BMFcast Extra 207 – Collision Course
Collision Course (1989) pairs Jay Leno and Pat Morita as mismatched buddycops solving a case in Detroit. Much racism, zero laughs and one very insane moment late in the film is the result. Bonus: Harlo explains that he cannot see Jay Leno.

BMFcast563 – The Brain – Typical Canadian Christmas
The Brain (1988) is our second film from director Ed Hunt (Alien Warrior). While not nearly as insane as that film, it does have its own “Uhhh, what the heck is this?” thing going on. Canadian teens are menaced by a giant brain that eats people and wants a popular TV show. And it’s a Christmas movie.

BMFcast Extra 206 – Species II
Species II (1998) is the unnecessary sequel to the 1995 surprise hit, and it doesn’t even bother with that film’s sequel hook. This one has THREE sequel hooks in the end, and we’d wager that Species III doesn’t use any of them either.

BMFcast562 – The Sword and the Sorcerer – Talonkinesis
The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) was the late director Albert Pyun’s first film. Most would also argue that it was his best film, and we’re here to tell you that they’re not wrong. The details here aren’t too important, but your standard fantasy tropes are all in place and if that’s what you’re into you’re going to have a good time.

BMFcast Extra 205 – Masters of the Universe
Masters of the Universe (1987) is Cannon Films’ attempt to make money off the mostly no longer relevant He-Man franchise, starring Dolph Lundgren in the vehicle that was supposed to make him a star. Also along for the ride are Courtney Cox, Tom Paris from Star Trek Voyager and Mr. Strickland from Back to the Future.

BMFcast561 – Alien Warrior – An Afterschool Special for Dirtbags
Alien Warrior (1985) is one of those movies. It’s baffling in all the best ways. It’s about a beefy space alien man who comes to Earth to defeat “Great Evil”. Once here he runs afoul of evil pimp Mr. One and also helps kids learn to read after building a sports car from scratch. Who is this for?!

BMFcast560 – Street Fighter – Li-fenestra-chun
Street Fighter (1994) is a big ol’ mess of a video game movie featuring a coked up Jean-Claude Van Damme and a sadly dying Raul Julia butting heads while a whole bunch of supporting characters… also do stuff. It’s nothing like the video games but some of the costumes are accurate!

BMFcast559 – Mercenary Fighters – Superfly DDT
Mercenary Fighters (1988) is a Cannon release about a group of, uh… mercenary fighters who are hired to remove some rebels from a small African country. While doing so, some of them (mainly Reb Brown) seem to think they’re not doing the right thing. He keeps doing it long after he comes to that conclusion though. It’s not very clear. But he gets to yell and stuff, so there’s there.
