We are getting into the dog days of summer, but fret not. We're searching for another popcorn classic today!
I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.
For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.
Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.

Let's get it on!

This may not be the most dangerous game, but hownos nevertheless survives to fight another day with the winning pick, Hard Target (1993), John Woo's English language directorial debut. JCVD headlines along with Lance Henrikson as a grizzled hunter, Wilford Brimley (RIP) as a kooky Cajun uncle, and an epic mullet adorning the star's head. Sam Raimi serves as executive producer, and his fingerprints show up in many scenes, creating an appealing gumbo of stylized Hong Kong action peppered with nutty Three Stooges-esque slapstick. Hard Target may not be a perfect prestige picture, but it definitely hits its mark.
