BMFcast 597 – Cage – Of Mice and MMA

Cage (1989) returns Reb Brown and Lou Ferrigno to the show. It’s the story of two Vietnam vets who made it home, but one suffered brain damage saving the other. They now own a bar and get caught up in some very shady business involving cage fights. There’s a lot going on here and a bunch of familiar faces. Let’s hope that gets us to yell about Jox, Reb style!

BMFcast 594 – Sworn to Justice – Business Sexual

Sworn to Justice (1996) has Cynthia Rothrock as a sexy criminal psychologist who witnesses the murder of her sister and nephew and gains psychic powers. She becomes a sexy vigilante who stops crimes while also being sexy multiple times. This is one weird, sexy movie. Is it sexy enough to get multiple Jox? PSA: Stay tuned to the end of this episode for a big announcement!

BMFcast 593 – Red Sun Rising – Death Jab for Cutie

Red Sun Rising (1994) brings us Don “The Dragon” Wilson as a Japanese cop whose partner is killed by an assassin with supernatural powers (James Lew). When the assassin and his boss look to start a gang war in Los Angeles, it’s up to Don to stop them, with the help of Mako, Michael Ironside, and Terry Farrell. Can this movie death punch its way to Jox?

BMFcast 587 – Bloodmoon – CHA-rizz-ma

Bloodmoon (1997) sees Gary Daniels return to the show as a retired detective who is called back into action when a serial killer begins taking out martial arts champions. He teams up with another martial artist detective (Chuck Jeffreys) to track down this steel-fingered killer. Will this follow-up from the director of Superfights (link to prior episode) reach that movie’s insanity?

BMFcast 585 – Royal Warriors – Air Acquaintances

Royal Warriors (1986) aka In The Line of Duty 1 brings Michelle Yeoh to the BMFcast once again. She helps prevent a plane hijacking, which leads to a bizarre revenge plot against her and the other heroes on the flight. From there it’s pretty much an all-out stunt spectacular. Yeah, this movie is giving you what you want. Speaking of giving the people what they want, special guest Chuck returns! Now the only question is how many Jox is this movie receiving?

BMFcast 581 – Breathing Fire – Key-zza

Breathing Fire (1991) is about the eternal struggle between two children and their father over the fate of a plastic pizza that is the mold for a key to a vault which holds the proceeds of the father’s bank robbery. Oscar winner and all-around good dude Ke Huy Quan and Eddie Saavedra then enlist their drunk uncle to help them kick their dad’s ass. Is it good? Well, no. But is it good-bad? Join us and find out!

BMFcast Extra 214 – Kickboxer 2

Kickboxer 2 (1991) might be director Albert Pyun’s most competent movie, and it still doesn’t make a lick of sense. A third Sloan brother appears and Thailand thinks that the way to regain their honor is to trick this kid into a fight.

BMFcast 577 – Tai Chi Master – Pole-tron

Tai-Chi Master (1993) returns Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh to the show, with Jet Li and Siu-Ho Chin along for the ride. Directed by the legendary Woo-Ping Yuen, it’s a wire-fu tale of two young monks who get kicked out of their monastery for being too good at kung fu. They eventually end up on opposing sides of a revolution. The story isn’t the point, though. It’s all about the amazing fight scenes. And we can tell you that these scenes deliver. Is it enough to get the coveted 5-jox award?

BMFcast 572 – Return to Savage Beach – Maximum Strainage

Return to Savage Beach (1998) is our final trip into the Andy Sidaris universe. Julie Strain and the whole gang is back, including lots of guns, nudity, and exploding RC vehicles. Will it bring us back to the glory of past Sidaris movies? Time to take off your champagne outfit, hop in the hot tub and find out!

BMFcast 571 – I’m Gonna Git You Sucka – Blaxploitation-ploitation

I’m Gonna Git You Sucka (1988) is Keenen Ivory Wayans’ ode to blaxploitation, and a fitting way to end this year’s Blaxploitation History Month. It’s packed with jokes, as well as BMFcast alums, with Jim Brown, Bernie Casey, Isaac Hayes and even Steve James making appearances. Do the jokes hit as hard as our favorite heroes? Only one way to find out if we’ve found gold or OG’d on chains.
