00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:06,660
Hello, kitties. It's your old pal, John Kucir,

2
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:07,859
the voice of

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:08,980
the cryptkeeper,

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,779
and you're listening to

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,699
the bottom shelf.

6
00:00:21,704 --> 00:00:22,204
Dallas?

7
00:00:22,585 --> 00:00:24,285
What? What the heck is this?

8
00:00:25,785 --> 00:00:27,785
I don't know. What what are what are

9
00:00:27,785 --> 00:00:31,910
these? What what are these? Those are VHSs.

10
00:00:32,170 --> 00:00:32,670
No.

11
00:00:33,289 --> 00:00:35,049
Bro, I just I no no no no

12
00:00:35,049 --> 00:00:36,530
no no. You don't understand. I just pulled

13
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:37,229
I just

14
00:00:38,409 --> 00:00:40,189
I just pulled these out of the dumpster.

15
00:00:40,729 --> 00:00:43,369
What is what is Bloodsport and Kickboxer doing

16
00:00:43,369 --> 00:00:44,350
in the dumpster?

17
00:00:45,655 --> 00:00:48,554
Bro, these were fantastic. I was Were they?

18
00:00:48,614 --> 00:00:49,594
Hello, bro.

19
00:00:50,695 --> 00:00:53,174
You know, you remember in the Chronicles of

20
00:00:53,174 --> 00:00:53,674
Narnia

21
00:00:54,215 --> 00:00:57,254
when Aslan's like, don't quote the ancient magics

22
00:00:57,254 --> 00:00:59,520
to me, which I was there when the

23
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560
ancient magics were formed, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,719
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, like, that's me when

25
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:07,280
it comes to, like, these eighties action films.

26
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,159
Like, I was there. Like, this is my

27
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:10,959
child. What

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,180
dude,

29
00:01:13,085 --> 00:01:15,005
they had temple they had temple of doom

30
00:01:15,005 --> 00:01:16,064
down there. What?

31
00:01:16,445 --> 00:01:17,905
No way. Seriously.

32
00:01:18,525 --> 00:01:20,145
I don't know Last Dragon, I guess.

33
00:01:23,405 --> 00:01:26,340
Prepare yourself to discover a world of terrible

34
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:26,900
movies.

35
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:30,960
High above the planet Geekeri, a group of

36
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,100
intrepid explorers

37
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,140
hover over the dangerous planet in their fabulous

38
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,740
super orbital spacecraft.

39
00:01:37,734 --> 00:01:40,534
Their mission, to conduct a complete analysis of

40
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:43,515
movies known throughout the universe as terrible.

41
00:01:46,454 --> 00:01:48,935
So grab your space popcorn, grab your freeze

42
00:01:48,935 --> 00:01:51,299
dried ice cream, and join us for today's

43
00:01:51,299 --> 00:01:53,560
mission of discovery and wonder.

44
00:01:56,420 --> 00:01:58,840
Are these movies better than the galaxy thinks?

45
00:01:59,299 --> 00:02:00,759
Or do they really belong

46
00:02:01,299 --> 00:02:02,759
on the bottom shelf?

47
00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:20,770
Hello, movie lovers and movie haters, and welcome

48
00:02:20,770 --> 00:02:22,550
to the bottom shelf,

49
00:02:22,930 --> 00:02:25,330
the place where every movie has a place.

50
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:27,250
I'm Dallas. And with me joining me on

51
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:28,550
this adventure is

52
00:02:29,569 --> 00:02:30,069
John.

53
00:02:30,930 --> 00:02:31,830
That's me.

54
00:02:32,355 --> 00:02:34,055
He was very upset today.

55
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:36,995
Fortunately, John, this is a show that lets

56
00:02:36,995 --> 00:02:38,514
people know they love and they're cared for.

57
00:02:38,514 --> 00:02:40,194
So, John, you're loved. You care for. Calm

58
00:02:40,194 --> 00:02:42,135
down. Relax. Oh. Woofsa.

59
00:02:43,235 --> 00:02:45,300
I I feel like I honestly feel like

60
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:46,040
somebody

61
00:02:46,419 --> 00:02:47,719
is mocking me

62
00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:50,900
or, like, insulting me. Like, bro, this these

63
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:51,400
were

64
00:02:52,099 --> 00:02:55,000
like, this defines night these movies define

65
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:55,800
1988,

66
00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:56,680
1989

67
00:02:57,060 --> 00:02:58,120
for me. Like,

68
00:02:58,474 --> 00:03:00,014
seriously, that's Wow.

69
00:03:00,715 --> 00:03:03,435
I can't I not only not only can

70
00:03:03,435 --> 00:03:06,254
I not, but I won't? I will not.

71
00:03:06,474 --> 00:03:09,294
Wow. Cannot and I will not, sir. This

72
00:03:09,435 --> 00:03:09,935
this

73
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,000
needs to be addressed. We need to show

74
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,080
the world that these movies do not belong

75
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:15,819
in the dumpster.

76
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,919
That is our that is my mission this

77
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,819
month, maybe,

78
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,620
please.

79
00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:23,639
Okay. I mean, sure. Why not? They're here.

80
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,080
You've already pulled them out of the dumpster.

81
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,895
You you've knocked off the grease.

82
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:31,314
Let's fire up the VHS player.

83
00:03:31,775 --> 00:03:33,135
Do what what do we do? Do we

84
00:03:33,135 --> 00:03:35,694
have a VHS player? What do you think

85
00:03:35,694 --> 00:03:37,694
we've been watching these on? I thought these

86
00:03:37,694 --> 00:03:38,514
were on film.

87
00:03:39,069 --> 00:03:40,610
Well, that explains the resolution.

88
00:03:43,069 --> 00:03:44,990
No, man. Come on. You and I both

89
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:47,409
know fatal deviation was on no film anywhere.

90
00:03:47,710 --> 00:03:49,310
Alright? I'm not near how to pull out

91
00:03:49,310 --> 00:03:52,485
a Betamax for that thing. Sir, I'd Kevin

92
00:03:52,485 --> 00:03:53,705
had it on some

93
00:03:54,004 --> 00:03:56,564
weird Irish format. So I just

94
00:03:57,125 --> 00:03:59,044
This is true. I I thought he threw

95
00:03:59,044 --> 00:04:01,064
a gold coin at a rainbow,

96
00:04:01,604 --> 00:04:04,245
and that was how they did their movies

97
00:04:04,245 --> 00:04:04,905
back there.

98
00:04:05,284 --> 00:04:07,740
Oh, oh my gosh. Well, let's let's let's

99
00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:09,020
let's do this. I'll tell you what. Let

100
00:04:09,020 --> 00:04:10,800
me pull out when we flip the database,

101
00:04:11,260 --> 00:04:13,980
what does it say about Bloodsport here? It

102
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:14,300
says,

103
00:04:15,659 --> 00:04:16,959
in 1988,

104
00:04:17,339 --> 00:04:17,839
Sheldon

105
00:04:18,139 --> 00:04:18,639
Litchi

106
00:04:19,339 --> 00:04:21,259
felt the wind of Frank Duke's bag of

107
00:04:21,259 --> 00:04:23,485
farts and decided to make a movie out

108
00:04:23,485 --> 00:04:24,064
of it.

109
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:25,964
After partnering with,

110
00:04:26,444 --> 00:04:29,185
Newt Arnold, whose directing career could be described

111
00:04:29,245 --> 00:04:31,745
as always the bridesmaid but never the bride,

112
00:04:32,365 --> 00:04:34,605
they reached out to a young, mostly sober

113
00:04:34,605 --> 00:04:36,839
Jean Claude Van Damme to act out the

114
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,699
fictional world of Frank Duke.

115
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,279
I'm sorry. The fictional Frank Duke created and

116
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,439
inspired the greatest martial arts character of all

117
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:45,819
time, Johnny Cage.

118
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:49,800
Bro. Okay. I have always wondered if Frank

119
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,659
Dukes was the was the

120
00:04:53,245 --> 00:04:56,225
inspiration for Johnny Cage and Bloodsport because there

121
00:04:57,485 --> 00:04:59,165
Yeah. There's no way he's not. Yeah. I

122
00:04:59,165 --> 00:05:01,165
think Jean Claude Van Damme period is a

123
00:05:01,324 --> 00:05:03,084
is the inspiration for it. You know, he

124
00:05:03,084 --> 00:05:03,584
inspired,

125
00:05:04,605 --> 00:05:05,345
he inspired,

126
00:05:05,725 --> 00:05:08,899
flawless victory. What was it called? Fatal deviation.

127
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:10,180
That's that's that's

128
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:14,019
it. So wrong.

129
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,120
You know, good art inspires good art. That's

130
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,100
all I'm gonna say.

131
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,680
Oh my gosh. I went to a big,

132
00:05:23,274 --> 00:05:25,274
Mortal Kombat phase for a little bit, and

133
00:05:25,274 --> 00:05:25,854
I played

134
00:05:26,154 --> 00:05:26,974
several games.

135
00:05:27,514 --> 00:05:29,774
And Johnny Cage was questionable at times,

136
00:05:30,235 --> 00:05:32,714
but he was always Jean Claude Van Damme.

137
00:05:32,714 --> 00:05:33,214
Uh-huh.

138
00:05:34,235 --> 00:05:35,935
Except without the French accent.

139
00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:38,150
Yeah. Exactly.

140
00:05:38,610 --> 00:05:39,810
Alright. Well, let me read the back of

141
00:05:39,810 --> 00:05:41,569
the box you got here. Alright. Let's see

142
00:05:41,569 --> 00:05:42,069
here.

143
00:05:42,610 --> 00:05:43,110
Bloodsport

144
00:05:43,569 --> 00:05:46,150
takes you where few have ever gone,

145
00:05:46,529 --> 00:05:50,310
inside the hidden Konkong arena where elite combatants

146
00:05:50,449 --> 00:05:50,949
clash

147
00:05:51,345 --> 00:05:52,085
in the Kumite,

148
00:05:52,705 --> 00:05:55,925
a little known, but hotly contested world championship

149
00:05:56,625 --> 00:05:58,645
of full contact fighting.

150
00:05:59,105 --> 00:06:01,845
So Joe Rogan's here. No rest, Westerner

151
00:06:02,305 --> 00:06:06,430
had ever won this Titanic tournament until the

152
00:06:06,430 --> 00:06:10,610
arrival of iron wheeled American Frank Dukes, who

153
00:06:10,750 --> 00:06:11,490
was sport.

154
00:06:12,029 --> 00:06:13,329
Who was the

155
00:06:13,629 --> 00:06:16,529
who was the iceberg to this Titanic tournament?

156
00:06:18,824 --> 00:06:21,225
Bloodsport. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I I need

157
00:06:21,225 --> 00:06:22,925
to pause you for a second here, Dallas.

158
00:06:23,305 --> 00:06:23,785
Everybody

159
00:06:24,105 --> 00:06:25,865
okay. Here's here's the thing I need I

160
00:06:25,865 --> 00:06:27,165
need I need to tell you.

161
00:06:27,704 --> 00:06:28,204
I

162
00:06:28,824 --> 00:06:30,985
love reading about what a lot of people

163
00:06:30,985 --> 00:06:32,845
will call fake martial arts

164
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:36,199
and watching stuff on that. And the first

165
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:38,199
the first thing you will ever learn in

166
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:41,240
fake martial arts 101 is who Frank Dukes

167
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:41,740
is.

168
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,540
This guy is a charlatan

169
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,379
in the first degree,

170
00:06:49,205 --> 00:06:49,785
and and,

171
00:06:51,365 --> 00:06:53,764
and, like like, for real, he is to

172
00:06:53,764 --> 00:06:55,925
the martial arts world what who what Ed

173
00:06:55,925 --> 00:06:58,584
and Lorraine Warren is. Makes for great storytelling.

174
00:06:58,805 --> 00:07:01,720
Don't get me wrong. Charlatan through and through.

175
00:07:02,180 --> 00:07:02,680
So,

176
00:07:03,139 --> 00:07:05,139
go ahead, Dallas. I you're I I just

177
00:07:05,139 --> 00:07:06,500
wanted to throw it out there. You're gonna

178
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:08,600
get you're gonna get a lot of sarcastic

179
00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:10,819
comments from me about Frank Dukes. A lot

180
00:07:10,819 --> 00:07:13,314
of shade. Alright. Picking back up. Blood sport

181
00:07:13,314 --> 00:07:16,115
is his story. A true life triumph of

182
00:07:16,115 --> 00:07:20,055
bedrock courage, uncanny skill, and steadfast loyalty.

183
00:07:20,594 --> 00:07:21,574
As Duke

184
00:07:21,954 --> 00:07:24,055
as Duke, Jean Claude Van Damme

185
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:25,620
also enjoyable,

186
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:28,500
also enjoyed a true life triumph.

187
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:31,759
This role perfectly suited his appealing mix of

188
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:34,979
physique, charm, and martial arts expertise, and kickbox

189
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:37,759
his career as a commanding box office action

190
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:39,459
favorite into overdrive.

191
00:07:39,894 --> 00:07:41,675
Van Damme has dazzled audiences

192
00:07:42,294 --> 00:07:45,974
ever since playing heroes who, simply refuse to

193
00:07:45,974 --> 00:07:46,474
lose.

194
00:07:46,774 --> 00:07:47,834
And when Van Damme

195
00:07:48,294 --> 00:07:49,594
and when Van Damme's,

196
00:07:50,294 --> 00:07:52,774
Dukes steps into the mat, blood sport isn't

197
00:07:52,774 --> 00:07:55,115
just a sport. It's a war.

198
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,939
I like how this went from, like,

199
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:00,720
tell me about the movie to, hey. Jean

200
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,100
Claude Van Damme is amazing.

201
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,199
I I I like I I like how

202
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:07,840
it says heroes that refuse to lose, my

203
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,704
mind goes, and refuse to go on stage

204
00:08:10,704 --> 00:08:13,105
unless they've downed their 8 ball of Coke.

205
00:08:13,105 --> 00:08:15,584
In the meantime, the far better actor is

206
00:08:15,584 --> 00:08:16,644
dying of cancer.

207
00:08:17,904 --> 00:08:18,404
Oh,

208
00:08:18,785 --> 00:08:22,324
terrible. Rip. Raul Julia, you are a legend.

209
00:08:22,704 --> 00:08:23,204
Word.

210
00:08:23,620 --> 00:08:25,620
Alright. Why don't you do some trivia for

211
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:27,720
us there, John? Oh, can I really?

212
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:29,000
Okay.

213
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:31,939
Well, I wanna I wanna first start out,

214
00:08:31,939 --> 00:08:33,539
and I need to see if I can

215
00:08:33,539 --> 00:08:35,879
find an exact number for it here.

216
00:08:36,339 --> 00:08:36,839
But

217
00:08:37,139 --> 00:08:37,959
in this

218
00:08:38,339 --> 00:08:38,839
movie,

219
00:08:41,034 --> 00:08:42,975
I need to find an exact number here.

220
00:08:43,195 --> 00:08:46,394
But there is a martial arts, like, a

221
00:08:46,394 --> 00:08:49,355
literal martial arts legend in this movie. Can

222
00:08:49,355 --> 00:08:50,815
you tell? And it's not

223
00:08:51,514 --> 00:08:52,254
it isn't

224
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,580
Jean Claude Van Damme.

225
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,440
Apparently, the the guy who plays the villain

226
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,299
in this movie, his name is Bolo Ewan,

227
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,100
and he is a martial arts cinema legend.

228
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,559
Yeah. Go ahead and look him up on

229
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,544
IMD IMDB, Fermidales.

230
00:09:09,245 --> 00:09:11,424
Got him. Well, hold on.

231
00:09:12,764 --> 00:09:15,105
It's not listening. There he is. Bolo Jong.

232
00:09:15,804 --> 00:09:16,945
Go ahead and,

233
00:09:18,524 --> 00:09:20,764
go ahead and tell me how many movies

234
00:09:20,764 --> 00:09:22,304
do you see on there that you recognize?

235
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:24,410
Oh, goodness gracious.

236
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:29,350
This might backfire because it just occurred to

237
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:30,870
me that I know more about kung fu

238
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:33,269
movies than the average bear. Let me scroll

239
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:36,549
through scroll through his 110 movies listed as

240
00:09:36,549 --> 00:09:39,214
an actor, not stunts, but an actor.

241
00:09:40,794 --> 00:09:41,534
The the papa.

242
00:09:43,274 --> 00:09:43,774
Ironheart,

243
00:09:44,235 --> 00:09:46,394
I know that one. Double impact, know that

244
00:09:46,394 --> 00:09:46,894
one.

245
00:09:47,434 --> 00:09:48,334
So it's 2.

246
00:09:49,195 --> 00:09:51,214
Loading more. Bloodsport, 3.

247
00:09:51,730 --> 00:09:54,309
Bruce Lee's, dragon fights back, 4.

248
00:09:58,049 --> 00:09:59,750
A few moments later.

249
00:10:00,129 --> 00:10:00,629
Okay.

250
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:03,410
Okay. I gotta tone down my excitement a

251
00:10:03,410 --> 00:10:05,649
little bit on this fact now. The dragon,

252
00:10:05,649 --> 00:10:06,870
the hero, 5.

253
00:10:07,184 --> 00:10:07,684
But

254
00:10:08,865 --> 00:10:10,625
you get the point. Bro has been in

255
00:10:10,625 --> 00:10:13,745
some stuff, right? Enter the dragon. 6. Yes.

256
00:10:13,745 --> 00:10:15,424
Enter the I forgot he was an enter

257
00:10:15,424 --> 00:10:16,644
the dragon. That's right.

258
00:10:17,024 --> 00:10:17,524
So

259
00:10:18,304 --> 00:10:20,705
when I say legend, homeboy was in enter

260
00:10:20,705 --> 00:10:21,924
the freaking dragon

261
00:10:22,460 --> 00:10:24,480
with with Bruce Lee. Okay.

262
00:10:25,980 --> 00:10:27,420
Do you know how old he was in

263
00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:28,080
this movie?

264
00:10:28,779 --> 00:10:30,460
I don't know. How old was he? Bro

265
00:10:30,460 --> 00:10:33,019
was 42 years old. Wow. He was in

266
00:10:33,019 --> 00:10:33,519
Bloodsport

267
00:10:33,899 --> 00:10:34,399
versus,

268
00:10:34,779 --> 00:10:36,705
like, 20. I think what was JCVD

269
00:10:37,085 --> 00:10:38,945
I think was like 22 when he did

270
00:10:39,004 --> 00:10:41,404
blood sport. Something like that. I thought maybe

271
00:10:41,404 --> 00:10:42,225
it was 28.

272
00:10:43,085 --> 00:10:45,644
I mean, I've heard the phrase. I've heard

273
00:10:45,644 --> 00:10:47,485
the phrase black don't crack. But I mean,

274
00:10:47,485 --> 00:10:48,945
this guy looked like

275
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,759
props to BOLO. I mean, that man is

276
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:55,259
legendary,

277
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,820
and he was phenomenal

278
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,899
Oh, yeah. In this movie.

279
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:03,964
And in this movie, though, Jean Claude Van

280
00:11:03,964 --> 00:11:05,745
Damme actually knocked out Bernard,

281
00:11:06,445 --> 00:11:09,004
Mariano with his elbow, and the scene made

282
00:11:09,004 --> 00:11:10,144
it into the movie.

283
00:11:10,605 --> 00:11:12,945
Wow. So kudos to you, JCVD,

284
00:11:13,325 --> 00:11:16,144
for not caring about your, co actors.

285
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,840
To be fair, I've heard I mean, in

286
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,879
in even the best controlled environments where you

287
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:25,600
have martial arts movies, somebody's gonna get smacked

288
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240
around. Oh, for sure. And it's gonna happen.

289
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,919
I mean, look at Jackie Chan movies. You

290
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:31,985
look at Bruce Lee's movies. Oh, Oh, 100%

291
00:11:32,205 --> 00:11:34,524
movies. You know you know who's notorious for

292
00:11:34,524 --> 00:11:36,784
that? Who? Steven Seagal.

293
00:11:37,085 --> 00:11:39,804
Oh, yeah. He's he's actually known to speaking

294
00:11:39,804 --> 00:11:42,865
of, fake martial artists, check him out.

295
00:11:45,139 --> 00:11:47,700
He, is has been known to, like, just

296
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:50,840
go full contact on his costars just because

297
00:11:50,899 --> 00:11:52,040
he needs to feel,

298
00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:54,759
masculine, I guess. I don't know. Lord.

299
00:11:55,860 --> 00:11:57,884
Also another fact about this movie. This is

300
00:11:57,884 --> 00:11:59,725
one of the very few films that are

301
00:11:59,725 --> 00:12:02,544
featuring scenes that were filled inside the Kowloon

302
00:12:02,605 --> 00:12:05,184
walled city before its destruction. Oh, wow.

303
00:12:05,644 --> 00:12:08,365
So the Kowloon walled city that you see

304
00:12:08,365 --> 00:12:10,544
in this movie is the real thing.

305
00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:13,070
The.

306
00:12:13,850 --> 00:12:16,009
This is gonna say something that you won't

307
00:12:16,009 --> 00:12:19,309
understand until you watch this movie, Dallas. Mhmm.

308
00:12:19,850 --> 00:12:21,470
Frank Duck, Frank Dukes

309
00:12:22,169 --> 00:12:25,149
was the actual fight coordinator for this film.

310
00:12:26,315 --> 00:12:27,215
When JCVD

311
00:12:27,595 --> 00:12:30,394
was cast, Dukes announced that Van Dam wasn't

312
00:12:30,394 --> 00:12:32,555
nearly good and in good enough shape to

313
00:12:32,555 --> 00:12:33,835
put him through this and,

314
00:12:34,555 --> 00:12:36,975
put him through a 3 month training program.

315
00:12:37,610 --> 00:12:40,570
And Van Damme, a world championship martial artist

316
00:12:40,570 --> 00:12:42,169
in his own right, called it the hardest

317
00:12:42,169 --> 00:12:45,230
thing of his life. Wow. Yeah. So,

318
00:12:46,329 --> 00:12:49,304
schlock, meet schlock, I guess. I don't Right.

319
00:12:49,384 --> 00:12:52,184
To be fair, he was legitimately military. And

320
00:12:52,184 --> 00:12:54,264
so our mill our our our our men

321
00:12:54,264 --> 00:12:55,485
and women who serve the military,

322
00:12:56,105 --> 00:12:57,804
the training they go through is legitimately

323
00:12:58,184 --> 00:13:00,345
hard. And he was a marine corps, and

324
00:13:00,345 --> 00:13:01,245
so that's legitimately

325
00:13:01,784 --> 00:13:03,784
Mhmm. Marine corps training is is pretty rough.

326
00:13:03,784 --> 00:13:04,284
So,

327
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:07,639
I mean, I'm not saying that he was

328
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:09,639
top notch, but I could see him pushing

329
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:11,559
though through more in core training. I'm I'm

330
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,820
gonna I'm gonna cry foul where

331
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,500
all

332
00:13:15,959 --> 00:13:16,940
all initial

333
00:13:18,184 --> 00:13:21,625
armed service training is tough because that's what

334
00:13:21,625 --> 00:13:24,264
boot camp is designed to be. Mhmm.

335
00:13:24,985 --> 00:13:27,804
The information I've seen on Frank Dukes is

336
00:13:27,865 --> 00:13:29,164
none of his actual

337
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,340
career training

338
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,779
that is on his publicly listed record

339
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,200
has anything to do with combat of any

340
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,420
sort. Right.

341
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:40,299
So

342
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,559
liar liar, pants on fire to him. Yes.

343
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,134
But we're not we're not here we're not

344
00:13:45,134 --> 00:13:46,034
here to

345
00:13:46,894 --> 00:13:48,334
I I I'm we need to back this

346
00:13:48,334 --> 00:13:51,454
up because my biases are pointing jumping in

347
00:13:51,454 --> 00:13:53,934
because this movie was legitimately, like, one of

348
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:55,855
the greatest movies in my childhood. So I

349
00:13:55,934 --> 00:13:57,454
we need to figure out why is this

350
00:13:57,454 --> 00:13:59,074
on here. Well, let's

351
00:13:59,420 --> 00:14:01,580
let's hit the community outreach. Let's go ahead

352
00:14:01,580 --> 00:14:03,820
and do that. We'll we'll tag team it.

353
00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:07,019
Alright? Alright. 1st person agreeing with you, homie

354
00:14:07,019 --> 00:14:08,080
of mine, Robbie.

355
00:14:08,779 --> 00:14:09,759
Blake, he says,

356
00:14:10,139 --> 00:14:13,120
just the all time best martial arts movie.

357
00:14:15,365 --> 00:14:16,345
Okay. Well,

358
00:14:16,884 --> 00:14:17,865
buddy of mine,

359
00:14:18,245 --> 00:14:19,384
Carlos Renfield

360
00:14:19,764 --> 00:14:20,985
says classic

361
00:14:21,445 --> 00:14:22,584
Renfro? Renfro.

362
00:14:23,044 --> 00:14:23,945
I said Renfro.

363
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,980
Okay. So that's a word for Dracula.

364
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,820
Carlos. I am so sorry.

365
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,080
Right before the show, we were talking about

366
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,340
Josh Berkey. Berkey likes

367
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,120
Nicholas cage, and he was recently in a

368
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,059
Dracula movie called Renfield.

369
00:14:43,375 --> 00:14:44,914
And I was trying to think of

370
00:14:45,534 --> 00:14:48,335
a Nicholas Cage movie to watch with Josh

371
00:14:48,495 --> 00:14:51,214
it's it's it's sorry, my dude. I am

372
00:14:51,214 --> 00:14:51,955
so sorry.

373
00:14:54,014 --> 00:14:55,075
My friend Carlos

374
00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:56,080
Renfro,

375
00:14:56,460 --> 00:14:58,960
whose last name I did know, I promise,

376
00:15:00,779 --> 00:15:01,919
says classic,

377
00:15:02,379 --> 00:15:05,259
loosely based on a real tournament, mindless violent

378
00:15:05,259 --> 00:15:07,919
fun. This I would agree with. Yes. Yes.

379
00:15:08,625 --> 00:15:10,304
Why don't Dale? No. No. Why don't you

380
00:15:10,304 --> 00:15:11,825
go ahead and read number 4? Because that's

381
00:15:11,825 --> 00:15:13,105
just going to be weird if I have

382
00:15:13,105 --> 00:15:14,325
to read. Oh, okay.

383
00:15:15,105 --> 00:15:15,605
John,

384
00:15:16,384 --> 00:15:17,044
are you?

385
00:15:17,665 --> 00:15:20,804
Says, surely not everyone was kung fu fighting.

386
00:15:22,625 --> 00:15:23,125
Dale.

387
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,220
Excuse me.

388
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,779
Dale. I'm sorry. I didn't mean

389
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,100
to cough all over your name, my dude.

390
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,899
Says best Street Fighter movie ever.

391
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,694
You know, I would not I would not

392
00:15:37,694 --> 00:15:40,254
be surprised if this also inspired that video

393
00:15:40,254 --> 00:15:41,554
game series as well.

394
00:15:42,975 --> 00:15:46,495
Oh, Bobby s, who is my father-in-law, says,

395
00:15:46,495 --> 00:15:47,235
good action.

396
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:50,600
Acting is,

397
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:53,080
good action, bad acting.

398
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:57,540
The only good Van Damme movie is time

399
00:15:57,540 --> 00:15:59,779
cop because I had the actual plot. It

400
00:15:59,779 --> 00:16:02,440
had an actual plot plot in, depended

401
00:16:03,204 --> 00:16:04,184
and did depend

402
00:16:04,644 --> 00:16:07,065
on the muscles of Brussels to carry

403
00:16:07,445 --> 00:16:07,945
it.

404
00:16:08,804 --> 00:16:11,684
And so good good action, bad acting is

405
00:16:11,684 --> 00:16:13,865
what his thoughts were. You know, I

406
00:16:15,125 --> 00:16:17,544
feel you could say that's just any

407
00:16:18,889 --> 00:16:21,870
action movie from this time period, though. Right.

408
00:16:22,410 --> 00:16:23,070
I mean,

409
00:16:23,850 --> 00:16:24,509
you know?

410
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:27,370
Anyway, let's go ahead and get to our

411
00:16:27,370 --> 00:16:28,649
expectations then.

412
00:16:29,210 --> 00:16:31,370
Dallas, being as I'm the one who pulled

413
00:16:31,370 --> 00:16:33,149
this up in outrage and disgust,

414
00:16:33,815 --> 00:16:36,294
why don't you go ahead and set your

415
00:16:36,294 --> 00:16:36,794
expectations

416
00:16:37,095 --> 00:16:37,914
while I

417
00:16:38,215 --> 00:16:40,075
try to sift through my,

418
00:16:42,615 --> 00:16:43,115
feelings

419
00:16:43,654 --> 00:16:46,654
my complex feelings about the situation we're in.

420
00:16:47,014 --> 00:16:48,475
Complex feelings about it.

421
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:52,399
Okay. So my expectations, I watched this as

422
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:53,699
a kid years ago.

423
00:16:54,319 --> 00:16:56,659
And I remember enjoying it.

424
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:57,620
So

425
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,959
I, however, have grown to learn that the

426
00:17:00,959 --> 00:17:02,579
'80s were rough in their storytelling.

427
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:03,860
And

428
00:17:04,855 --> 00:17:07,335
and power ballads are not my favorite thing.

429
00:17:07,335 --> 00:17:09,034
So I expect to see,

430
00:17:10,615 --> 00:17:12,714
awkward walking around with music playing,

431
00:17:13,974 --> 00:17:15,034
senseless violence

432
00:17:15,335 --> 00:17:17,894
that's gonna be fun to watch. And I

433
00:17:17,894 --> 00:17:19,734
think I'll end up enjoying the movie as

434
00:17:19,734 --> 00:17:20,315
a whole.

435
00:17:22,509 --> 00:17:24,269
Yeah. I'm kind of on the same thing.

436
00:17:24,269 --> 00:17:24,769
Like,

437
00:17:25,070 --> 00:17:26,910
I haven't seen this movie in a long

438
00:17:26,910 --> 00:17:27,410
time.

439
00:17:29,309 --> 00:17:30,830
But from what I remember of it, what

440
00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:32,910
I'm expecting to see is a lot of

441
00:17:32,910 --> 00:17:35,090
really awesome kung fu scenes,

442
00:17:37,765 --> 00:17:38,984
intense action,

443
00:17:41,125 --> 00:17:42,105
a lot of training,

444
00:17:42,805 --> 00:17:44,345
a lot of really

445
00:17:44,644 --> 00:17:47,144
a lot a lot of style over substance

446
00:17:47,285 --> 00:17:49,765
in that 80 fat eighties fashion. You know

447
00:17:49,765 --> 00:17:50,819
what I mean? Yeah.

448
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:55,059
But done in very tongue and cheek sort

449
00:17:55,059 --> 00:17:55,720
of way.

450
00:17:56,259 --> 00:17:58,899
Mhmm. So that is my expectation. I'm I'm

451
00:17:58,899 --> 00:18:00,740
expecting to love every minute of it. Sort

452
00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:03,159
of like did you ever see Expendables 2?

453
00:18:03,414 --> 00:18:03,914
Yeah.

454
00:18:04,375 --> 00:18:05,974
The second one's my favorite one because they

455
00:18:05,974 --> 00:18:08,714
really lean into that cheeky 19 eighties action.

456
00:18:09,095 --> 00:18:09,414
And,

457
00:18:10,055 --> 00:18:12,454
that that's what I'm expecting from this. Speaking

458
00:18:12,454 --> 00:18:13,994
of The Expendables 2.

459
00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:15,194
Okay.

460
00:18:16,859 --> 00:18:17,359
JCVD

461
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:19,900
was the bad guy in that movie. He

462
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:21,980
was, wasn't he? He was. And he was

463
00:18:21,980 --> 00:18:23,599
fantastic in that movie.

464
00:18:24,539 --> 00:18:26,700
I was asking myself earlier this week, was

465
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:29,759
there any movie he was ever good in?

466
00:18:31,595 --> 00:18:33,194
That was it. I loved him in that

467
00:18:33,194 --> 00:18:33,694
movie.

468
00:18:34,794 --> 00:18:35,994
Alright. Anyway, let's,

469
00:18:36,554 --> 00:18:38,315
now that we've got the expectations in, are

470
00:18:38,315 --> 00:18:41,375
you ready to see a piece of cinematic

471
00:18:41,595 --> 00:18:42,095
art?

472
00:18:42,609 --> 00:18:44,549
I am. Let's do it.

473
00:18:44,929 --> 00:18:45,429
Alright.

474
00:18:46,049 --> 00:18:46,789
Let's go.

475
00:18:49,970 --> 00:18:50,789
Dear listeners,

476
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:53,190
this is your opportunity to escape.

477
00:18:53,569 --> 00:18:55,730
Our crew has just entered into the media

478
00:18:55,730 --> 00:18:56,869
projection chamber.

479
00:18:57,454 --> 00:18:59,695
What horrors and madness that they consume are

480
00:18:59,695 --> 00:19:00,195
unknown?

481
00:19:00,654 --> 00:19:02,914
Their mental state upon their return is

482
00:19:03,454 --> 00:19:03,954
unknown.

483
00:19:04,414 --> 00:19:05,555
You have been warned.

484
00:19:08,974 --> 00:19:10,434
Look, John. All I'm saying

485
00:19:10,789 --> 00:19:12,470
is that you don't have to try to

486
00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:14,149
do the splits every time you see a

487
00:19:14,149 --> 00:19:15,829
Jean Claude Van Damme movie. It's not good

488
00:19:15,829 --> 00:19:17,769
for you, man. You can't bend that way.

489
00:19:17,909 --> 00:19:20,470
Dude, it works for the guy in Fatal

490
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:20,970
Deviation.

491
00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:23,669
Yeah. But right now, you're you have, like,

492
00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:25,990
a 6 pound bag of, like, crushed ice

493
00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:27,184
on your thigh.

494
00:19:27,725 --> 00:19:29,505
Are are you calling me fat, Dallas?

495
00:19:34,605 --> 00:19:36,065
Yes. Oh, we're rolling.

496
00:19:39,659 --> 00:19:41,679
Alright. So we're done watching the movie. And,

497
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:46,159
and, it was a movie.

498
00:19:46,779 --> 00:19:49,019
And, at this point in the show, we're

499
00:19:49,019 --> 00:19:50,859
gonna share our thoughts. And we're gonna try

500
00:19:50,859 --> 00:19:53,724
to spoiler free thoughts. We're just gonna give

501
00:19:53,724 --> 00:19:55,664

502
00:19:56,525 --> 00:19:58,125

503
00:19:58,125 --> 00:19:59,484

00:19:59,484 --> 00:20:00,144

505
00:20:00,924 --> 00:20:02,705
John and I are watching it on this,

00:20:03,325 --> 00:20:05,664

507
00:20:06,049 --> 00:20:08,769

00:20:14,609 --> 00:20:15,509

518
00:20:25,345 --> 00:20:26,325
My spoiler

519
00:20:26,625 --> 00:20:29,264
free thoughts on this movie that I can

520
00:20:29,264 --> 00:20:30,565
sum up this movie.

521
00:20:31,570 --> 00:20:33,410
I can I can sum up this movie

522
00:20:33,410 --> 00:20:35,730
without spoiling a single thing in it with

523
00:20:35,730 --> 00:20:36,549
one sentence?

524
00:20:37,009 --> 00:20:39,670
Okay. Alice, I can. Are are you ready?

525
00:20:39,809 --> 00:20:42,070
I'm ready. You are about to be amazed

526
00:20:42,130 --> 00:20:44,049
by how much I'm about to sum up

527
00:20:44,049 --> 00:20:46,884
this movie with a single sentence that you're

528
00:20:46,884 --> 00:20:48,025

529
00:20:48,484 --> 00:20:49,865
this episode's over.

530
00:20:50,325 --> 00:20:52,325
By how much I'm going about to sum

531
00:20:52,325 --> 00:20:54,404
up this movie with a single sentence and

532
00:20:54,404 --> 00:20:56,805
how much it does not spoil anything in

533
00:20:56,805 --> 00:20:57,545
this movie.

534
00:20:57,924 --> 00:20:58,424
Okay.

535
00:20:59,849 --> 00:21:01,630
My childhood is a lie, Dallas.

536
00:21:03,210 --> 00:21:04,970
Okay. Well, join us next week as we

537
00:21:04,970 --> 00:21:06,029
talk about kickboxer.

538
00:21:07,849 --> 00:21:08,250
And,

539
00:21:09,210 --> 00:21:10,349
see what happens in,

540
00:21:10,730 --> 00:21:11,789
John's life there.

541
00:21:14,575 --> 00:21:16,835
When you say your childhood is a lie,

542
00:21:16,975 --> 00:21:18,735
are you what what are we talking about

543
00:21:18,735 --> 00:21:20,255
here, buddy? Are we talking about the fact

544
00:21:20,255 --> 00:21:22,095
that you were you you you had the

545
00:21:22,095 --> 00:21:22,894
Easter biting,

546
00:21:23,215 --> 00:21:24,654
still in your in your life up until

547
00:21:24,654 --> 00:21:26,674
last month? Or, like, what's happening here? Yo.

548
00:21:26,869 --> 00:21:29,590
Like, I remember watching this movie and just

549
00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:31,930
being awestruck by every

550
00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:36,090
capacity of this movie. Like, you remember how

551
00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:36,730
I

552
00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:40,309
talked up best of the best to you

553
00:21:40,309 --> 00:21:43,035
and Bam when we watched that movie? And

554
00:21:43,035 --> 00:21:44,414
you remember how

555
00:21:45,595 --> 00:21:47,934
horse crap Best of the Best was

556
00:21:48,315 --> 00:21:50,174
when we finally watched that movie?

557
00:21:50,475 --> 00:21:51,695
I do recall this.

558
00:21:52,795 --> 00:21:54,414
Do you remember how much

559
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:55,710
Branson talked

560
00:21:56,169 --> 00:21:57,389
up Guy Ver too

561
00:21:57,769 --> 00:21:59,309
before we watched the movie?

562
00:21:59,769 --> 00:22:00,269
Yep.

563
00:22:00,569 --> 00:22:02,269
Do you see a pattern here?

564
00:22:06,724 --> 00:22:08,244
Oh, I see it. I see it all

565
00:22:08,244 --> 00:22:09,464
coming together here.

566
00:22:11,045 --> 00:22:13,765
What happened to my childhood, Dallas? Was it

567
00:22:13,765 --> 00:22:14,744
all a lie?

568
00:22:15,445 --> 00:22:16,664
Well, first off,

569
00:22:17,125 --> 00:22:17,625
John,

570
00:22:19,309 --> 00:22:20,529
you were a child.

571
00:22:21,150 --> 00:22:23,950
You still thought Play Doh tasted good. Dude,

572
00:22:23,950 --> 00:22:25,890
Play Doh still does taste good.

573
00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:30,990
We got deeper issues to talk about today,

574
00:22:30,990 --> 00:22:31,809
ladies and gentlemen.

575
00:22:34,034 --> 00:22:35,894
Why is your sister walking in?

576
00:22:37,474 --> 00:22:38,914
Just sit on that big, long couch over

577
00:22:38,914 --> 00:22:39,575
there, John.

578
00:22:41,714 --> 00:22:44,054
Oh my gosh. No. I I feel you.

579
00:22:44,194 --> 00:22:44,694
Definitely,

580
00:22:45,634 --> 00:22:46,774
how do I put this?

581
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,400
It's not a movie that aged well, and

582
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,920
I don't know if that's a a matter

583
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,619
of we've seen better

584
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,600
or if it's a matter of we were

585
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,119
just young. Although I know other people we

586
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,039
we heard other people say how much they

587
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:00,420
love this movie. Right.

588
00:23:01,724 --> 00:23:03,724
I think we can go spoiler free with

589
00:23:03,724 --> 00:23:04,625
this comment.

590
00:23:05,325 --> 00:23:06,384
Some of it is,

591
00:23:07,565 --> 00:23:09,005
and you and I had a conversation about

592
00:23:09,005 --> 00:23:10,065
this earlier about

593
00:23:11,244 --> 00:23:13,644
the the fighting some of the fighting

594
00:23:14,349 --> 00:23:15,169
a lot of was

595
00:23:15,710 --> 00:23:16,529
super off.

596
00:23:16,829 --> 00:23:17,329
And,

597
00:23:17,789 --> 00:23:20,289
like, like, the they were not filming

598
00:23:20,829 --> 00:23:22,909
punches and kicks well, and so it was

599
00:23:22,909 --> 00:23:24,909
clear they were fake. And then there were

600
00:23:24,909 --> 00:23:26,429
thing there were people who were like, I'm

601
00:23:26,429 --> 00:23:29,409
a martial artist. And and now I get

602
00:23:29,605 --> 00:23:31,065
I'm gonna put this out there, guys.

603
00:23:31,684 --> 00:23:34,264
I am not an expert martial artist whatsoever.

604
00:23:35,125 --> 00:23:37,284
I have did some classes when I was

605
00:23:37,284 --> 00:23:39,605
a kid. As a teenager, did some stuff.

606
00:23:39,605 --> 00:23:41,524
I've kept up You hear that Frank Dukes?

607
00:23:41,524 --> 00:23:43,065
That he he actually has

608
00:23:44,099 --> 00:23:44,599
training.

609
00:23:45,940 --> 00:23:48,180
He I I my money's on Dallas. If

610
00:23:48,180 --> 00:23:50,259
you Dallas, if you fight here, I'm gonna

611
00:23:50,259 --> 00:23:52,359
put it out there right now. Frank Dukes,

612
00:23:52,980 --> 00:23:55,880
the bottom shelf challenges you to a Kumite.

613
00:23:56,714 --> 00:23:57,214
What?

614
00:24:00,154 --> 00:24:01,694
What is happening here?

615
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:04,255
How about no? Okay.

616
00:24:06,075 --> 00:24:08,554
The man's 68 years old. We don't need

617
00:24:08,714 --> 00:24:10,380
No, Dallas. I think we can take him.

618
00:24:13,099 --> 00:24:14,859
Call up the Paul brother. He'll love to

619
00:24:14,859 --> 00:24:16,559
do that. He likes fighting old people.

620
00:24:16,940 --> 00:24:17,440
So

621
00:24:18,140 --> 00:24:20,140
That's that that's it. We're gonna do Tyson

622
00:24:20,140 --> 00:24:21,359
versus Frank Dukes.

623
00:24:25,345 --> 00:24:27,045
Oh, my gosh. But anyways,

624
00:24:27,505 --> 00:24:29,205
I know enough to know

625
00:24:29,825 --> 00:24:31,505
that some of these cats were just they

626
00:24:31,505 --> 00:24:33,684
were they were not good actors. And

627
00:24:34,144 --> 00:24:35,505
they did not know what they're doing. There

628
00:24:35,505 --> 00:24:37,585
are some people who are legitimately are I

629
00:24:37,585 --> 00:24:39,265
could sell they have a training, they know

630
00:24:39,265 --> 00:24:40,820
what they're doing. But there are some people

631
00:24:40,820 --> 00:24:43,460
like, what are you doing in this in

632
00:24:43,460 --> 00:24:44,200
this scene?

633
00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:47,299
And I think that lends itself. You you

634
00:24:47,299 --> 00:24:49,220
mentioned how you've you've really gotten into watching

635
00:24:49,220 --> 00:24:51,299
UFC right now. Mhmm. Once you see, like,

636
00:24:51,299 --> 00:24:52,820
the real thing and certain stuff, when you

637
00:24:52,820 --> 00:24:54,259
see people acting it out and doing it

638
00:24:54,259 --> 00:24:56,575
poorly, it's hard to do it. I I

639
00:24:56,575 --> 00:24:57,875
mentioned it to you, like,

640
00:24:58,734 --> 00:25:00,414
people who are musicians. I know people who

641
00:25:00,414 --> 00:25:03,134
are who are talented, talented musicians. You're you

642
00:25:03,134 --> 00:25:04,674
included. And watching

643
00:25:05,855 --> 00:25:08,274
movies and shows where somebody's playing an instrument,

644
00:25:08,414 --> 00:25:11,054
it drives people like you nuts because you're

645
00:25:11,054 --> 00:25:13,119
like, your fingers aren't even in the right

646
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,519
spot, you know, or you're you're not even

647
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:16,960
in the right beat with your with your

648
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,619
drumming. Or like when I when I hear

649
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,240
or see people talk about guns in a

650
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,839
way that's like, no, that's not how that

651
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:24,339
works.

652
00:25:25,244 --> 00:25:27,484
Why do we keep coming back to fatal

653
00:25:27,484 --> 00:25:28,704
deviations conversation?

654
00:25:32,444 --> 00:25:33,184
What's happening?

655
00:25:34,125 --> 00:25:36,464
Because, again, it's the same

656
00:25:36,845 --> 00:25:37,345
movie.

657
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,380
The same movie.

658
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,460
Oh, gosh.

659
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,659
Bro, like, for real, though, it's like

660
00:25:50,319 --> 00:25:52,559
never mind. I just train of thought gone.

661
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:54,875
It's alright. I'll say this. It's like what

662
00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:56,335
Bobby said is that

663
00:25:57,755 --> 00:26:01,054
good action, but the the acting was bad,

664
00:26:02,234 --> 00:26:02,734
throughout

665
00:26:03,115 --> 00:26:04,654
a lot of this movie.

666
00:26:05,035 --> 00:26:06,730
It's like I I feel like I have,

667
00:26:06,730 --> 00:26:09,289
like, some kind of Mandela effect going on

668
00:26:09,289 --> 00:26:11,069
when it comes to this movie because

669
00:26:12,890 --> 00:26:14,109
it's so bad.

670
00:26:14,650 --> 00:26:16,670
Yeah. But it's like

671
00:26:17,724 --> 00:26:19,504
everything's there. I remember,

672
00:26:19,884 --> 00:26:21,884
you know, I mean, like, it's not like

673
00:26:21,884 --> 00:26:25,105
I misremembered the movie. And it's and like,

674
00:26:25,565 --> 00:26:27,085
it's not like it was in like, in

675
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:28,464
Branson's case where,

676
00:26:31,980 --> 00:26:33,899
you know, I'm I'm remembering it with rose

677
00:26:33,899 --> 00:26:36,859
colored glasses, and it just wasn't how I

678
00:26:36,859 --> 00:26:39,019
remembered it. Like, it's it's how I remembered

679
00:26:39,019 --> 00:26:40,159
it, but I remembered

680
00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:41,919
it being

681
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:43,200
good.

682
00:26:43,904 --> 00:26:45,664
I don't know how to put it outside

683
00:26:45,664 --> 00:26:46,325
of that.

684
00:26:48,065 --> 00:26:50,225
And and part of it is, yes, I

685
00:26:50,225 --> 00:26:51,684
I I in the past

686
00:26:52,384 --> 00:26:54,805
2 years, I've really gotten into UFC.

687
00:26:55,664 --> 00:26:57,424
And while we were watching this movie, I

688
00:26:57,424 --> 00:26:58,565
was telling Dallas

689
00:27:01,099 --> 00:27:04,400
that once you see what real violence

690
00:27:05,259 --> 00:27:05,980
looks like

691
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:06,960
Mhmm.

692
00:27:07,419 --> 00:27:09,119
Unless someone's an actual

693
00:27:09,579 --> 00:27:10,079
technician

694
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:12,319
to understand

695
00:27:12,619 --> 00:27:14,559
not only how to fight,

696
00:27:16,015 --> 00:27:18,095
but the angles that you need to see

697
00:27:18,095 --> 00:27:20,974
things in order to make not fighting look

698
00:27:20,974 --> 00:27:21,474
real.

699
00:27:21,934 --> 00:27:24,095
Right. You have to have some real technique

700
00:27:24,095 --> 00:27:25,454
in order to do that. And that's just

701
00:27:25,454 --> 00:27:25,954
not

702
00:27:26,894 --> 00:27:28,115
Frank Dukes,

703
00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:31,140
when you're Frank Dukes is the a fight

704
00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:31,640
choreographer.

705
00:27:32,019 --> 00:27:34,180
Well, again, that that speaks to how bad

706
00:27:34,180 --> 00:27:36,660
he was. Right. Right. And and that's and

707
00:27:36,660 --> 00:27:39,140
that's that's that's partly what I'm saying. But

708
00:27:39,140 --> 00:27:40,660
on the other end of it, though, like,

709
00:27:40,660 --> 00:27:42,440
I remember the action being

710
00:27:42,980 --> 00:27:43,480
better.

711
00:27:44,095 --> 00:27:44,835
You understand?

712
00:27:46,174 --> 00:27:48,355
And it reminds me of, you know,

713
00:27:48,975 --> 00:27:50,674
for some of you have been along the

714
00:27:50,815 --> 00:27:52,495
been along on the ride with me this

715
00:27:52,495 --> 00:27:54,095
year. This year has been the year I've

716
00:27:54,095 --> 00:27:56,990
really gotten back into hip hop. Yeah. Thank

717
00:27:57,149 --> 00:27:59,470
thanks to the Kendrick and Drake beef, and

718
00:27:59,470 --> 00:28:00,369
you're gonna hear

719
00:28:00,750 --> 00:28:02,190
you're gonna hear a lot about that on

720
00:28:02,190 --> 00:28:04,509
the next loft episode that I've been teasing

721
00:28:04,509 --> 00:28:06,450
forever. But I I've got l j,

722
00:28:07,069 --> 00:28:09,309
previously of the Geeks Under Grace podcast. I

723
00:28:09,309 --> 00:28:11,294
don't remember the name of the group that

724
00:28:11,294 --> 00:28:12,755
he's with now.

725
00:28:13,294 --> 00:28:14,835
I think that's Comets of the Cross.

726
00:28:15,214 --> 00:28:17,214
Okay. But he's gonna hop on with me.

727
00:28:17,214 --> 00:28:18,974
We're gonna talk about the state of hip

728
00:28:18,974 --> 00:28:20,034
hop as a total,

729
00:28:20,575 --> 00:28:22,514
because 2024 was wild.

730
00:28:23,534 --> 00:28:26,180
But I have it. My new favorite rapper

731
00:28:26,180 --> 00:28:27,880
of all time is Kendrick Lamar.

732
00:28:29,299 --> 00:28:29,799
And

733
00:28:30,980 --> 00:28:32,440
on his song Euphoria,

734
00:28:33,539 --> 00:28:36,654
he made a statement where he said, send

735
00:28:36,654 --> 00:28:38,914
them send them to America to imitate heritage.

736
00:28:39,134 --> 00:28:40,994
They can't imitate this violence.

737
00:28:42,255 --> 00:28:44,494
And I'm like, yeah, that that pretty much

738
00:28:44,494 --> 00:28:44,994
describes

739
00:28:45,934 --> 00:28:48,335
this movie. The action scenes in this movie

740
00:28:48,335 --> 00:28:49,954
is just like like

741
00:28:50,414 --> 00:28:52,170
it's sort of like watching

742
00:28:53,269 --> 00:28:55,210
did you ever watch WWF, Dallas?

743
00:28:55,829 --> 00:28:57,750
A little bit. Yeah. Do you remember back

744
00:28:57,750 --> 00:28:59,269
in the did you watch it back in

745
00:28:59,269 --> 00:29:03,049
the classic WWF with the roided out giants

746
00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:04,490
of, like, Hulk Hogan

747
00:29:04,964 --> 00:29:06,884
and This is back when Hogan was wearing,

748
00:29:06,884 --> 00:29:09,944
like, yellow tights. Yeah. And Macho Man

749
00:29:10,804 --> 00:29:11,464
Mhmm. Shortsmith

750
00:29:11,765 --> 00:29:14,265
shower curtain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

751
00:29:14,884 --> 00:29:16,825
So classic era. It's like

752
00:29:17,204 --> 00:29:18,345
if you were to go

753
00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:20,859
back to that era of WWF

754
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,940
now and actually watch it.

755
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,940
Mhmm. Oh, it's so bad.

756
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,460
Yeah.

757
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,019
But it but you're

758
00:29:31,634 --> 00:29:33,875
everything's there as you remember it. But now

759
00:29:33,875 --> 00:29:36,275
that you watch it, and you're an adult

760
00:29:36,275 --> 00:29:38,195
now, and you have a certain, you have

761
00:29:38,195 --> 00:29:40,934
a certain grasp on what reality is.

762
00:29:41,315 --> 00:29:43,875
Right. It's just like, you're like, no, that's

763
00:29:43,875 --> 00:29:45,555
not how that works. No, if you did

764
00:29:45,555 --> 00:29:47,335
that, that's not how you would react.

765
00:29:47,690 --> 00:29:49,609
Right. And then you you see how the

766
00:29:49,609 --> 00:29:51,769
punches are missing or you're seeing how that

767
00:29:51,769 --> 00:29:54,269
slam wouldn't even hurt or do any damage,

768
00:29:55,130 --> 00:29:55,630
and

769
00:29:55,930 --> 00:29:58,569
your brain starts may you start seeing the

770
00:29:58,569 --> 00:29:59,069
cracks.

771
00:29:59,690 --> 00:30:01,105
And I think that's what happened to me

772
00:30:01,105 --> 00:30:02,865
in this movie. It's like I started seeing

773
00:30:02,865 --> 00:30:04,785
all the cracks in it because I had

774
00:30:04,785 --> 00:30:06,724
a firmer grasp on reality.

775
00:30:07,184 --> 00:30:09,664
Right. Which which but this movie did bomb

776
00:30:09,664 --> 00:30:11,765
at the box office. You know, like, everybody

777
00:30:11,825 --> 00:30:13,684
was into it. So it makes me wonder

778
00:30:13,984 --> 00:30:14,484
exactly

779
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,000
how much cocaine were they doing in the

780
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,500
eighties?

781
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,000
I think it was a matter of that

782
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,660
it was such a new and novel thing.

783
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:25,240
We the the martial arts boom was was

784
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,420
taking place back in the eighties nineties,

785
00:30:28,214 --> 00:30:28,714
And,

786
00:30:29,894 --> 00:30:31,654
everyone was excited about it. We're on the

787
00:30:31,654 --> 00:30:33,595
back end of of Bruce Lee.

788
00:30:33,894 --> 00:30:35,994
We're on the back end of all like,

789
00:30:36,535 --> 00:30:38,855
Jackie Chan was starting to come into into

790
00:30:38,855 --> 00:30:40,234
play a little bit. Mhmm.

791
00:30:40,535 --> 00:30:41,929
Rumble in the Bronx had dropped just yet,

792
00:30:41,929 --> 00:30:43,089
but, I mean, he's starting to come up

793
00:30:43,089 --> 00:30:44,210
with a couple of them. Rumble in the

794
00:30:44,210 --> 00:30:46,210
Bronx came out either 91 or 93. I

795
00:30:46,210 --> 00:30:49,009
forget which. Yeah. And which was his which

796
00:30:49,009 --> 00:30:50,869
was his American smash hit, but,

797
00:30:51,250 --> 00:30:52,769
you know, it was starting to take place,

798
00:30:52,769 --> 00:30:54,450
and we were so hungry for it because

799
00:30:54,450 --> 00:30:55,730
it was a new type of genre. It

800
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:56,769
was a new type of thing we wanted

801
00:30:56,769 --> 00:30:58,825
to watch and see. And so I think

802
00:30:58,825 --> 00:31:00,445
that's what it was is it was just

803
00:31:00,825 --> 00:31:01,484
it was

804
00:31:01,865 --> 00:31:02,365
fun.

805
00:31:04,105 --> 00:31:04,605
Well,

806
00:31:05,785 --> 00:31:07,545
let's go ahead and get into the spoil

807
00:31:07,545 --> 00:31:08,525
section of this,

808
00:31:08,904 --> 00:31:09,404
and,

809
00:31:10,265 --> 00:31:11,884
and let's let's talk specifics

810
00:31:12,789 --> 00:31:15,049
about what we liked and didn't like about,

811
00:31:15,829 --> 00:31:16,650
about John's,

812
00:31:17,269 --> 00:31:18,410
smoldering childhood.

813
00:31:24,390 --> 00:31:25,369
Ladies and gentlemen,

814
00:31:26,115 --> 00:31:27,414
the spoiler section.

815
00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:32,994
I'd like to welcome everybody to the,

816
00:31:33,634 --> 00:31:35,575
smoldering remains of my innocence.

817
00:31:36,115 --> 00:31:38,355
And, we're gonna go ahead and dig through

818
00:31:38,355 --> 00:31:41,130
it and try to figure out why child

819
00:31:41,529 --> 00:31:43,710
John's childhood is a complete farce.

820
00:31:44,970 --> 00:31:47,049
I wanna start off by Joining me right

821
00:31:47,049 --> 00:31:49,309
now, I have my panda spirit guide.

822
00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:53,769
Hey, Vi. Why don't you go ahead and

823
00:31:53,769 --> 00:31:54,509
help me,

824
00:31:55,130 --> 00:31:56,414
sort through the wreckage

825
00:31:57,275 --> 00:31:59,214
of why my entire life is a lie?

826
00:32:00,795 --> 00:32:01,914
Well, I don't know if we can go

827
00:32:01,914 --> 00:32:03,755
that deep into things, so let's call them

828
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:05,595
era. But I wanna point this out. I'm

829
00:32:05,595 --> 00:32:07,434
gonna shout out to Dale for his comment

830
00:32:07,434 --> 00:32:08,255
because, literally,

831
00:32:08,714 --> 00:32:09,454
the first

832
00:32:09,950 --> 00:32:12,289
thing in my notes about this movie is

833
00:32:12,910 --> 00:32:15,089
this is a great intro to street fighter.

834
00:32:15,950 --> 00:32:18,029
Like, it's panning through, and you see all

835
00:32:18,029 --> 00:32:20,609
these martial artists in their, like, in their

836
00:32:20,750 --> 00:32:22,690
their native country fighting, preparing,

837
00:32:23,230 --> 00:32:23,730
and

838
00:32:24,404 --> 00:32:26,164
then they're preparing for the tournament. Like, this

839
00:32:26,164 --> 00:32:27,144
is Streetfighter.

840
00:32:28,325 --> 00:32:29,525
The only way it would have been Mortal

841
00:32:29,525 --> 00:32:31,384
Kombat is if it was in another world.

842
00:32:31,525 --> 00:32:33,684
Right. Well and I think that's I think

843
00:32:33,684 --> 00:32:35,940
that's the thing. Like, despite the fact that

844
00:32:36,259 --> 00:32:37,480
this movie was

845
00:32:37,859 --> 00:32:38,679
not good,

846
00:32:41,299 --> 00:32:41,960
I think

847
00:32:42,419 --> 00:32:43,639
it it was very unique

848
00:32:44,179 --> 00:32:47,139
for its time just because it was an

849
00:32:47,139 --> 00:32:49,845
all like, you you gotta understand at the

850
00:32:49,845 --> 00:32:52,025
time, MMA wasn't a thing.

851
00:32:52,725 --> 00:32:55,045
You know, like, if you wanted if you

852
00:32:55,045 --> 00:32:55,545
wanted

853
00:32:56,484 --> 00:32:57,945
to see people

854
00:32:58,325 --> 00:32:58,825
doing

855
00:32:59,445 --> 00:33:02,644
having some kind of combat sports, you're gonna

856
00:33:02,644 --> 00:33:03,465
watch boxing,

857
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,179
you're gonna watch wrestling,

858
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,679
or go to a karate tournament that is

859
00:33:08,679 --> 00:33:09,179
heavily

860
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:09,980
legislated.

861
00:33:10,759 --> 00:33:11,259
Right.

862
00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:15,799
And usually and it's not mixed martial arts.

863
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:18,595
It's one specific martial art only. And so

864
00:33:18,674 --> 00:33:20,835
Right. It's you're not really comparing the martial

865
00:33:20,835 --> 00:33:21,335
arts.

866
00:33:22,674 --> 00:33:24,595
So in the eighties when this movie came

867
00:33:24,595 --> 00:33:26,515
out, you didn't have any of that. And

868
00:33:26,515 --> 00:33:29,255
and I think and I've watched enough documentaries

869
00:33:29,474 --> 00:33:31,634
about the beginning of the UFC and the

870
00:33:31,634 --> 00:33:34,419
beginnings of MMA through the nineties to know

871
00:33:34,419 --> 00:33:38,039
that Bloodsport the movie Bloodsport was kind of

872
00:33:39,779 --> 00:33:40,679
what inspired

873
00:33:41,380 --> 00:33:42,119
the Gracies

874
00:33:42,819 --> 00:33:45,220
and the original owners of the UFC to

875
00:33:45,220 --> 00:33:46,679
have to have the original

876
00:33:49,355 --> 00:33:50,815
ultimate fighting championship.

877
00:33:51,115 --> 00:33:52,815
And and really, it was kind of

878
00:33:53,355 --> 00:33:55,115
a mixture of, hey, wouldn't it be cool

879
00:33:55,115 --> 00:33:57,115
if that was an actual thing on top

880
00:33:57,115 --> 00:33:59,215
of the Gracies who invented

881
00:33:59,914 --> 00:34:01,134
Brazilian jujitsu?

882
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,640
Right. They were kind of,

883
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,200
they were kind of trying to show the

884
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,539
world that, hey, you know what? We're superior.

885
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,760
You know? So it was kind of like

886
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,719
their dojo showing off on top of the

887
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,275
investors be kind of nerding out on cons,

888
00:34:16,434 --> 00:34:18,514
the concepts that are being presented in these

889
00:34:18,514 --> 00:34:19,815
movies with a kumite

890
00:34:20,275 --> 00:34:21,894
or something to that effect.

891
00:34:23,074 --> 00:34:23,574
So

892
00:34:25,394 --> 00:34:27,635
there was a lot of unique ideas in

893
00:34:27,635 --> 00:34:29,734
there that I think sparked the imagination.

894
00:34:30,609 --> 00:34:32,289
Mhmm. And I think it was that

895
00:34:32,769 --> 00:34:34,289
it was the it and that was the

896
00:34:34,289 --> 00:34:36,130
kind of the cool thing about the cinema

897
00:34:36,130 --> 00:34:37,269
in the eighties is

898
00:34:38,690 --> 00:34:40,769
there was a lot that people had to

899
00:34:40,769 --> 00:34:43,269
read into the stories and bring their imagination

900
00:34:43,570 --> 00:34:45,170
to the table a bit to make the

901
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:46,230
movies work.

902
00:34:46,864 --> 00:34:49,444
Whereas we're used to more modern

903
00:34:49,984 --> 00:34:51,125
cinematic sensibilities

904
00:34:52,545 --> 00:34:53,364
in that

905
00:34:57,664 --> 00:34:59,025
you don't have to bring a whole lot

906
00:34:59,025 --> 00:34:59,764
of imagination.

907
00:35:00,065 --> 00:35:02,179
A lot of what you need to see

908
00:35:02,179 --> 00:35:04,179
or think is being spoon fed to you

909
00:35:04,179 --> 00:35:06,420
by what's being presented on the screen. You

910
00:35:06,420 --> 00:35:07,639
know what I mean? Yeah.

911
00:35:08,659 --> 00:35:10,440
So I did a quick little Google search.

912
00:35:10,659 --> 00:35:11,159
And

913
00:35:11,539 --> 00:35:12,599
interesting fact,

914
00:35:15,414 --> 00:35:16,954
talk about just how

915
00:35:17,335 --> 00:35:18,714
big it was in the '80s.

916
00:35:19,574 --> 00:35:21,275
This came out in 1988.

917
00:35:22,295 --> 00:35:24,454
And we know the martial arts boom ending

918
00:35:24,454 --> 00:35:26,554
probably about 91, 92,

919
00:35:27,255 --> 00:35:28,769
maybe? Maybe in

920
00:35:29,550 --> 00:35:30,050
93.

921
00:35:30,829 --> 00:35:32,590
It it it started to fizzle out in

922
00:35:32,590 --> 00:35:34,750
the yeah. Around around that time period. I

923
00:35:34,750 --> 00:35:35,250
mean,

924
00:35:36,110 --> 00:35:38,110
really how these fads happen is they start

925
00:35:38,110 --> 00:35:40,110
with the adults and they they kinda start

926
00:35:40,110 --> 00:35:41,809
to push down towards the kids.

927
00:35:42,114 --> 00:35:43,795
And as the kid as the kids grab

928
00:35:43,795 --> 00:35:46,355
onto it, the adults let go. So during

929
00:35:46,355 --> 00:35:48,275
that during the early nineties, it was more

930
00:35:48,275 --> 00:35:51,175
being pushed down to, like, surf ninjas and

931
00:35:51,555 --> 00:35:53,394
Hey. That's a fantastic movie. It is a

932
00:35:53,394 --> 00:35:56,614
fantastic yo. Yo. Ernie Ernie Ernie Reyes.

will be the DJ academics to your Drake.

944
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,519
So anyways Anyways, sorry. I'd I'd I'd what

945
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:30,839
happened? I lost consciousness. We were just talking

946
00:36:30,839 --> 00:36:33,719
about Akumatay and Right. Well, we're talking about

947
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,239
how, like, this whole thing like, it was

948
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,000
just a portion of our our psyche and

949
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,855
everything like that. The what I from my

950
00:36:39,855 --> 00:36:41,454
quick research, it looks like the first,

951
00:36:42,015 --> 00:36:44,035
really American martial arts film.

952
00:36:44,574 --> 00:36:46,655
And I I'm gonna separate that from traditional

953
00:36:46,655 --> 00:36:48,894
martial arts films from the greats of, like,

954
00:36:48,894 --> 00:36:50,815
Bruce Lee and all that Okay. Was a

955
00:36:50,815 --> 00:36:51,715
movie called,

956
00:36:52,494 --> 00:36:53,795
Enter the Ninja,

957
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,700
which came out in

958
00:36:57,720 --> 00:36:58,220
1981.

959
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,140
And, it appears to be, like, the first

960
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:04,599
American Ninja movie. And then on the back

961
00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:06,164
end of it also not back end of

962
00:37:06,164 --> 00:37:07,525
it. There was a movie there's a video

963
00:37:07,525 --> 00:37:10,085
game called Karate Champ, which we see featured

964
00:37:10,085 --> 00:37:11,304
in this game. Yes.

965
00:37:12,164 --> 00:37:12,824
And so,

966
00:37:14,405 --> 00:37:16,324
all these elements again, we we're going, man,

967
00:37:16,324 --> 00:37:17,844
this is a great Streetfighter game. But, like,

968
00:37:17,844 --> 00:37:19,125
these are all elements that were just kind

969
00:37:19,125 --> 00:37:20,730
of leading into the era of Streetfighter, which

970
00:37:20,809 --> 00:37:23,210
Street Fighter itself, I I I think that

971
00:37:23,210 --> 00:37:25,089
it did influence us to a degree Mhmm.

972
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:27,469
Because Street Fighter came out August 12,

973
00:37:28,010 --> 00:37:28,510
1987.

974
00:37:29,210 --> 00:37:29,710
Nice.

975
00:37:31,849 --> 00:37:32,989
Very well could be.

976
00:37:33,684 --> 00:37:36,005
Now, as I say influences, it influenced Frank

977
00:37:36,005 --> 00:37:36,984
Duke's storytelling.

978
00:37:37,444 --> 00:37:40,085
Yes. That we made a movie based off

979
00:37:40,085 --> 00:37:40,585
of.

980
00:37:40,964 --> 00:37:41,464
Yes.

981
00:37:42,724 --> 00:37:43,464
Fair enough.

982
00:37:46,404 --> 00:37:47,704
So I don't know.

983
00:37:48,164 --> 00:37:48,914
I think

984
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:51,739
I mean, really,

985
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,440
I think in it with this movie, we're

986
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,500
in the same situation

987
00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:57,640
that we were in for Best of the

988
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,460
Best where

989
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:00,699
there really wasn't

990
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,780
much of a story

991
00:38:04,204 --> 00:38:07,005
to it. It was a confusing story. Like,

992
00:38:07,005 --> 00:38:08,445
I was, like, I was I was so

993
00:38:08,445 --> 00:38:09,585
confused to why

994
00:38:10,364 --> 00:38:12,045
they didn't want him to go. Like, why

995
00:38:12,045 --> 00:38:14,204
is a young force Whitaker after him? First

996
00:38:14,204 --> 00:38:15,804
off, the force Whitaker is after you. You've

997
00:38:15,804 --> 00:38:17,485
done something wrong, but I don't know what

998
00:38:17,485 --> 00:38:18,385
he did wrong.

999
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,320
Was he was he with AWOL? And then

1000
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,000
why was it just 2 cops who were

1001
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,980
all of a sudden

1002
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,599
very chill? Like, oh, okay. Cool. Well, let's

1003
00:38:25,599 --> 00:38:28,420
have a little roundabout here. Mhmm.

1004
00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:30,340
I don't know.

1005
00:38:31,065 --> 00:38:33,625
And, bro, like, Forest Whitaker is such a

1006
00:38:33,625 --> 00:38:36,105
chill, bro, to begin with. Like, if you've

1007
00:38:36,105 --> 00:38:38,824
done something to get Forest Whitaker to go

1008
00:38:38,824 --> 00:38:40,684
agro on you, man, you

1009
00:38:41,704 --> 00:38:43,920
you deserve to lose. I like I know.

1010
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,079
Right? Like, it like, there's people, like, I

1011
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:47,940
look at. I'm like, I bet they're really

1012
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:50,480
super cool to hang out with. Not not

1013
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,719
like just spaz out and go fanboy on,

1014
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,719
but just, like, hang out in their house

1015
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,199
and watch MTV and crack jokes. You know

1016
00:38:57,199 --> 00:38:59,804
what I'm talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like,

1017
00:38:59,804 --> 00:39:02,704
I'd watch Yo! MTV Raps with Forest Whitaker.

1018
00:39:05,005 --> 00:39:07,244
Is is Yo! MTV rap still is still

1019
00:39:07,244 --> 00:39:09,485
a thing? Like I don't know. Isn't TV

1020
00:39:09,485 --> 00:39:11,485
still a thing? Well, I think they changed

1021
00:39:11,485 --> 00:39:13,505
it from music television to mediocre.

1022
00:39:15,349 --> 00:39:17,050
That was back in the 2000.

1023
00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:20,250
Oh my gosh.

1024
00:39:20,949 --> 00:39:21,690
But anyways,

1025
00:39:22,710 --> 00:39:24,309
but yeah. Like I said, like, the the

1026
00:39:24,309 --> 00:39:24,809
storytelling,

1027
00:39:25,110 --> 00:39:26,809
it was confusing. It's like,

1028
00:39:27,234 --> 00:39:29,554
why were we chasing him? Why was he

1029
00:39:29,795 --> 00:39:31,574
and, like, the whole thing about the Kumite

1030
00:39:31,635 --> 00:39:33,574
itself was so far fetched.

1031
00:39:34,195 --> 00:39:34,695
And

1032
00:39:35,954 --> 00:39:37,554
just and it was like it was all

1033
00:39:37,554 --> 00:39:39,635
like nobody knows about it, but we all

1034
00:39:39,635 --> 00:39:40,679
know about it.

1035
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:41,659
Like,

1036
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,260
it's a top secret.

1037
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,839
It's a top secret illegal kung fu fight

1038
00:39:46,839 --> 00:39:49,159
that everybody knows about, and there's a news

1039
00:39:49,159 --> 00:39:51,480
article. And the police only stop Frank Dukes

1040
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,579
about it because he's a he's an American.

1041
00:39:55,905 --> 00:39:58,224
So it just and and we're we're using

1042
00:39:58,224 --> 00:40:00,545
American with quotation marks. Let's just be real

1043
00:40:00,545 --> 00:40:01,285
about that.

1044
00:40:02,065 --> 00:40:02,565
Facts.

1045
00:40:03,505 --> 00:40:05,664
And I think I believe it was in

1046
00:40:05,664 --> 00:40:08,659
this movie where we heard the classic 1980

1047
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,880
phrase. You can't do this to me. I'm

1048
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,619
an American.

1049
00:40:12,159 --> 00:40:12,659
Yeah.

1050
00:40:14,639 --> 00:40:15,699
Oh my gosh.

1051
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,079
And I got a question. Everyone had their

1052
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:20,820
own martial arts style for the movie.

1053
00:40:21,454 --> 00:40:23,775
What was Jackson's martial arts? Was it was

1054
00:40:23,775 --> 00:40:26,175
it was it you? Was it wrestling? Was

1055
00:40:26,175 --> 00:40:27,795
it supposed to be WWE?

1056
00:40:28,414 --> 00:40:30,735
It's it's the American version of,

1057
00:40:31,215 --> 00:40:32,515
of drunken master.

1058
00:40:34,735 --> 00:40:35,219
It's

1059
00:40:35,619 --> 00:40:37,139
it's called I was so confused by this

1060
00:40:37,139 --> 00:40:40,500
character. It's called Ultimate Trailer Park. Oh, like,

1061
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:42,260
how did he get there? Like, they made

1062
00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:44,420
a big deal about Jean Claude's because you

1063
00:40:44,420 --> 00:40:45,480
had to be invited

1064
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:48,500
to be present there. Right? That was a

1065
00:40:48,500 --> 00:40:49,320
whole thing.

1066
00:40:50,074 --> 00:40:52,494
Maybe maybe the fighters are invited

1067
00:40:52,795 --> 00:40:53,295
by,

1068
00:40:54,635 --> 00:40:57,114
the predators. Like, they know who are the

1069
00:40:57,114 --> 00:40:58,094
dangerous people.

1070
00:40:58,554 --> 00:41:00,635
You know what I mean? Like, they just

1071
00:41:00,635 --> 00:41:01,994
kinda like weed them out so we know

1072
00:41:01,994 --> 00:41:04,719
who the target. I mean, honestly, like, they

1073
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,759
they knew something about Homeboy in that third

1074
00:41:07,759 --> 00:41:08,739
Predator movie.

1075
00:41:09,279 --> 00:41:11,679
Right. The guy from That 70 Show. I

1076
00:41:11,679 --> 00:41:13,440
can't remember his name all of a sudden,

1077
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,799
but you know what I'm talking about. I

1078
00:41:14,799 --> 00:41:17,215
gotcha. Like, the whole entire time, he's, like,

1079
00:41:17,215 --> 00:41:18,494
the gentle guy, and then all of a

1080
00:41:18,494 --> 00:41:20,255
sudden, he pulls out the scalpel. He's like,

1081
00:41:20,255 --> 00:41:22,894
oh, Homeboy's a serial killer. I just spoiled

1082
00:41:22,894 --> 00:41:24,434
that movie for you. I'm sorry.

1083
00:41:25,295 --> 00:41:27,054
But, you know, it's been out for over

1084
00:41:27,054 --> 00:41:28,835
a decade, sucking the buttercup.

1085
00:41:29,409 --> 00:41:31,809
But, like, the invitation process, legitimately, it was

1086
00:41:31,809 --> 00:41:34,050
so weird. It's like like, where did the

1087
00:41:34,050 --> 00:41:36,389
invitation come from? It's not like the brother,

1088
00:41:36,449 --> 00:41:37,730
the the kid had them to They don't

1089
00:41:37,730 --> 00:41:39,809
explain it. They don't explain it, like, at

1090
00:41:39,809 --> 00:41:41,190
all. Like Right.

1091
00:41:42,335 --> 00:41:43,135
And and they're like

1092
00:41:43,934 --> 00:41:45,454
and, of course, for those of you out

1093
00:41:45,454 --> 00:41:48,655
there who are into, like, again, reading about

1094
00:41:48,655 --> 00:41:49,155
this,

1095
00:41:50,574 --> 00:41:52,194
fake martial arts stuff,

1096
00:41:55,420 --> 00:41:57,519
The the fact that they they had to

1097
00:41:57,900 --> 00:41:59,840
just talk about the dimmock

1098
00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:02,380
once just to throw it out there, like,

1099
00:42:02,380 --> 00:42:04,380
hey. Hey. Be sure to talk about the

1100
00:42:04,380 --> 00:42:07,360
dimmock so people know what the dimmock is.

1101
00:42:07,925 --> 00:42:09,844
I mean, it was it was totally the

1102
00:42:09,844 --> 00:42:10,344
anti,

1103
00:42:11,525 --> 00:42:13,764
what's it, shotgun. I can't remember the dude's

1104
00:42:13,764 --> 00:42:15,065
name. The but it's

1105
00:42:15,525 --> 00:42:18,264
the writing theory that if a shotgun's introduced

1106
00:42:18,405 --> 00:42:19,925
in the first act of a play, it

1107
00:42:19,925 --> 00:42:22,170
needs to be fired before the 3rd act.

1108
00:42:22,329 --> 00:42:24,889
Yeah. Is over. It's I thought this was

1109
00:42:24,889 --> 00:42:26,089
the same sort of thing. Like, if you

1110
00:42:26,089 --> 00:42:27,929
mentioned the dim mock at the beginning, it

1111
00:42:27,929 --> 00:42:29,929
needs to be used somewhere else. And then

1112
00:42:29,929 --> 00:42:31,630
when you use it, it does nothing

1113
00:42:31,929 --> 00:42:32,750
in a fight.

1114
00:42:33,849 --> 00:42:35,530
Like Did you did you see that? He

1115
00:42:35,530 --> 00:42:37,449
used it in a fight, and it did

1116
00:42:37,449 --> 00:42:37,815
nothing.

1117
00:42:39,014 --> 00:42:40,635
Thing. Right? Not, you

1118
00:42:41,094 --> 00:42:43,094
know, and his face is all, like, consorted

1119
00:42:43,094 --> 00:42:44,855
and everything like that. And then the guy's

1120
00:42:44,855 --> 00:42:45,594
just like,

1121
00:42:46,375 --> 00:42:47,514
my belly rippled.

1122
00:42:48,775 --> 00:42:49,675
You know what? The

1123
00:42:50,559 --> 00:42:51,199
you know you know what the best part

1124
00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:53,280
Oh, normally. You know what the best part

1125
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,260
about that is?

1126
00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:57,699
Is that it completely mocks Frank Dukes.

1127
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,920
And the reason the reason is is because

1128
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:02,900
the dim mock

1129
00:43:03,525 --> 00:43:04,905
that is advertised,

1130
00:43:05,284 --> 00:43:06,505
that count Dante

1131
00:43:06,885 --> 00:43:09,525
originally first made up and Frank Dukes ran

1132
00:43:09,525 --> 00:43:10,025
with,

1133
00:43:10,484 --> 00:43:10,984
was

1134
00:43:11,924 --> 00:43:14,484
was supposed to be a death touch that

1135
00:43:14,484 --> 00:43:16,804
was just a series of pressure points that

1136
00:43:16,804 --> 00:43:18,210
you hit that it was like the 5

1137
00:43:18,210 --> 00:43:20,630
finger palm of death from Killamore, basically.

1138
00:43:22,130 --> 00:43:23,190
The death touch

1139
00:43:24,369 --> 00:43:24,869
scene

1140
00:43:25,250 --> 00:43:27,730
in Batman the animated series was more intense

1141
00:43:27,730 --> 00:43:29,650
than this. But the point the point I'm

1142
00:43:29,650 --> 00:43:31,329
making though is the fact that the guy

1143
00:43:31,329 --> 00:43:33,875
was just like, ow, instead of, like, I'm

1144
00:43:33,875 --> 00:43:36,355
dead. Just Right. Bro, it was was just

1145
00:43:36,355 --> 00:43:38,275
kinda like a subtle, hey, Frank Dukes is

1146
00:43:38,275 --> 00:43:40,034
full of crap. Like, I was sitting there

1147
00:43:40,034 --> 00:43:41,795
waiting. I was like, okay. Is his, like,

1148
00:43:41,795 --> 00:43:43,394
is his bladder gonna explode all of a

1149
00:43:43,394 --> 00:43:44,675
sudden like that? Like, I was waiting for

1150
00:43:44,675 --> 00:43:46,614
it to happen, and I was like,

1151
00:43:47,139 --> 00:43:48,519
okay. We're doing nothing.

1152
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:49,800
Okay. Cool.

1153
00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:53,480
Oh my gosh.

1154
00:43:55,940 --> 00:43:57,719
Why did we need a Kumite song?

1155
00:43:59,904 --> 00:44:01,824
You know, I think musician. Why do we

1156
00:44:01,824 --> 00:44:02,484
need that?

1157
00:44:03,184 --> 00:44:04,964
You know? Okay. So

1158
00:44:06,944 --> 00:44:08,724
these types of movies, these

1159
00:44:09,105 --> 00:44:12,704
these martial arts or combat sports tournament style

1160
00:44:12,704 --> 00:44:13,204
movies,

1161
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,820
they all need to

1162
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,280
for some reason in the eighties, these types

1163
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,840
of movies needed to have a soundtrack that

1164
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,300
was full of power ballads

1165
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,300
and full of training montage music.

1166
00:44:27,715 --> 00:44:30,835
And if they were in most cases, it

1167
00:44:30,835 --> 00:44:34,675
was all just studio musicians that were writing

1168
00:44:34,675 --> 00:44:37,635
music that was tailored specifically for this movie.

1169
00:44:37,635 --> 00:44:39,954
And you're gonna see it happen again in

1170
00:44:39,954 --> 00:44:42,240
Kickboxer. Or you're gonna notice that the music

1171
00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:43,440
is very similar

1172
00:44:43,740 --> 00:44:45,039
across both movies.

1173
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:47,599
It it literally sounds like Peter Cetera,

1174
00:44:48,780 --> 00:44:49,280
from

1175
00:44:49,900 --> 00:44:51,039
from Chicago

1176
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:54,160
is singing over a hair metal band about,

1177
00:44:54,460 --> 00:44:56,255
you were born a fighter.

1178
00:44:56,875 --> 00:44:59,295
You were born to rise to the top.

1179
00:45:00,074 --> 00:45:02,734
Nobody else can stop you.

1180
00:45:03,434 --> 00:45:04,974
You've gotta show them

1181
00:45:05,594 --> 00:45:07,375
you can't be stopped.

1182
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,840
So is this, like, a thing for you?

1183
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:11,659
Like, this genre?

1184
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:13,900
No. It's just I have

1185
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,260
clear memories.

1186
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,159
I'm just curious if this is something that,

1187
00:45:17,159 --> 00:45:18,619
like, just inspires you.

1188
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,840
You know, this is what fueled me back

1189
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,219
in the day because, like,

1190
00:45:22,724 --> 00:45:24,585
eighties cinema was 100%

1191
00:45:25,204 --> 00:45:25,865
a matter

1192
00:45:27,684 --> 00:45:29,305
of style over substance.

1193
00:45:30,164 --> 00:45:32,244
Yeah. And I think I think that's what

1194
00:45:32,244 --> 00:45:34,724
I'm I'm missing that mindset from this movie.

1195
00:45:34,724 --> 00:45:36,085
And that's the reason why it feels like

1196
00:45:36,085 --> 00:45:38,380
my childhood is a lie is because I

1197
00:45:38,380 --> 00:45:41,099
was in that style over substance mindset in

1198
00:45:41,099 --> 00:45:43,360
the eighties because it was the eighties.

1199
00:45:43,739 --> 00:45:46,699
Right. And now that we've grown past that

1200
00:45:46,699 --> 00:45:47,599
as a society,

1201
00:45:48,619 --> 00:45:51,099
it feels so outdated to go try to

1202
00:45:51,099 --> 00:45:52,559
get back into that mindset.

1203
00:45:54,175 --> 00:45:55,614
If you if you if you look at

1204
00:45:55,614 --> 00:45:56,835
any kind of documentary

1205
00:45:57,214 --> 00:45:59,855
about the eighties, it's often referred to as

1206
00:45:59,855 --> 00:46:01,855
the me decade because it was a very

1207
00:46:01,855 --> 00:46:04,175
self centered decade. It was all about style

1208
00:46:04,175 --> 00:46:06,194
and panache and how can I be flashy

1209
00:46:06,255 --> 00:46:07,474
and be cool? Right.

1210
00:46:08,130 --> 00:46:10,529
And so that's what a lot of media

1211
00:46:10,529 --> 00:46:11,510
centered around.

1212
00:46:12,609 --> 00:46:13,750
So It's fair.

1213
00:46:14,130 --> 00:46:15,809
So and I I think that's where the

1214
00:46:15,809 --> 00:46:17,809
disconnect is in this because we've already talked

1215
00:46:17,809 --> 00:46:19,190
about the entire movie.

1216
00:46:19,569 --> 00:46:20,069
Yeah.

1217
00:46:20,449 --> 00:46:22,114
There's there's a tournament.

1218
00:46:23,054 --> 00:46:24,034
There's a tournament.

1219
00:46:24,414 --> 00:46:27,215
Jean Claude Van Damme goes into it. There's

1220
00:46:27,215 --> 00:46:29,135
a bad guy or a big boss man

1221
00:46:29,135 --> 00:46:30,815
at the end of the tournament that he

1222
00:46:30,815 --> 00:46:33,155
needs to beat. He does. He wins. America's

1223
00:46:33,295 --> 00:46:35,394
great. It's the eighties. Yea Reagan.

1224
00:46:38,670 --> 00:46:41,010
Yep. Am I right? Yep. That's it.

1225
00:46:41,789 --> 00:46:42,670
And everything

1226
00:46:43,309 --> 00:46:45,410
I don't know. Again, the storyteller's weird.

1227
00:46:46,030 --> 00:46:47,949
It's not weird. It's just there isn't a

1228
00:46:47,949 --> 00:46:48,449
story.

1229
00:46:48,984 --> 00:46:49,484
I

1230
00:46:49,864 --> 00:46:51,804
like, just everything of it. Like, the

1231
00:46:52,425 --> 00:46:54,025
and, like, there are so many ridiculous parts.

1232
00:46:54,025 --> 00:46:55,385
Like, when he's in the court like, he's

1233
00:46:55,385 --> 00:46:57,464
in the alleyway, and they pull up the

1234
00:46:57,464 --> 00:46:57,964
tasers.

1235
00:46:58,344 --> 00:47:00,664
And he's like, let me materialize a trash

1236
00:47:00,664 --> 00:47:03,304
can lid and ricochet it and and tase

1237
00:47:03,304 --> 00:47:03,804
out

1238
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,099
these foreign police officers,

1239
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,160
which should, by the way, in in his

1240
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,160
butt up in a in a jail somewhere.

1241
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:10,980
Oh, 100%.

1242
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:11,940
100%.

1243
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,680
Which would have been a better movie. And

1244
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,920
then like, she's like, no, don't fight. And

1245
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,264
then she's like, go fight. You got this.

1246
00:47:20,264 --> 00:47:22,764
Like, she was, like, complete, like, reversal everything.

1247
00:47:22,824 --> 00:47:23,324
Like,

1248
00:47:26,505 --> 00:47:28,284
my childhood is a lie, Dallas.

1249
00:47:28,744 --> 00:47:29,405
It happens.

1250
00:47:31,065 --> 00:47:31,964
Alright. So,

1251
00:47:32,409 --> 00:47:34,030
I mean Should we rate it?

1252
00:47:34,409 --> 00:47:36,409
Yeah, dude. I like this. I think we

1253
00:47:36,409 --> 00:47:38,090
ran into the same problem with Best of

1254
00:47:38,090 --> 00:47:40,010
the Best where we just start we started

1255
00:47:40,010 --> 00:47:42,489
talking about concepts that we thought about during

1256
00:47:42,489 --> 00:47:44,489
the movie because there wasn't a story to

1257
00:47:44,489 --> 00:47:45,550
keep us occupied.

1258
00:47:45,994 --> 00:47:47,835
I'm gonna point this out here. I was

1259
00:47:47,835 --> 00:47:49,594
reading the back of the box, and you

1260
00:47:49,594 --> 00:47:51,114
and I went on a tangent in the

1261
00:47:51,114 --> 00:47:52,894
middle of me reading the back of the

1262
00:47:53,914 --> 00:47:56,155
box about other things. And that's basically we've

1263
00:47:56,155 --> 00:47:58,474
done this entire podcast is we're talking about

1264
00:47:58,474 --> 00:47:59,215
this movie,

1265
00:47:59,619 --> 00:48:00,359
but we're

1266
00:48:00,659 --> 00:48:02,440
not. Right. We're talking

1267
00:48:03,300 --> 00:48:05,300
when we say we're talking about this movie,

1268
00:48:05,300 --> 00:48:08,119
we're talking about it like you walk about

1269
00:48:08,579 --> 00:48:09,239
a forest.

1270
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:12,359
We're talking around it.

1271
00:48:13,905 --> 00:48:15,664
It's like nobody wants to touch it. It's

1272
00:48:15,664 --> 00:48:17,285
like, oh, there's a thing right there.

1273
00:48:17,664 --> 00:48:18,885
Oh, don't pick it up.

1274
00:48:20,704 --> 00:48:22,304
What kind of poop is this? Alien poop.

1275
00:48:22,304 --> 00:48:24,065
What? No. Don't touch it. You don't know

1276
00:48:24,065 --> 00:48:24,885
where it's been.

1277
00:48:25,824 --> 00:48:28,489
Alright. Well, let's get into our rating system.

1278
00:48:28,630 --> 00:48:30,090
If you're new to our show,

1279
00:48:31,110 --> 00:48:31,610
sorry.

1280
00:48:34,469 --> 00:48:36,949
Because some of you genuinely clicked on it

1281
00:48:36,949 --> 00:48:39,369
going, oh, I love this movie. And,

1282
00:48:40,635 --> 00:48:42,635
Yeah. So here's our ratings. We have a

1283
00:48:42,635 --> 00:48:44,655
4 system to a rating system here,

1284
00:48:45,275 --> 00:48:47,135
top shelf. I need to own this

1285
00:48:47,994 --> 00:48:50,715
middle shelf. Maybe if it's streaming, I'll watch

1286
00:48:50,715 --> 00:48:53,835
it bottom shelf. I probably will never watch

1287
00:48:53,835 --> 00:48:54,735
this again.

1288
00:48:55,099 --> 00:48:58,059
And then dumpster fire. I will actively try

1289
00:48:58,059 --> 00:49:00,219
to keep people from watching this movie. We

1290
00:49:00,219 --> 00:49:02,539
are erasing it from history. And to our

1291
00:49:02,539 --> 00:49:04,940
knowledge, no movie has ever made it into

1292
00:49:04,940 --> 00:49:05,599
the dumpster.

1293
00:49:06,940 --> 00:49:09,820
So, John, since your childhood is smoldering right

1294
00:49:09,820 --> 00:49:10,320
now,

1295
00:49:11,275 --> 00:49:12,655
where are you gonna put this?

1296
00:49:13,355 --> 00:49:13,855
So,

1297
00:49:15,275 --> 00:49:17,675
yeah, this movie isn't a good movie. And

1298
00:49:17,675 --> 00:49:18,414
it's it's

1299
00:49:18,954 --> 00:49:21,054
it's not even as good of a movie

1300
00:49:21,195 --> 00:49:23,135
as I remember it being.

1301
00:49:23,780 --> 00:49:26,099
And for and for people out there who

1302
00:49:26,099 --> 00:49:26,840
were, like,

1303
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:29,400
saying it's the best action movie ever,

1304
00:49:29,780 --> 00:49:31,619
I'm willing to bet that they're probably say

1305
00:49:31,780 --> 00:49:34,340
making that statement based off of memory instead

1306
00:49:34,340 --> 00:49:37,864
of recent exposure. I would say before you

1307
00:49:37,864 --> 00:49:39,784
judge how Dallas and I are about to

1308
00:49:39,784 --> 00:49:41,224
rate this movie, because I have a feeling

1309
00:49:41,224 --> 00:49:42,264
he and I are gonna be on the

1310
00:49:42,264 --> 00:49:43,644
same level with this.

1311
00:49:44,425 --> 00:49:46,264
So before you get upset about it, do

1312
00:49:46,264 --> 00:49:47,005
me a favor.

1313
00:49:47,944 --> 00:49:50,764
Before you start sending any angry tweets

1314
00:49:51,230 --> 00:49:52,369
and angry

1315
00:49:52,829 --> 00:49:53,329
messages

1316
00:49:53,630 --> 00:49:54,289
or whatnot,

1317
00:49:56,269 --> 00:49:58,269
go watch the movie again. It's for free

1318
00:49:58,269 --> 00:50:00,109
on it's for free on Tubi. Go watch

1319
00:50:00,109 --> 00:50:02,269
that movie again, and then come back and

1320
00:50:02,269 --> 00:50:04,364
then tell me if tell me tell us

1321
00:50:04,364 --> 00:50:06,525
if our ratings are correct after you've watched

1322
00:50:06,525 --> 00:50:07,184
this movie

1323
00:50:08,204 --> 00:50:08,704
recently.

1324
00:50:09,485 --> 00:50:09,985
Right.

1325
00:50:10,605 --> 00:50:12,445
And if you disagree with us, by all

1326
00:50:12,445 --> 00:50:14,625
mean after you do that, by all means,

1327
00:50:15,005 --> 00:50:16,969
send us that message. I would be more

1328
00:50:16,969 --> 00:50:19,369
than happy to talk to talk about your

1329
00:50:19,369 --> 00:50:21,929
message on the air, and we would discuss

1330
00:50:21,929 --> 00:50:24,010
that happily. I'll create a new bumper for

1331
00:50:24,010 --> 00:50:26,510
a mailbag section for that for those comments.

1332
00:50:28,089 --> 00:50:31,125
Like, I I I welcome that smoke as

1333
00:50:31,125 --> 00:50:32,184
long as you're

1334
00:50:32,565 --> 00:50:34,905
willing to sit down and watch this travesty

1335
00:50:35,045 --> 00:50:35,545
again.

1336
00:50:35,925 --> 00:50:38,664
So That's fair. With with that being said,

1337
00:50:39,445 --> 00:50:41,550
this movie is a bad movie, but I

1338
00:50:41,550 --> 00:50:42,849
don't hate this movie.

1339
00:50:43,309 --> 00:50:44,769
This is an entertaining

1340
00:50:45,630 --> 00:50:46,530
bad movie

1341
00:50:47,230 --> 00:50:47,730
because

1342
00:50:48,190 --> 00:50:50,289
it is bad in a way that entertains

1343
00:50:50,430 --> 00:50:51,250
me because

1344
00:50:51,789 --> 00:50:54,610
does that make sense? Yeah. It's sort of

1345
00:50:54,750 --> 00:50:56,050
it's sort of that

1346
00:51:00,105 --> 00:51:00,605
crawl.

1347
00:51:01,785 --> 00:51:02,285
Yeah.

1348
00:51:03,065 --> 00:51:03,805
Sort of

1349
00:51:05,385 --> 00:51:08,125
bad where, yeah, it's not good.

1350
00:51:09,549 --> 00:51:11,789
But it's not I wanna turn it off

1351
00:51:11,789 --> 00:51:12,849
either. So

1352
00:51:13,230 --> 00:51:15,150
with with that being said, it didn't live

1353
00:51:15,150 --> 00:51:16,130
up to my

1354
00:51:16,829 --> 00:51:18,849
my nostalgic memories. However,

1355
00:51:19,789 --> 00:51:21,170
this movie was important.

1356
00:51:22,464 --> 00:51:24,224
It inspired a lot of things that I

1357
00:51:24,224 --> 00:51:24,724
enjoy

1358
00:51:25,105 --> 00:51:25,605
today.

1359
00:51:29,105 --> 00:51:31,184
I don't think Jean Claude Van Damme can

1360
00:51:31,184 --> 00:51:32,784
act his way out of a paper bag.

1361
00:51:32,784 --> 00:51:34,809
And I think he would. And I think,

1362
00:51:34,809 --> 00:51:37,289
like, if given the command to play dead,

1363
00:51:37,289 --> 00:51:39,449
he would still have issues with it and

1364
00:51:39,449 --> 00:51:41,369
making it believable, and all you have to

1365
00:51:41,369 --> 00:51:42,650
do is lay on the ground with your

1366
00:51:42,650 --> 00:51:43,389
eyes closed.

1367
00:51:47,474 --> 00:51:49,394
So that being said, I'm gonna give it

1368
00:51:49,394 --> 00:51:51,974
a super low middle shelf.

1369
00:51:53,154 --> 00:51:55,474
Like, if it's if it's on streaming, I've

1370
00:51:55,474 --> 00:51:57,795
got nothing to do, and my wife isn't

1371
00:51:57,795 --> 00:52:00,275
home, and I've I don't really feel like

1372
00:52:00,275 --> 00:52:01,494
playing video games,

1373
00:52:02,030 --> 00:52:04,369
and I'm caught up on Ultimate Fighter.

1374
00:52:05,150 --> 00:52:05,650
And

1375
00:52:06,510 --> 00:52:08,449
I'm caught up on my backlog,

1376
00:52:09,630 --> 00:52:10,130
and

1377
00:52:10,429 --> 00:52:12,130
I'm caught up on my Audible,

1378
00:52:13,070 --> 00:52:13,570
and

1379
00:52:14,815 --> 00:52:16,894
I'm caught up on my books, and I

1380
00:52:16,894 --> 00:52:19,054
don't have any podcasts that I have to

1381
00:52:19,054 --> 00:52:21,215
edit, and I don't have any prep I

1382
00:52:21,215 --> 00:52:22,515
have to do for,

1383
00:52:23,614 --> 00:52:24,914
playing games with strangers,

1384
00:52:25,295 --> 00:52:26,994
and I don't have

1385
00:52:27,659 --> 00:52:30,159
to do any of my Japanese,

1386
00:52:31,260 --> 00:52:33,839
or I don't have to do any any

1387
00:52:33,900 --> 00:52:35,119
continuing education

1388
00:52:35,420 --> 00:52:38,780
for my certification for work 1 hour later.

1389
00:52:38,859 --> 00:52:39,839
Then I might consider,

1390
00:52:40,539 --> 00:52:42,444
watching it again. And you I've lost track.

1391
00:52:42,444 --> 00:52:44,444
Did you say middle shelf or not? I

1392
00:52:44,444 --> 00:52:46,364
I said middle. I said a very low

1393
00:52:46,364 --> 00:52:47,184
middle shelf.

1394
00:52:49,724 --> 00:52:50,224
Alright.

1395
00:52:51,484 --> 00:52:52,385
Good, too.

1396
00:52:53,164 --> 00:52:54,284
Alright. So

1397
00:52:55,359 --> 00:52:57,199
alright. So middle shelf for you. So for

1398
00:52:57,199 --> 00:52:58,500
me, ladies and gentlemen,

1399
00:52:59,519 --> 00:53:01,460
Ralph's Johnson, it's not a good movie

1400
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:02,739
at all.

1401
00:53:03,679 --> 00:53:05,219
It is it is

1402
00:53:05,519 --> 00:53:06,019
terrible.

1403
00:53:08,795 --> 00:53:10,255
But I had fun watching it.

1404
00:53:13,835 --> 00:53:14,494
You guys,

1405
00:53:15,035 --> 00:53:17,434
I'm hoping that this energy that Dallas and

1406
00:53:17,434 --> 00:53:19,614
I have right now is Trent is transmitting

1407
00:53:20,235 --> 00:53:21,695
through the recording because,

1408
00:53:21,994 --> 00:53:24,380
like, this is this this stupid energy should

1409
00:53:24,380 --> 00:53:26,239
be telling you what this movie is.

1410
00:53:27,019 --> 00:53:29,579
This movie is a junk food and fart

1411
00:53:29,579 --> 00:53:31,839
jokes style movie, like 100%.

1412
00:53:33,819 --> 00:53:35,900
Yeah. So for me here at the bottom

1413
00:53:35,900 --> 00:53:36,400
shelf,

1414
00:53:37,734 --> 00:53:39,815
it's a middle shelf film, ladies and gentlemen.

1415
00:53:39,815 --> 00:53:40,554
This movie,

1416
00:53:41,255 --> 00:53:42,714
across the board, just

1417
00:53:44,135 --> 00:53:44,635
mid.

1418
00:53:47,894 --> 00:53:50,280
Like, this is this this movie is like,

1419
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,360
when it comes to action movies, this movie

1420
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,579
is like a mayonnaise on white bread sandwich.

1421
00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,880
Like, I don't I don't hate it. I'm

1422
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:01,640
not gonna be like, god, just kill it

1423
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,285
all. If it's on TV, like and that's

1424
00:54:04,285 --> 00:54:06,285
the thing is, like, Celeste, we're we're watching

1425
00:54:06,285 --> 00:54:07,825
it, and we're going,

1426
00:54:09,005 --> 00:54:11,325
like, we're we're both having vague memories of

1427
00:54:11,325 --> 00:54:12,844
watch, and it helped to watch it on

1428
00:54:12,844 --> 00:54:15,244
Tubi, actually. Because there are commercials on Tubi.

1429
00:54:15,244 --> 00:54:17,609
It felt like watching it on Sunday afternoon

1430
00:54:17,609 --> 00:54:18,909
on TBS. Didn't

1431
00:54:22,170 --> 00:54:24,250
mom's cooking a roast in the background. We're

1432
00:54:24,250 --> 00:54:25,630
just chilling. You

1433
00:54:26,049 --> 00:54:26,549
know,

1434
00:54:26,969 --> 00:54:28,650
we may go up and get eat dinner

1435
00:54:28,650 --> 00:54:30,644
or miss like 30 minutes of it. Not

1436
00:54:30,644 --> 00:54:32,405
know we didn't miss anything. It's a story

1437
00:54:32,405 --> 00:54:34,324
doesn't matter. It just move on with our

1438
00:54:34,324 --> 00:54:34,824
lives.

1439
00:54:37,045 --> 00:54:39,525
So I wanna say this. If you're going

1440
00:54:39,525 --> 00:54:41,445
to watch it, you have to watch it

1441
00:54:41,445 --> 00:54:43,545
on TBS or something with commercials

1442
00:54:44,130 --> 00:54:46,449
to order, to get the true experience of

1443
00:54:46,449 --> 00:54:47,969
this film. If you can get one of

1444
00:54:47,969 --> 00:54:50,449
those novelty candles that has like that make

1445
00:54:50,449 --> 00:54:52,449
it smell like Sunday dinners cooking in the

1446
00:54:52,449 --> 00:54:54,929
background, it will enhance the experience to a

1447
00:54:54,929 --> 00:54:57,829
level you won't even understand. I promise you

1448
00:55:00,164 --> 00:55:02,005
Wear a pair of corduroys while you're at

1449
00:55:02,005 --> 00:55:02,505
it.

1450
00:55:04,005 --> 00:55:06,184
Oh, yeah. The texture of the good ladies

1451
00:55:06,244 --> 00:55:07,065
with you.

1452
00:55:09,444 --> 00:55:10,424
Oh, Jesus.

1453
00:55:10,809 --> 00:55:12,569
Alright. Ladies and gentlemen, we wanna hear from

1454
00:55:12,569 --> 00:55:13,069
you.

1455
00:55:13,849 --> 00:55:15,690
Here here here's the thing here's the thing.

1456
00:55:15,690 --> 00:55:18,190
This movie, you won't have a good time

1457
00:55:18,329 --> 00:55:19,630
watching this movie,

1458
00:55:20,250 --> 00:55:22,329
but you'll have a good time talking about

1459
00:55:22,329 --> 00:55:23,150
it afterwards.

1460
00:55:25,184 --> 00:55:27,204
That's fair. That's definitely fair.

1461
00:55:27,744 --> 00:55:29,925
As so many movies we watch are.

1462
00:55:30,704 --> 00:55:33,345
Oh my gosh. Oh, jeez. Alright. Well, let's

1463
00:55:33,345 --> 00:55:35,025
go ahead and get on over to the

1464
00:55:35,025 --> 00:55:37,605
weak connection area before we die.

1465
00:55:40,380 --> 00:55:42,159
This is a We Connection.

1466
00:55:44,460 --> 00:55:47,339
Welcome to the We Connection portion of our

1467
00:55:47,339 --> 00:55:50,859
podcast where we talk about these movies and

1468
00:55:50,859 --> 00:55:54,125
try to find something redeemable about them. And

1469
00:55:54,125 --> 00:55:56,065
good luck, Dallas, because I've got nothing.

1470
00:55:58,045 --> 00:55:59,885
I got something for you, buddy. So at

1471
00:55:59,885 --> 00:56:01,724
one point, there's a portion where Jean Claude

1472
00:56:01,724 --> 00:56:03,485
Van Damme is talking to the girlfriend of

1473
00:56:03,485 --> 00:56:05,410
the week, and he is,

1474
00:56:05,809 --> 00:56:07,590
working through it's right after,

1475
00:56:09,250 --> 00:56:10,070
the, the wrestler

1476
00:56:11,329 --> 00:56:11,829
is

1477
00:56:13,010 --> 00:56:14,530
in the hospital room,

1478
00:56:15,010 --> 00:56:15,510
injured.

1479
00:56:16,690 --> 00:56:17,190
And

1480
00:56:17,555 --> 00:56:19,235
there she's arguing with him about why he

1481
00:56:19,235 --> 00:56:20,595
needs to go back into this. And he's

1482
00:56:20,595 --> 00:56:21,715
he's talking to her. He's like, look. We

1483
00:56:21,795 --> 00:56:22,835
I have to do it because I I

1484
00:56:22,835 --> 00:56:24,195
need to show that I'm the best at

1485
00:56:24,195 --> 00:56:26,195
what I am. Because, like, you wanna be

1486
00:56:26,195 --> 00:56:28,434
a good reporter. You got this your your

1487
00:56:28,434 --> 00:56:30,329
effort into it because there's something to prove.

1488
00:56:30,570 --> 00:56:32,410
There's something to show I I am doing

1489
00:56:32,410 --> 00:56:34,010
my very best to be the very best.

1490
00:56:34,010 --> 00:56:35,530
And that's kind of a I underline of

1491
00:56:35,530 --> 00:56:37,450
most martial art movies. Right? Where the I

1492
00:56:37,450 --> 00:56:38,989
gotta be the best I can be.

1493
00:56:39,530 --> 00:56:41,070
Even Pokemon did it. So

1494
00:56:42,090 --> 00:56:44,410
but my the whole aspect of just doing

1495
00:56:44,410 --> 00:56:45,150
your best

1496
00:56:45,714 --> 00:56:48,194
in whatever situation you're in, that's something we

1497
00:56:48,194 --> 00:56:48,914
need to do,

1498
00:56:49,315 --> 00:56:51,635
for multiple reasons. 1, it's a sign of

1499
00:56:51,635 --> 00:56:52,934
integrity. 2,

1500
00:56:53,875 --> 00:56:56,375
it's it's something for yourself. But also,

1501
00:56:56,914 --> 00:56:58,614
for for John and I as Christians,

1502
00:56:59,079 --> 00:57:00,920
there's a there's a scripture out there, Colossians

1503
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,920
chapter 3 verse 23. And whatever you do,

1504
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,319
do it heartily as, as to the Lord

1505
00:57:05,319 --> 00:57:06,539
and not to men.

1506
00:57:07,159 --> 00:57:10,760
Our motivation as as Christ followers to do

1507
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:11,659
what we do

1508
00:57:12,005 --> 00:57:12,505
is

1509
00:57:13,045 --> 00:57:15,285
to glorify Christ. And it's in every situation

1510
00:57:15,285 --> 00:57:16,025
of our lives.

1511
00:57:16,565 --> 00:57:18,324
I do the best that I can in

1512
00:57:18,324 --> 00:57:20,805
in the mundane things because it gives glory

1513
00:57:20,805 --> 00:57:22,324
to God. It points back to him. It's

1514
00:57:22,324 --> 00:57:24,179
a reflection of who of who he is.

1515
00:57:24,260 --> 00:57:26,579
In the movie, Jean Claude, he is pushing

1516
00:57:26,579 --> 00:57:28,599
this because it's a reflection of Tanaka.

1517
00:57:29,539 --> 00:57:30,679
He needs to show

1518
00:57:30,980 --> 00:57:32,739
if he doesn't do well, it's a reflection

1519
00:57:32,739 --> 00:57:34,819
on on Tanaka's hard work and what Tanaka

1520
00:57:34,819 --> 00:57:36,980
poured into him. For us, with everything we

1521
00:57:36,980 --> 00:57:38,119
do as Christians,

1522
00:57:38,974 --> 00:57:40,594
if we're not giving our best,

1523
00:57:41,775 --> 00:57:43,775
then it's reflecting back to the Lord in

1524
00:57:43,775 --> 00:57:46,195
a poor way, and that's a poor testament

1525
00:57:46,574 --> 00:57:48,175
of who God is and his grace for

1526
00:57:48,175 --> 00:57:50,675
the world. So that is my weak connection.

1527
00:57:52,750 --> 00:57:53,250
Sweet.

1528
00:57:54,109 --> 00:57:54,609
Alright.

1529
00:57:54,909 --> 00:57:58,269
Well, with all that being said, how about

1530
00:57:58,269 --> 00:58:00,190
you, everybody out there? Do you agree with

1531
00:58:00,190 --> 00:58:02,190
our assessment of this movie? Do you think

1532
00:58:02,190 --> 00:58:04,049
it was better? Do you think it's worse?

1533
00:58:04,474 --> 00:58:06,394
Tell us why. Hit us up on the

1534
00:58:06,394 --> 00:58:07,594
socials in the,

1535
00:58:08,474 --> 00:58:10,494
I think we're on x. We're on,

1536
00:58:11,755 --> 00:58:14,554
the face. We're on we're on Instagram, and

1537
00:58:14,554 --> 00:58:14,954
we're on,

1538
00:58:17,034 --> 00:58:17,534
Facebook.

1539
00:58:17,869 --> 00:58:20,130
Alright. We're on all the meta platforms then.

1540
00:58:20,590 --> 00:58:21,329
And just

1541
00:58:21,710 --> 00:58:24,510
what's that? Discord and YouTube. Oh, yeah. And

1542
00:58:24,510 --> 00:58:25,949
hit us up on the Discord. That's where

1543
00:58:25,949 --> 00:58:28,590
we're that's where I'm mostly active. Sometimes I'll

1544
00:58:28,590 --> 00:58:31,090
pop in over on the Facebase group, but

1545
00:58:31,364 --> 00:58:34,184
really, Discord owns me at this juncture. So,

1546
00:58:34,965 --> 00:58:36,644
go ahead and hit up the hit up

1547
00:58:36,644 --> 00:58:38,585
our Discord and give us a chat.

1548
00:58:40,324 --> 00:58:42,164
And Dallas can verify. I like to play

1549
00:58:42,324 --> 00:58:43,844
I like to pull people out of our

1550
00:58:43,844 --> 00:58:46,244
Discords to do stuff on podcasts with me.

1551
00:58:46,244 --> 00:58:46,744
So,

1552
00:58:47,230 --> 00:58:48,910
if you hang out and get to know

1553
00:58:48,910 --> 00:58:51,010
us, I might tap you to do stuff.

1554
00:58:51,070 --> 00:58:51,570
So

1555
00:58:52,190 --> 00:58:54,510
if that's any incentive, I will buy your

1556
00:58:54,510 --> 00:58:55,010
affection.

1557
00:58:55,950 --> 00:58:56,450
So

1558
00:58:57,950 --> 00:58:59,250
so that being said,

1559
00:59:00,614 --> 00:59:02,614
you got anything you wanna plug, Dallas, before

1560
00:59:02,614 --> 00:59:03,434
