Angel ,'Time Bomb'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Jackie Chan in Drunken Master II. The scene at the end, when he smashes a table with his bare hands. Why? Because the bad guy was just momentarily out of reach, and Chan's character was just so full of rage and energy he had to smash something....
Plus, there's the outside chance that he was drunk.
Oh yeah. But on the bad alcohol - the stuff that makes you blind if you drink it....
John Wayne riding a horse with the reins in his mouth, shooting (and pumping) a rifle in one hand, and a revolver in the other, in True Grit.
I'm actually shocked. Shocked I say! It's such a Hec film.
Me too. Such a great movie. Terrance Stamp is awesome.
Lee Marvin in The Dirty Dozen.
I'll see that, and raise you Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
Also, The Killers (which also happens to have Ronald Regan's last film role, as the white-collar/gangster villain).
Even I've seen The Limey! I do love Soderburgh.
Shaft! But it's hard to pick a scene...I think they all count.
Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
That's what I was thinking.
Bronson as Harmonica in the opening scene of Once Upon A Time In The West brings a trainload of iconic badassery, too.
Fucking The Limey. Movie makes me slightly paranoid.
But, yeah, total bad ass.
Bronson as Harmonica in the opening scene of Once Upon A Time In The West brings a trainload of iconic badassery, too.
Pun intended I assume?
That movie has a whole slew of iconic badass picture poses.
Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
Very true. Awesome flick. I saw this as part of my moving-to-SF series and still remember suggesting we watch it and my housemate thinking I meant Point Break. (Which is awesome for other reasons.)
