Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)

58 min Video

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris witness a monster melee with Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack as Godzilla and King Ghidorah face off again in theaters in Godzilla Minus Zero. Part of the Millennium era of Godzilla films, Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (also known as GMK) sets itself as a sequel to the original 1954 Gojira, ignoring other films in the series.  After almost 50 years, Godzilla returns, but he's now a reanimated vessel for vengeful spirits of those who perished in the Pacific theater of World War II.  Setting out on a path of destruction, three Guardian Monsters awaken to battle Godzilla: Baragon, Mothra, and Ghidorah.  Zach and Chris try to figure out why the Guardian Monsters didn't show up during the original Godzilla attack, all the rowdy Japanese teens getting their comeuppance when the monsters arrive, the Guardian Monsters, especially Baragon, being outmatched by Godzilla, the ghostly final twist, and more. You can watch GMK on Netflix.  Next week, we're boarding Con Air as the 90s action classic finally gets a 4K physical release.

Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

1 hr 6 min Video

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris put on their ghost goggles and close out the spooky season with 2001's Thir13en Ghosts, which turned 25. A remake of the 1960 William Castle movie 13 Ghosts, Thir13en Ghosts follows Tony Shalhoub's Arthur Kriticos as he inherits the bizarre mansion of his uncle Cyrus (F. Murray Abraham), an infamous adventurer and ghost hunter who is killed trying to capture a particularly nasty spirit.  Shortly after arriving at the mansion, Arthur learns from Cyrus's ghost-hunting partner, Dennis Rafkin (Matthew Lillard), that the mansion contains a collection of dangerous spirits in the basement, and they get loose while everyone living is trapped inside.  Zach and Chris discuss how Cyrus should have just sold the ghost goggles to the public, the overly complicated plot involving the Dark Zodiac and ancient machinery, how Arthur can afford a seemingly live-in nanny (played by Rah Digga), the awesome bisection kill, and more. You can watch Thir13en Ghosts on AMC or rent/buy it from Amazon, Fandango, Apple TV, and more.  Next week, with Godzilla Minus Zero hitting theaters, we're heading into the monster melee of Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.

Everything Action Commentary: Fade to Black (1980)

1 hr 59 min Video

For the latest Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris experience a movie-obsessed slasher in the cult 80s horror movie Fade to Black. Dennis Christopher stars as Eric Binford, a cinephile who works at a film distribution warehouse in Los Angeles.  Obsessed with movies like White Heat, Kiss of Death, and the Universal Monster movies, he's constantly bullied by his co-workers and his abusive aunt.  When it seems like he may have a chance to go on a date with Marilyn O'Connor (Linda Kerridge), a model from Australia who looks exactly like Marilyn Monroe, he finally completely snaps when he gets stood up and begins to dress as his favorite movie characters to kill everyone he believes wronged him.  While watching the movie, Zach and Chris discuss how Eric is kind of an a*****e before he becomes a killer, people being genuinely terrified of Universal Monster costumes, Dennis Christopher's James Cagney impression, baby-faced Mickey Rourke, and more. You can watch Fade to Black on Shudder/AMC+, or watch the version we watched on YouTube here: (26) Fade To Black (1980) | Horror, Drama | Dennis Christopher | 1080p Blu-ray Rip - YouTube.  Sync it up with our commentary track to watch along with us.

Seven years after Tommy Jarvis (Thom Mathews) sinks Jason Voorhees to the bottom of Crystal Lake in Part VI: Jason Lives, two new groups arrive at Crystal Lake.  One is a group of "teens" planning a surprise birthday party for one of their friends, and the other is Tina Shepard (Lar Park Lincoln), a girl with telekinetic and psychic powers, her mother, Amanda (Susan Blu), and psychiatrist Dr. Crews (Terry Kiser).  Dr. Crews believes being in the same place where she accidentally killed her father with her powers may cause them to become more powerful.  Tina accidentally frees Jason (Kane Hodder), believing she's sensing her father under the water of the lake, and the undead killer goes on another killing spree.  Zach and Chris discuss why Amanda didn't try to rescue her husband, what ulterior motive Dr. Crews may have, the odd friend group attending the birthday party, some of the best kills (like the sleeping bag against a tree), the "Carrie vs Jason" finale showdown, and more.

Universal Soldier (1992)

1 hr 8 min Video

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris make sure they have plenty of ice on hand to discuss 1992's Universal Soldier as a new group of government super soldiers hit theaters in Onslaught. Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren co-star as Luc Devereux and Andrew Scott.  In Vietnam, Scott goes psychotic and slaughters his squad and civilians, and he and Devereux kill each other after a fight.  The men are put on ice and resurrected as Universal Soldiers, genetically modified super soldiers who conduct counter-terrorism operations.  When a reporter, Veronica Roberts (Ally Walker), gets caught trying to photograph evidence in a restricted area, her cameraman is killed by Scott, and Devereux's memories start to come back, causing him to rescue Veronica and go on the run with her while the rest of the unit tracks them to keep the details of the project classified at any cost.  Zach and Chris talk about the seemingly glaring weaknes of the UniSols constantly overheating, Jerry Orbach's lack of any explanation of how he created the UniSols, the massive destruction of mom and pop businesses, Dolph's love of grenades and more.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)

1 hr 8 min Video

This week on the Everything Actioncast, with Coyote vs. Acme finally hitting theaters, Zach and Chris discuss another Looney Tunes movie, 2003's Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Brendan Fraser stars as DJ Drake, the son of actor Damian Drake (Timothy Dalton), who plays a spy in movies and turns out to be a secret agent in real life as well.  Captured by the sinister CEO of ACME, Mr. Chairman (Steve Martin), DJ is tasked with finding the legendary "Blue Monkey" diamond that has the power to turn people into monkeys.  DJ has the recently fired Daffy Duck (Joe Alaskey) tagging along, and the pair are followed by Warner Bros. executive Kate Houghton (Jenna Elfman) and Bugs Bunny (Alaskey), who want Daffy to return to their in-production movie.  Zach and Chris try to figure out what Steve Martin is doing in his villain role, Yosemite Sam's awesome Las Vegas casino, the alien cameos in Area 52, and whether it would have been better as more of a Hollywood satire instead of a spy/action movie parody. You can buy or rent Looney Tunes: Back in Action on Prime Video, Apple TV, or Fandango.  Next week, we're getting ready for Onslaught by discussing a movie it may have taken some inspiration from: Universal Soldier.

The Hitcher (1986)

1 hr 1 min Video

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris catch a ride with 1986's The Hitcher as it celebrates its 40th anniversary. Rutger Hauer stars as John Ryder, a terrifying hitchhiking serial killer who targets Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell), who is on the road trying to deliver a car from Chicago to San Diego.  Ryder starts to stalk and terrorize Jim, pushing him to the edge and trying to get him to finally snap and kill Ryder.  Zach and Chris discuss Hauer's amazing performance, the odd business of drive-away car delivery, the bizarre cut-away from the most horrific moment in the film, how everyone in the area besides Jennifer Jason Leigh's Nash is a trigger-happy cop, and more.

F/X (1986)

1 hr 3 min Video

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris use some movie magic and discuss the 1986 action thriller F/X, which came out 40 years ago this week. Bryan Brown stars as Rollie Tyler, a movie special effects artist who is recruited by the Department of Justice to help fake the murder of a mafia informant in witness protection.  Rollie pulls off the job, but the DoJ tries to kill him, and they murder his girlfriend, Ellen (Diane Venora).  NYPD detective Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy) investigates Ellen's death and starts to figure out that there might be some corrupt government agents behind everything.  Zach and Chris discuss how it's a bit odd for the movie to take place in New York City and not Los Angeles, the clunky nature of 80s special effects technology, Rollie getting a bunch of innocent people killed, using special effects as weapons in the finale, and more. You can watch F/X on Tubi and Pluto TV.  Next week, we've got a Broken Arrow as we discuss John Woo's 90s classic for its 30th anniversary.

The Mechanic (2011)

1 hr 4 min Video

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris make things look like an accident and discuss 2011's The Mechanic, which came out 15 years ago this week, and just as a new Statham movie, Shelter, hits theaters. A remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson film, Jason Statham stars as Arthur Bishop, a "Mechanic" who is contracted to pull off elaborate assassinations, most of which are designed to look like accidental deaths.  Forced to kill his mentor, Harry McKenna (Donald Sutherland), Arthur takes Harry's angry son, Steven (Ben Foster), under his wing and trains him in the art of assassination.  Zach and Chris discuss differences between this version and the Bronson version, Ben Foster's belief that he can take on a massive Arena football player in hand-to-hand combat, how this feels more like a Hitman video game adaptation than the actual Hitman movies, David Leitch vs. Statham, and more. You can watch The Mechanic on Paramount+, Philo, or MGM+.  Next week, we're learning the deadly art of illusion and discussing 1986's F/X, which is turning 40.
