BMFcast Extra 198 – Resident Evil Apocalypse
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) is the second entry in the franchise and there’s so much baffling stuff in it that it broke our brains, rendering us nearly incapable of recapping it properly. But we try.

BMFcast543 – New York Ninja – Nintendons
New York Ninja (1984/2021) managed to break our collective brains. Sure there’s plenty of talk about this incomplete, unreleased 80s film resurrected by Vinegar Syndrome, but it leads to questions about the nature of art and then the nature of reality. Is this movie real? Is anything real? Who are you people? What’s happening?

BMFcast542 – Tremors 2 Aftershocks – Gross Point Blank
Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996) is the first direct to video sequel in the now long-running franchise. It’s also how we’re saying goodbye to the late Fred Ward, as this was one of his rare starring roles. The Graboids are back (in Mexico!) and Ward is hired to wipe them out. It’s surprisingly well done for a low budget DTV entry.

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!

BMFcast540 – Duel to the Death – Animadjacency
Duel to the Death (1983) was sent to us by a passionate listener who REALLY wanted us to watch it, so we did! It’s an over the top kung fu swordplay ninja movie with insane stunts, crazy violence and an annoying soundtrack. What’s not to love?

BMFcast539 – DeepStar Six – Braless Row and Naked Showers
DeepStar Six (1989) helped kick off that year’s underwater monster movie craze that didn’t produce a lot of good results. It’s an Alien ripoff that spends a lot of time not doing anything and then suddenly has too many things to do. Will those things be enough to award it some Jox?

BMFcast538 – Moonfall – The Jizz of the Ancients
Moonfall (2022) is completely bonkers. The moon falls out of its orbit and will crash into the Earth within weeks. A handful of heroes attempt to stop it but discover there’s more to the story than anyone realized. Way more. Like holy God there’s so much more. Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster movie is one of the goofiest things you can watch, and you should absolutely watch it.

BMFcast537 – House Party 2 – P’Jam
House Party 2 (1991) sees Kid (Kid) off to college while Play (Play) stays behind to work in the record store. Hijinks ensue. Also, drama? But then there’s a pajama jammie jam, which is why we’re all here. It’s a very wholesome R-rated comedy.

BMFcast Extra 197 – Delta Force 3
Delta Force 3: The Killing Game (1991) features the sons and brothers of famous action stars or otherwise acclaimed filmmakers. This is not a good casting choice for an action movie. It’s a gimmick, one which does not work at all. Even BMFcast-beloved director Sam Firstenberg (with creative consulting from Brian Trenchard-Smith!) can’t make this nonsense work.

BMFcast536 – The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter – Snake Sock
The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter (1984) is considered to be not just one of the best Shaw Brothers movies, but one of the best overall martial arts movies of all time. We were very confused about the plot but we do know that all the fighting RULES and the last 20 minutes in particular will rock your gosh darn snake socks off.
Editor’s Note: In this episode we will absolutely butcher names, proper nouns, places, events, phrases, minerals, traditions, religion and so on. We don’t mean to do this. It’s not done for laughs. We’re just dumb and talking too fast. We will strive to do better. We do know a lot about Soul Calibur though.
