Was the sack of gunpowder already set to blow?
Ah yes, but how did the sack stick to Evil Ash's "ass"? LOL

How did Ash make Evil Ash blow/detonate, after the catapult threw him away?

That was the first thing I thought of too. They should make a full length animated McBain movie.
Or a "McBain 2" movie starring a very aged Christopher Walken.

I remember renting 'The Dogs Of War' on video back in the 1980s. That's about all I remember.
You should check it out again, it's a cool movie. Based on a Frederick Forsyth novel, it's well researched.
Shannon and McBain. The best.

I just watched this. It's not bad. Very cheesy. Some of it was very funny, like the drug house scene. Reminded me of the Dogs of War (1980) another Christopher Walken, mercenary movie. Although, that's a more serious, grounded film.
Yeah, man. Glad you enjoyed the ride.

I think that DC COMICS has just found its new vocation and style.
I want the next Superman as a black alien man, singing and dancing all over the movie.

This movie is more addictive than marijuana by ten times.
Walken's McBain is the definitive best weird action hero in history.

There's also that post-credit stinger at the end of the remake.
Hell yes! Damn, I forgot that.

Nice recollection of 'McBain', thanks. It's a shame they didn't make a 'McBain' movie series, Christopher Walken showed what he's all about here. You're right!
The only scene of the movie that depicts the "cosmic impossible" is when McBain - from the cockpit of his small plane - shots a JET with his handgun, and the pilot of the JET is killed. Magic bullet trespassing two cockpits, without damaging McBain's one.
From a review:
"Take, for example, the scene when McBain and his crew are buzzing down to Columbia in a twin-engine prop plane and are suddenly joined by a Columbian fighter jet! After the old âSorry, our radio's bustedâ trick, McBain, in the co-pilotâs seat, pulls a gun, shoots it past his pilotâs head, through the window without breaking it, across to the fighter jet, through that cowling without breaking it, and into the pilotâs head! Ha ha, talk about a magic bullet!"
Well, it was an ultra-cool scene anyway.

Such a great and wonderful cult movie. Walken as action hero, that's so weird!
I'm surprised that this movie is so underrated and/or overlooked in America. I love it to the nth degree.
Some cool facts about the movie:
Movie Body Count: 240 are shot to death, stabbed or burned alive. 30 people are gunned down and knifed within the first five minutes of the film, during the infamous P.O.W camp scene.
The car chase was filmed on main street in Saranac Lake (Adirondack Woods).
In Italy, "McBAIN" was aired for the very first time in 1996, on RAI DUE, one of the biggest and most successful channels. Following its first introduction to Italian masses through a high quality and popular TV schedule, "McBAIN" has been reprised by RAI TRE at least two more times, each obtaining very good ratings.
In Spain, "McBAIN" was rechristened "McBAIN â O Guerreiro Moderno" (McBain: the modern warrior).
In the extremely popular 1989âs "THE SIMPSONS" cartoon series, thereâs a fictional character called "McBain". The show production was forced to drop the character's name for some time ("a number of years" as reported by Internet Movie Database) due to legal issues connected to the release of the "McBAIN" movie.
As Wikipedia nicely reports:
"The writers invented Wolfcastle as the action hero McBain for the episode "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?". Because they liked the scene involving the character from that episode, they used him again in "The Way We Was", which was recorded and aired before "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" The McBain films satirize clichés of action films. The character was originally named McBain, until an actual film called McBain was released in 1991. That film's producers refused to allow the show to use the name, so "Rainier Wolfcastle" became the name of the actor playing the McBain role."
Even if Springfieldâs McBain resembles actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, his biggest nemesis is a powerful latin drug kingpin named Mendoza, and he is often seen killing yellow-skinned "Colombian mercenaries" (so, there's a "Colombia" in Simpsonsâ universe too). Does it sound familiar? For further infos on Simpsons' McBain: www.kidmoe.com/mcbain/
James Glickenhaus, talented creator, writer and director of "McBAIN", made a name for himself when he wrote and filmed the cult movie "THE EXTERMINATOR" in 1980. In "McBAIN", Glickenhaus also played a nice cameo as the "Cigarette Boat Driver".
In 2001, Walken starred in a movie called ''Scotland, PA'' as Lieutanant... McDUFF.
ALICIA SILVERSTONE made her big screen debut in "McBAIN".

Ash used the term "Groovy" (whatever that means) only in these instances:
1- ED2. After he created the Chainsaw Arm and the "Boomstick". Ready to fight. 2- ARMY. After he created the Iron Hand. Ready to fight. 3- At the very end of Episode 1/Season 1 (AvED), when he's 100% ready to embrace the fight with the Kandarian Demon again. Along with Kelly and Pablo. 4- At the very end of Episode 10/Season 3 (AvED), when he's 100% ready to drive the Oldsmobile in the post-apocalyptic future and face his destiny. Along with Lexx (the female warrior).

Predator 2, well, I guess that it costed less than 35 million dollars, sometimes it has been reported that it costed 20 million dollars or 30. By the way, as you already know, the movie grossed about 57 million dollars.
The Predator costed 88 million dollars, and grossed 160.
What do you think about it?

$40 million in 1985 is about $105 million today. Yeah see, there you go. Not sure where the rest of the money went aside from that Statue of Liberty scene.
The third part of the movie was full action, and it was terrific. Again, it wasn't RAMBO II. It wasn't lame and stupid at all.
Remo is a ninja spy, not your average action hero.

Always liked it a lot. I remember when lady liberty was being restored, so that was cool seeing that sequence. Wilford Brimley was cool also. Gotta have some of that Quaker oatmeal
Hell yes.

Are you watching the video on a medium or small screen like a phone or even a medium sized TV/monitor? If so, then yeah, you're probably not going to be able to tell the difference. Are you compressing the raw video with a lossy compression algorithm tuned to strongly prefer high quality over small size?
I know where you're coming from. I'm watching these files on a lossless format, and on a medium-sized HD TV. They are professionally filmed videoclips, and they look 100% fine.

Hello guys,
My former hard disk had some mechanical problems. It wasn't "corrupted" at all, so to speak. I backed up my data (audio/video/picture files) on a brand new hard disk.
Someone told me that when a hard disk is damaged, then files could be "corrupted", and thus you may be saving damaged files on the new disks. That's not the case, I GUESS, because my former hard disk had mechanical problems, and some of the files (which I checked) can be opened on the new disk without any problem.
How could I check all the files (they are A LOT), in order to see if they are damaged? I think they aren't.
