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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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
Mattson
and
Raphael
Atardi
Now Nez
I'm not going to ask
have you seen this before
I'm just going to ask
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
Stephen Seagold.
Fake fire.
Steven Seagold has no
fight scenes, really.
I don't think.
Yeah.
Awesome one at the end.
Yeah.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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,
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
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
either these are
the worst gang bangers
on the planet
that just can't shoot
I mean nobody
comes close
to shooting
the colonel
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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
oh no he sees
um
sikes
seagal or uh
is his name
sykes
he sees him
standing in the crowd
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
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
was what was
what was I'm Carrie?
She was
They're like
Okay
Romano
His gang
They're like
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
They think Porter
Is
The one
Yeah
So they're like
She's talking to him
She knows something
So they send their guys
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
on that Mac
on that Mac book.
Apple
didn't say,
hey,
man,
you guys need to hide
that shit.
They just,
no,
it was clear as day.
There was,
I guess they kind of
explain why Simon is
later on,
but all right.
So,
yeah.
So,
Gall after he killed
all those,
the drug dealers
and the drug addicts,
except for the two ladies,
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
carrying her son are safe
all the mob guys are dead
the crooked
cheating mayor is dead
and
crackheads or whatever
they were
everybody
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
and she came in
and looked like
she connected
on Shana
so
oh they're gonna go hard
on each other
because
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.
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,
I just happen to be, you know, because I post what matches are coming up on the different
