Also reminds me that I ha...I gotta check that out. Also reminds me that I haven't focused on taglines like I used to. Getting most of my films on Netflix means I don't see the box, which kind of takes some of the classic video store vibe away from it, which is a big part of why I got into this.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-80082149343208763752010-05-09T01:16:20.163-04:002010-05-09T01:16:20.163-04:00Great Dacascos Flick!

I found Slammed online, so I'll check that one out for you soon. Spike of Bensonhurst you're right, will be harder.Even under it's video title, Throw Back!, I couldn't find it.<br /><br />Mitchell, though, is a potential hall of famer because he's not even 43, and he hasn't done anything since ER in '05. Look at his bio too. I count maybe ten movies of his that merit inclusion, of which I've reviewed five. This is the DTVC Hall of Fame, not the hall of very good. Dacascos has a better shot, but I'd like more Drive and less Hunt for Eagle One, if you know what I mean.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-47547646034718231822010-01-29T00:37:53.457-05:002010-01-29T00:37:53.457-05:00This is one I've been to tell you about...Or w...This is one I've been to tell you about...Or wait I think I did. I thankfully bought this gem (for 10 bucks when it came out) and am shocked at the way people are willing to shell out 46 bucks, especially how the discland I frequent (in Minnesota) I can find it for 3.99. People on Amazon are just vultures. <br /><br />Anyway this is Dacascos' best work. Better than the overrated Crying Freeman, better than the terrible Double Dragon and better than the also overrated and terrible Only The Strong. In fact the weird thing, is that one of Dacascos' other bests Sabotage is so hard to find as well. Sabotage has Carrie Anne Moss (Pre Matrix) and once again...hard to find. You might have to go the VHS route. His recent Alien Agent was watchable, Cradle 2 The Grave was fun and I liked I Am Omega but a lot of his other stuff was crap. None worse than the abominable Boogie Boy which didn't even have him do martial arts. Dacascos though is a must for DTV hall of fame, as is Sasha Mitchell, as Kickboxer series demands such recognition. Plus you can totally review Slammed and Spike Of Bensonhurst with Sasha Mitchell, but obviously you haven't tried hard enough. :)Kennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664118447662130586noreply@blogger.com
