    Universal Soldier (1992)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris make sure they have plenty of ice on hand to discuss 1992's Universal Soldier as a new group of government super soldiers hit theaters in Onslaught. Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren co-star as Luc Devereux and Andrew Scott.  In Vietnam, Scott goes psychotic and slaughters his squad and civilians, and he and Devereux kill each other after a fight.  The men are put on ice and resurrected as Universal Soldiers, genetically modified super soldiers who conduct counter-terrorism operations.  When a reporter, Veronica Roberts (Ally Walker), gets caught trying to photograph evidence in a restricted area, her cameraman is killed by Scott, and Devereux's memories start to come back, causing him to rescue Veronica and go on the run with her while the rest of the unit tracks them to keep the details of the project classified at any cost.  Zach and Chris talk about the seemingly glaring weaknes of the UniSols constantly overheating, Jerry Orbach's lack of any explanation of how he created the UniSols, the massive destruction of mom and pop businesses, Dolph's love of grenades and more. You can watch Universal Soldier on Pluto TV, MGM+, FuboTV, or Sling.  Next week, we're discussing Cannon's spin on The Most Dangerous Game, Avenging Force, as it turns 40.

    Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, with Coyote vs. Acme finally hitting theaters, Zach and Chris discuss another Looney Tunes movie, 2003's Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Brendan Fraser stars as DJ Drake, the son of actor Damian Drake (Timothy Dalton), who plays a spy in movies and turns out to be a secret agent in real life as well.  Captured by the sinister CEO of ACME, Mr. Chairman (Steve Martin), DJ is tasked with finding the legendary "Blue Monkey" diamond that has the power to turn people into monkeys.  DJ has the recently fired Daffy Duck (Joe Alaskey) tagging along, and the pair are followed by Warner Bros. executive Kate Houghton (Jenna Elfman) and Bugs Bunny (Alaskey), who want Daffy to return to their in-production movie.  Zach and Chris try to figure out what Steve Martin is doing in his villain role, Yosemite Sam's awesome Las Vegas casino, the alien cameos in Area 52, and whether it would have been better as more of a Hollywood satire instead of a spy/action movie parody. You can buy or rent Looney Tunes: Back in Action on Prime Video, Apple TV, or Fandango.  Next week, we're getting ready for Onslaught by discussing a movie it may have taken some inspiration from: Universal Soldier.

    Everything Action Commentary: Carnosaur (1993)

    For the latest Everything Action Commentary, with two dinosaur-based movies in theaters this past month, The End of Oak Street and Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, Zach and Chris watched another prehistoric favorite, 1993's Carnosaur. Produced by Roger Corman and hustled quickly into theaters to come out before Jurassic Park, Carnosaur stars Diane Ladd as mad scientist Dr. Jane Tiptree.  She is fed up with humanity and has engineered a way for dinosaurs to return to repopulate the Earth after humans are eliminated by a lethal virus.  Alcoholic night watchman Doc Smith (Raphael Sbarge) gets caught up in her scheme when deadly dinosaurs start killing people near the quarry he protects.  While watching the movie, Zach and Chris discuss how Diane Ladd is delivering a feature-length villain monologue, the bizarre DARPA Bond villain set, whether Doc is the worst night watchman in history, the constantly shifting size of the dinosaur puppets, and more. You can sync up the version of Carnosaur we watched on YouTube below to our commentary track and watch along with the Everything Action crew. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9qNr7YQgIY We want to hear your comments and feedback.  Send them all to contact@everythingaction.com.  Also, let us know your movie suggestions for discussion.

    The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

    This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris have the urge to Purge and discuss 2014's The Purge: Anarchy as the romantic comedy version of the concept, One Night Only, hits theaters. The second film in the franchise, The Purge: Anarchy takes place during the 2023 Purge as Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) gets ready to hunt down the man who killed his son but gets sidetracked rescuing several characters caught on the streets during the chaos; estranged couple Liz (Kiele Sanchez) and Shane (Zach Gilford) and single mom Eva (Carmen Ejogo) and her daughter Cali (Zoë Soul).  The group makes their way through downtown Los Angeles, dodging psychotic Purgers and government kill squads.  Zach and Chris discuss how this movie realized the full potential of the concept set up in 2013's The Purge, how Leo is basically The Punisher, why anyone would choose a melee weapon for The Purge, the surprisingly solid USA TV series, and more. You can rent The Purge: Anarchy on Amazon, Apple TV, YouTube, and Fandango at Home.  Next week, we're celebrating 40 gooey years of David Cronenberg's The Fly. 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.
