    The Monster Squad (1987)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, with The Bride! hitting theaters and bringing some of the classic monsters into the 1930s, Zach and Chris discuss 1987's The Monster Squad, which brought the likes of Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster into the 80s. Directed by Fred Dekker and written by Dekker and Shane Black, The Monster Squad sees a group of kids obsessed with monster movies having to take on monsters for real when Dracula (Duncan Regehr) arrives in their town looking to destroy a magical amulet that would shift the balance of the world to evil and let him and his fellow monsters rule.  Zach and Chris discuss the awesome, legally distinct Stan Winston creature designs, the late Tom Noonan's heartwarming portrayal of Frankenstein's Monster, how Rudy (Ryan Lambert) is doing 90% of the work for the Squad, the fantastic Michael Sembello soundtrack songs, and more. You can watch The Monster Squad on Prime Video or on YouTube for free.  Next week, we're making an Executive Decision and talking about the 90s action thriller for its 30th anniversary.

    Rumble in the Bronx (1995)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head to the mean streets of Vancouver and discuss the 1995 Jackie Chan classic Rumble in the Bronx, which just celebrated the 30th anniversary of its US debut. The film that brought Jackie Chan into the mainstream in the West, Rumble in the Bronx finds the martial arts legend playing Keung, who comes to the US to attend his Uncle Bill's (Bill Tung) wedding and finds himself under attack from a local motorcycle gang and, later, a crime syndicate run by the ruthless White Tiger (Kris Lord).  Zach and Chris discuss the insane locations, including the night club with a live tiger, how getting run over by a hovercraft doesn't seem that bad, Danny (Morgan Lam) playing a Game Gear with no game in it, the surprisingly brutal scene where Jackie gets pelted with glass bottles, and more. You can rent or buy Rumble in the Bronx on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.  Next week, with The Bride! coming out in theaters and transporting The Monster and The Bride to the 1930s, we're discussing the 1987 cult classic The Monster Squad, which brought almost all the Universal Monsters into the 80s.

    Everything Action Commentary: Panda Plan (2024)

    To celebrate the Lunar New Year this month, Zach and Chris watched the 2024 Chinese action comedy Panda Plan for the latest Everything Action Commentary. Jackie Chan stars as a fictionalized version of himself, who is invited to an island zoo to adopt a new baby panda with extremely rare eye color.  The celebration is interrupted by armed mercenaries, who have been hired by a wealthy client to kidnap the panda.  Jackie, along with his bumbling manager, David (Wei Xiang), and panda nanny, Su Xiaozhu (Shi Ce), has to protect the baby panda, Hu Hu, and stay one step ahead of the mercenaries. While watching the movie, Zach and Chris discuss the massive amount of Dairy Queen product placement, the "high-speed" forklift chase, milking a rhinoceros, the shockingly violent film Jackie is filming before heading to the zoo, the massive emotional twist at the end, and more. You can watch Panda Plan on Tubi and sync up the commentary track to watch along.

    The Hitcher (1986)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris catch a ride with 1986's The Hitcher as it celebrates its 40th anniversary. Rutger Hauer stars as John Ryder, a terrifying hitchhiking serial killer who targets Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell), who is on the road trying to deliver a car from Chicago to San Diego.  Ryder starts to stalk and terrorize Jim, pushing him to the edge and trying to get him to finally snap and kill Ryder.  Zach and Chris discuss Hauer's amazing performance, the odd business of drive-away car delivery, the bizarre cut-away from the most horrific moment in the film, how everyone in the area besides Jennifer Jason Leigh's Nash is a trigger-happy cop, and more. You can watch The Hitcher on Cinemax, but the quality is horrific, so your best bet is physical media.  Next week, we're celebrating both the Lunar New Year and the 30th anniversary of Rumble in the Bronx, the movie that finally made Jackie Chan a superstar in the West. We want to hear your comments and feedback.  Send them all to contact@everythingaction.com.  Also, let us know your movie suggestions for us to discuss.

    Broken Arrow (1996)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris deal with a Broken Arrow situation and discuss John Woo's 1996 action classic for its 30th anniversary. Christian Slater and John Travolta star as Riley Hale and Vic "Deak" Deakins, who co-pilot the stealth bomber.  On an exercise where they are transporting live B83 nuclear bombs, Deak turns traitor and tries to kill Riley, ultimately ejecting him from the plane.  Deak has had an elaborate plan in place to steal the nukes and ransom them back to the US government, or else he'll detonate a bomb in a city.  Riley teams up with park ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis) to stop Deak and recover the nukes.  Zach and Chris discuss the ridiculous opening boxing match between Riley and Deak, Riley and Terry never introducing themselves to each other until the final scene, the arrow-like design of the nuclear bomb core, the big acting debut for Howie Long, and more. You can watch Broken Arrow on Prime Video.  Next week, we're catching a ride with The Hitcher and discussing the horror/thriller cult classic for its 40th anniversary.

  6. F/X (1986)

    FEB 6 · VIDEO

    F/X (1986)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris use some movie magic and discuss the 1986 action thriller F/X, which came out 40 years ago this week. Bryan Brown stars as Rollie Tyler, a movie special effects artist who is recruited by the Department of Justice to help fake the murder of a mafia informant in witness protection.  Rollie pulls off the job, but the DoJ tries to kill him, and they murder his girlfriend, Ellen (Diane Venora).  NYPD detective Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy) investigates Ellen's death and starts to figure out that there might be some corrupt government agents behind everything.  Zach and Chris discuss how it's a bit odd for the movie to take place in New York City and not Los Angeles, the clunky nature of 80s special effects technology, Rollie getting a bunch of innocent people killed, using special effects as weapons in the finale, and more. You can watch F/X on Tubi and Pluto TV.  Next week, we've got a Broken Arrow as we discuss John Woo's 90s classic for its 30th anniversary.

  7. The Mechanic (2011)

    The Mechanic (2011)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris make things look like an accident and discuss 2011's The Mechanic, which came out 15 years ago this week, and just as a new Statham movie, Shelter, hits theaters. A remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson film, Jason Statham stars as Arthur Bishop, a "Mechanic" who is contracted to pull off elaborate assassinations, most of which are designed to look like accidental deaths.  Forced to kill his mentor, Harry McKenna (Donald Sutherland), Arthur takes Harry's angry son, Steven (Ben Foster), under his wing and trains him in the art of assassination.  Zach and Chris discuss differences between this version and the Bronson version, Ben Foster's belief that he can take on a massive Arena football player in hand-to-hand combat, how this feels more like a Hitman video game adaptation than the actual Hitman movies, David Leitch vs. Statham, and more. You can watch The Mechanic on Paramount+, Philo, or MGM+.  Next week, we're learning the deadly art of illusion and discussing 1986's F/X, which is turning 40. We want to hear your comments and feedback.  Send them all to contact@everythingaction.com.  Also, let us know your movie suggestions for us to discuss.

    Everything Action Commentary: Primal Rage (1988)

    With 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple coming out this month, Zach and Chris checked out another movie that features a "rage virus", 1988's Primal Rage, for the first Everything Action Commentary of 2026. A joint Italian-American production, Primal Rage stars Patrick Lowe as Sam Nash, a Florida International University student and reporter/photographer for the school paper, alongside his friend Frank Duffy (Mitch Watson).  While investigating Dr. Ethridge's (Bo Svenson) lab, Duffy is bitten by a baboon that Ethridge was experimenting on, and slowly turns into a rage-fueled zombie.  Spreading the virus to his date, Debbie (Sarah Buxton), Sam and his girlfriend, Lauren (Cheryl Arutt), have to track them down and work with Dr. Ethridge to find a cure before the school's Halloween Bash becomes a massacre.  While watching the movie, Zach and Chris discuss the 80s sitcom-style opening, the insane trio of school bullies, the elaborate Halloween costumes, the crazy soundtrack, and more. You can watch Primal Rage on Tubi, Philo, The Roku Channel, and more.  You can also watch the version below from YouTube and sync it up with our commentary to watch along. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLCN2AHxnnA We want to hear your comments and feedback.  Send them all to contact@everythingaction.com.  Also, let us know your suggestions for movies for us to discuss.
