then he kind of this is when he kind of goes back to the police station and tells them all right well this is a guy I'm looking for His name is we were both in the service together. His name is Colonel Robert Sykes. He was Special Forces.
Starting point is 00:40:17 He had a, he was married and he had a kid. While he was off doing some kind of special mission, his wife and his son got killed within, there were casualties of a drive-by shooting. They weren't going after him. They were just there and they happened to get killed. He goes, so he came back. and he just kind of lost it and he just he's out on a on just vigilante uh mission so he goes
Starting point is 00:40:47 that's why I'm here to to try to stop him so they're like ah well okay you do your thing and we're we're still going to try to investigate this this explosion because he does tell me goes this this might this might be him as well but we don't know yet but the cops are like okay Well, you do your thing Or we'll stand over here and do what we got to do Yeah, they can't even get a picture of Sykes Because he says, I've got to call the Pentagon And see if they can authorize a picture being sent over
Starting point is 00:41:19 And they're just like, okay But the guy that was standing by the fire truck taking pictures We find out he is the Carlos Yeah, he is the second in command To Vincent Romano, James Russo's character He's the one, he's owns the strip club and he's the drug king kingpin of any town USA. I don't know where this was.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Exactly where you said. I couldn't make out. It looked like there was a city because it was buildings. I didn't look at maybe it was somewhere in Canada. I don't know. At times I thought they were on the East Coast, but then with some of the gang stuff, I'm like, okay, you guys are. on the west coast, but most likely,
Starting point is 00:42:09 it's like you said, they probably filmed this in Canada. Yeah, I don't know where they, now you make me look it up. For some reason, I was thinking like Arizona or New Mexico, because it did look like a desert area.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Who knows? Maybe it was Texas. Movie was shot in Utah. Yeah. Entirely in Utah. All right. I don't know where. maybe Salt Lake, but they spent a whole 20 days shooting this movie.
Starting point is 00:42:42 So, yeah, so we find out who Porter is. We find out who Sykes is, and these are the cops that just, okay, take his word for it. No kind of, let me call your superiors or anything to check you out. They just take his word for it because he showed him a badge. Yeah, he tells him Sykes is like, in every kind of weapon, hand-to-hand combat strategy. You won't get any information on him because you got to go through the Pentagon. You got to go through the higher-ups.
Starting point is 00:43:17 And they're just like, okay. Oh, yeah. So, all right. This is one of the scenes they, I guess they could have cut out. But I'm kind of glad they left him in. All right. So far, man, Seagall's killed 26 people. he's sitting up on a rooftop somewhere
Starting point is 00:43:36 we see two patrol officers two female patrol officers and they have two gang bangers in custody they're already in custody handcuffed and everything as one of them's one of the officers just trying to put the guy in the car boom boom we get some shots from I don't know what kind of rifle this is
Starting point is 00:43:56 but wherever he is you got the big scope it's got the earmuffs and everything on and he just blast the first guy in the wife beater. Boom, boom, boom. Pops him. The other guy that is up against the wall, boom, he takes a head shot, he goes down.
Starting point is 00:44:15 All the police are looking and they get on the radios. We got to code whatever, whatever, shots fired, and they're looking in all direction. And then we just sees the gall just kind of pack up his gear and roll out. So I was like, at first I was like, who are these guys
Starting point is 00:44:30 and why is he killing him? As the movie goes on, we figure that he's, they were calling him a, a super vigilante. So, and Porter did tell him, look, man, this guy, he's just killing bad guys. Don't matter who they are. There's no rhyme or reason. His reason for is because his, his family was killed by bad guys. So he's just, whoever's doing dirt, whatever, you're going to get killed. So Porter goes back to the, uh, the strip.
Starting point is 00:45:02 club to do some more investigation. But he's met by two little street tuffs in the back alley. And they try to come at him. And he just pulls out two knives. They're like they were huge, whatever they were. He pulls them out and just kills them, stabs them. No guns. And can I say,
Starting point is 00:45:32 This is the most, like, random group of gang members. Like, I can never tell which gang, the who's with who. I figured anyone white is with the Russo guys. I don't know, man. There was his whole gang, and then there was, no, Romano. I was thinking his real name, James is a, but Vinta Romano. Yeah, they said he was a mobster. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:03 But then you had the, of course, the white boys. And then you had the Hispanic gang. And then you have all these just random different gang members and hoodlums and thugs and henchmen. Whoever was going to take that money, hey man, I'll pay you whatever. Come help me. All right. It was these type of guys. Because these two guys that Schaefer ends up killing because he slices one in the neck.
Starting point is 00:46:31 And then he just kind of gets another knife and then. stabs the other dude in the gut and then pulls it up. So to make sure he's dead and then he just rolls out. So, and we do find out that these two guys were just two crackheads that Romano, um, hired to keep an eye on, on the, on the, on the burnt out club. So they were basically, basically nobody probably gave them a sack of rocks or something. an attempt for the fix all right
Starting point is 00:47:06 so there's more dialogue talking about our whatever we got to stop this guy and I'm moving on this scene was probably my favorite scene this is when the
Starting point is 00:47:15 the girl she's a hooker she gets thrown out of the car and then she's walking up her pimp hey bitch where's my money and she's like
Starting point is 00:47:26 wait what and then so he's got to talking shit to her but while he's standing to talking shit, bah! He gets shot in the shoulder. So he falls down.
Starting point is 00:47:39 And then we see Sagan. I don't know where he's at, but he's sitting in some warehouse or whatever, with another, a different high-powered rifle. And he's just busting off shots. He shoots that guy in both shoulders. And the hooker looks around. All right, I'm looking at a picture of it,
Starting point is 00:48:01 The two little, it just must be going fast. The two little CGI holes that's in this guy in his shoulders are nothing. They just look like dark spots. The hooker is standing there and the guy, he's all days. He doesn't know what's going on. We see the little target thing from the scope and that, blah, he gets shot in the head. So he goes down. He still has the money that the hooker gets.
Starting point is 00:48:31 gave her. So she kind of runs away for a second, but then she turns around and runs back and bitch, give her my money. And then she rolls it out. So I was like, what's happening? And it was just a random scene like that.
Starting point is 00:48:46 It just, well, we need to probably, all right, Saga, I need my screen time. So this is give me a minute. You said you were going to be in a movie 30 minutes, not 20.
Starting point is 00:48:59 so at this point he's killed 20 seagulls killed 29 people and Schaefer Russo or what the hell is his name Porter has only killed three um more just talk talk
Starting point is 00:49:14 okay we need to solve this mystery and no one doesn't nothing we see Porter he's in um oh he went to the the dancer girl
Starting point is 00:49:28 was what was what was I'm Carrie? She was They're like Okay Romano His gang They're like
Starting point is 00:49:36 All right We need to find her Because she's talking to The cops And she's talking to this guy We don't know Who he is yet Yeah they think
Starting point is 00:49:42 They think Porter Is The one Yeah So they're like She's talking to him She knows something So they send their guys
Starting point is 00:49:52 And a little White Irish guy This is like One of the main guys because when Porter kills those two guys I think it was that I mean it was one of those times the dude that was taking pictures what the hell's his name
Starting point is 00:50:08 Carlos he sees Porter so he's like all right this is the guy and then when all these people are getting killed that guy see he tells Romano look it it's this Porter guy that's killing everyone because no one's seen Zagal yet sikes
Starting point is 00:50:24 so Um, they, uh, Romano's saying, all right, well, you guys need to go over to that bitch's house and, um, and get her. Bring her here. So we, we can talk to her. So she's at her house and she's, uh, basically going to get the hell out of Dodge. She's kind of packing up some stuff for herself and her son. Um, but then these guys, uh, Romano's guys show up. They come in, they bust into the house and they're, they're getting ready to kill her. Where are you going? Oh, I'm just going out of town. And you go, well, not, not now. So you're going to stay.
Starting point is 00:50:56 here and they were getting ready to get the rape on but then someone knocks on the door and it's Porter and then he's kind of like oh hey I just came to check on you and she's acting all weird and Porter knows that there's somebody in there so he kicks in the door
Starting point is 00:51:12 the guy that's behind the door falls down he steps in another guy he just shoots one dude I think there was like three guys three or four guys in there three he blasts one he falls on the couch the guy that he comes in the door he kind of pushes him back shoots him in the gut he goes down and then uh he goes running out into the alley and these guys in a big old black truck just uh i guess
Starting point is 00:51:43 they were outside waiting uh they start shooting at him he just boom boom boom unloads on them this scene was funny though because you could clearly see i think it was the scene of the next scene when his gun again, he's shooting, it looks like a Glock that he was shooting. When you run out of bullets,
Starting point is 00:52:04 it kind of just cocked back and stays. I mean, we never see him change the clip, but all of a suddenly, there's another clip in there. He's just letting everyone have it. But, so while he's in that,
Starting point is 00:52:17 go ahead. I was going to say, I like how he murders all these people. And he tells her she's in danger. you need to get out of here I'm like gee thanks you just made it worse so he
Starting point is 00:52:32 he kind of just guns up these guys other guys come out of nowhere he starts shooting at him they could come running around the corner he's giving headshots and he's blasting everyone guys that are up top from coming off the catwalks
Starting point is 00:52:48 boom he starts shooting them then the big dude he looked like an old gangrel he he he's the older guy with a pony tail he comes out of nowhere but shaver pulls out a knife and boom boom boom starts uh slicing him up and then he just like stabs the hell out of him and then pulls his knife out and cuts it uh just it's he stabs him in the gut or something and just pulls it out of the side
Starting point is 00:53:16 and the cg blood is terrible all right this is the this is the one that uh made me laugh because it just looks terrible. The guy that was at the drug deal in the beginning, the one that Seagal let go, they got shot in the hand. He comes up from behind
Starting point is 00:53:35 and shoots, or he's getting ready to shoot Porter. But he's standing to holding the gun, then and then he's just standing there with a red dot on his face. And right behind him, as he
Starting point is 00:53:51 falls forward, is Stephen's Gall. I just sent you that picture. Look at how awesome that. This CGI, that's how bad it looked. It looks like he's just got a red marker on his face. And that's supposed to be the exit wound. It looked like somebody wrote on the picture, not him. Because he just falls. And then Segal kind of starts talking. shit. Like, hey, man, how come
Starting point is 00:54:27 you didn't check your six? And so he's like, oh, man, he looks at him and then Seagal's like, all right, well, hey, man. You saved my life, I'm going to save yours. Now we're even. And then he walks away. And Porter's like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:54:43 So right now. He does that line when they talking and he's like, you're losing the step, boy. Yeah. With his accent, I don't know what he was trying to be. So, okay. Sikes has got a body count, a kill count of 30 and Schaefer, um, Porter's got a kill count of 10.
Starting point is 00:55:02 So more talking in between of, uh, we really need to stop this guy. Every time they cut between these things, it's always the same thing. We got to find them. We got to find them. I'm like, okay, you said that the first police chiefs like, he's, he's, he's kind of doing our job for us. Yeah, because he's like, yeah, man, uh, it was the, the police chief and the mayor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:22 are like, yeah. And then so we get to a scene of some, I don't know what this guy, some crackhead playing with electric wires sitting on the curb next to a big puddle. They all look like they were doing drugs. Oh, they were because that one old lady was sitting there sucking on that glass dick. But there's one who's selling drugs at the same time, but he looks like he is. on some shit too he gets high he gets high on his own supply because the one girl walks up was like I'll suck your dig he was like well that didn't what he say he was like last time
Starting point is 00:56:03 you did that you were chewing the shit out of my dick with all it with your teeth oh man how I don't the dialogue in this film I was just like what is happening right now they're also yeah they're all standing there that One lady's sitting on the floor on the ground leaning against a wall smoking crack or whatever. And that one dude is just messing with the wires. Sitting next to a puddle. Yeah. So he's sitting there doing what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:56:37 And then all of a sudden, he gets shot. And he falls into the puddle while he's holding this electrical wire. And then he gets shot again. He gets shot in the dick. And I'm watching. of this. Why did they get shot and not everybody? Because they were bad.
Starting point is 00:56:57 They were bad drug dealers or drug and druggies. I don't know. Why did the lady get shot then? Maybe he just didn't want to kill ladies. He didn't want to kill old crackheads. So yeah, the dude, the drug dealer guy, he's standing there. Bow, bow, he takes three shots, one of the chest, one in the dick, and then one in the leg. I'm just going by what this is showing me right here.
Starting point is 00:57:26 So one of the ladies that came up that was trying to get drugs, she just kind of stepped back. There's another kid standing off to the side. It looks like he was shooting up because he's got a belt wrapped around his bicep. Yeah, leaning up against the fence. Yeah, he's sitting there looking all cracked out while the other lady's just still sitting there just smoking up. and yeah that kid he just he tried to
Starting point is 00:57:54 he looked like a zombie first of all he kind of turns to try to walk away that bah bah he takes some rounds to the back of the head and everyone else so the girl that was initially trying to get drugs she ran off and the other lady was still just sitting there like didn't even miss a beat she didn't even flinch
Starting point is 00:58:12 she's still sitting there smoking and we see Seagall across the street I don't know in some rooftop building or I don't know the same building every time yeah well I don't know
Starting point is 00:58:31 well we'll get to another scene we forgot to mention throughout all this there is a news reporter on the scene the guy that must have Seagal must have
Starting point is 00:58:41 let him borrow one of his pair of sunglasses or something what the hell was his name it was like fun time or Jerry Simon. Yeah. Emmy winning reporter
Starting point is 00:58:54 as he kept on that out there. Yeah, because this guy Simon, because his little news segment was like Simon says or something like that. He's going around showing up to all the crime scenes and one one guy's that Porter killed in the alley. He gets there before the police and everyone else because they start filming. No, there's cops and everything there, but they just doing shitty cop work, they get to the crime scene and
Starting point is 00:59:23 start taking pictures and filming filming video and then he's doing his news report and then the cops come running. Hey, you can't be here, get out of here. And that's it. But yeah, this guy they had, I mean, maybe they just didn't have
Starting point is 00:59:39 the budget to film this in their own little news studio because it just looked like those high school news studios. shows. Couldn't even hide the Apple
Starting point is 00:59:54 on that Mac on that Mac book. Apple didn't say, hey, man, you guys need to hide that shit.
Starting point is 01:00:03 They just, no, it was clear as day. There was, I guess they kind of explain why Simon is later on, but all right.
Starting point is 01:00:13 So, yeah. So, Gall after he killed all those, the drug dealers and the drug addicts, except for the two ladies,
Starting point is 01:00:19 He's, yeah, he's up on the roof somewhere. I don't know where, how far away he is from him. But more talk. Seix reaches out to Porter and says, hey, man, because Porter's like, I need to bring you down. Or he talks to the cops first and lets them know that, hey, look, the cops are still looking for Sykes. And then they go, you're not going to find him without me. me and they're like well how do you know that and he goes because i'm going to go meet him uh tonight oh god this scene coming up yeah some club and they're like what so porter kind of has a deal
Starting point is 01:01:02 with the cops all right man i'll help you guys get him um but i need to i need to be the one to get him because i have to go in there and meet with him and go so i'll just wear a wire and you you guys come in and whenever i say uh come in come in because he tells him he goes i don't care if this place blows up nobody comes in until i give the word so all the cops are like i don't know blocks away like all right um so he goes in and he's talking to segal and he's just trying to figure out like hey man what why are you doing this what's going on and and uh sykes segal's just kind of letting him have and go look man you used to be a good soldier man he goes but because uh port tells him, he goes, what happened to you, man?
Starting point is 01:01:50 He goes, is it because of your family? And he's like, yeah, man, he goes, I, he goes, I'm, serving my country and living a good life. And look what happened to me. And he goes, you, you're a piece of shit. Your wife left, left you on her own because you were a cheater and all this. It was getting high, drinking. You love everybody's boy.
Starting point is 01:02:14 so he basically told him Sykes told Porter look man you were a piece of shit to your wife so that's why she left you he goes mine he goes mine got killed mine were murdered so that's why I'm out here doing this and then Shavers are Porter's getting all mad so he's like you know what fuck this he just kind of gets on his little
Starting point is 01:02:37 his mic and goes all right man everyone get in here take him down but then Sykes is like come on man you gotta be better than that he goes didn't I teach you well and he pulls out no he's holding it I don't know why Porter didn't see it and he goes I'm blocking your your little
Starting point is 01:02:55 wire so he had some kind of scrambler thing I don't even know what it was it's always like fuck so the cops everyone outside didn't even hear him and then he goes I advise you not to get up because you're sitting in one of those seats if you get it's gonna blow up and he's like what
Starting point is 01:03:11 and then he kind of meant him remember when we did this and told him that there's a, if he get that he, there's a bomb under the chair that he's sitting in. If he gets up, it's going to go off and kill everybody as well as him. Because Porter pulls out his
Starting point is 01:03:27 gun and he's pointing it at him. He goes, look. He goes, I still kill you. And he goes, well, and then he pulls out his other hands, Sykes is like, well, if my finger comes off this detonator, boom, we're all dead. Porter's like, fuck. So he kind of just takes
Starting point is 01:03:43 off. Everybody's watching them. They see the bad guys. It's Romano's Club again. So he sees his guys see Porter. And then he, because he's clear his day, standing there holding a gun.
Starting point is 01:04:00 And then Sykes just kind of just makes out. But then all the bad guys come in and then this huge firefight starts. Wow, he's attached to the seat. Yeah. I'm sorry, not attached to the seat, but he's holding onto the seat.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Yeah. So he doesn't get ever, he's going to blow up. Carlos, he's in there. He just pulls out his machine gun and just unloads. And it doesn't matter who's in the way. There's tons of casualties of people in there just getting their party on. And Porter is just blasting any, all the bad guys he can while he's still sitting. in this chair.
Starting point is 01:04:45 He even falls over and he's sliding along on the floor. And he's just grateful that the explosive device is not pressure sensitive. Yeah. I'm sure his ass came off that seat at some point when he was falling over, rolling around on the ground. As soon as he fell over, boom, that thing should have blew up. because he falls over and he's twisting and turning clearly you can see that his butt is off that chair but that's not stopping him man he's gunning everyone up and then one of the guys comes running up
Starting point is 01:05:28 while he's still laying there on the floor attached to that chair he pulls out a knife and boom boom starts slicing one of the henchmen up but then after he gets rid of that guy he pulls or he still he gets his gun again and he's shooting we see Carlos the second in command uh porter just lights him up and he kind of falls on the ground and then and then porter shoots him in the head and then kills uh carlos uh romano he comes in with his gun getting ready to just start blazing but then this is when all the cops come charging in. So they arrest the leader of the gang, the leader of the mob or whoever,
Starting point is 01:06:12 the Romano guy. But when the cops walk up to Porter, they go, what are he doing on the ground? He goes, I can't get up or this is going to blow up. And then the camera kind of goes down to the chair. We see the bottom of it,
Starting point is 01:06:22 and there's nothing under there. So he just kind of fooled him, but he didn't know. I like, there's nothing under there. And he was like, the device can't be that tiny so he got played Romano goes to jail
Starting point is 01:06:41 and then there's more of talk we need to find out who it is we do see Carrie every now and then she's still trying to hide but they did tell look man all the guys that are after you are gone other all in Romano's he's in custody right now so that we got he's going to get ready to deal with his his trial I don't know how long
Starting point is 01:07:04 how many days or weeks this takes place but this like they arrest the leader of this mob and then immediately you're going to take him to trial but I don't know there's many parts of this they're like what the hell's
Starting point is 01:07:21 happening this is one movie's not big on proper procedures or anything so they just brought Romano out of out of jail or wherever and he's got a bulletproof vest on all the cops are surrounding them the detectives uh there's news reporters all wanting some kind of uh statement or comment from romano but he's uh trying to get into they're putting putting him into the to the squad car and then all of a
Starting point is 01:07:54 sudden he kind of looks up and then boom he gets shot in the head blood goes big on digital wound Yeah, they did use some practical effects here Because when he gets shot, which is clearly CGI There's a blood goes splattering all over everybody around And it gets all over the What was it, the detective's name? Peterson, yeah, he's got like chunks on him Yeah, he's got chunks of skull and brain
Starting point is 01:08:24 And blood all over his face And then we see The bullet wound And on Romano's head and it just looks so bad. All right. This part made me laugh the most. When he falls down,
Starting point is 01:08:42 then all of a sudden we get like a drone shot, a really fast, and it's going between buildings and buildings and buildings. I don't know how far he, how far away Sykes was, but it made it seem like he was blocks and blocks away. He's the colonel. and when we the camera zooms in he's sitting on the roof with some kind of high-powered sniper rifle
Starting point is 01:09:10 and I was like wait what what's happening so I don't know man again I don't know my guns but he shot from I'd say at least a mile away I don't know if guns can do that or not I I base my knowledge on movies because I remember in shooter. Marky Mark said he shot pretty far away. Anyway, so yeah, that part made me laugh. Out of all the nonsense this far, this part made me laugh the most when they just showed how far away he was. I was like, oh, my God. But again, I love the cheesy stupidness of movies when they do this.
Starting point is 01:09:57 so okay uh sikes his count 34 porter he's got 15 so he's not even at the halfway boy little or almost to the halfway point um again all right jerry and his uh his cameraman they keep popping in the news guys why did he i can't remember why did he kill them you remember i don't remember i think Was he reporting, like, false news or something?
Starting point is 01:10:32 Or fabricating the news or putting the extras on it for his own benefit? Okay, that sounds right. Because I was kind of puzzled on why he killed, especially the camera guy. I mean, was he just... You're here? He's just a casualty. You're just, you're here and I'm going to kill you. I was like, all right.
Starting point is 01:10:57 because yeah because he um sikes meets up with them and then when they're sitting there talking and because um the the jerry was trying to like all right man because i just want i just want the story and then he's like he's like nope he can give you shit so he pulls out one of his little daggers and throws it uh hits the cameraman in the neck and he falls down and then jerry's kind of like i thought you said no weapons i said no guns then he pulled pulls out another dagger, throws it at Jerry and kills him. Yeah, I'm almost positive because, because he, you know, he, Jimmy kept talking about,
Starting point is 01:11:38 or Jerry kept talking about he, he's an Emmy Award winner, and he's just, just all about the story. So I don't think he was trying to report the truth or justice or some shit. Yeah. Whatever he was doing, he earned him a spot. earned them a reason to die. So those two are dead. Excuse me, bringing up psych body count to 36.
Starting point is 01:12:08 The police and everybody show up. And they're just like, well, I know what you can do about it. But they do kind of figure out who the next target is going to be. Because the detective, he tells him, look, man, he goes, I know, or no, Porter tells him. He goes, look, man, I know who the next. killer is or no wait wait wait let me go back a little um after the whole uh shootout in the in the club one of the people that got killed in there was the um the daughter of was it the senator or
Starting point is 01:12:43 yeah we'll go with that is either the senator or the governor i can't remember no no no the guy that was the mayor was running for governor i think it was the senator or something yeah it was a lady yeah her daughter was in there and she got killed and there were kind of like, well, why was the senator's daughter in there? A known mob club or whatever. And they go, no, that's the place to be. And she was just there partying and she
Starting point is 01:13:08 was a casualty of war. So. And somehow it was Detective Peterson's fault. Yeah. So well, probably his fault because he hasn't caught the super vigilante is what, I think Jerry was the one that came up with that. Maybe that's why he got killed.
Starting point is 01:13:24 He's like, you got everybody calling me the super vigilante. And you deserve to die just with that. So, so, um, so, so, so the, the mayor was kind of getting in cahoots with, with the senator going to look, man, well, we'll bring this guy down. We'll take him down and everything. And, uh, don't you worry about it because he was, I guess, wanted her help for him to become governor of Utah.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Is this, is this when the, uh, the real agents show up? yeah because the the cop the agent the FBI agents show up and they're kind of like well hey um yeah we're here now so uh we're going to take over this case and you guys are working with Porter yeah they're like who detective Peters did they yeah you guys are working with Porter or your other man what other man the agent Porter who I like I like the part where he was like he was like he should showed me a badge like yours. They were like, hey, like ours. That's the,
Starting point is 01:14:35 the detective work in Utah. So, um, that Porter does tell them like, look, man, we know who your next target is going to be. Because,
Starting point is 01:14:46 uh, the mayor and the senator went on, on news saying that, yeah, we're going to bring this down and everything. Um, but Porter kind of put two and two together. and was like, all right, man, his next target is going to be the mayor.
Starting point is 01:15:02 So you guys need to find out where he is and protect him. But the mayor was like, I guess they called the city hall or wherever the mayor is at. And he wasn't there. They said, now he left already. And they're like, oh, well. And then, well, his secretary just checked in at whatever hotel. And she paid for it. So we saw this was the the captain talking about it.
Starting point is 01:15:30 Why was he so angry? Maybe because the mayor blocked him. I don't know. The secretary paid for a hotel room with her credit card. I was like, calm down, man. That's like the most detective work they did this whole movie. That's quick too. So we see the mayor, he's getting it in with the secretary.
Starting point is 01:15:55 and then somebody comes in from the shadows and bah shoots the mayor in the head shoots her ego oh yeah he shoots the mayor in the head then it shoots that girl but we don't see who it is but then when the camera goes out into the hallway because when the first shots we see just someone kind of we see the gun in a silhouette
Starting point is 01:16:18 we don't really know who it is but when the camera goes out into the hallway um we see someone else and we still we still don't know who it is kind of sort of. I was thinking it was Porter because it didn't look like big Sykes. But according to this kill count, it was Sykes who took both of them out. Because now his kill count is up to 38 and then he goes rowing down the street. So we get to the climax of the film because
Starting point is 01:16:56 the detective, he is finally kind of Detective Peterson. He's kind of finally putting some detective work together. And he's thinking, well, shit, man, this guy Porter, he isn't an FBI agent. They do get some intel on
Starting point is 01:17:15 Sykes, because we see a picture. His, not his rap sheet, his military record, and it's a young seagal. when he had a neck. And they got, they,
Starting point is 01:17:29 they don't have a picture, I don't think, but they do have information on a William Porter. They got an information on a major William Porter that served with him. Yeah, so they're saying, well, yeah,
Starting point is 01:17:43 because they didn't, they didn't have a picture. And then they kind of read their, what this happened. They both, their wives and kids disappeared. And then Sykes was starting to think about it, or not Sykes.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Peterson, Detective Peterson is starting to put two and two together like well shit. I can't remember who he was talking to his partner. It was a young black woman. He was 10, I was like, you know what? Fucking Porter is Sykes. And then we kind of see
Starting point is 01:18:09 some scenes where like in the beginning when we see with Segal that was up blasting all those people from up top shooting all those drug dealers. We see Sykes up there shooting. And then we see Sykes killing other people.
Starting point is 01:18:25 He's like, shit, man. He goes, there is no Sykes. It's Porter. See, the scenes of him shooting people, this is all in Detective Peters's head. The thing that I kind of go with is when they were doing the club meetup with with Sykes, they said whoever after who was investigating the case that said it didn't sound like it was. a scrambler. It seemed like more like Porter turned off his mic.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Plus they were looking at video footage that was in the club and there was we didn't see any of Sykes. All we saw was Porter. And also in that club scene there was it looked like when he was pointing a gun like the people dancing was like looking at him like he was crazy. Yeah. Like he's pointing a gun at somebody. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:27 We'll get into it in a minute, everyone. So, yeah, the Detective Peterson was putting two and two together saying that there is no Sykes. It's just Porter. We go to the rooftop of some old building, I guess. And Sykes and Porter are up there kind of talking it out because Porter is like, look, man, I got to bring you down. and he's kind of like oh you ain't you ain't doing nothing because he kind of he said he said syke says seagal says this line he goes if you thought you could save the world but nobody would know it and you might have to give your life doing it would you do it and i was like when he
Starting point is 01:20:12 said that line i was kind of like hmm is is is porter just nuts and this is all on his head but when we get to the end, I don't think so. Because this was a crazy scene because I didn't get it. They're up on the roof and they kind of get into some hand-to-hand action
Starting point is 01:20:33 because the porter has his gun out. And Sykes kind of walks up on to him and they're boom, boom, knocks the gun out of his hand. And then he says that line and they're talking and everything. And then next thing you know, they pull out their knives and they're having a little knife fight, which
Starting point is 01:20:51 I don't know what the flipping the knives around that does, but okay. Flashy. Looks cool. They didn't even like, they cut each other, but they didn't like stab each other or anything. But since the FBI is involved, oh my God, this looked really bad.
Starting point is 01:21:08 They couldn't actually put two guys in a helicopter. We see the helicopter flying over, which is real, but when they show the inside of the two FBI agents is like, just took a picture of the inside of a helicopter and they added those two guys. Oh, you, it gets better from here.
Starting point is 01:21:32 It looks so bad. And they see before the helicopter actually gets close to the top of the building, Sykes sees them and then just run and crashes through the skylight. of the building and it hits the ground hell of hard and so porter is still up on the roof and those the the fbi i got fucking take that bastard out so they start shooting at him so he kind of runs away and i was like what the fuck is happening here porter goes down into the downstairs and he's talking to sykes again they get into a little more battle but uh when uh when sykes fell through the the um the window, he kind of pulls a little C4 explosive thing and sets it on the wall or whatever.
Starting point is 01:22:29 And then when the FBI guys, I don't know how they're seeing into this building, but all right. One of the FBI agents, he's got some kind of rifle and he's taking aim. But Sykes pulls out his little detonator and then boom, blows up the building. C.G. I fire to make Lance proud. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't blow the whole building up. It just blows up whatever floor he was on. And the cops and everybody were there, so they were already to come in. And no, that was it.
Starting point is 01:23:10 So in the movie, just like, they ran out of time. All right, man, we're going to give you this big explosion and the end. Yeah, they bring a body down. there like it's Porter and for some reason Carrie's there with with her son she brought her to the to the crime scene
Starting point is 01:23:29 and she's talking to Detective Peterson he's like oh you don't believe me do and then she's just like basically she don't believe him and then she goes back to her son and he's got the we kind of skipped over the
Starting point is 01:23:44 scene where they he met Porter met the son and we were talking about the baseball glove that his son used to have and all of a sudden Carrie's son has the baseball glove and she said he he gave it to me and asked you if I could have it yeah because she's like because you did where would you get that oh your friend your friend gave it to me and and she's like what so she's kind of looking around and we don't we don't see him but after the building blows up the the fire department or whoever pulls
Starting point is 01:24:18 pulls his body out that's all burned up. We don't see it. We just see a hand out that's hanging out from under the sheet. Yeah. You know,
Starting point is 01:24:28 police work in this movie. It's him. Yeah. So, Peterson just assumes that there was only one guy and it was Porter and he's nuts.
Starting point is 01:24:39 So we got him and that's it. But I don't think there was, I don't think it was just Porter. I think there was two people because that kid said he goes, yeah, he just left.
Starting point is 01:24:50 Your friend just left. So Segal, Sykes, he's dead. He just blew himself up because he didn't want to get caught. I figured he knew that was it. I killed his final cow was 39 people. And Porter's was 15. So he's like, you know, I killed a bunch of people. So I'm good.
Starting point is 01:25:10 I can go be with my family now and blow himself up. Because yeah, that kid said, yeah, he was just here. he left. So I don't know. It's crazy. These cops just ain't looking. But he came up and I don't know. Did he have that glove in his in his pockets or something this whole time? And all this happened at night.
Starting point is 01:25:36 But with that scene when they pulled the body out was the next day and the sun was out. So I say Porter was hiding in the cut. Maybe he went back to his hotel room, grabbed that glove and came back to the scene. I don't know how he knew that Carrie and her son were going to be there. Again, more bad police work because the police had already been to his hotel before then. So did they not secure all the evidence? No, I just left everything there. Okay.
Starting point is 01:26:06 And that's your movie, everyone. So evil is punished. The super vigilante is dead. the fake FBI agent disappeared and there's no explanation or anything and yeah everybody is
Starting point is 01:26:25 carrying her son are safe all the mob guys are dead the crooked cheating mayor is dead and crackheads or whatever they were everybody
Starting point is 01:26:40 everybody is safe in Utah I assume until the next go around. But yeah, everyone, that was a code. That's code of honor. And again, I enjoyed this film. And it was just goofy
Starting point is 01:26:58 and CGI mess. Minimal Segal. Tons of Craig Schaefer. So, I mean, again, I think he was the star of this film. And Seagal was just there. It was definitely
Starting point is 01:27:14 starring Craig Schaefer. co-star and Stephen. Yeah, he probably only showed up for like maybe a week, filmed all his scenes and then, all right, you guys, I'm out of here, you got to film the rest. He filmed his scenes in a day. Most of it was in that warehouse with a sniper rifle. But yeah, I had to do some investigating
Starting point is 01:27:36 to like, okay, was it really just Porter and he was killing everybody and making up the whole Sykes thing? But now, I mean, all these guys, this is just message boards that are people who were trying to figure it out. But there was one guy, he came up with the same conclusion because everyone was, no, man, it was him. He was, uh, it was just Porter the whole time. And they're like, no, because it goes back to that little kid.
Starting point is 01:28:04 The little kid said, he gave me the glove and he just left. So that kid knew who Porter was. So it wasn't, uh, him under the sheet. So I'm just going to go. There was two guys. Sykes just did what he had to do and just took himself out because he didn't want to go to jail
Starting point is 01:28:21 or let the police kill him so I'm just going to stick with that explanation you guys have a difference if you've seen this film and you think differently I mean let us know what you think but I think there was two guys there and evil is punished in Utah and Porter was still a bad guy
Starting point is 01:28:41 and he's I don't know he's just going to be hiding out Code of honor too. They think shit, I'd watch it. And somehow Sykes is still alive. Maybe he comes to in the ambulance and whamm-bam and then gets out. He's like dark man. He's running around with his face wrapped up.
Starting point is 01:29:08 Someone send us, send us that check. And he can have my idea. But yeah, code of honor, everyone. If you got, everyone's got freebie, everyone's got 2B. Have that it if you listen to this whole review and we're selling it to you. But I, again, I loved it. I mean, I didn't love it. I liked it.
Starting point is 01:29:28 I thought it was entertaining so much that I watched it two nights in a row. And again, I'm going to buy this and I will watch it more. Who knows? Maybe I'll come up find some other things in it. Then I'll come back and let you guys know. but I did enjoy this film. So, I mean, Craig Schaefer is what made me like this film the most. Seagal was just minimal and he was there.
Starting point is 01:29:56 He's the only one on the poster, only his name. I didn't even know Craig Schaefer was in this. It's like anybody do. But all right, everyone, code of honor. What do we got next? All right, we are going to start. with the original to get ready for the new one coming here
Starting point is 01:30:18 coming out here in a couple months and that is the expendables 2010 is the expendables where's that streaming I don't know I'm after and I just going through my movies so I got the Blu-ray I have all of them so
Starting point is 01:30:36 I mean it's not like I can't watch them I'm not sure if they're streaming but we're going to go through the expendables franchise we're not going to go through all of them back to back because like we said before we learned our lesson with uh was a mission impossible yeah the new mission impossible is now out now everyone so my buddy already seen it he said it was hell of good so all right i'll probably see it hopefully sometime this weekend get ready for that new one uh did you hear eco ua's from the raid is the villain in part four and oh and uh expendable yeah i was i thought you meant mission impossible isn't uh tony john it too yeah and megan fox yeah thumbs and all should be should be kicking ass and still have perfect makeup on like um what was that movie yeah even for that being goofy i like that one too i won't buy it but I like
Starting point is 01:31:43 we were watching the we got to think of what was the last movie we seen I can't remember the last movie we seen but we got the trailer for it my wife was like why is Andy Garcia in the expendables because he's old and he used to be big in the 80s I don't know Expans is it just expandibles 4 or
Starting point is 01:32:05 they did that stupid thing with put the four in the expendables Oh all right I see it 50 why is he in this because he's friends with somebody was he in the last one i don't even remember no it was uh ronda yeah where's she at oh she's uh fighting my girl quick a little wrestling returns did you watch raw yeah i just watched the see i just watched the wind um uh shana bayser was beating the hell out of um ronda no before before ronick came in was it your girl
Starting point is 01:32:44 no our girl never gets oh no what you're talking about the fuck who the fuck was she I don't know Ron Shana was beating somebody up
Starting point is 01:32:52 I can't remember and then Rhonda came out oh she no she tapped out whoever she was wrestling and then Ronda's music hit
Starting point is 01:33:01 and she came in and looked like she connected on Shana so oh they're gonna go hard on each other because
Starting point is 01:33:10 they build up Summer Slam's gonna be cool, I think. Yeah, I heard this is Rhonda's farewell. Yeah, I was reading some things. This is it. Maybe that's why she's gonna. She always said she wanted to have a storyline with Shana. So I think this is probably be it after SummerSlam.
Starting point is 01:33:34 That would be it for. I don't want Ronda to win and go, all right, I'm out. I want her to get beat up and then go out. I want Sheena to still be on top. I think she's going to put her friend over. Like mommy. Mommy's always, I need to get that shirt now. Oh, when you send me that dirty Dom shirt,
