Everything Actioncast

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris crank the Cantopop and unleash a flock of doves to talk about John Woo's 1989 action classic The Killer as a new version, directed by Woo himself, hits Peacock.

Chow Yun-Fat stars as a skilled hitman, Ah Jong (or Jeff depending on your version) who blinds a singer, Jennie (Sally Yeh) while on a job. Feeling guilty, he seeks her out and begins a romantic relationship with her, taking what he thinks is one last job to make enough money to pay for a corneal transplant. On his trail is Inspector Li (Danny Lee), who reluctantly grows a respect and friendship with Jeff as the two cross paths and battle hordes of Triad henchmen. The guys talk about how cool Chow Yun-Fat is and his various looks, the incredible, over the top action, the dramatic shifts in tone, the wacky Disney nicknames Jeff and Li give each other, why it's basically impossible to find legally and more.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris sharpen their claws and discuss 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the first time Wade Wilson/Deadpool and Wolverine shared the screen before this weekend's Deadpool & Wolverine.

The fourth film released in Fox's X-Men franchise, X-Men Origins: Wolverine sought to show the origins of Logan (Hugh Jackman) and how he became the adamantium-clawed amnesiac we met in the first X-Men movie, which includes his relationship with his brother Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber). What we got was a mess of a film full of contradictions to things we already saw in the previous movies, atrocious CG, and the absolute abomination that is Weapon XI, aka Deadpool. The guys talk about all that, plus the only live-action appearance of Gambit, the fantastic opening credits, how the video game adaptation is the better version, the infamous workprint leak, and more.

Zach and Chris try to figure out Centauri's scheme for making money off Starfighter, celebrate the greatness of Grig (Dan O'Herlihy), the wacky adventures of Beta, the (at the time) cutting-edge CG effects, and more.

Seven years after the first movie, Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are a part of the Tactical Narcotics Team in Miami, trying to track down and stop the kingpin shipping in massive amounts of ecstasy into the city. Unknown initially to the Bad Boys, Marcus' sister Syd (Gabrielle Union) is working for the DEA undercover and getting close to Johnny Tapia (Jordi Molla), the Cuban druglord behind everything. Zach and Chris talk about how everything is ramped up to 11 in this sequel, the over-the-top action, Michael Bay's obsession with corpses, if you can drive up to Guantanamo Bay in a Hummer, the hit-or-miss comedic set pieces, and more.
