BMFcast545 – Hard Target – Jeankata
Hard Target (1993) was director John Woo’s first American effort. Lance Henriksen is hunting men in New Orleans and Jean-Claude Van Damme gets in the middle of it. It’s a mess of a film for many different reasons, but in the end it is both silly as hell and ridiculously awesome.

BMFcast541 – Extreme Prejudice – The Hoonin’ Yeeters
Extreme Prejudice (1987) is a film that’s been requested nearly a dozen times over the years. It stars Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Michael Ironside and a dozen “that guys” who’re sweatin’ it up in a Texas border town either doing or stopping crimes. Eventually all their paths cross. Speaking of borders, it’s a borderline good movie!
Before wrapping up we have the briefest spoiler-free chat about Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Enjoy!

BMFcast472 – T-Force – Maybe It’s Valvoline
T-Force (1994) is a delightfully silly low budget action film from the masterminds at PM Entertainment, makers of Hologram Man. RoboCops are decommissioned but that goes against their survival protocol, so they rebel. Also, they learn to love… physically. Lots of other things (besides their robopassion) explode all over the screen.
In the second half there are X-Men: Dark Phoenix and San Andreas thoughts, along with an extended rant about people not shutting the hell up in theaters, and why it’s broken yet another one of us. Enjoy!

BMFcast414 – The Taking of Beverly Hills – Shuriken Wahl
The Taking of Beverly Hills (1991) has Ken Wahl as a hotshot NFL quarterback who is the only man left to thwart a Robert Davi led scheme to rob the entire city of Beverly Hills under the guise of a chemical spill evacuation. This one is crazy, with SWAT tanks, flamethrowers, car stunts aplenty, ninja stars and, of course, gratuitous explosions. The only question is just how many Jox will this be awarded?
In the second half we go movie-crazy, with talk of Duncan Jones’ new Netflix film Mute (2018), Chuck revisits the Tombstone (1993) vs Wyatt Earp (1994) debate, Harlo is impressed with Moonlight (2016), not so much with Hellraiser (1987), Maki checks out Criterion’s brand-new (gorgeous) Night of the Living Dead (1968) blu-ray, and we wrap up with discussion of The Disaster Artist (2017) and Tommy Wiseauness in general.

BMFcast391 – Maniac Cop 2 – Jason X To Pay Respects
Maniac Cop 2 (1990) is a much-requested movie chock-full of BMFcast alums. With Robert Z’Dar as the titular cop back on the beat, there are plenty of beatdowns, mutilations, incinerations, and (especially) defenestrations. We all know this will get Jox. The question is how many?
After the break we do a lot of recent movie catch-up with Harlo checking out Tom Cruise’s The Mummy (2017) and continuing the Harry Potter journey with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016). Chuck revisits Prometheus (2012) before diving into the icky pool that is Alien Covenant (2017) and Maki gets into the filmmaking of Kong Skull Island (2017). Enjoy!

BMFcast360 – Rage – Glass Dismissed
Rage (1995) isn’t Gary Daniels’ first BMFcast movie, but it’s definitely his first as the lead. (Spoiler: Also the best. So far.) He’s an unassuming second grade teacher who gets caught up in a government experiment gone wrong and must now battle his way to freedom, while murdering and/or defenestrating lots and lots and LOTS of bad guys.
In the second half Harlo reviews Passengers (2016) and the Mexican movie theater experience, Chuck and Maki discuss why Hail, Caesar! (2016) is one of the Coens’ lesser works, Maki sees a musical (The Book of Mormon) and we even have time for a listener e-mail. Enjoy!
