  Just to clarify: none of us cared that Anna Nicole Smith couldn't act.

  I loved Executive Decision as a kid. I was blown away that Seagal was killed off so early.

  Sudden Death (1995) is a really good Die Hard rip-off. It has some great stunts.

  I can't believe Allison Pregler isn't the one to tell me that a David Hasselhoff Die Hard ripoff exists

  I worked with Eric Roberts on a project several years ago. He was so kind and down to earth.

  Just want to point out that the guy who wrote and directed Baazi didn&apos;t make another movie for 6 years, but his next film &apos;Lagaan&apos;, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and won awards at the Berlin, European and Locarno Film Festivals.<br><br>Moral of the story: if at first you fail, keep trying.

  Holy <b>crap</b> that Born to Fight near-miss woke me right up. Death was absolutely on-site just in case the coin toss went the other way there.

  ...it just now occurred to me that &apos;McGruber&apos; is a combination of John McClane and Hans Gruber, and all it took was hearing the names McClane and Gruber said eight dozen times.

  The takeaway I have from this is that Jurgen Prochnow really got around in this particular sub-genre.

  Taking of Beverly Hills <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHVRFYFbCSo&amp;t=2511">41:51</a> &nbsp;- did that not get hurt by the collapse of Orion? The behind the scenes stuff on that movie is pretty interesting, the production built a huge chunk of replica city in the desert of Mexico - then just blew it up! The scene with Branscombe Richmond&apos;s mulleted bad guy chasing the hero around firing a flame thrower out a pick up makes it worth the effort to track it down alone.
