Sudden Death

“Terror goes into overtime.” After Die Hard rewrote the rules of the action movie, Hollywood started churning out thinly disguised knocks offs that replicated its plot in increasingly bizarre locations.

Among the topics of discussion: the wondrous villainy of Powers Boothe, improvised weapon making, and the never before seen sight of the Muscles from Brussels fighting a 7ft female penguin. They also look at one of the most operatic exploding helicopters ever committed to celluloid. Episode #25.
