@fuddymunster.bsky.socialSo, here we are then, the little guy's about to do something.
I like whenever Yayan Ruhian turns up in an action film, benevolent or downright evil, he's got a real presence.
Played a RIGHT nasty piece of shit with a bow in this year's The Furious. Again with Joe!
@vickyblue21.bsky.socialI'm last few years I kind of tunes out in action scenes.
The exception was Blazing Magnum.
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialSuch a fucking CRUNCH
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialShe says as a knife graphically goes into a guy's bullet wound. And then somebody gets another knife through the neck in a lift.
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialNot a horror you say? Well, Evil Dead 2013 certainly thought it was worth cribbing from.
(also, I think it has it beat in that Jane Levy's facial expressions throughout THAT scene crack me the hell up)
@vickyblue21.bsky.socialSo I like the lead just too much action.
@vickyblue21.bsky.social#SundayCinema
So if this is horror, Live Wire is noir 😜
@jac2024.bsky.socialSo has anyone been keeping a body count . . .

@fuddymunster.bsky.social
@cta84.bsky.socialSo he's dropped the squad into the meat grinder? I thought you were somebody we could trust, Lt? #SundayCinema
(Not sure why they're not shooting through the door?)
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialArgh, the fucking axe.
@vickyblue21.bsky.socialI don't think the dub helping.
@vickyblue21.bsky.socialGoons. Fodder.
@fuddymunster.bsky.social"But Marge! The little guy hasn't done anything yet!"
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialShe's like, nice speech.
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialThere's a few shots here and there with some weird and pretty clear interlacing issues/tearing issues, I'm not quite clear how and what this was all filmed on, but my impression is that it was pretty low-fi, low-tech.
Which really adds to it for me.
@cta84.bsky.socialCOD: World At War vibes from the score..
If they stand for crime, they die for crime. Building by building, room by room.. One rat at a time #SundayCinema
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialOh, I should add, he's probably most familiar to western filmgoers as Sub Zero in the latest crop of Mortal Kombat movies. Which I haven't seen!
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialI will add, the correct answers for the other two duos is Armageddon/Volcano. No, I won't be taking any questions.
@fuddymunster.bsky.socialJoe Taslim, aka the guy in charge here, another breakout. A couple of his starring roles, particularly The Night Comes for Us, some of the finest action you ever will see.
I will always recommend Night... It's a beast.
