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.

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.

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!

BMFcast554 – The Cannonball Run – Cannonball Your Brains Out
The Cannonball Run (1981) is a collection of gags performed by an all-star cast in a movie that’s ostensibly about a car race but it actually just a collection of gags performed by an all-star cast. But, I mean, if you see that there’s a movie starring Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore and Jackie Chan you’re going to watch it no matter what. We did.

BMFcast552 – Day of the Animals – Birdnertia
Day of the Animals (1977) is the fantastical tale of the hole in the ozone layer causing animals (and then later, people) to go mad. A dozen mountain hikers led by Christopher George (Enter the Ninja) are menaced by the wild animals and eventually by Leslie Nielsen as well. Everyone has a really bad time.

BMFcast551 – Righting Wrongs – Power of Attorney
Righting Wrongs (1986) is also known as Above the Law in the states and if you’ve seen this before you might have seen it with a vastly different ending. We watched the original Hong Kong version and well… it is DARK. Yuen Biao is a prosecutor frustrated with the system so he starts whipping ass around town. Cynthia Rothrock is the cop who thinks he should play by the rules. The action is nuts, everything else not so much.

BMFcast550 – An Eye for an Eye – Better Get Mako
An Eye for an Eye (1981) stars Chuck Norris as a loose cannon ex-San Francisco cop hunting down the killers of his friends. A solid supporting cast including Christopher Lee, Mako and Richard Roundtree either help or get in his way. People get kicked in the face.
