MANLY Men... With MULLETS
Hmm. The mullet. A curious addition to the MANLY man. Popular still to this day, don't you know? Yes. Nobody had a mullet quite like 'THE BOZ', which is an ingenious knickname for American football player turned action movie star mullet-wearer Brian Bosworth. To the right of 'THE BOZ' is a Belgian who chews on snakes as snacks. What all this gibbering means is that Stone Cold and Hard Target are reviewed. Both of which feature Lance Henrikson as the bad guy. A - huh..A Huh huh huhhhhhhh...
Not to be out-manned is Dolph Lundgren. A Swedish MANLY man. One of his better films (not saying much, that) is Dark Angel, a ridiculous piece of early 90s excrement excitement. The image below is a truly diabolical cut and paste job used for a Spanish video cover. Poor, yet somehow fitting.
Now here's a curiosity... Below is a piece of information about a certain Steven Seagal. This information - real and untouched- is from a prominent movie information site situated on the interweb. The truth - like a badly-packed kebab - is sometimes hard to kill- I mean swallow. Bizarre information aside (just what are 'corrugated eyes', anyway?) Seagal's finest hour was in a nasty, very violent 1991 film called Out for Justice. No, really!
Annnnnnnd the Dutchman! Never one to be outdone, Rutger Hauer made a steaming heap of what was then known as 'straight-to-video' movies. Some were very bad indeed (Salute of the Jugger, anyone?) But one film that stands out during Hauer's "I don't care, I'll do it" phase is Split Second. Split Second is devisive. Some people think it's a terrible film, but I know different. Split Second is, much like Clint Eastwood's The Rookie, a parody. Yes! Yes it is! A tongue-in-cheek yarn to entertain the stoned masses. It is bad. It knows it. This is the charm.
