Welcome back, everybody, to a brand new episode of the Action Returns.
I'm your host Brian.
With me, as always, is my brother, Nez.
What's up, man?
Yo, what is up, everybody?
We're finally back.
Hey, man, we gave you wrestling.
We gave you, speaking of wrestling,
we got backlacks this weekend.
Um, is it true?
Kairi is coming back.
I was reading some something today that she might come back for this one time before she goes back to Japan.
But to finish the storyline that they started?
I guess.
I don't know.
Yeah, it sounds like they might are true to this situation because of the fan backlash.
I was more mad about her.
if anything, because I love
Kyrie's saying, but
we'll see, we'll see what happens.
Yeah, a lot of, some of them releases
didn't make no sense.
Yeah.
And then
you hear the news about why the new day
got released.
Because Paige?
They wanted to leave.
They wanted to,
I guess they had re-signed
a new deal like months ago.
Mm-hmm.
And then all of a sudden, TKO was like,
we want to
structure deal and you know that's code for pay you less money and they just said uh just let us out
our contract so we don't need this shit we're out yeah well yeah man just get out of there you don't
need to be where you're not wanted i mean after the big e got hurt that's when i kind of realize
the New Days
is going
I think they would have been gone a long time ago
if
New Day didn't hit so hard
Yeah
because people thought
Kofi was going to be a life for
WWV
Yeah
I don't know
Well wrestling's a crazy
entertainment sports
business
Yeah they said
the release cuts aren't done
jeez
you know i think they
release over like 20 people so far
fuck
i don't know
we'll see but
i don't even know the card yet
we'll we'll figure it out and we'll run through it everyone
i just know not tonight
i just know jacob and roman
i heard nothing else on the card
don't give us punk and cody so
soon.
Let's wait a while.
No, I heard rumors.
I heard rumors that's going to be
WrestleMania next year.
They're going to do it a...
Oh, man.
All right.
So, T.K.O.
I don't know if Ponska may get another year, man.
He's all old and beat up.
He keeps smacking people
in the hotel lobby.
I guess there's another incident now.
Is that the 911 call?
I heard that.
Yeah.
It's that one.
And then the other one where the guy was following,
I guess Bailey was hugging AJ and then some guy was following him filming.
I saw that video.
Yeah, Bailey was like, can you stop?
And then Punk just came and slapped his phone at his hand.
Punk needs to just watch his temper.
I mean, I get it, but don't get physical with these fools.
Everybody's quick to sue someone.
especially if you got money
so
I don't know
uh
do we get any feedback on
the show we did regular show
I didn't
uh
no but I see those downloads
though
they do good I didn't even check
yeah it's like one of the best episodes
in a few months
it was basically
all the other shows we do
but just a different title
I listened back to it, man.
It was cool.
That was fun.
Just the two of us doing what we do,
talking about the movies.
But one of my buddies did go.
I listened to the show, and I didn't believe you guys,
and he said he wouldn't watch The Mummy.
And he was like, dude, that was good.
I said, I told you.
And it turned out that I guess this is in the evil dead universe.
The Mummy?
So yeah you see that new trailer today? I know. I didn't watch it. I saw it was on YouTube when I opened it up and I was like ah
I said I'll watch it later. Yes, a nice nice little red band trailer too. It's like gonna be an action
movie because that's what it seemed like in that teaser. No, I mean the stories basically
They don't accidentally read from the book. They purposely read from the book
man you guys are just begging for it i don't know man you can't tell nobody nothing these days
but when you watch the trailer you'll see why they read from the book
got to learn the hard way is it uh a book from evil dead rise or is this a different book
they didn't show the book oh okay at least i don't remember if they did or not
because i liked the way that book looked in evil dead right with with the teeth yeah that
looked badass all right we are here
to talk about
John Claude Van Damme's
double impact
Jean-Claude Van Dam
He always makes an impact

Let's see. IMDV.
Two brothers are separated

Double Impact, 1991, is a

Alona Shah
Carolina
Everson
Philip Chan
Alan Scarphy
Bolo Young
You ever meet him
Never I've never seen him
I guess he's doing the
conventions
But he does like the
The martial arts
Specific ones
I go to the nerd ones
I go to the nerd ones
You don't show to those
this is directed by
Sheldon
Letch
Leach
Leach
one of those
Yeah
Nez
When was the first time
You've seen
Double Impact
1991
I was in
I saw in the theater
cousin of mine
came to town
And we were just hanging out
The house
And he was like
Let's go to the movie
I said
All right
What do you want to see
He goes
Let's go see
Double Impact
and I was like,
huh, really?
I was kind of starting to get out of
Van Dam's movies.
All his 80s stuff was good,
but it was just starting to get cheesy.
My cousin's like,
no, no, come on, I want to see this,
I want to see this.
So I was, all right, so we go and see it.
Turns out he had already seen it
because he was like,
oh, I like this part watch.
I said, have you seen this?
He went, ah, yeah.
I was like, man,
so, but,
In the end, I mean, it was, it was what it was.
It was funny.
It was cool.
I mean, Van Dam kick an ass playing two roles, double the van damage.
Did you, did you buy the two separate rolls?
No.
I think, if anything, he's probably more like Alex.
Alex.
Then, what's the other name?
Chad.
Chad.
What is his pink?
shorts,
the short shorts.
I think he's more like that than
than the cool
badass.
But I thought,
it was good.
I mean,
I don't know how good it did in the box office,
but it was,
I mean,
Van Dan was one of the,
he came late in the 80s.
Mid-80s is probably
when he started, but I think towards the end
of the 80s, he started to get
big 30 million in the box office off of 15 million dollar budget well they doubled it
i was starting to lose it here and then then he really started to lose me
with his movies because they did they just start the VHS ones yeah they were they were
starting to just like yeah okay it was just i was just not like not carrying anymore
I think the last one that I saw in the theater was
Time Cop
No, no, no, no, no, street fighter
That one, that was the last movie I saw.
Did you see Double Team?
No, I still haven't seen that to that day.
You might as write that down.
Yeah, that has definitely gone on the list.
Is that the one with Rodman?
Yeah.
Like, can you reference in basketball
in the movie, even though
Rodman's character is nothing to do
with basketball.
The first movie
I'd seen him in was
1986, there's no retreat, no
surrender. Write that one down.
I've been wanting to do that one forever.
We didn't do that one?
No, I don't think we did.
If we did, I don't remember.
Because we did bloodsport,
didn't we?
Yeah, that was the early days of the show.
Okay, I think we...
skipped over and I retreat no surrender right to bloodport.
We did time cop in a very, very long episode.
We're just trying to figure out the time travel.
I think we got close to figuring it out.
Have we done Universal Soldier?
That's next after this.
I mean, not show-wise, but that was his next role.
I think we only did Bloodsport and TimeCop.
I think this is the third Van Dam film we've done
Well at some point
No J, no surrender
Definitely universal soldier
Uh
hardcore hard target
When he punches that snake
With his mullet
He was trying to be
Rest in peace
He was trying to be Chuck Norris
With that mullet
And punching a snake
I'm looking at
I said, what's the last thing
that I had seen of his,
like new.
I have all the Universal Soldiers movies,
the ones he's in.
Let me see what the last thing I've seen.
I'm looking at these.
I don't think I've seen.
Kickboxer vengeance.
I've seen that.
He was in minions?
Yeah.
think the last thing I watched
to his
was
Universal Soldier.
Last thing I've seen of his was
Kickboxer vengeance.
Where he's the
teacher in that one?
I don't think I see that one.
With Batista's
Tongpo?
No.
What's Alien Uprice?
Is this one of those movies they put him on the
box and he's only in it for a second?
Probably.
Before kickbox of vengeance, the next thing I seen him in was Expendables 2, where he was the villain.
They wasted him in that.
I was more hype that he was the bad guy.
And it just went nowhere.
What was that TV show he had?
Oh, uh, J-CvD?
No, John Claude Van Johnson.
That was pretty funny.
Yeah, I watched the first couple episodes, and then it just got canceled.
John Claude Van Jones.
J.C.V.D. was good. I like that one.
You know they're rebooting Bloodsport?
They are?
Yeah.
I think the last one that I...
Somebody brought it to work, and we just watched it.
And I was like, oh, Van Dam, I'm sure he'd be kicking ass.
Was Replicant.
Have you seen that?
Oh, his other dual-roll movie?
Yeah.
I've seen it once, but I don't remember it.
Did he have kind of like longish hair?
Yeah.
It was actually okay, from what I remember.
That had Michael Rooker in it.
I have to find this one somewhere.
Well, it's on...
Tobe
2B Pluto
Fawcum
All that
So
All the free channels
Somebody brought it to work
And I watched it
And I ended up liking it
So
We'll have to see
But yeah
Double Impact
When
I just saw it
The one time
In the theater
And then
Multiple times
On cable
And VHS
And rewatching it again
I had not seen
This movie in a while
It was
It's what it is
Straight to the point
Nothing
really too serious on story-wise
other than he was just trying to get revenge
for his parents dying
the
triads
Chad was Alex really didn't seem to care
huh because I was
I was okay with what was going on
what happened
I was watching and then it just froze up
on me because
Oh, what's going on?
What do you think of Jeffrey Lewis is the ex-bodyguard turned father figure?
Jeffrey Lewis is good, but he's like the same character in every role he's in.
So he's never really changes.
He's the same role, same character, just different, different movie.
so but i mean i like him every time i see him in something so it's good when i see his name or if he just
happens to pop on a screen and something that i've never seen i know he does his job but as far as
him being uh their secret service man or whatever his parents
they made him more like james bond with his tucks all the hair he had in the beginning
and then later, 25 years later, he's bald.
Because, I mean, it gets right to the point.
I mean, it was back in Hong Kong.
1966.
The boys' brothers, they were, the brother's dad, they were, what was his name?
Paul, I think.
Paul Wagner.
Paul Wagner.
Nigel Griffith.
They were opening up the,
some,
what was it called,
Victoria Harbor Tunnel.
Yeah.
They went into business doing that.
They had a big celebration.
And,
uh,
Chad and Alex were there,
but they were babies.
So everyone was like,
yeah,
they were all hooting and hollering and all
and having a good time.
And,
uh,
what was Jeffrey Lewis's character's name?
Frank.
Frank.
He,
he,
he was there for the,
the family.
and then they're like, all right, well, let's go home.
And we're going to call it a night.
So the parents and the two little boys were on their way,
and Jeffrey was, was he a bodyguard?
Jeffrey, Frank, was he a bodyguard?
Was that what he was?
Yeah, he was like the Wagner's personal bodyguard.
All right.
So they were going.
They're like, you know what, Frank, man,
he worked so hard, take the day off.
We're just going to go home and rest and go to sleep.
leave and put the boys to bed.
So you're re-watching it now.
I wish they would have gave a little bit more backstory to the
Wagner's.
Yeah.
As to why they needed a personal bodyguard.
Yeah.
And the whole tunnel thing was a little...
Well, there's more to the story in that, but...
How do you make money off that?
I don't know.
Maybe it's different over there in China.
So they go home, no, on their way home, they get attacked by, they called them the triads.
Is that what they were?
A triad.
Yeah, they show up and basically kill the parents.
Frank, he ended up turning around because he saw what was going on.
He went back.
And there was a big shootout and uh, Bolo Young he was, what was his name?
Moon.
Moon.
Yeah.
Frank came in blasting.
Didn't even get out the car.
No, he just pulled it out.
What, whack, whack.
He pulls up.
Excellent shot, too, because he wasn't even all the way there yet.
He's like killing people from like 100 yards away.
That's why he's the bodyguard.
Figured they would have more than one.
if they're so uh frank's just that good i guess they could at least had two a man you could go and i'm
gonna leave my uh my detail behind to take care of you guys but uh both of the parents ended up getting
killed he frank grabbed uh Alex uh frank he took one to the back he got blasted and he also
shot um mooned through the through the window in the card push i don't know if they
The bullet hit him or if the glass just got him.
But it scarred up his face pretty bad as well as his eye.
So Frank grabbed Alex and was that one of the maids?
The nanny, I think.
She grabbed Chad and they just get out of here.
So they both kind of ran different directions.
Frank got away with Alex.
The nanny, she made it to like an orphan.
or a church or something and just left.
Yeah.
Chad on the stairs.
One run by French nuns, which explains his accent.
Where's he from, for real?
Belgium.
What was that one?
I think it was Bloodsport.
When he does a flashback and he's young as a kid.
and the kid
I wish Steve was here
Steve was an excellent impression
in that
he did that
the kid did the accent
it was like no good
you're not going to call the kios
oh man
shout out to that kid though man
he did his job
so anyway so yeah they took
um
killed the parents the boys got separated
Frank ran with Alex
the nanny took
Chad to
what does I say here
a Hong Kong orphanage
and Frank took
Chad to France
I assume he must have to go to a
hospital first to get
that gunshot fixed
Right don't need no hospital
Then the blood
was like bright red too
So he took one to the back
So that's how
that. I assume the nanny
just went and did what she did
and was still alive. I don't think anyone
killed her.
So, 25 years later,
this is when
we see
Chad, or not Chad,
Frank and Alex.
Oh, we get introduced
to Chad first.
In Los Angeles, he's running a
gym
slash martial arts studio.
and he's doing the splits for the ladies
rocking back and forth
in his tights,
his spandex.
Chad is a good guy?
I thought Alex was the good guy.
I think Chad and Frankus.
Yeah,
Chad's the good one.
Okay.
Alex is the slick back hair one.
That's how you can tell.
He's the bad boy with slick hair.
Oh, man.
you got to love early 90s.
That's what that meant in the movies.
If you had slick back hair,
you was a bad guy or a badass.
Yeah.
The coat, too.
They're, yeah, so they're in L.A. doing their thing.
They run like a high-end exercise dojo or something because
Chad is in there with the
with the women
and you know these are all those rich
Beverly Hills housewives that just
want to come and
be around
some
some built
young instructor
and I'm sure he's probably
just running through them all
because this lady here
man she
she shaves it pretty close
oh the one he's
stretching out.
Yeah.
And then he gets up
and he's talking about stretching.
Of course, he had to
throw in his kicks
and his legendary
splits that he does
in every movie.
The only time that I love
these splits was in
Time Cop
when those guys
broke into his house
into his apartment
and then he jumped up.
Splits on the counter.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Well, what's, what's from a call that's up there too?
Bloodsport.
Is that when he was tied up to the trees?
No, well, yeah, that part,
but I was talking about when he did the Johnny Cage.
Oh, yeah.
And just put some punch the guy in the nuts.
I like the way he had him tied up to the tree
and he was like stretching him.
He did it in a kickboxer, too.
Is that the one?
They did it in both.
I said,
fuck it,
you can do it.
Let's just put it in both movies.
So why Chad is downstairs
flirting around with the women,
some pretty boy,
rich guy with a ponytail
and his pink geese
thinks he's a badass
and tries,
I guess he was roughing up
some of the guys down there,
but then he tried to kick Chad.
You want to see one of my kicks?
It was like Australian or something.
It was a good kick.
But then he ended up kicking him and knocking him down.
But Frank's in the other room talking to some Chinese guy,
and he's showing him pictures and his pictures of Alex.
I think it was a private investigator.
Is that what he was?
Yeah.
He's showing him pictures and Alex is doing his thing in Hong Kong or wherever they are.
So this is when he tells him that who he is.
You got a brother
I'm not really your uncle
And all that so the day's the way look we're gonna we just took you to France to raise you
And we got to go out to Hong Kong to deal with some business
I like the whoever wrote the movie
Had to put in a reason why they both have accents
I
I don't know I mean
No that was no retreat no surrender he had that
bad
Russian
Axis. He only had like a little couple
lines in that one.
So.
Oh, he's only in the movie
in the beginning and the end.
Yeah, I wonder where that guy is,
the star of
of that movie.
He should be doing the concert.
He did a movie
called
The Last Kumete,
I think,
where it had like
a whole bunch of
people that was like in those movies in the 80s and 90s
the last Kumate?
Yeah.
We're going to have to do that now.
It's got the guy that played Tong Po in it.
Cynthia Rothrock.
I think
damn, I can't remember his name.
Tybo.
Billy Blanks.
it's on
prime
so okay
guess what's that
is he like the main star
or is he just in it
he's uh
I've only seen it once
I think he's just in it
hmm
I don't even know
I don't even remember what he looks like
I think he's also in one of the
the sequels
to no retreat no surrender
They did a sequel?
They did like two or three sequels.
Same story or different?
No, they're like, one has to do with like Vietnam or something.
Oh.
So you get a Vietnam.
We need to tackle those missing in action movies.
Do you ever get that box set from Scream Factory, shop factory?
No, I only have the first two.
How many did they do?
Four? Three, I think.
Okay.
Well, I think I just need the third one.
Anyway, Frank and Chad go to Hong Kong
because Frank has some business, but he knew what he was doing.
He wanted to get the boys back together.
So they show up there and they go to some little seedy bar.
Mahjom parlor is what they called it.
So they go in there and people are looking at Chad,
one guy came up and gave him money
and he was like
what is this for? Because everyone thinks
he's Alex
so they're paying their debts
and then another guy comes in here you go boss
and give them his
here's your favorite drink
and he's like all right
I mean Franks he's laughing
because he knows he knows what's happening
he did say
Chaz's just like
I like this place
they know how to treat people
and this is a girl
comes with some hot blonde girl
comes walking in and starts flirting around with him telling him,
can you come back here?
Frank's like,
go ahead, do your thing.
Yeah, go see what she wants.
Yeah.
So they goes back room and then she starts going at it with him.
I'm all right, real quick.
I mean, even if you do have an identical twin,
she should know that's not him.
He's not, he's not,
He wouldn't dress like he.
Well, he says it here.
Yeah.
He's all prepped out and everything.
Pink shorts.
A polo shirt.
Different haircut.
Yeah, his hair ain't slick back.
She's reaching into his pants and he goes, go down lower.
Big surprise, huge surprise.
Black silk underwear.
And then somebody tags him on the back.
He turns around and Chad is standing.
there or uh, Alex
is standing there and he's
got his leather jacket, cigar, slick back
hair and you, whosh, head butts.
Chad had the stupidest look
on his face. He was the, huh?
Well, he didn't know he
had a brother, much less than an identical
twin. So he, like,
head butts him, and then he passes
out, and then he wakes up,
sees the Frank standing there, Chad,
Alex is standing there,
and Danielle, that's her
name. And he's going,
I'm like, look at it.
It goes, how would you know?
I don't dress like that.
And whenever you ever see me wearing black silk underwear?
Yeah, calls him the F word and not fuck either.
She's like, well, I don't know.
He looks just like you.
I mean, come on.
If that's your boyfriend, someone you love, your whatever, you would know.
So, Frank is basically telling him, look, man, you guys, that she's your twin brothers.
just look at you guys and
Chad is kind of like
or Alex is just like
yeah, all right, whatever.
So Alex was just
some street hustler
just doing his thing.
That's what he was doing?
Yeah, he kind of worked with the triad.
He didn't work for them,
but he worked with them,
smuggling stuff.
Because, yeah, because he had his own boat.
But I always got to have some girl
to mess up everything.
That was,
Alex's weakness
was her.
Daniel, Danielle.
Yeah.
Every time she got involved, he got all weak.
But
what I loved about this
early
early 90s, especially even in the 80s,
same actor doing dual roles.
If you guys ever
notice, I know some people don't.
When both actors,
or both characters
are on the screen.
There's always something, either like a line
or something, a door jam,
something to where they can cut it
and splice it together.
Not like
was that, Back to the Future, too?
The matting the way they did,
it looked terrible, but hey, it was good in the a
I've seen some bad ones where the
background didn't line out.
Yeah.
So Frank starts breaking him down on what's what's going on.
What happened to their parents?
What's going on with this tunnel?
And he is there to get their inheritance for it all.
Like you said, how do you make money from a tunnel?
I don't know.
So was there other stuff going on that they were dealing with?
Other than when the triads find out and they trying to kill them?
was there
don't think so
all right says here frank
tells them they are identical brothers and they need to join
uh him to take down
griffith that's the partner
the the
with their
with their parents to get their part
of the royalties from the tunnel
what royalties
i don't know but chad and
Alex initially do not
get along with each other Alex takes
them down all right
so okay that's what happened
other than you just find out you have an identical twin brother and yeah how how are you getting
royalties from a bridge I mean they wanted to kill all of them I get it that guy wanted
the the bad guy wanted to kill his partner and his wife and his kids so they don't come
but they could have lived the rest of their lives and not known anything about
what their parents did.
I mean, it seems like they both were doing what they wanted to do.
Chad was messing around with the housewives of Beverly Hills and
Alex in Hong Kong with his hot blonde getting his hustle on.
I don't think anyone knew.
I mean, if he was dealing with the triads,
I mean,
they didn't know who he was.
It was just some foreigner helping us out.
he had a boat so I'm sure he was smuggling
this and that
so I don't know I mean
you could tear those movie apart
but that they're
other than them meeting
one another Frank brought them together
okay that that's cool but
like I said they could have lived their lives
the rest of their lives
and not got into all this
all this mess
but then there would be no movie
so
because Alex
He was doing his thing, man
He had his boat
He had all his connections
He was ready
Had his machine guns ready
Locked and loaded
Do you really have to smuggle
Mercedes
Unless they're hot Mercedes
That they stole
And they're
Just trying to get rid of them
I mean
Because he was in a trunk
A trunk full of cigarettes
They can't get Mercedes cars
And cigarettes in China
Maybe not this model.
I don't know.
I just assume he stole these cars
and in these movies
every time these films,
if they're in Southeast Asia somewhere,
seems like everybody smokes.
So, I don't know.
Maybe these are special cigarettes
that you can only get in the back of a Mercedes.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just figured these things were stolen,
and he's just trying to get rid of him.
He's stolen from, I don't know, cargo boat or something,
and he's trying to get rid of him for a cheap deal.
I don't know.
That's the only way I can think of what he's doing with these things,
because he's a hustler, so he's making his money.
Because it always makes me, when I see this,
always makes me think of this scene from the Sopranos,
because they're smuggling Mercedes into Italy.
And I'm like, you guys can't get these cars in Italy?
I'm pretty sure you can get these cars anywhere.
Again, maybe not this model.
So, yeah, these guys, they're ready.
They give them the suitcase full of money.
And then everything they think is good, but then here come the cops.
The cops show up and they're like,
fuck, we got to do something.
and what do you do?
You just dump the Mercedes in the water.
He already got his money, so he might as well be good.
But the guys he was hustling, they pulled a gun on him.
Basically, no cash, no Mercedes, no cash.
But then they get into a firefight.
Frank pulls out his weapons and starts shooting at the other dudes.
They're shooting back at him.
And of course, Alex.
got to spring into action and kick a fool kick a couple guys off the boat
into the water so the cops are coming still the guys assume this is the coast guard or whatever
but they're just trying to get the hell out of her chad doesn't know what's going on he doesn't
know what his brother does and well i guess he can't figure it out now but he's he's just
standing around not doing anything so those guys all jump off the ship well he kicked the two
off. He was about to kick the other one,
but gave him an opportunity. Look, I'm going to kick you off
or jump off. And that guy jumps off.
So they're kind of like, all right, man, let's get the
fuck out of here. So they fire up the boats
and they start taking off.
But
why did they
dump them? Well, obviously they're stolen.
To make the boat go faster.
It's too much weight.
Everything is like that.
The thing I didn't understand is
Chad gets one of the guns and shoots at the cars
and makes them explode in the water to stop the police from chasing
and why couldn't the police just go around?
Well, they need action.
Action and explosions, I don't know.
Because they show the water and there's like so much space to go around.
Yeah, because Chad jumps down and knocks the,
the Mercedes
off the boat
because Alex is still
hauling ass
and his little henchmen
that are with him
or whatever they can't do nothing
Frank jumps in
he starts help with him as well
but then Alex is kind of like
fuck man just do it
so they
I guess they fired up the Mercedes
and then they threw them in reverse
and then threw them off
Chad didn't know
or Alex didn't know
because when he looks out the back window
he's got that look like
what the fuck you do?
guys doing? And Frank
is the one to start shooting at the Mercedes
as they're floating and then they blow up.
I assume he hit the gas
tank.
It looked like he was just fired into the
windows and they blow
up and yeah, why can't the
cop just go boob?
Grab around the flames, but
yeah, they just gave up.
I don't know. I think those things would sink
and
not burn up like that. But
I don't know.
Guess when you loaded up with the explosives or exploding cigarettes and whatever else was in there.
It was the cigarettes.
That was keeping them float.
Well, they had cigarettes and there were some other things in there.
I don't know what they were.
Yeah, coniac.
They were all in there.
So they were ready to rock.
So after they get out of there and do all that,
they um shit then what then what happened after that well we cut to the scene where they're at the market
getting lunch and we see a frog get chopped up a live frog and this is where we find out that
Alex's girlfriend Danielle is working for Griffith oh that's right so she was in cahoots
with that guy yeah because frank's is break
basically breaking down what happened and what they did.
And she's kind of in denial about the whole tunnel thing.
Because in her point of view is basically like, if this is true, where's the, where's the paperwork?
Where's the documents, evidence?
Frank's basically like, I don't need evidence.
I was there.
Because they go in and Chad is hanging out outside.
And then the triads are coming up to him.
And they're looking at him.
they're speaking Chinese and he's telling them wrong guy wrong guy because they're like laughing at him
they're looking at his clothes they're touching his hair and then they grab him and I don't know
why he just start fighting I guess because Bolo or Moon shows up so because they grab a chad and I mean
they don't like strong arm or anything they just kind of push him and make him get into the car
and uh
Griffith is that his name
the bad guy no
Raymond Zang
yeah he's the
triad leader
he's the one
he's in connection with
Griffith yeah that's someone
Alex is dealing with
because he starts telling him about some
some business that they're doing but
Chad is just sitting there like I don't
fuck you guys are talking about but he just
sits there
listens to him. So
where did
Alex go? Did he
go inside?
Bang his girl, I guess.
Okay, let me see.
I think he's hanging out with Frank somewhere.
He says, back in Hong Kong,
some thugs kidnapped and beat up, Chad,
mistaken him for Alex.
They didn't beat him up. They just took him. Anyway.
Well,
they try to beat him up. He takes out
couple of them but then moon gets involved yeah because moon's there he's the one that got him into
the car and he's all scarred up because chad tries to do one of those spin kicks and moon like
hits him in the nuts because yeah that zeng guy is telling him the whole deal in alex's or
chad is just like okay well whatever bro because um it says uh they beat him
up when he refuses when he refuses to work with their leader, Ram and Zang.
And then it says Danielle, who works for Griffith,
begins checking his private files for information,
but she is being watched closely by Griffith's bodyguard, Kara.
She was like one of the queen of the 80s bodybuilding.
She was in all those
bodybuilding
magazines
she was like
she was everywhere
yeah
Cory Everson
yeah then she
when she popped up in
this I was like oh hey
so I thought that was cool
because I mean my buddy
shout out to D
rest in peace I love you brother
I miss you
he um
he was a little weightlifter
and I would look at out of these
magazines and she was always in
beautiful yeah looking up here she was miss olympia which is the highest level yeah
contest you can win she was six years in a row miss olympia and she started doing small little
movies and tv tv shows but when she popped up in this and she was part of the bad guys
i was like oh cool but uh she was trying to get all touchy with
Well, it says
I guess she
I don't know if she raped her, but she
touched her and did something.
Well, she slid her hand of her skirt.
Yeah.
So I'm sure her
hands went somewhere.
And then she told her
now you can frisk me.
Daniel didn't like that.
Nope.
But before all that, when
Zang was telling
Chad,
his business and then he wasn't going to work for him.
I told him to go fuck himself.
And that's when they were like, oh, yeah,
because Moon's sprung into action.
And Zhang was like, all right, man,
you guys just do what you got to do, whoop his ass.
So he sprung into action.
And they roughed him up.
Because other than there was like, I don't know,
10 other guys around him.
but Moon just stepped in.
Yeah, Moon killed one of his own guys.
That guy, Chad kicked and knocked him back,
and Moon caught him and then snapped his neck.
Yep.
He should have did the end of the dragon,
picked him up like a baby and break his back.
For the little he was in that movie,
he was badass,
but he really only had, well, one,
one big fight scene with him and
John Saxon
John Saxon.
Rest in peace.
There'd have been no way he would have killed him
but hey, there's a movie.
So yeah, so they ended up
whooping him up because he wouldn't work for him.
Yeah, he killed that one guy.
But he should have ran or something,
but then they probably would have shot him.
He does his famous spin case.
but moon ducked down and blah hits him in the balls and then I love that move that
move that he always does and they did it in slow motion the open palm to the ribs
he got him and then they roughed them up and threw him in one of those big metal
containers he was just grabbing him and was slamming him against the side of the wall
and they just left him there he was all beat up and then
did they find him
oh no no wait wait
they dumped them on the side of the
they dumped him where they picked him up at
and then his brother and all they found him
but then he started telling them
what was happening
and what was going on
what they were doing
and he described moon
this basically chad was
I could have took them all except for that big
Chinese motherfucker
and then he said to one
the guy one with the scar on his cheek
and then Frank looked out like, oh, I know that guy.
Yeah, so Danielle, she's in the office because she works for Griffith.
Chad just got beat up by Moon and the gang.
And Chad was out doing his dirty work.
So they knew that they were coming after them.
They still don't know that there's two of them.
They just think it's one guy.
Yeah, they just.
thing, Alex all of a sudden has new clothes and a haircut.
So why were they hide?
Why did they go hide in this way out on the other side of that island?
So we can get the montage of them cleaning their guns.
I mean, I guess that was their base.
Well, I assume they were just hiding because
them thinking Chad was
Alex and they wanted him to work for him
and they said no basically if you don't
we're going to kill you
and I think that's why they went and hid
way out there
but they left Danielle back
assuming the office
or whatever
so well she's still no 100%
in on what they're doing
that's why she's
doing some snooping
yeah so they went to some old
uh
seaside
old abandoned
hotel
that was going to be their
little hiding area
I assume
Alex knew that was there
that's why they
they went all the way out there
I had no idea why
Chad brought
his whole Louis
Votan
luggage set
and all his stuff
out there.
Is Johnny Cage
based off
Jean-Claude Van Down?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Because didn't
Johnny Cage
do this in the
original Mortal Kombat
where he brought
all his luggage?
I think so.
Oh, he did.
He brought
everything to the island
and they said,
nope,
get out of here.
get out of here with all that
because yeah
that whole
gear up we can get ready
and they got all their
Frank brought
his whole arsenal
or I assume it's
Alex's as well
machine guns pistols
I can never go wrong
with a little Mac 10
those are like
King of the 80s and
early 90s
it was like a must
in every movie to have a little Mac 10
Here's where I have an issue
Chad's grown up, privileged,
straight,
clean-cut life.
How does he know how to use all these automatic weapons
and grenades?
Maybe, well, the,
Frank was a
hit man, was a bodyguard.
I'm sure he taught him,
other than he taught him how to fight and it.
Well, I don't know, Frank taught him how to fight,
But you know Frank taught him at a fight.
Not like that.
Frank had a little pink guy on too.
I know,
but we didn't see him kicking ass.
We don't need to.
Yeah,
well, everyone had ghee.
They had pink and he had a choice.
He was either pink or yellow.
I was like, man, that's just total L.A. Hollywood.
What the hell's doing all this?
So they are waiting and they're still trying to figure out what's going to happen.
Chad calls Danielle and he's talking to her telling her kind of like exactly what's going on.
And she's looking through all the stuff to find out what was to Griffith, what his deal was with everything.
And back on the island,
guys they're they're gearing up for world war three waiting for all them for the these triads
they were showing up after them yeah because they they um uh Alex goes to
was this on the island or did he go to another part of the island because he was he was loaded
up and there was some guys doing some dirt I don't know what the hell they were doing they were
unloading stuff. I think this was
what's his name's
people doing a
I guess this is where they make their
drugs and stuff.
Okay.
So
I assume
Chad knows how to
use his firearms but I love how
when we see both of them
together
Alex is right up in the front
and Chad's right behind him, but he's
looking the other way he didn't turn his head and face forward and see him so
Chad goes up or Alex he goes up takes out the first dude some guy that was just sitting there and
he I don't know they snap his neck because he like hit him in the back of head with a palm
and twisted his neck and then he he falls down that's how he breaks next I don't want to learn
how to do that but every time I see those moves especially from him
how he just
real fast
jams you with the palm
I have a feeling
if I try that
I'll break my wrist or something
so
I think my fighting days
are behind me
boys and girls
I don't think I'd do good
I'd probably
just be gassed out
swinging and not even
hitting anything
so
Alex is running around
he's setting up
plastic explosives
looks like I got
some little C4 bricks
don't try to hide them
just stick them right out in the open where everyone
can see
he just sticks
it like right
on the wall
white wall and it's like a small little brick
that everyone could see
so he tells Frank hey man
just cool out chill right here
I'll be back
and while all that
while they're lurking around
we do see
the other Asian guys out there doing
some bad shit
they were loading up something
yeah it does look i guess was drugs
because you could see
all their little uh their lab equipment
and what they're doing where was frank at
did he stay behind
frank is uh
like frank's in the getaway truck
because he was there when they were all loading up
so Alex
Frank don't need to be there
well he taught him out of fight
he should be teaching him.
And did they say who taught Alex?
Or did he just learn in the mean streets of Hong Kong?
That's what I was about to say he learned in the streets.
Streets taught him.
Or the nuns at the orphanage.
Maybe it was mandatory.
You got to learn how to fight when we release you into the streets.
I'm watching this scene.
Alex is doing the classic rolling the ground and shoot with two.
guns at the same time.
That's the best.
I love when you do that.
Y'all geared up, run, they start shooting at him,
slow motion, just shooting two guns at the same time.
And these guys with fully automatic, I don't know,
Uzi's or whatever, and they're just shooting and hitting it.
Here's Frank.
He's posted up somewhere with the sniper rifle.
I'd rather have him out there.
But I don't know what these must be bricks of hash or something that they're making.
Well, they had like chemistry stuff.
Like they were making some kind of futuristic drugs because I've seen a little, what do you call them, beakers or whatever?
Yeah.
With like blue liquid and red liquid.
So I don't know what they're making.
making the Heisenberg stuff.
But yeah, he does the role and starts blasting everyone.
I like this one guy that pulls up on Chad with his big-ass-ass-old-school laser siding on top of his gun.
Back in the day, boys and girls, I mean, they're different today.
I mean, I think it's a small little thing you can attach to your...
pistol, but back in the beginning, when those first came out, Terminator, that was the first
time I saw it in the first movie.
On the giant hand cannon.
Yeah.
The, what did he say when he went into the gun store?
The 45 long slide with laser sighting.
Yeah, he got technical with it.
That thing was, it wasn't as big as the deputies and, um, was it, Jason lives.
you bang yeah that thing was huge that looked like a flashlight
there's no way that fits in a holster
you can't man
that thing was huge well terminators
I assume he fit in a holster he had it in his jacket
and he pulled it out and when he was killing everyone
but yeah this one that's this one that's on this gun
was huge too
but yeah Frank was like because that guy put with the laser
side and pulled out he was about to shoot Chad
but then Frank blasted him from wherever he's at.
I love how they keep showing Alex when he's kicking ass, everything's in slow motion,
even when he jumps up from his back to his feet.
Even in my young slim days, I couldn't do that.
I tried.
I tried that.
I remember me and Mike were trying at one time when we were kids and could never do it.
So there's a big huge shootout.
everyone with a gun is shooting
Alex, Chad
Frank's up and wherever he's at
Blassin but he's setting off
The charges
Because he's got the
A little remote control and
DZH and all the
The C-Force starts blowing up that they
set off everywhere
So I assume this is
What was name?
Zang? Was that his name?
Yeah
These were his
his little drug
drug houses, right?
Yeah, I didn't understand
what was the point of this.
I guess it's shown that they were no punk
and you can't fuck with us.
So we're gonna blow.
They don't know there's
two of them
or Frank is even there.
Well, isn't this the time when they do
find out there's two of them?
No, I mean, later at the club.
Oh, yeah, it's at the club.
but Alex shows up and it's all good
because he shows up with a bottle of champagne
or a box of champagne and they're like
oh you can go take it back yourself
and I'm like
wouldn't they assume that he was the one
I guess
I don't know
it's different times than the early 90s
oh yeah
after they blow everything up and,
uh,
different editing back then.
They,
because they showed Chad and Alex,
uh,
mobbing down the road.
And it,
it looks terrible.
What they're doing.
So Alex,
or,
yeah,
Alex hooks up with Danielle.
And she's,
uh,
letting them know what's going on.
And I assume he didn't tell her what they did.
They blew up.
up uh zang's little drug drug spot no they keep daniel on a need to know basis yeah all you need to know
is you need to stand around and look hot with your long blonde hair yeah just keep uh snooping around
the files so they go to some chinese restaurant uh zang is there moon what's uh cori's name
car
yeah she's
there
this one guy that keeps showing up this
henchman with the long hair the white dude
yeah he doesn't do anything in the movie
he's just standing there looking good with big hoop earrings and long hair
i've seen him in other action movies
he's he's a martial artist himself
but in this movie he just kind of
stands there in his leather coat
we just got to look good
but uh
was this Chad or
Alex
because it doesn't look like
well it looks like Alex
but he's not acting all rough and tough
I think the first guy
with the
box of champagne
I think that was Chad
okay that's what I assume
because he didn't
didn't have a cigar in his mouth
and he wasn't all rough and tough
but he just had his
his hair slothed
leg back. So
they go there
I assume
to, were they going to go in there and kill
everyone?
I think so, because
wasn't
this, this is the scene with the
box of champagne's really got C4 in it.
Yeah, because Frank is in there
sitting around partying with the
lovely ladies in this bar.
Yeah, the chick tells
them, you're sexy like Sean
and he looks at her like what the fuck
and there's some kind of meeting going on to the back
and I guess somebody wasn't on board with the new plans
so what's her name Corey
Kara? Kara I think Kara or Kara
she takes him out stabs him in the chest
well that one guy comes up doom gives him a kick first
oh the guy with the spurs yeah
damn her legs
that's just all muscle
even her arms
she's wearing like the tightest
little dress
you can wear
but it's just all muscles
yeah she rolls up
and stabs that fool
the butterfly knife
or a switchblade
I don't know
I don't know
I think she uses that night
to cut a piece of cake
so they go
and they end up
killing that fool
and these guys
are getting ready to do what they need to do so Alex goes upstairs with that big old box
and he's trying to get into the to meet with the the upper guys the big bosses
uh Frank is just chilling talking to the lovelies and Alex he's making his way in
so they're just trying to figure out what's going on but that they go they gave the box to that
dude with the long hair so
back in early 80s and 90s
all the bad guys had to have long hair
don't ask me why
look at diehard all those guys had ponytail
and
was it Carl
was he the
the bond?
Yeah
he'd run around badass with long hair
so
they took the one
I assume that was
a Chad that brought it in
then Alex comes walking in
with another one
and they're both dressed the same and that guy with the long hair thinks that that's
the same guy that he already did because he kind of asked him,
hey,
you got more?
He's like,
yeah.
So he was telling him that he had more,
that he was going to go out and get it.
But the big dude with the long hair is telling like,
nah, man,
you got to get up there now and go see him.
But then,
is this Alex or is this Chad?
I'm getting confused now.
Well, the way he's acting, it seems like Chad.
Okay.
Because it seems like, because Alex seems like he's more composed and cool in situations.
So he's like telling him, I'm going to go get it.
But then Frank tells him to get low.
So he drops.
He lights up the first box that was upstairs or in the back or wherever they are.
That blows up.
hell breaks out breaks loose in the bar um chad springs into action and starts a rough and fools up and
throwing guys around giving these kicks the bad guys that were all in that room they're all like
ah what the fuck and they're all starting to run out of there while they're having this big fight
oh this guy's definitely chad the one that takes a drink of the out of the glass and then
for some reason breaks the glass with his hand and throws it away.
I think Alex is the one with a toothpick in his mouth.
I can't tell.
Or do they both have toothpicks?
I don't know.
I think somebody one time told me the way you can tell him apart is Alex is more using his hands more.
And Chad does more kick.
Yeah, this is when they realize that there's two of them
Because they're running around and then
Zang sees sees them together and he's like there's two of them
And then they blow up that the other crate that was full of C4 or whatever
But everyone got out before of the explosions all the bad guys the main bad guys and Kera on moon
I didn't see Moon in there
But they got out so now
now they know there's two and we got to go after them uh back in the office in zaire griffith's
office uh carra was digging through some files and she's i guess she assumed she found something
and then uh carra's there and stops her and making advances on her yeah this is the frisking
scene yeah sue put her hands where they don't belong
yeah then totally yeah you can
what she said you can frisk me or something like to that nature
it's basically her turn
yeah i i did you now you do me
so i was like whoa
what kind of movie is this
uh did that guy
i think that guy with the long hair died when they blew up
no he he he got up but everybody was like kicking his
ass because he's the one that uh gets kicked through the
aquarium or whatever.
Oh, yeah.
And then he gets up one more time and then Frank comes and kicks him in the face.
But we don't, I don't think we see him again after that.
So after Kara and Danielle's a little encounter, Danielle gets on the phone and she's talking to,
I assume moves Chad.
He's back at that abandoned hotel.
He's got one of those big ass Zach Morris cell phones from the,
back in the day.
So while she's on the phone talking to Alex or Chad,
the bad guys,
Griffith and them,
they're listening in onto the call.
So they're hearing everything that Danielle is telling,
Chad,
on what's going on with whatever,
and within the Griffith building or whatever.
So they start like,
oh, fuck, all right.
Well, we know what's going on now.
So now we need to find it.
We know there's two of them.
So now we got to kill both of them.
And I assume they all seem frank as well.
So I guess they probably didn't.
He was just sitting there chilling with the ladies.
Oh, he was with them at the door when they were leaving.
Oh, okay.
I wasn't sure if they saw him or not.
Because everyone, there was explosions and everyone was blowing up.
And all hell was breaking, losing this little Chinese bar.
so did they kidnap
um
daniel and bring her out there
no no no no no
chad's on his way to come get her
yeah chad was
was gonna go get her he was trying to find
uh Alex and frank
they were getting firewood and stuff
yeah i guess it to walk back 10
10 miles away to get firewood
some reason chad knows how to drive a boat
all of a sudden
yeah
so because they come back
and then they see that the boat is gone
and they're like oh fuck
um
was this their only uh mode of transportation
that boat
to get back and forth
yeah yeah
so they were basically stuck
oh that's right they were because
Chad was
trying to call his people
and then he was getting all drunk
because they
they couldn't
Alex.
Or Alex, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Because Kara and the rest of the bad guys,
they go charging into that Majong parlor,
looking for one of them,
Danielle.
And I assume they know that that's Chad now.
Well, I don't even think they know his name.
But they knew that was going on there.
So they're in the back.
And Danielle looks through the fish tank,
and she's Kara there.
And she's like, oh, fuck, we got to get out of here.
Chad is going crazy.
Or Alex is going crazy.
He's trying to get a hold of Danielle because I get it.
He thinks that his brothers are going to try to bang his girlfriend.
Oh, he's full on picturing in his mind.
Yeah.
Which I like because they kind of, when he does pick up Danielle,
know, to bring her back.
He's also thinking about it too.
Yeah.
I like this party.
They're trying to run out.
She tries to open that back door and she can't.
Then he's like, calm down, babe.
I got this.
And then gives it a kick.
And then it opens up and then they go running out.
So they're running around the back alleys of the whatever they were.
And some triad guys are running after them shooting at them.
And then Kara's.
in there trying to get
some answers from the guy that's sitting at
the desk but he's not doing anything so
she shoots the fish tank
and the other dude with the spurs
starts kicking that guy in the face
and then gives him a roundhouse
and it slits his throat
so he's dead
and uh they I assume
I don't know how Kara and then found out
what street that uh
Chad and Danielle were running down because
they're hot on their heels now too and they're running
through the crowd and some
some market.
So they're trying to get away
and I don't know why nobody's shooting
because they're all just standing around.
Damn, what else?
Almost two in the morning.
Stop texting me.
One of my friends on the other side of the country.
Anyway, so
they're trying to run and get away
and everyone else is hot after them.
I like this part because they run to
it looks all junky in this area.
but it's like all the boats that are put up together,
bumped up,
uh, docked up together.
And they start just running,
jumping for boat.
Yeah.
And they start jumping from boat to boat,
trying to get away from the bad guys.
She's doing pretty good in a dress and,
and heels.
Yeah.
And, uh,
thankfully those boats are like right up next to each other.
So they can just,
uh,
jump from boat to boat.
Some of them are like butted up,
like,
real close a couple of them
they had to jump so but then they
finally get to an end and they're like
ah what are we gonna do and he's like come on jump
jump in the water
and she she dives in
and then
Chad's getting ready but he
stops and he kicks one of the dudes
with the guns gives him some kick
the famous spin kick boom
boots him into the water
and then he's like oh shit
there's more guys come in
so Danielle's in the water so he dives
into the water all fancy and then here comes
Kara and their little tight shorts or whatever the hell
she's wearing but then Danielle and Chad get away
and Kara and the gang they're all looking
they see that they swam and jumped onto
I assume their boat because he takes control
and takes off back at the
hotel Alex is going crazy he's probably just
hosing down them cigars
and he's just, ah, mad, thinking on what's going on somewhere.
He is down in a whole bottle of whiskey.
Kara gets in a helicopter with her gang,
and they go searching after that boat.
And all those boats look the same.
But I assume she knows.
Well, they kind of go ahead to see where they could be gone,
and the only place, I guess, was this island with this big-ass hotel.
Well, they kind of fly by and they don't really see anything.
So they're not sure exactly where they're going.
Well, Frank's standing outside looking at the helicopter.
I don't know why.
It's supposed to be hiding.
That's right.
She sees him.
But do they know?
Oh, I guess they saw him in the club.
Yeah, when all that was going on.
so
Kara flies by in the helicopter
Frank's standing out there
he doesn't realize that she knows who he is
Chad and Danielle are still
on their way over
so I assume she couldn't tell
which boat that they were in that's why they were just flying around
and then they saw
the hotel
and she saw that he was out there
so yeah Frank is all faded
he's down in the booze
his mind is going wild he sees his brother banging his girl and he's hell of mad
well i'm watching it now she's like getting dressed
she's got like this look on her face like she's thinking about it
well it looks just like her boyfriend
but they finally show up and he's like oh yeah we're here okay we're there
and then Frank shows up and
and then here comes
Chad
or Alex
he comes in he's other than he's
all faded he's hell of mad
he's getting into his brother's face
and his brother's telling him to chill
you
they're going back and forth
looking at each other
but they're never in the same
same shot
and if they are
so it's bad
but
uh
frank is or uh
Alex is so mad
he ends up like punching
um
Danielle
and then Chad's like
hell now we ain't doing that
so he ended up kicking his brother
thought and thinking this was going to be
a bad ass fight between both of them
but
you could tell
when you know it's
John Claude Van Dan
but then whoever he's fighting
they're looking they're looking
looking away or their heads turned or something.
It's, it's crazy.
But Danielle's screaming, he's your brother, and Alex is, he ain't having it.
He wants to just beat him up.
Where was Frank at?
Frank's outside somewhere.
Looking at helicopters.
So they're wrestling around fighting.
Chad is running after him.
And they start tackling each other.
Start giving each other headbutts.
for being hell of faded man he could still fight
he's a little off balance but
he could still do some damage
but that uh Alex is
or um Chad
is really giving in them kicks
and then yeah now now that I'm watching it
like Chad that is how you can tell them apart
Chad is doing a hell of hell of kicks
they both go crashing off the balcony
and do you fall on
fall under the floor.
And then now here comes Alex.
He's, he's, he's, he's coming back.
He's beating the shit out of him out of Chad.
But then Frank comes in.
Taz him stop.
And he fires his gun in the air.
Did they get them, get them to stop.
Ah, shit's wild in this family.
So after they're both beat up,
I assume
Alex sobered up
He went to go sleep it off
On the beach somewhere
Well that's right he left
He leaves
Because Frank is yelling at them
Trying to kick logic
You guys are supposed to be fighting the Zang
But Alex
He ain't having it
And Chad's like we don't need
You know, it's just you and me, Frankie.
It's always been you and me.
Yeah, so Chad or Alex ends up leaving.
Wakes up on the beach.
I wonder if he knows what happened.
Wakes up on the beach, all beat up, faded, hungover.
But then when he wakes up, he notices they've been invaded.
There's a helicopter flying around.
He sees all these soldiers on.
the beach. So he's like, fuck. So he jumps up and like all these dudes and long hair and buff guys
roll up with machine guns. Daniel's in the house. Frank, he hears what's going on. So he springs
in action. Why was Chad sleeping on the beach? I don't know. Maybe he just wanted to go outside
too. He's probably just mad and went outside and just fell asleep. Because yeah, he wakes up and
and everything's going on.
He doesn't know what's happening.
He sees a helicopter flying around.
Frank springs into action.
He starts firing at all the guys that are in the house.
A couple of dudes and soldiers grabbed Danielle.
Another guy comes up behind Frank and it's moon.
He's got a gun to his head.
And then Frank,
Frank turns around.
Oh, motherfucker.
So,
Alex is outside.
He comes across some dude walking around on the beach.
So he starts beating his ass and takes his,
does he kill him with his knife or does he like just snap his neck?
He like karate chops him in the neck.
And the guy flies up in the air.
I think he was going to stab him.
But then he's seen that they got Daniel and Frank.
Yeah,
because he's looking off and he sees.
he sees the soldiers are
taking
Frank and Danielle
Why is Zhang here?
He wants to see what's going on. I don't know.
He shows up, where's the twins?
And then Frank's like, fuck you.
And then Moon,
he takes him, they starts beating them up.
Oh, Danielle got that split lip from
Alex.
So they're telling them, like, look, man, you guys are going to
find him so but uh
Chad
he springs into action he's got a rifle
I assume he beat up somebody and took it
he's hiding in the bushes
he finds a soldier that's sitting around
he kind of does the throws a rock
makes that guy turn
and then he goes up and whack
takes him down and where's Chad
is he still hung or uh
Alex
Alex he's coming up in the next
he jumps like two guys.
He does a badass move where he flips one guy in the air
and snaps his neck at the same time.
Let me see, because I'm just seeing.
Chad, he's just being the shit out of those dudes.
So, jumping forward really quick.
Zang, he's got his,
there on a big cargo ship or something.
That's because that's where the,
the final fight's going to be.
The back of the hotel, we see Chad.
He's lurking around in the hotel,
trying to find, I guess,
his brother and his girlfriend.
But yeah, that one dude pops up behind him with a knife.
And, oh, no, that was Frank.
Not Frank.
God damn it.
Chad.
He's a wolf.
the knife it tells them welcome home
but then we go back to the boat
and all those guys
I assume Zhang and
Griffith and all that
but they had one guy captured
this guy's
someone he was in
the guy that they captured that's in the chair
what the hell was he in
oh fuck one of these
one of these fighting movies
I could see him
but I cannot pick
who he's fighting
oh damn
there's a lot of these martial arts movies
is like everybody went from
movie to movie
they never
uh
always had they
like what's his name
the one dude
the henchman guy in diehard
he was in big trouble
and little china on
everything
oh al leon
yeah he's like one of those dudes
he's like in everything
so back on the ship
they got
uh frank
And Danielle tied up and they're beating the shit out of Frank.
He's all beat up.
What, um, what were they going to do to him other than kill him?
But why?
Did they know who Frank was?
Yeah.
They knew he was the bodyguard and he had to have told the twins what was going on.
Okay.
Because I wasn't exactly sure.
on why
they knew who Frank was
so
well I knew
Nigel Griffith knew who he was
yeah
because he worked so close with
was it Paul
yeah their dad
yeah
but still
what were these
uh
I assume their inheritance
or whatever
what were they doing
what were they getting
royalty
for the tunnel.
Money?
I don't know.
I don't know what's happening.
I kept saying the inheritance and fortune.
They kept using words like that.
I'm just like, it's a tunnel.
So they knew Frank and, or Chad and Alex show up onto the boat.
And Zhang is on there telling them that, yeah, this is what's happening and everything.
and everything Frank is all beat up
Daniel's hanging in there
uh
Kara keeps staring at Danielle
like undressing her with her eyes
and Moon's ready to step into it
he's got a pistol up
to Frank's head
but um
Dizang got on the
on the loudspeaker
and started
letting the boys
know what was going on.
So they,
somebody took a shot and then
Chad was like
because he
thought that they killed
Frank.
So he's mad now. He springs
into action. Some other guys show up and he
starts blasting them.
But then he gets
on
on the little
intercom.
Tell them, Griffith, you're dead.
And then screaming.
They're dad.
You don't like Van Dam for his acting skills.
You like him because he kicks ass.
But they didn't end up killing Frank.
I think they were just trying to lure out Chad.
So Chad is walking around doing his thing.
Looking around.
Here comes some soldiers peeking around the barrels.
Chad starts opening fire on them.
They're shooting out.
him as well.
Burials are falling.
I don't even know what's in these barrels.
Oil, gas, something.
And Chad is learned, or not Chad,
Alex, he's walking around with a machine gun.
And then we see the guy with the Spurs.
Been around.
Yep.
And then he, Chad, or Frank,
Alex comes walking out of the darkness.
And that guy with the spurs start slicing him,
cuts him in the arm he keeps ducking in and out of the shadows and uh Alex can't see him
and uh who is this dude the spurs guy has he been in other things i think i've seen him in
another action movie but not as much as like the other guys okay so they're having their
fight he's kicking and kicking and kicking and trying to get him with the spurs but then uh
Alex springs into action
and starts lighting them up.
I like that move though.
G grabs them and gives them the quick punches
and then bha gives them the
open palm.
So it takes him down.
Oh, come on.
I got ads now.
Weak.
But this is when after,
did that Spurs guy have a name?
Or was he just Spurs?
Henschman with Spurs, I guess.
And we get the battle with Moon and Chad.
This was kind of underwhelming.
Yeah.
Because all Moon does is like throw barrels.
Yeah, I was expecting, at least when in Enter the Dragon,
we got somewhat of a good fight.
Or in a blood sport.
Yeah.
this one it was like just throwing those barrels at him you just kept picking it up and
trying to smush smashing with one and then throw it yeah he's a big dude
yeah he's also a bodybuilder because i remember the first time i saw him in the end of the
dragon i was like god damn who is this fool that's the first movie that everyone's seen him in
yeah he's big and
He's throwing him.
I like that.
He throw that barrel and then
Chad gives it that kick, but shit, man.
Looks like it jacked up his leg
because he falls on the ground.
I like this scene right here.
They go into the room,
moon turns on the light.
He tells Chad to like, hold on, hold on.
And, of course, he's Bolo Young.
He has to take the shirt off and flex.
Well, he tore off
a Chad shirt
and he wasn't going to let him show him up
and in this movie he doesn't speak English
so he's just basically
takes his finger
and does the we're going to
we're going to go around and around
I like how he just
turned a light on
and then told him to hold on
yeah just wait wait
he takes that shirt off
I was waiting to start
just flex it
oh he does
the little horror music comes on
yeah
he's like bitch
I'm about to take you down
if they were really fighting
who do you think would have won
well bollo trained under
Bruce Lee
and bollo's been doing this a lot longer
he's got the power
I'm surprised he wasn't a bigger star
than he was I mean he's big
in the martial arts
I mean
I've seen him
I've seen him
in his other movie
I think
I can call
like Tiger Claw
or something
he wasn't good
in that one
I saw one
it was him
and
um
short round
like teenage
short round
I think so
it was a stupid movie
were they like
in high school
or something
I think so
yeah
I know what you're talking
Somebody brought that to work.
We'll have to find that one.
Yeah, all he's doing is just picking up barrels.
He tried rushing him.
But then Chad jumps over him.
Taps him on the back.
Moon turns around.
Blah.
He gives him a quick one to the face.
Then Moon jumps back up.
He gets that spin kick.
Gets him in the face.
Another one.
Another one.
He gets him again.
spin kick straight kick
come on
why isn't he springing it in action
he's just taking all these kicks to the face
and he didn't even do nothing
falls against the electrical box
and gets juiced up
I was waiting for him
like uh
what's his name in commando
um
who was in Bennett
when he got thrown
burning wells
yeah when he got thrown up against
the
the power box
he sprung back in action and started
whooping the shit out of it.
It was like the power box
like charged him out.
But this one
after he took all those kicks
and yeah this fight wasn't very good
but he got all those kicks
and he falls up against the power box
and he gets electrocuted
because then he just falls
and then as he vend
as Chad goes running away
the whole that little
I assume that power box
and whatever
was in those barrels ignite because there's a big
explosion and
Chad is a flying through the air.
Danielle is still hanging in tough
there and then some
some weirdos trying to have his way with him.
Yeah, I feel bad for her in this movie.
Everybody's trying to rape her.
I know.
But then
Alex shows up and wha,
knocks that fool out. But before he can
release her, here comes
Carl with them thick legs.
in her little black body suit.
She wraps it around his neck.
And then she starts fighting him.
She pulls out her
her blade. He's looking at her.
It's you and I,
dickhead. Come on.
They're so close why
he just punch her? He just walked right in front of her.
This was a kind of a weak fight too.
Even her back is fucking huge.
Swinging a little weak-ass hits
and slices them across the stomach.
He could have just spin kick
is that close enough to grab his dick
this is this is Alex he's not doing spin kicks
he's just punching her
she grabbed his dick and then he swatted her
I think it would have been better
if Danielle killed her
yeah she should have
for fucking touching me
so she spins and gets a kick
and I guess her heels go into that pipe
and then he grabs her
he's holding her he grabs a knife
Chad shows up, starts shooting at Zang and Griffith
because they're up in the rafts.
They're like down in the belly of the boat.
But then Chad, he ends up stabbing
Kara and the side.
Yeah, this fight was weak.
She stabbed, or Alex stabs her.
So she's dead.
The brothers see each other.
And now they're going after
Zhang and Griffith.
Griffith and Zhang are up on the
deck of the ship.
Here comes Alex. He springs into action.
They go running off the side of the boot.
Looks like
Chad
untied Danielle
because she's running right after him.
Zhang, he's running down the deck.
Chad or Alex is running after him.
Chad won, or Alex wants Zhang
because he's
turns his brother he's mine
and then
Chad is with Danielle
and I assume they're running after
Griffith
they run they're still running down
on the dock and there's
big things that are
loading those big containers
onto the ship
because I don't know
I assume
yeah I like there's all this gun
gunfire and explosions and these guys
are still working yeah business as usual
they they're working around loud equipment you probably don't even hear it or just figured
somebody might have dropped something or I don't know but yeah you see two guys that don't belong
there you don't stop I'd be like hey what's going on so Zang is trying to run he's climbing
up I don't know why he's climbing all the way up on all these things and jazz Alex is running after
him. Griffith is running
and Chad is hot on his heels
and Danielle's
right along right with him.
I'm surprised she has energy to do anything
but
Griffith's firing at
Chad
who gets
I think it's Zang that gets it.
It gets it.
Smashed?
That's Griffin.
Oh Griffith gets smashed?
Or does Zang get
does he
Zane gets his hand
crushed into gears
and then slides off the thing
and falls
okay
that's right
because one of these guys
gets crushed
by one of these big
containers
yeah man
Zay I don't know
why he ran up all
on these things
like you ain't get in a way
if you're going to run up there
because there ain't
there ain't much places to run
so
but it's got to be
dramatic I guess
how are you with heights
when I was younger
I used to want to like skydive
and all that crazy shit
but now that I'm older
no
yeah it's hard for me
to even watch things
like that one movie fall
I was watching it on my phone
and I was getting dizzy
I was like grabbing
grabbing the armrest
like I was up there going to fall
you see the pictures for the new one
there's another one
yeah
filmed it already i guess they get stuck on the side of a mountain
they know well swear alert if you guys didn't see that way so is it someone totally
different now yeah two different girls what is it fall to or fall again fall to
uh chat and uh daniel i don't know why they went over by those big containers but uh containers
starting to come at them and they're like ah so chad pushes daniel out of the way into a little
little area where she don't get hurt back up at the top of these crane things zang and
alex are fighting at one another zang pulls out a fire extinguisher and spraise him back to chad
he's getting pushed off the edge by one of these big containers and then he goes diving off
jumps into the water
and I assume Danielle's still up there.
Yeah, because he had pushed her in the side
to get out the way.
Griffith is the one that's controlling
all the containers.
So the good thing he knows how to do it all.
Back up top, Zhang and Alex are going at it.
Zang pulls out the little sword from his cane
so he starts slicing
and cutting Alex.
Alex falls up against the gears
and then
I would at least
took some skin off.
He rakes it up. Zang charges
with the sword.
Alex
grabs him, sticks his arms
in the gear and it goes through and breaks
his arm. He drops his
little sword.
Back
at Griffith, he's shooting
into the water because
Chad jumped in
of the water. Well, he doesn't
know, because he's got, Griffith is going,
Chad, Alex, whichever you are.
Back up top,
Zang is
trying to, I don't know,
talk his way out of not getting killed.
Yeah.
Because he's telling him, you know, Alex Griffith,
he's too weak. And he goes,
don't worry about Griffith. My brother,
he's taking care of him.
And then
Zhang is just, he's like,
why did you crawl up onto that thing?
He should have just fell on the ground and wait there.
But Zhang is trying to talk his way out of it, talking about I'll give you half of everything.
And then Alex tends to Zang is like, well, what about my father?
Griffith's still shooting in the water thinking that Chad is in there.
But Chad must have swam all the way back up.
And good thing he knows how to work these controls.
trolls because he's going
Griffith and then he cuts loose
that big container and
Dizh just smashes
smashes Griffith
so evil is punished
he's dead
Alex is back up top
talking about what about my father
and he's
uh Zang is telling him that
Griffith did it
but
I assume Alex turned on
the gears
because then he starts sliding and Zane goes
ah he falls off
off the side of wherever they were at
onto some big wood crates
and goes crashing through him
I don't know what was in him but I'm sure he's dead
so
Chad is like Alex
so they go running up
this is probably the best shot of them together
so evil is punished
the brothers
reunite
finding love
for one of the other
Danielle
it looks so weak
you can tell
that they're both
just standing
and don't even know
what to look at
and whoever this guy
is that he's hugging
that both
it don't even look like them
and why oh
Alex or Chad is
given Danielle
to Alex
and here comes Frank
I don't know how he got out of it
But these all beat up
They forgot about Frank
Lip all busted up
All the blood on his chest
Shirted it up
All of them
They're all beat to hell
And that
Is double impact
Oh man
Evil is punished
The brothers are together
Who knows what they're gonna do
Are they gonna go back to L.A.
and do what they're doing.
Is Chad going to come or Alice going to come with him or is he going to stay and keep?
They got all those royalties coming.
A ton of royalties.
How is that going to work now?
And this song during the credits is crazy.
I don't know.
Somebody's rapping and the impact of my soul.
Oh, he says, feel the impact.
my soul
I gotta love early 90s music
but that was double impact
and twice the van damage in that one
watching it and talking about it
it's goofy if you haven't seen it
I mean but it's Van Dam
my opinion all his best stuff
was in the 80s which
wasn't much but there was enough
I know there's one that I enjoy that a lot of people
don't really ever talk about
now we're going to have to
Cyborg. Do you remember that one?
I liked it.
Was it in the theater or was it just straight to VHS at the time?
It was a canon movie, so
because
yeah, no retreat, no surrender was the one I saw first.
Then when Bloodsport came out,
like oh man and that was in the theater so we're like sweet let's go see that
went saw it movie was awesome shout out to terry and Phil my little Chinese buddies
my skater buddies uh the little video store across street from our house
we went in there and i was looking around and we saw black eagle
the box came out in 1988 with um uh ninja shokasugi
And Van Dam.
Van Dam is like
front and center on that box.
He's bigger.
That was the first thing I saw
was Van Dam. I was like, oh man, he's in this?
Let's see it.
And then I didn't realize that was Shokensugi.
And I was like, oh, cool.
And who,
from what I remember this movie,
Van Dam's the bad guy in this one.
And I think it was Russian too.
from what I remember
it wasn't good. Did you see that one?
Black Eagle?
Yeah, a long time ago.
It's on Prime.
I'm gonna fall down the Van Dam Hole.
Well, after Cybor, he had Kickboxer,
then Lionheart, death warrant,
then Double Impact.
I didn't like Lionheart.
No, no, no, no, no.
Was it the Legionaire?
Was that the one?
well he was a legionaire in liner but he also had a movie called legionaire
when did that one come out was that later legionaire 98
okay all right that that's the one I'm thinking of
it says here he was also writer and producer of legionaire
I didn't like that one
what was the one with uh
rosanna arquette
Oh, nowhere to run.
Is that the one?
Yeah, with one of the Culkin kids.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That came out in, nowhere to run, came out, 93.
Oh, okay, there it is, right after Universal Soldier.
Cyborg.
That was a rental, too.
We didn't.
What's his name?
Was the villain, War?
child from
point break
back off war child
he's with me

He said he can't handle a cane shooting his automatic weapon sideways.
He said he couldn't handle any of them shooting their guns.
