2·2 months agoI missed it myself because that’s when the washing machine repairman finally arrived.
No worries!
BTW there will be a next time, as an August ‘season’ of BTiLC & other Kurt Russell movies are an annual event. (Tomorrow on #SundayFunnies will show Used Cars and for #MondayActionMovie it will be Escape From New York see https://piefed.social/post/1154200 for more info
Someone in the watch party said their local cinema in 1986 showed BTiLC and Highlander (also from 20th Century Fox) in a double bill all summer, didn’t say which came second.
No, not a B movie but I thought there might be fans here who’d like to join in.
The watch party is over now, but we all had a great time watching it.
Ghosts of Tsushima is from 2020, but Victor Wong (Egg Shen in BTiLC) died in 2001. But who knows with AI?

AAA all-time fave, hopefully appeals to folks here who’ll join in the watch party tomorrow
Watched and enjoyed this the other night. Too much fan service from Newmar & Takei, not enough Divoff and Vander (vamping and hamming to the moon and back), just the right amount of Shatner.

I also watched the Rifftrax version… chuckled maybe 3 times.

Captain Kirk does his cowboy-themed intro
Mr Homn makes his Western-themed entrance
Lieutenant Sulu does his Trek-themed self-abasing fan service
I’m not saying Musetta Vander’s costume reveal is the single greatest moment in cinematic history… but it’s damn close!
Night scorp! (during the daytime…)
Andrew Divoff played alien bad guy Red Eye but also cameoed as this crazy prospector I wish had got his own spinoff sitcom.
That final fight with Ken Lo is simply astounding and why I just rewatched DM2. There’s a video breaking it down as the best fight scene of all time (it took four months to shoot).
So I watched the whole film again last night. An absolute delight.
In hindsight, that could look a bit like a corpse, so let me say that’s Jackie Chan in Drunken Master 2 (1994) and his character there is alive. Just passed out after a night of heavy drinking, after which the baddies humiliated him by leaving him like this.
Glad you’re enjoying it :D
You’re welcome :)
:) Glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah, I’ve never seen her in anything else and she doesn’t even merit a Wikipedia page. Although she has more credits than I expected on IMDb. (Of course, the top feature of that page is the trailer for Laser Mission. :D )
This came out the year after, I think.
There’s an alternate poster, but still focused on climbing (which is like 0.001% of the movie).
Enjoy!
(Although I may have oversold the repartee…)
Awesome recommendation, thanks! Gotta watch some more of those Triple B movies.
For us Gen Xers, there were a hell of a lot of cheap scifi action flicks in the video rental heyday of the 90s. Including quite a few in the Venn diagram overlap of “future dystopia” + “cyborgs” + “kickboxing”.
I always assumed it was Albert Pyun movies like Cyborg (JCVD) and Nemesis (Olivier Gruner). (Pyun was casting kickboxers as movie leads practically until he died in 2022.) However I see the Community wiki says (but without any citations) Robocop and Cyber Tracker (Don Wilson) (it is now in my watchlist). And then I found this other Don Wilson movie with the “future dystopia” + “cyborgs” + “kickboxing” overlap.
Unless the writers come out and tell us exactly which movies inspired Kickpuncher, we’re left guessing.
PS I wonder if they have, maybe answering audience questions at a convention.
The artist of the Kickpuncher comic doesn’t clear up the issue here:
Cool, I hadn’t noticed the comment.
I wonder why this got downvoted so much.
It’s definitely the one you should show if the kids ask for Minions :D
