I read once that Cameron actually wanted to have Michael Biehn be the Terminator this time, which would have been a total mindfuck not only for Sarah but for the audience. It probably wouldn't have worked, but I can always imagine.

He's said before that one of his proudest acting moments was where, during the first chase, he was running fast enough to reach out and tap Edward Furlong - who was trying to speed away on his dirt bike - on the shoulder.

Can you really consider Pulp Fiction an action film, though? I mean, there are "action" scenes in it, per se, but it's more of a weird black comedy, or a neo-noir, or…hell, I dunno what it is, but it doesn't come off as an action film.

HEY BENNY! LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RI-VERRRRRRRR!!!

Get ready for a surprise!

He played a renegade cop in Split Second, which is one of the most idiotic movies I've ever seen - and yet I've watched it twice, because fuck it, why not?

Is anybody else surprised at how many people had two movies come out in '90? Not only Schwarzenegger, but Seagal, Van Damme, Harlin, Sheen - I mean, god damn. The coke must have been particularly potent that year to get them so energized.

Oh, Rutger Hauer. He's practically the Verhoeven of actors - Hollywood fucked him but good, albeit after a few true successes.

T2's third act might have been relentless, but damn near all of T1 was relentless - one of the main reasons I prefer the original.

IT'S NOT A TUMOR!!!

Sue me, dickhead.

Between this and Robocop, I kinda wish Verhoeven had quit Hollywood right after making Total Recall. We'd have been deprived of Basic Instinct, yes, but is that really such a loss?

Verhoeven actually wanted Smith to play Richter in Total Recall too, but Smith figured he'd just be riffing on Clarence Boddicker again and said no. The rest is, as they say, the rest.

…yeah. Fuck.

Like I stated in another thread, the Craig films are essentially Dalton films, but directed with actual verve and momentum - by the time of the Dalton era, John Glen was basically ticking off boxes on the Bond film checklist, whereas guys like Martin Campbell and Sam Mendes are used to doing things their own way.

Glen managed one honest-to-god decent fight scene - Necros against Green Four in The Living Daylights - but that was more due to the choreography than anything on his part.

"That's not bad for a blind man…but that butter knife ain't gonna stop no bullet!"

The Last Boy Scout is indeed a damn good action movie, but it's so determinedly un-PC that it crosses over into truly bad taste at least once. As our late Lord Ebert said:

Tremolo.

1) Universal Soldier: Regeneration
2) Maximum Risk
3) Sudden Death
4) Bloodsport
5) JCVD
