Iron MaskInane, cheap-looking, CGI-addled, atrociously dubbed wuxia nonsense/possibly a Chinese/Russian propaganda film. I know it's a sequel to Viy/ Forbidden Empire/ Forbidden Kingdom, which I have not seen; but I really don't know how much that would help this one. If, like me, you saw this in the United States (or in the UK) then you know that not only was this not marketed as a sequel to anything, but that it was also very deceptively promoted as starring Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sadly, this is totally untrue. The two of them get maybe about twenty minutes of screentime all told. While I am certainly miffed about the flagrant false advertising, I do have to admit it's pretty fun seeing them play off one another. Their fight scene (which more or less ends in a draw) is a pretty good one too. The movie actually concerns itself with an adventurous cartographer (Jason Flemyng) traveling through 1700's Russia. Upon discovering that Peter the Great has been replaced with an impostor, he's forcibly ejected from the country and must travel onward to China, where he endeavours to help a village under the thumb of a cruel witch who's impersonating a princess. Meanwhile, the real Peter the Great (Yuri Kolokolnikov) is imprisoned in the Tower of London, wearing the titular iron mask and chained to Jackie Chan's mystical kung fu master. After the two of them stage a jailbreak and Chan gets recaptured by the jailer, Captain Hook (Schwarzenegger, who thank Christ doesn't even attempt to do an English accent; and also doesn't have a hook hand, although I suppose that would've interfered with his and Jackie's big fight scene) Peter meets up with Flemyng's wife (Anna Churina) and the two of them head off on their own journey to China aboard a pirate ship captained by a drunken midget. Anyway, it's a long, muddled and ultimately inconsequential movie. The effects are mostly awful, the editing is choppy, the dubbing as mentioned is laughable, the mythology is incoherent; it's really kind of a waste of the two hours. Some okay fight choreography here and there, but it's hardly worth it. A couple stay observations- I find it amusing that despite this movie's "historical" basis, Schwarzenegger is not playing Captain James Cook, but instead the very fictional Captain James Hook. Y'know, like the one from Peter Pan. Of course, Captain Cook was never a jailer in the Tower of London, so I suppose it wouldn't have made all that much sense either way. Also, in addition to totally wasting the presences of Chan and Schwarzenegger and the golden opportunity of seeing the two of them face off onscreen, the movie also doles out completely thankless near-cameo roles to Charles Dance and Rutger Hauer. Dance is at least apparently reprising a role he played in the first movie, but Hauer is the real insult. In one of his final roles, he gets to saunter around in period dress for all of about forty-five seconds, looking confused and overdubbed with somebody else's voice. It's the final indignity after a career filled with them, and he damned well deserved better. Somehow, I kind of want to see this film, even though some of the images appearing in my mind from reading your review, is probably way more fun than what it actually ends up as. Shame about Rutger Hauer though, so yeah, maybe the wisest thing is to keep this on hold, and should it suddenly appear online for free, I might give it a go. And if not, just skip forwards to the scenes (probably already uploaded on Youtube) with Jackie and Arnie. Also the poster is "classic" DTV/VOD artwork. The bigger the heads and names are, the lesser is usually their roles/time on screen.

That is a hell of a great movie poster/title, and one I somehow have not heard of, until now. Hopefully I can find it somewhere, and give it a watch. Curtis usually always has a way of finding good chemistry with his fellow actors, and sounds like an interesting take, having him and Bronson teaming up.

6/10I remember loving this film when I first saw it in '05. Looking at it again now I like it but cant say I love it. Its technically very well made but it just lacks the entertainment and excitement value for me. At least Bales Batman voice is tolerable here. Plus I never understood Batman no killing rule when he burns down a building full of people and throws bombs at cops.

The Getaway (1994) I was just wondering. What kind of version did you end up with? Picked up a German Blu-ray, which said to be "Uncut" version, but then later on, I found out there is even another longer uncut version, so maybe 3 different copies? Anyway, I remember it from decades ago, as a sleazy but somehow enjoyable late night cable action-thriller, probably most because of Kim Basinger, but felt it was still a pretty good mid 90s release, which at times came off as more a straight-to-video movie, with some big names attatched. Just wished James Woods had a bigger part here, as I believe he got written out, way too early. It wasn’t too bad, but I didn’t know it was almost a scene by scene remake of Sam Peckinpah’s original 1972 film. So nothing about it surprised me, especially what happens to Woods‘ character. Although this remake was definitely raunchier. Other than that, Doc McCoy (Steve McQueen) actually gets shot in the climatic hotel shootout, but you never know how fatal it is when he eventually drives off at the end. I’m not familiar with the cuts, but I think I saw the R-rated version. Not the unrated.

Hm, maybe I should give both films (the original as well) another go later this year, as it has been a while since I saw the 1972 version, where as the 1994 might bump up a bit with another go. According to IMDb there is two versions, and not sure where or why, but when I picked up a German release, I found some negative feedback to that copy (Concorde release), by some who claimed it was still not complete uncut. Seems like it says 110 minutes, and the Wikipedia and IMDb says around 116 minutes, so yeah, I am not sure I will spend more money for a decent but not great remake, just for some few minutes more, most likely of the Baldwins "private tape" during the bedroom scene.

Hawk’s Vengeance (1996) by Marc F. Voizard Having enjoyed quite a few of the Scott Adkins The Art of Action episodes, featuring the likes of Richard Norton, Cynthia Rothrock, Steven Seagal, Dolph Lundgren and recently Gary Daniels, I decided to start up watching a bit more 90s martial arts films, and where I think the Daniels episode was the most fun and entertaining one. He came off as a really fun and likeable fella, which is kind of the opposite of the few films I have seen of him, at least as the leading man. Nothing to take away from his solid stunt and fight scenes, but too often he comes off as a bit too cocky and arrogant, lacking quite a lot of the same likeable and charming personality he seems to have so much of behind the camera, but then again I have not seen too many of his films. Hawk’s Vengeance starts up where Daniels british marine character, gets some bad news that his step brother has been murdered over in America, he soon finds himself deep into a personal vendetta along with a asian sidekick, who may or not know a thing or two about Kung-fu, and also throw in a sexy female co-worker, some random 90s late night cable sex scene sleaze, colorful henchmen and a not so threatening main villain, you got your self a pretty okay martial arts action film. Sadly, Daniels feel a bit wasted in most of the fight sequences, where they just seem too "light" and I wished they had turned it up a notch, because the film screamed for more gritty and brutal stuff, instead it went for the comedic buddy-cop routine, and it did not work so well, or so I thought. However, the two main henchmen were quite fun though, specially the older one, who ended up on the recieving end of his more well dressed partners knife, several times. All in all, I have probably (or hopefully) much better Gary Daniels movies to look forward too, not bad but a long shot away of being something I would want to include in my martial arts action collection. 5/10

Bloodmoon (1997) by Tony Leung Siu-Hung As the full moon rises over New York City, a mysterious murdering lunatic dressed up as the "phantom of the opera", goes around butchering random fighters and brawlers, all while a former special agent (Gary Daniels) is brought back into the action, after years away from the job, in order to hunt down this seemingly unstoppable serial killer.Well now this was way more like it, Bloodmoon is exactly what I had hoped for last night, and it did not disappoint one bit. Here Gary Daniels is a long shot away of being the cocky and douchy guy from some of his lesser adventures, at least those I have seen by now, and instead comes off instantly, as a really nice and funny fella, who happens to be a family man and yet ends up attracting the attention of all kind of creeps and dirtbags, but then it is nice to have some friends (Chuck Jeffreys), even if they kind of hate each other at first: "It's because I am black right?"
"No, it's because you're an Asshole!"and who just happens to look and sound (at times) exactly like Eddie Murphy, and I had to check it up, as yeah, I am not the only one having "mistaken" him as a very similar in Murphy and his classic Axel Foley character, but not easy to find the right image from the film, but yeah, probably better to look up some footage of the film itself. Anyway, one of the main reasons to why this film was such fun, is that where the other Daniels films often had lots of cool action and nice fight scenes, the main villain came off as just either another sleazy and weak baddie, who never stood a chance of matching the hero, but in this one, you have a such a great an memorable bad guy (Darren Shahlavi, who takes no prisoner and kicks some serious ass. Speaking of ass kicking, I love the Hong Kong action mixed with typical 90s buddy cop routine, but it really works so well, and switches from being hard hitting to just hilarious, and some of the scenes is incredible well done. Also Frank Gorshin has a smaller part, as the angry chief. All in all, a very fun and fast filled action martial arts movie, which I would not mind tracking down on either DVD or Blu-ray, as this was without the best one yet I have seen from Gary Daniels in the main lead, and one of those where the rating might easily jump upwards with a later revisit. 6,5/10

The back of dvd sleeve I got is 115 mins. But the disc ran for just under 110mins. I read up on the uncut version, and from what I gathered the sex scenes are longer in that cut. Nothing mentioned about it being more violent though. Then you count in the PAL or NSTC playback. The former is usually a shorter running time compared to the latter. So that could play a part in confusing run times?

That sounds about right, and something I should be checking more into, so I don't end up re-purchasing the exact same film version as I already own, just by going by the runtime alone. Yeah, I would believe the sex scenes were quite trimmed down here and there, yet still I remember lots of Basinger, but I could swear there was even more of her in a tv-version I saw a bit of, back in the late 90s, when I caught up with it on late night cable.

Full Impact (1993) by David Huey This one I believe could have been a worthy mention in the old Craptastic action b-movie thread, which I think is now long gone, but yeah, talk about cheap, trashy and yet at times so amusingly awful. Sadly, the film as a whole is just nowhere near being "so-bad-its-good", as it sure comes with lots of scenes which just drags on, and takes forever, and the whole thing looks and sounds like some random amateur footage meets Shot On Video, but is really more played out like a very long Gary Daniels promotional best of video. The film opens with a long haired Daniels seen screaming, kicking and punching the air, around some shady neighborhood, and then not long into the film, we are into some drug deal gone bad, with Daniels playing a bounty hunter on the loose, some hilarious bad buy eats a fish, then Daniels goes one up by killing a lot of poor fish. Add in random sleazy sex scenes, hilarious dubbing and terrible stiff dialogue, and many many more fight scenes, some come so often, that if you blink your eyes a bit too many, you might just miss one, and all of a sudden you are into a whole different one. Anyway, throughout the film, almost everyone mocks and makes fun of Gary Daniels hair, and it only makes him more pissed. The bad guy is probably not too hard to figure out who is, and not gonna spoil it, but for me the film would surely be given a lower rating if it wasn't for the hilarious never ending fight scene, which seemed to go on for a liftetime or more. I have not laughed that hard and often, for quite some time, but that fight was pure cheese, and felt like it deserved to be in a much more enjoyable bad movie, as yeah, I almost fell out the coach the moment where after Daniels had chased and ran after his enemy for such a long time, and Daniels ends up stealing some piece of shit car from a dude, and then rams down the villain, and what happens next, the villain is all of sudden on top of the car roof, then he is seen climbing inside the car, all while now Daniels is the one trying to escape by throwing himself out of the car. The editing and scenery is the kind of has to be seen to be believed, and yeah, I really wished the whole fight were uploaded, but the film is on Youtube in crappy "quality", so yeah, for those who must see every Gary Daniels movie, this is surely a very bad one, but at least it comes with scenes that at times looks like they could have been taken straight out of something like Samurai Cop or Miami Connection. All in all, the poster used on Letterboxd shows a much older and short haired Gary Daniels, and according to some swedish (and very angry) reviewer, some even featured Jean Claude-Van Damme, so it must have been quite a letdown to end up with this instead. Anyway, Daniels delivers lots of solid ass kicking but yeah, this has to be among his most early entries and I could not give it any worse than a: 3,5/10

It’s probably about a minutes worth of cuts? Being just 2 scenes. I’ve done that a couple times. Buying an American dvd/bluray that is supposedly uncut, to only find out the international cut (eg Australian release) is also the uncut version, but not labelled as so. Happened a couple times. Something like ‘Showdown in Little Tokyo’ I own on dvd and bluray. The American region A blu is cut, but the region B Australian dvd is not. That craptastic action thread is still about, as it’s on my profile history page for ‘Recent Threads’.

I haven’t seen any of his other starring action vehicles. ‘Blood Moon’ seems to be talked up, and looks like you enjoyed it by your review. ‘Cold Harvest’ was another that caught my eye due to also starring Barbara Crampton.

Actually I think the bald chubby asian (older fighter) in Full Impact, is also among the main henchmen in Samurai Cop, probably one of those who just always were around, when the director needed a memorable villainous figure to kill off a few minutes of time with. Full Impact (1993) I don’t know why, but the pic of Daniels made me laugh, but I wouldn’t at his face. 😉😁 Outside of ‘White Tiger’, which I thought was mediocre.

There was quite a lot of bad guys who seems to point the gun at Daniels up close, but not for long, and not a very smart move to make fun of his hair either. Have probably seen not too many of his own films, as Gary tends to show up in smaller parts, in everything from big budget titles like The Expendables to Steven Seagal b-movies. But Bloodmoon I would actually say were a really fun and good action movie, and yeah, Cold Harvest I have seen, but been ages since, or so it feel. I remember a bit of a post-apocalyptic meets Spaghetti Western style, and of course Barbara Crampton, but one I might want to revisit later.

Money Plane (2020) by Andrew Lawrence "Fucking Co-Pilot!" A professional thief (Adam Copeland) and his loyal crew is weighed down by a brutal debt, due to having failed their employer (Kelsey Grammer). As a result, they end up now with one last chance of redeeming themselves, by doing a huge heist located inside a flying Casino full of big money, but also bigger criminals.Oh yeah, I had heard much "great" things about this one, a while back, and did not go into it with too much expecations, but somehow it ended up feeling way more fun than it probably should, and also with some awful recently seen pieces of garbage (like Beyond the Resonator, with only a runtime of 45-50 minutes, still felt more like 3 hours of pain and suffering) so yeah, this was surely a bad movie, but one which provided several laughs throughout the ride of ridiclous clichees, cheap as hell furniture, movie set and special effects. Another important factor to why I just could not hate it, was seeing Kelsey Grammer as the main villain, and that alone managed to put the rating almost one step upwards. Also the fight scene inside the cockpit felt like it had potential for something even more funny, specially since the main lead is a former Wrestling star. The same guy pretty much spends most of his time on his ass behind the steering wheel, all while showing lots of "emotions", and thankfully his far more colorful crew, manages to uphold some of the cheesy fun. Most of the movie sets and interior, looks so cheap that Ed Wood Jr. would surely be proud, and another scene that got me thinking of the cult director, is when Thomas Janes plays around with a computer and flying drone, carrying a pistol which mows down a bunch of random bad guys, and the flying thing moves so stiff and shaky, in and out of the scenery, so it was like watching one of those flying saucers in Plan 9 from Outer Space. For about 80-82 minutes , you could probably go way worse within the generic huge amount of DTV/VOD titles having been made the last few years, and I wonder where most of the budget ended up at. But I guess Kelsey Grammer, Thomas Jane and Denise Richards got most of that, for their small parts, where specially the latter was probably not in for more than about 1 minute. Anyway, it was nowhere as horrible as many seem to label it with, but I guess it has "helped" seeing some even worse turds recently, and then this cheap and generic b-movie, all of a sudden were not all that horrible. 3,5/10

Captain America (1979) by Rod Holcomb "Jam Captain America down their throats!" The former soldier and now cartoon artist Steve Rogers (Reb Brown), has something in his blood which makes him a popular target, and soon finds himself into all kind of "accidents" while travelling on the road. And when it finally comes crashing down, he ends up waking up, completely uninjured in a hospitalbed. It seems like someone is after his old dad and his groundbreaking forumula, which in the wrong hands could be a complete disaster, but in the right one, it could lead to a lot of good things to come.Turned out to be a made for television film, and a sequel followed not long after. Not exactly a great one, but Reb Brown in the part of Captain America, along with some absolute ridiculous campy effects and action sequences, with villainous actors like Lance LeGault right behind, also having music by composer Mike Post. I almost expected The A-Team gang, to show up and save the day, while fleeing during the end with an angry LeGault and the iconic main theme bursting out. Anyway, the problem I had, was that the first half hour, more or less is just one giant sleeping pill, and when something finally happens, it goes a lifetime until something interesting or funny happens next, and hopefully the sequel having Christopher Lee (most likely as the main bad guy), will be a bit more rewarding or fun. 4/10

I saw this when it first aired on TV when I was a kid. I remember it being quite dull.
