Best of the 90's straight to video B movies.


This was always one of my favorite late night, straight to cable, B-action movies from a forgotten era when movies like this ruled the nights of Cinemax and HBO. I looked forward to movies like American Yakuza, and the flicks from companies like PM Entertainment and those Jack Scalia starring actioners. Tons of shootouts, at a time when hollywood was really starting to embrace and emulate, sometimes with success, the John Woo style. Loads of car chases with real stunt drivers and real pyrotechnics. They literally don't make 'em like this anymore, and that's a shame. I was already a fan of Viggo from the horror movie Prison, so anytime he showed up in something was cool with me.
I'll take another teaming of Roddy Piper and Billy Blanks over the CGI, high speed shutter, editing tricks that get in their own way nonsense movies that pass for action these days.
