"Firewalker" (1986)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i19BCkJaWQM

 

This enjoyably cheesy, comedic action flick stars Chuck Norris and Louis Gossett Jr. as a pair of bumbling treasure hunters who accompany a hot babe (Melody Anderson of "Flash Gordon" fame) down to Mexico in search of a long lost stash of Indian gold. Norris and Gossett actually made a pretty good team, they deserved a better movie than this one, which was bolted together out of bits stolen from bigger budget adventures like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Romancing the Stone."

"Primal" (2011)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qar03oyN_rU

 

A group of twenty-somethings head into the Outback on a camping trip... then they must battle for survival when one of their group becomes infected with a virus that turns her into a superhuman, homicidal something-or-other. Needless to say, hilarity ensues.

 

This fast paced Aussie horror flick doesn't offer much that we haven't already seen in "The Descent," "The Ruins" or "Cabin Fever" but it was a gooey, nasty, violent 'n' gory good time.

"Forced Vengeance" (1982)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDpwLQ4OsPg

 

Old school chop-socky cheez with Chuck Norris as the head of security at what must be the only honest casino in Hong Kong. When the local "syndicate" decides that they want a piece of their action and ultimately kill his beloved employer, The Mighty Chuck deals out mucho butt kicking payback.

The Hong Kong locations lend a slightly exotic feel to this otherwise pedestrian action/adventure flick with atrocious dialogue and hilariously wooden acting from everyone involved, especially Norris himself. Chuck was never a great actor, of course, but he practically sleepwalks through this one (unless he's roundhouse kicking someone in the face).

"Back to the Future Part III" (1990)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAOypL96dRw

 

Returning to 1985 after his last adventure in the time-tripping DeLorean, Marty McFly discovers that his old pal Doc Brown was killed in the Old West, so he races off to the frontier era to save him. Third and final installment in the "BttF" series is fun and action packed (as usual) with a lot of laughs.

Wait, he's in that? I had absolutely no desire to watch that until now.

Yeah ... he's the CGIed leader of the giants ... the voice gives him away :)

"Age of Dinosaurs" (2013)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udQ1e-XUybE

 

In this zero-budget "Jurassic Park" variant from those wacky guys at The Asylum, a geneticist (Ronny Cox of "RoboCop") has developed a way to clone dinosaurs ... but of course, something goes horribly wrong at the creatures' big unveiling to the public and media, and soon big lizards are rampaging through Los Angeles. Treat Williams is an L.A. firefighter who just wants to keep his daughter safe from the chaos.

As usual with Asylum flicks, things start out promising (the CGI on the dinosaurs looks almost competent for a while!) but quickly descend into utter silliness.

Agreed, although I'm in a very small minority as I prefer the first one. A lot of people say the sequel is better, but for me the original is the best; such a classic.

Silly, but very enjoyable film. Great acting performances, especially Woody Harrelson and my all-time favourite, Christopher Walken. The ending is a bit daft, but also funny. Glad I watched this one.

"Never Say Never Again" (1983)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDEzoYm25o8

 

Sean Connery returns to his most iconic role - James Bond - in this "unofficial" 007 adventure that is not considered part of the "regular" Bond series. This flick was made independently by a different production team after a long series of legal wranglings between author Kevin McClory and the Ian Fleming estate that stretched back nearly 20 years.

 

The film is essentially a retread of 1965's "Thunderball," with 007 on the trail of two stolen nuclear missiles in the Bahamas, but it moves at a much slower pace and feels quite dated. This movie is at least a half hour too long, and aside from one hilariously cheesy scene set in a video-game arcade to put it in the "80s" time frame, everything else - from the sets to the technology and the music - looks and feels straight out of the 1960s.

 

Still, it's fun to see Connery playing Bond again with his usual self-satisfied cool, Klaus Maria Brandauer and Max Von Sydow have nice turns as the villains "Mr. Largo" and "Blofeld," and a young Kim Basinger plays the obligatory Bond Babe, "Domino."

 

Without the familiar "James Bond Theme" or the "gun barrel" opening, and with different actors playing "Q," "M," "Moneypenny," etc., "Never Say Never Again" is like watching a weird alternate-universe version of James Bond.

 

007 fans might dig it as a curiosity item, but it's not something I'll watch again anytime soon.
