GeekTyrant is calling this ACTION USA trailer “Amazingly Bonkers,” and it’s hard to argue. It’s not that I think it looks good, because I frankly do not. The confusion on my part here is that I do not understand why I didn’t see this movie on Sunday afternoon television a half-dozen times, growing up. It looks like exactly the kind of blow-em-up lunacy that syndication depends on. And yet, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it. Weird.
Anyway, it’ll be brought back to American cinema this fall. GIRD THY LOINS.
That looks terrible, and not even in an amusing way. As far as how you missed it, I can think of three possibilities:
1. It was too graphic for the censors and no broadcast-friendly edit was available
2. It was too dumb even for broadcast TV
3. Your guardian angel hid it from you (or you from it!)
My memories of 80s/90s TV oppose both the first two ideas, so I guess you have some prayers of thanks to offer! 🙂
Stunt man directs own movie. The stunts do look good!
