Raul Julia didn’t slouch in this role. He was a credit to the industry.

When Executive Decision first came to video, I rented it with some friends. Seagal was the main draw for us, so we were most disappointed when SPOILER he bit it before they even finished boarding the plane. This was before I realized that Kurt Russell is by far the better action star.

Oh, come now, Raul Julia was a fine actor who died too young, and whose work is beloved by a lot of us up here. (For me, that love started with a little picture called “Florida Straits”.) Those Addams Family movies are quite good, and Raul Julia is magnificent in them, and I’m not joking!

JCVD always seemed on the cusp of becoming an A-list action star, but he never got that Terminator-style breakthrough that Arnold got. I thought maybe Time Cop or Hard Target could be it, but those never seemed to surpass Commando-levels of respect.

I know that we say this too often around here at times, but Bruce McGill really is a goddamn national treasure.

‘He also said McComb has half the agency. I believe him’

Ah yes, the 1906 Transformers movie, where they transform into cable cars and cause an earthquake in San Francisco.

‘What kind of name is Chance?’

At the time, Jean-Claude sure did feel like an A-lister. But looking back on his career, not so much.

Yeah, fair enough!

Me too!

Van Damme and Seagal both had that couple years in the late 80s to early 90s where they were trying to be the next big action star.  They were as A-list as you could get for guys in movies that fought Ninjas and drug cartels with Karate

Time Cop!

As terrible as the film is, it does have one of the greatest lines of dialogue in cinema history

Raul Julia, though, he treated it like any other role and gave his performance all it deserved. Watching it, you wouldn’t know he was ill. Consummate professional.

The Dichotomy of Man.

In that case I’m sorry you had to read it, but I am not sorry for my feelings!

This reads like an apology from an ex-apologist.

I thought the latest Terminator rule was that a Game of Thrones actress must play Sarah Connor.

Dammit. I don’t want to watch this... but Mackenzie Davis <3 ... Sigh. I will probably watch it.
