BMFcast 592 – Let’s Get Harry – Dan Harmon’s Sexy, Sexy Dad
Let’s Get Harry (1986) is the mostly forgotten story of a group of friends who hire a mercenary (Robert Duvall) to help them rescue their buddy Harry (Mark Harmon) who has been kidnapped by the Colombian drug cartel. Can an “all-star” cast (including Gary Busey) overcome a lot of behind the scenes drama during filming to make this one worth revisiting?

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.

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.

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.

BMFcast544 – Operation Dumbo Drop – CO Tuco
Operation Dumbo Drop (1995) was one of the few remaining Ray Liotta (RIP) movies we had that would qualify for this show. It’s a weird PG Disney movie set during the Vietnam War. That’s a very odd thing. Is it bad? Some of us definitely think so!
