Hold up… it's still bad movie week isn't it? Then why in the name of John Woo's BUTTHOLE are we buring 90 minutes of sweet, sweet podcast runtime talking about Face/Off? 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, Chris. What the hell?! There's a lot to talk about because this movie is an insane time capsule that perfectly articulates the height of ‘90s action movie excess. It's illogical, but who cares? It's overacted in a way that's both operatic and absurd, but, also, who cares? Face/Off fucking rules, and I'm willing to die on this hill. I think Chris is too. Bob only sent us a complaint about the runtime in the group chat because he'd rather watch Quiz Show, so the Jury's still out on him. Time to yell!Dissimilar stubborn supposed studs swap sockets, skin, sneers, stubble, and sideburns so that the savior could stop sabotage while the sadist slays civil servants and shares the sheets for spousal snuggling! Snuffing a ciggie on sleeping Castor! Policeman's partner doesn't pick up on penis replacement! Non-consensual face removal! Dead child changeouts! Caucasian tan-line semantics! Castor Troy's ass-crumb trail! Fucking magnet prisons?!

In the pantheon of great Van Damme action flicks from the 1980s and 90s, 'Hard Target' (1993) undoubtedly stands out as one of his best. As hunky Cajun ex-Marine, Chance Boudreaux, the mullet-wearing 'Muscles from Brussels' struts his more sensitive side while also exhibiting the sort of superhero antics that would put Schwarzenegger to shame, like firing a pistol while standing on a moving motorbike and - famously - punching a snake. He has his director to thank for one of his most iconic roles: John Woo, the 'heroic bloodshed' maestro fresh from his ballistic Hong Kong masterpiece, 'Hard Boiled' (1992), and determined to make an impact in his American directorial debut. The resulting concoction is pure Woo - a slow-motion bullet ballet of epic proportions which cemented his position as one of cinema's greatest directors of action. Joining me and 'Life of Action' author Mike Fury to discuss this milestone in movie mayhem is Christina Newland, lead film critic at the i Paper and a contributing editor to Empire Magazine. As three dedicated Jean-Claude Van Damme fans, we unpick the reasons why we think his appeal is more inclusive than that of his action contemporaries - people like Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal, and Chuck Norris - and the lasting legacy that John Woo has had on action cinema. This episode was recorded live at the Nova Cinema in Woking, UK, in November 2024 as part of the British Film Institute's Art of Action season. A huge thank you to the crew at the Nova Cinema and the people of Woking who attended the show, and the Independent Cinema Office and Film Hub South East for helping to organise the event.LINKSChristina Newland on Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/christinalefou.bsky.socialChristina Newland's website: https://www.christinanewland.co.uk/Christina Newland on Substack: https://substack.com/@christinanewlandSubscribe to 'Sisters Under the Mink' on Substack: https://christinanewland.substack.com/Buy 'She Found It at the Movies: Women writers on sex, desire and cinema': https://www.waterstones.com/book/she-found-it-at-the-movies/christina-newland/9781912157181'Act Like a Man: Jean-Claude Van Damme' by Christina Newland: https://mubi.com/en/notebook/posts/act-like-a-man-jean-claude-van-dammeBuy 'Hard Target' on 4K UHD from Kino Lorber: https://kinolorber.com/product/hard-target-4k-uhd 'Hard Target' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/HardTarget1993Jean-Claude Van Damme profile on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/VanDammeKFMGJean-Claude Van Damme on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jcvd/John Woo on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_woo_filmmaker/'John Woo's Next Film Is ‘A Half-Musical' With Sparks', Empire Magazine: https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/john-woo-half-musical-sparks-exclusive/'Celebrate Renowned Hong Kong Action Classics, Storytellers, And Film Icons With Shout!

Today it's a Double Feature! Kicking off our discussion of the Mission: Impossible franchise, we're discussing Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible II. It's seriously impressive for a franchise to span nearly 30 years, multiple directors, and plenty of death defying stunts from lead actor Tom Cruise. We look back to the original Brian De Palma film to see the roots of the franchise, and we discuss the much more silly and ridiculous John Woo entry.    Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast founded by Isaac Ransom and Cameron Tuttle, co-hosted by film expert Juzo Greenwood.

“This message will self-destruct in five seconds…” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Megs & Liam (B-Tech Kev said something about needing to catch a flight to Atlanta) – as we don our sunglasses, rev up the motorcycles, and flip our hair in the wind for our 275th episode covering Mission: Impossible 2 (2000). We're trading thermal vision  for Chimera viruses and slow-motion stunts as we discuss: How Mission: Impossible 2 became the most John Woo movie that ever John Woo'd. Does this sequel hold up as a stylish thrill ride—or is it just all style, no substance? Is Ethan Hunt a superspy… or just a shampoo commercial with explosives? What exactly does an audience want to see out of a Mission: Impossible film exactly Which member of Ethan's crew we'd most likely be – and who's clearly channeling peak Dougray Scott vibes. Is this the weakest link in the franchise—or an underappreciated relic of early-2000s action excess? Is Ethan Hunt a character or just an avatar for Tom Cruise to do James Bondesque films Speaking of gripes—what exactly was Ambrose's plan again? We've got questions about masks, voice strips, motorcycles, and why no one seems fazed by endless slo-mo doves. We talk flamenco espionage, face-swapping twists, and the importance of always removing your sunglasses dramatically. Just how many actors were only in this film for the paycheck? Was Thandiwe Newton bad in this or is she just poorly written for and poorly directed? Is this the lustiest film in the Franchise? Whether Mission: Impossible 2 is the Best Film Ever.

Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news, you've already heard.In 1992 I was working night shift, which meant that on my days off I stayed up all night to keep my body in sync. What did you do to help you stay up all night in the 90's…well you either drank, or watched movies.I tended to do both.But I had a buddy that worked at a movie rental place and he was always hooking me up with the new releases. That's how I got my hands on an early home video release of John Woo's “The Killer.”That started my love and deep dive into GunFu. The Hong Kong Movie Genre of hyper violent and stylistic films focused around heroic bloodshed.So, when I saw the upcoming Backerkit release of Sisterhood – A Nuns with Guns TTRPG I was hooked.https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/parable-games/sisterhood-a-ttrpg-of-hard-boiled-nuns-exorcism-evil/launch_party?ref=update010325This thing looks really cool. Mix in a bunch of Nun Horror films with Hong Kong Action, A sprinkle of Constantine, Frank Miller's Sin City, and of course John Wick, and you get Sisterhood.This game hit Backerkit on March 13th, so you should still have time to get in and pledge if it interests you. As for me, I pledged the moment I heard the title.Christina, we have similar tastes in film, but I'm not sure if you love the Hong Kong Action as much as I do, what do you think about this one?[Kick to Christina]What about you Mike, are you breaking out the rosery for Sisterhood?[Kick to Mike] Next, we have an interesting article from Mike Tresca of EN World about creators reaching their fans and as he labeled it “The Coming Social Collapse”https://www.enworld.org/threads/rpg-evolution-the-coming-social-collapse.711928/Now I have never been a fan of social media. I watched “The Social Delima” the 2020 Documentary about social media and was properly terrified. My prior job unfortunately exposed me to all the dark and horrible places on the internet, so I always go into these conversations a bit guarded. This article focuses on fan engagement and the “For You” push of social media that can be a benefit, but it can also shut you down before you get started. The article says that the key is to cultivate Direct-to-Fan sales models, focusing on Community, and when you use social media be very strategic about its use.These are all great ideas, but in my experience, they are much easier said than done.I know this is going to be something Mike and Christina have strong opinions on so lets get started, Mike, Thoughts?[Kick to Mike]Christina?[Kick to Christina]And there you have it, All the news, you've already heard.

Executing a fight scene requires a lot of attention to detail, but spending time to get the right fight choreographer and stunt doubles to execute their vision can make for a rewarding watch. In the case of stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski, his directorial debut John Wick helped spark a franchise that moviegoers love due to its well-choreographed action. Although the series has become a common example of great fighting, there’s a whole host of other examples that date back decades. Hong Kong action cinema has given so much to the action genre, having helped popularize high-speed martial arts fighting for international audiences; through this style of filmmaking, audiences were introduced to filmmaker John Woo and actor Jackie Chan.
