"Game over, man. Game over!"
HOW TO TELL . . .
Are you a
FREAK
or just a FAN?
Action Movie Fans can watch
other genres in comfort.
Action Movie FREAKS will start shifting in their seats 10 minutes into a movie
where nothing has crashed
or been blown up yet . . .
Action Movie Fans can quote
a few one-liners from a few
popular action movies.
"I'll be back!"
"Make My Day!"
Action Movie FREAKS
try to work
their favorite quotes into
conversation all the time!
"God has his tricks, but getting
[paper jams out of copiers],
that's one of mine.*"
Action Movie Fans have watched their favorite action movies
a handful of times.
Action Movie FREAKS can recite
the entire opening scene
word-for-word from at least 2 movies
they're obsessed with!
"The Hovitos are near, the poison is still fresh—3 days, they're following us . . . "
"They are an army, unlike any other, crusading across the stars
toward . . . "
And if you can easily finish
this
entire quote:
"I know what you're thinking,
did he fire
6 shots,
or only 5 . . . "
just admit it now,
you're an
Action Movie FREAK!
(That quote should be required memorization if you're
going to call yourself
an
Action Movie FREAK!)
Action Movie Fans can stomach
most movie violence.
Action Movie FREAKS
will clap when the action reaches its gross-out best!
Remember the incredible opening of Ninja Assassin . . .
What's that? You didn't see "Ninja Assassin"?
Then you're an
Action Movie Fan.
Let's start again.
Remember the incredible opening of
Ninja Assassin, which ended when the blood splatter becomes
the title
you knew it was coming, but you clapped anyway!
(Yes, true
Action Movie FREAKS
clap when the violence is really good
like horror movie fans laugh when it gets really gross)
If, right about now, you're shaking your head or laughing, you're an
Action Movie fan.
If you're all fired up . . .
"HELL YEAH!"
"Welcome
to the Jungle!"
You're an
Action Movie
FREAK!

The Devil Himself Wants This Boy
GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE is
visually stunning, from the overall look of it with the intense
colors, creative cut outs, collages, and camera angles, to the
details like the absolutely bad-ass wardrobe of worn leather, to the
stunts like Idris
Elba's slow-mo fall backwards while shooting (as often as we've
seen that original
Dar Robinson move, it was a stand out, and
delivered not only, surprisingly, SURPRISE, but impact—it says a lot
that they made this move fresh, and that it was so bad ass, that it's
still bad ass). I saw the movie in 2D thinking that if I
didn't think 3D would have added anything, I would have been smart
and saved the difference in the price of admission, but if it seemed
like it would have been good in 3D then I could always pay to see it
again. And will I! It delivered beyond my expectations
on every level.
SCRIPT . . .
The set up was right up front where it should be: "Bring
us the boy and we will lift your curse." Thank you.
No :45 minutes of wondering where it's going. I love when you know
what's at stake for the character so you can be invested in what
he's trying to do and give a damn whether or not he gets there,
hoping all the while for a few twists and turns even when it's
predictable. Check and check.
CAGE-INESS . . .
This scene alone, where Cage is riding while his face morphs in and
out of being the Rider, is seriously worth the price of admission.
Cage fans will be Oh So Satisfied. The flame-thrower
peeing scene from the preview was even better in the movie (how
often does that happen?!). It was a father-son/guy/penis
bonding moment that made me wonder about the fact that there
probably is, sadly, no female equivalent, and which was classic
Cage. I am a huge
Nicolas Cage fan. There is no one as entertaining to
watch. If anything, I would have loved more Cage. It was
strangely fascinating to watch his moves in the The Rider scenes
and to see Cage come through. In one scene he's
kind of dancing as only he can. If you don't appreciate what only Nicolas Cage
can bring to
a role like this, you're missing out.
SPECIAL EFFECTS . . .
Even though this is the second movie, the novelty of the flames
and the skull on fire didn't get old for me. Excellent job
to whoever managed to make fire as fascinating as it really is. This
spitting bullets moment from the preview, still satisfied.
Love it when the preview doesn't ruin it for you. Even though
they showed this, and you knew it was coming, it was still
incredible to watch. And when
The Rider cranks up the giant digging machine (HOLY HELL!), it's jaw dropping, and if it
wasn't for you, it should be. I loved that he's un-killable and how
he smokes when hurt. The special effects are seamless. Even
though I know we are suspending disbelief, I never felt pulled out
of the story because the effects fell down. The sound of the
motorcycle engine was exciting and strangely satisfying. Overall I
loved the sound effects. My only tiny criticism is that
the music should have dominated more when the Rider operated the
digging machine. I feel the song was a good choice and it would
have punctuated it more than the real scene sounds that competed
with and drowned out
the music too often. It felt a little like someone wanted real
sounds and someone wanted the song, and this was a compromise that
didn't work as well as the song would have.
ACTION MOVIE FREAK-INESS . . .
• with a side order of cheese, please.
Cheesy one-liners were
sprinkled throughout, and sometimes came in visual form, like Jerry
Springer, the twinkie, and yet another surprise: Christopher
Lambert. They cleverly worked in "fire wall"
and "road
kill". Loved "The apple doesn't rot far from the
tree." Classic Cage attitude: "So, that happened",
and "These guys are gonna lift my curse? They don't even have
shoes." "Did we win? I'm gonna say yes. Hell yes!"
• It is my opinion that Action Movies that
deliver the most satisfying experience do so when there are
lessons to be taught or learned. This movie was a perfect
example of that. "This power that we have comes from a dark
place, but it's not who we are." The religious tones gave depth
and meaning. Cage's character is a little Christ like. "Where you
go now, I cannot follow." We love a bad guy who fights for the
right reasons. Without spoiling the ending, I thought the movie was
obviously headed in one direction but then they turned it around.
Although I could still see it coming, I still appreciated that they didn't
go the obvious route and it happened late enough that it kept my
interest right up until the end.
• Gnarly Kills—there were so many. The ways in which people
die are interesting. The chain kills are really wicked. The most satisfying kill for me was another
surprise. When the mother plays the typical weak female to her
advantage and throws a knife at a bad guy with a guy, you and the
bad guy think "how lame" and let your guard down. Turns out she had
a gun the whole time and it was just an (effective) distraction.
(Brought to mind the scene where Indiana Jones shoots the guy with
the big knife rather than use the whip.) Although the mother
has one all-too-typical weak female scene where after she is
beaten she lays on the ground too long, writhing, mouth open
seductively (As a female I have to say "Eew! why?"), they redeem it
later when she is a bad Mamma Jamma using a sniper rifle.
• Car Chases and Stunts—There were lots of great car chases
and crashes. And, there were two great payoffs for whatever The
Rider drives also bursts into flames.
Everything happened so fast,
I think you really should see this movie twice to appreciate it all.
I know I won't have to twist Cage-fans' arms. The pacing reminded me
of Crank in the best way. So get out your Action Movie
checklist and go see it. You'll want seconds. (This is your
brain on Ghost Rider 2 . . . )

Chronicles of Riddick
Fight Choreography
 Exciting
News!
Dave Bautista
is going to be in the new Chronicles of Riddick movie! I wrote
the paragraph below about the big fight scene in 2004's
The
Chronicles of Riddick, but I wonder how much of the credit I
give to
Vin Diesel might belong to Troy Robinson (yes,
Dar Robinson's son) or to Troy Connelly?
Nonetheless, all are gifted! What I'd really like to know
is who came up with the flying two-fisted decapitation move?
From the credits on IMDB, it's hard to tell:
Stunts
Bradley James Allan .... stunt fight coordinator
Bob Brown .... stunt coordinator (as Robert Francis Brown)
Dean Choe .... stunt coordinator
Marny Eng .... stunt coordinator: second unit
Paul Lazenby .... fight instructor
Paul Rapovski .... fight coordinator: Kali de Leon
Troy Robinson .... stunt double: Vin Diesel (as Troy Jess
Robinson)
Tim Connolly .... fight double: Vin Diesel
BALLET OF DEATH
Fight scenes . . . what we live for when we watch a really good
action movie. Think about how many there have been and you
begin to appreciate how hard it must be to deliver when the time
comes for one. Director David Twohy said if we'd seen it before
he didn't want to use it. To the credit of everyone who helped
to make it seem so: This fight scene is Vin Vin Vin. It's a
ballet of death, dished out with double blades wielded with
efficiency and lightning speed. The animal side takes over and
it seems he knows what to handle first and how. Sure it's
choreographed, but it had to be thought up, and it had to be
played just right by everyone so it looks like it's real.
And it looks real mainly because Vin is selling it. And how!
It takes more than athletic prowess, ass-kicking strength, and
fierce determination to pull this off. You have to be gifted. An
actor could rehearse over and over, but to make it look this
effortless, it's a gift. He decimates the ranks and with
his double blades in hand, pulls off a flying two-fisted
decapitation on one soldier, and then lands both blades into
the chest of another! And then he faces Lord Vaako. Vaako has
one back-cracking kill and a spiraling jump from a prone
position that exceed all expectations. For me, the whole movie
is a wind-up to this one incredible non-stop all-out fight
scene. How it ends is creative and calls into play the mark of
the rage of the entire Furyan race.
"Aaah, the Riddick [Fight Choreography]!"

The Evolution of Action Movies
What makes an Action Movie GOOD ?
Recently,
HAYWIRE, ACT OF VALOR,
and a video from
ACTIONFEST,
came together for me with comments by
ActionFest
co-Founder Aaron Norris.
•
HAYWIRE
I had great hopes that HAYWIRE would be a breakthrough Action
Movie
that would bring women out to see a truly physically strong
woman in a lead role, and awaken that sleeping-giant market.
It had all the right elements . . . or did it?
 It
had a
good Director, big-name male stars (lots), a
simple-but-intriguing story line, and, most importantly, the
lead character was played by a
real-life powerhouse female. Shouldn't that be enough? So
what happened?
From an Action junkie's perspective bad movie happened. The Director
was not an Action Director, and it showed. Plus, there was
no
Second Unit Director.1
Fight Choreographer J.J. Perry did a great job but the
big-name male stars either were slow in the fight scenes (sorry
guys) or were filmed before they were ready. And, the
storyline was tortured. Maybe I was just tired when I watched
it, but the plot was confusing and seemed intentionally obfuscated
to ill effect (sorry
Lem Dobbs). There were too many characters and no
meat. By the time I got to the end and realized Mallory was
talking about Ewan McGregor's character (He's
"Kenneth"?!
What?!), I realized I had already stopped caring after she
explained all that stuff in the car to her 'hostage'—they got caught
anyway, so what was the point of telling him all that? As a plot
device,
telling a story while driving
in an
Action Movie is, well . . . Zzzzzz.
HAYWIRE made me realize that
the things that make an average movie good are NOT what make an
Action Movie good.
It also made me see that if you want to make a really good Action
Movie, it helps to have people who
know and value Action and the importance of its place in the movie.
Maybe this movie was intended to be more Thriller than Action, but
if that was the case, it was hurt ($-wise2)
by a huge missed opportunity! I know my criticism may seem
harsh to those who worked so hard on this film, and, no, I
have never tried to do what they did, however, I am an Action Movie
Freak and I'd like to think I
know what Action Fans are looking for.

ACT OF VALOR
Speaking of what Action Fans are looking for . . . if you've seen
the preview for
ACT OF VALOR, you were probably as blown away as I was. Watch
below if you haven't seen it yet before you read further. It, too,
is possibly a breakthrough
Action Movie.
The Directors of ACT OF VALOR—and I am quoting
from
Aaron Norris
(who would know better?!) on the
Actionfest Blog—are "STUNTMEN!
Mike 'Mouse' McCoy and
Scott Waugh . . . the real deal." This movie
looks like what Action Movie Freaks worship Rambo and
Predator
for. It's a
SOLDIER movie of the best kind.
What will put it over the top is if the storyline makes us care. The
'Actors' are
"Active Duty Navy Seals". How interesting that they used
'Actors' who know what they are doing. "The story is fictional
but the weapons and tactics are real." I'm afraid to say it, but
"How can this fail?" Acting in Action Movies is both overrated and
underappreciated. By that I mean Action Movies where the
acting is bad but the Action is awesome still satisfy, and Actors
and Stuntmen (and others) in Action Movies never get any recognition
by the Oscars. [Best Assistant Director (considered below the
2nd Unit3)
was given only in 1933-37, and as a Proposed Category Best Stunt
Coordination was rejected in 1999 and again in 2005.]
•
STUNTWORK
Action Movies are evolving. While
Motion Capture Actors also
suffer the same snubbing as Stuntmen, CGI will never replace the wow
factor of real stunt work. There's no comparing a man really
being on fire to a CGI version of that.
This is where
ActionFest comes in. Being at ActionFest and
the thrill of seeing a man set on fire makes you realize
real stunt work has no equal.
This video brought to mind the real driving stunts from
The Transporter as compared to the recent
Ghost Protocol glove/climbing scene which
underestimated the intelligence of its audience by abusing the
suspension of disbelief. We want to think an Actor did a stunt even
if he didn't, but as long as somebody does it, it still works.
When it's faked or completely unbelievable, it takes us out of the
moment and back to reality.
From their site: "ActionFest is the first
film festival in the world devoted exclusively to action film.
And ActionFest is the only film festival in the world that
honors the stuntmen and stuntwomen
who take the punches, falls and crashes that make ordinary actors
appear superhuman on screen. Historically the film industry has
refused to recognize the stuntmen and stuntwomen, the stunt
coordinators, and the 2nd unit directors, and their
 contribution to
filmmaking. That was before ActionFest. At ActionFest we recognize,
honor and appreciate the remarkable efforts of these amazing people
who risk their lives every day to make big Hollywood films look
exciting and great. ActionFest’s mission is two-fold: to honor these
unsung heroes of Hollywood; and to show the best action films from
around the world."
[Aside:
If you love Action Movies, ActionFest is over the legal limit on
fun. Spending 3 days and 4 nights mainlining Action Movies is so
worth the price of admission! Ask now for time off to
visit Asheville, April 12-15, 2012 and experience it for
yourself. An all-inclusive VIP pass is under $100 (prices
have not been announced yet but I'm basing it on the last 2
years), or be a big shot and
become a Sponsor.

Directors vs
Action Directors
I became aware of the value of a good Second Unit Director
after I saw
Final Destination 2 (2003, not considered "Action"), because
it was only the second movie
David R. Ellis
directed. I remember thinking how awesome that such a big-career
Second Unit Director got to direct! (His film list is beyond
impressive.) The car crash scenes are so crazy good (the movie
is good all around!!), how could you not become a David Ellis Fan?
Yes! I thought, more Second Unit Directors should get to direct,
however, stupidly, the importance of whether or not a Director had
an Action background or experience in Action Movies never mattered
to me until I saw HAYWIRE.
Of course, there are great Directors who are
known for Action Movies who are also great at other genres, but it
all came together for me that Action Movies need Action-minded
Directors after reading these remarks by
Aaron Norris:
"Studios will give a writer, a Director of
Photography, an Editor, or Special Effects person a directorial.
Just about anyone other than
[emphasis added] stuntmen get chances at directorial debuts.
They will hire a person who shot one or two commercials and give
them a $50 million picture. Give me a break! Stuntmen and
Stuntwomen who Stunt Coordinate and 2nd Unit Direct have been
making directors look good since the invention of film."
FINAL DESTINATION 2 CRASHES
•
Actors vs Stuntmen
In HAYWIRE, even if the story sucked but the Action was good I might
have been happy, but the choreography in the Action scenes was so obviously
showing. People waiting for someone else to make their movie, standing
still and not reacting, etc. It looked to me like 99% of it was not because of
Gina, but because of everyone else. The men fought like they didn't want to hurt
her. She came off as the only one who looked like she knew what she was doing
(except the stuntman in the hallway fight scene). She's an MMA Fighter and an
American Gladiator, she knows how to fight. Even so, they needed more
rehearsing. It seems like they went to print before they were ready, and it
left me wondering about the Director. Could he just not see that the fight
scenes weren't good enough (I mean the practice, not the creation, of the moves)
or did he think it didn't matter? In this kind of movie (selling a
stronger female), the fight scenes
have to work. They were already halfway there because Gina
was physically believable, but then they put her against
Michael Fassbender
and it was a joke. He looks like a soft smoker. It might as well
have been Jeremy Irons. Channing Tatum was a bigger disappointment.
It sure looked like he held back. His seeming less-than-all performance made
Gina look bad.
HAYWIRE and ACT OF VALOR really emphasized the
value of using real stuntmen versus Actors, and the value of having
an Action-minded Director. Before, I thought what makes an Action
Movie good were mainly
these things: Now I feel a great Action Movie
needs as much of that as possible, but even more: It needs an
Action-minded Director and 'Actors' who can sell the Action. I
think CGI has made it too easy for non-Action minded Directors to
think they/anyone can make an really good Action Movie. So not
true. It's exciting to me that HAYWIRE using Gina (and an
ex-military fight choreographer), and ACT OF VALOR using Navy Seals
(with Stuntmen directing), might be the beginning of a NEW ERA
for ACTION—One where those in the know shine at what they do,
and outshine those who only think they do. Where audiences begin to
appreciate the elements that make Action Movies the most popular
genre on the planet, and not attribute their success to a big-name
Director or Actor alone. And best of all, a new era with lots of
Kick-Ass Action Movies starring Stuntmen and truly strong
women! As an Action Movie Freak, I'm not buying it anymore
that we need a big-name Actor/star who can't do these things. Those
days are gone. I want to see the men and women who can! You just
know there are more Stuntmen who can act than Actors who could do
their own stunts. It's a Action Revolution, baby!

IMDB's glossary offers these minimal and seeming minimizing
definitions:
Second Unit A
small, subordinate
crew responsible for filming
shots of
less importance, such as
inserts,
crowds, scenery, etc.
Second Unit Director
The
director
of the
second unit.
Excerpted From Wikipedia:
[In
film, the SECOND UNIT is a team that shoots
subsidiary footage for a motion picture. Its work is
distinct from that of the first unit, which shoots all scenes
involving principal actors. In addition to shooting
establishing shots, close-ups, inserts, and cutaways, second units
also film in locations too expensive or dangerous
to send the first unit to. Often this involves stunts and
close-ups with body doubles . . .. The second unit has its own
director and cinematographer.
The SECOND UNIT DIRECTOR is
. . . considered
above the post of Assistant Director. As Second units oversee
many
dialogue-free scenes with stunts and special effects in
action movies, the job of stunt coordinator is often combined
with that of second unit director. As a result, many
second unit directors are former stunt coordinators.

The next Chronicles of Riddick is filming!
 Vin
Diesel shared this photo on his
Facebook page. Made my
day! Can't wait for the story to continue . . . Follow him for
updates on the movie. He posts regularly and it seems like it's
really him.
Also follow Director
David Twohy's blog
for rare posts that may, hopefully, pick up (if he has time) now
that they are filming. "7 DAYS AND COUNTING January 15,
2012 A lot of you already know how close we are to rolling camera on
RIDDICK."
At Last!! Here comes a truly
powerful woman kicking ass. I'm not saying all women have
to or should look like the American Gladiator powerhouses here,
but this is the kind of woman women want to see more of on
screen. Women like: the real deal strength-wise Valerie "Siren"
Waugaman (second from left) my pick for Red Sonja (see
Seeing Red Over Sonja) over
someone selected to please men like Rose McGowan; and like the
star of HAYWIRE (third from left) Gina "Crush" Carano.
It's out!
AllOuttaBubbleGum.com's
2nd annual list of the
Top 100 Action Movies
was posted today, and here are the results (condensed).
Looks like the combination of John Woo and Chow Yun
Fat is best, holding the first spot and tied for the second.
If you LOVE this, listen to like-minded fun on
their podcast.
The list is a little Western heavy (I can't argue they are
not great movies though with great Action and definitive
Bad-Ass
characters.) Rambo is the only series where ALL the movies
made the list. To celebrate that is the best tribute video
