When I first started the blog, it actually was that douche-quotient that made me want to put him in the hall of fame, because he's something of a cheeseball, which is funny to me. Since then I have seen some of his that are pretty good. You might like <a href="http://www.mattmovieguy.com/2009/04/bounty-tracker-1993.html" rel="nofollow"><i>Bounty Tracker</i></a>, co-starring Matthias Hues, or some of the <i>Snake Eaters</i>. That being said, again, I don't begrudge you not being a fan of his, or boycotting his work. There's plenty of other great DTV action out there, and you've been doing a great job hitting it without any Lamas films. I should point out though, that Steven Seagal has a bigger douchebag quotient, so keep that in mind for any future boycotts.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-25112671715353529322011-02-04T07:08:47.812-05:002011-02-04T07:08:47.812-05:00Great review Matt.

I'm not ashamed to admit this, but I've literally NEVER seen a Lorenzo Lamas movie and I feel that somehow I'm better off for it.<br /><br />I remember coming across his Renegade series on television all the time in the mid-90s and really finding he had the mega-douche quotient in spades. After reading up on him a little and finding that Loren Avedon had a rather unflattering anecdote to share about Lorenzo, I've completely sworn off the Lamas. If there are one or two flicks out there that are must-sees, I'll certainly reconsider but I don't anticipate dedicating 1200 words to a dude I couldn't care less about. I'd be bringing too much bias to the table.Karl Brezdinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504898646276737567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-16266845065519840562011-02-03T09:06:18.330-05:002011-02-03T09:06:18.330-05:00Yeah the "written by Thomas Ian Griffith"...Yeah the "written by Thomas Ian Griffith" thing made my ears perk up. Griffith has always been one of my favorites ever since Karate Kid 3 in which he gave one of the Greatest Performances EVER. His writing isn't too bad either (like Excessive Force) so I too am willing to guess that his script was probably f'ed with during filming.

Also, I totally forgot about Luke passing around his head shot. I think this was the time period when he wasn't working on <i>General Hospital</i>, and before he had that small part in <i>UHF</i>, so he needed to get his head shot out to anyone he could, and Lamas's mom being in the biz herself, was a good candidate to help her. His agent was probably insisting that he do that off screen, but when they needed something for him to write on, he was like "Oh, I've got plenty of these to use!"Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-70893989243675099752011-02-02T23:04:11.438-05:002011-02-02T23:04:11.438-05:00Nice review.

I know that that was what got a lot of readers in initially, based on Van Damme in <a href="http://www.mattmovieguy.com/2008/05/shepherd-border-patrol.html" rel="nofollow"><i>The Shepherd</i></a>. For people who don't know, upon my initial look at imdb for <i>The Shepherd</i>, one of the first tags I saw was "shirtless male bondage", and I realized that one of the screen caps I took was of Van Damme shirtless, tied up, and hanging upside-down. So, I figured I'd give a little shout out to any shirtless male bondage fans I had who were checking out the site, and it just kind of stuck as a joke theme for future posts. <br /><br />As an aside, I looked at my Google stats, and the exact phrase is "kristian alfonso boobs". Type that in and I'm second on the list. Also, they weren't her boobs in the film, but a stunt double's.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-72961451754182241042011-02-02T21:32:03.703-05:002011-02-02T21:32:03.703-05:00Yeah I didn't like this film too much myself, ...Yeah I didn't like this film too much myself, the fight sceenes at the end were decent enough and Kinmont and Foree both did the best with what they had, but for the most part this is a pretty dull and unimginative film with little to offer(though I still think it's better then those lame Swordsman films he did, those were even MORE boring then this film), I only saw it in the first place because my local library just happened to carry it and I was working my way up Lamas's filmography, Bad Blood, Blood For Blood, Mask Of Death and the Snakeeater films are all far superior to this film.venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632381738581803935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-73754905646842877982011-02-02T21:27:59.511-05:002011-02-02T21:27:59.511-05:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HP8Vd3GxvA I wish ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HP8Vd3GxvA I wish the trailer didn't give so much away but I really thought this was a very good movie.Kennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664118447662130586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-43899582920119528682011-02-02T21:22:38.030-05:002011-02-02T21:22:38.030-05:00"nude pics of Kristan Alfonso" I think ..."nude pics of Kristan Alfonso" I think that's how I got here myself. <br /><br />Besides we all know everyone who stumbles into the website is looking for shirtless male bondage. <br /><br />As for this movie, It stinks and I really have little to add. Also why they tortured Lamas' mother was stupid. I'm willing to guess that Griffith's script was solid (You will see when you see the Underrated noirish Ulterior Motives) but I would guess this got rewritten to death as soon as Lamas joined on. <br /><br />I do recommend Ulterior Motives highly to you though.<br /><br />Lastly, this movie was a rip off of not only Bloodsport but Cocktail. Indeed someone uttered the line "Bloodsport meets Cocktail with Lorenzo Lamas" and some idiot greenlighted it.<br /><br />It is a really boring movie and very stupid.Kennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664118447662130586noreply@blogger.com
