Unmasking The Idol (1986) brings us back to the world of superspy Duncan Jax for our final episode. In the precursor to BMFcast fave Order of the Black Eagle, Duncan and his team must stop Scarlet Leader from starting WW3 by invading his island lair. It’s a great time, and a fitting way to wrap up 15 years and 600+ episodes of fun. Thank you for gi…

The penultimate episode has us giving our top 10 BMFcast movies, but also gets turned over to you, the listeners, as we read and play many, many emails and voicemails from you all. We laugh, we cry, we learn some new things. It’s a lot, but that’s ok. We award the listeners 5 Jox! The post BMFcast599.5 – Mailbag Variety Hour – Good Luck on your GED…

China Strike Force (2000) lets us test The Coolio Principle in our penultimate episode. He and Mark Dacascos are gangsters who want a piece of China’s drug trade. Our heroes (Aaron Kwok & Leehom Wang) are there to put a stop to it. It’s from the director of Rumble in the Bronx (Stanley Tong) so we know the stunts will deliver. Will it deliver the J…

Bloodfist V: Human Target (1994) bids a fond farewell to Steve James, in his final feature film role. Don “The Dragon” Wilson is an amnesiac gunshot wound victim who everyone wants a piece of, on both sides of the law. Who was he working for? Why did he get shot? All will be answered, sort of, in one of those twisty, turns plots that could only com…

Cage (1989) returns Reb Brown and Lou Ferrigno to the show. It’s the story of two Vietnam vets who made it home, but one suffered brain damage saving the other. They now own a bar and get caught up in some very shady business involving cage fights. There’s a lot going on here and a bunch of familiar faces. Let’s hope that gets us to yell about Jox,…

Sugar Hill (1974) is our final Blaxploitation History Month movie, and thankfully it’s a banger. Diana “Sugar” Hill’s boyfriend is murdered by the mob. She then does what anyone would do; goes to her voodoo priestess grandmother, who calls on Baron Samedi to summon zombies to do Sugar’s revenging. Don’t sleep on this one, it’s a blaxploitation zomb…

Twin Sitters (1994) aka The Babysitters completes our journey through the twin filmographies of the Barbarian Brothers. This time our pair of giant men are tasked with protecting two rich twins whose uncle has angered a very shady George Lazenby. Hijinks, as always, ensue. Can these cartoon men and their much smaller wards charm us enough to get Jo…

Sworn to Justice (1996) has Cynthia Rothrock as a sexy criminal psychologist who witnesses the murder of her sister and nephew and gains psychic powers. She becomes a sexy vigilante who stops crimes while also being sexy multiple times. This is one weird, sexy movie. Is it sexy enough to get multiple Jox? PSA: Stay tuned to the end of this episode …

Red Sun Rising (1994) brings us Don “The Dragon” Wilson as a Japanese cop whose partner is killed by an assassin with supernatural powers (James Lew). When the assassin and his boss look to start a gang war in Los Angeles, it’s up to Don to stop them, with the help of Mako, Michael Ironside, and Terry Farrell. Can this movie death punch its way to …

Let’s Get Harry (1986) is the mostly forgotten story of a group of friends who hire a mercenary (Robert Duvall) to help them rescue their buddy Harry (Mark Harmon) who has been kidnapped by the Colombian drug cartel. Can an “all-star” cast (including Gary Busey) overcome a lot of behind the scenes drama during filming to make this one worth revisit…

Warhead (1996) is the story of a militia, led by Joe Lara (of Hologram Man fame), that takes over a nuclear missile silo and holds the US hostage unless the president resigns. Frank Zagarino (of Project Shadowchaser fame) is the man who can stop him. Can a lot of scenery chewing and incoherent action earn… Continue Reading BMFcast 591 – Warhead – K…

The Dungeonmaster (1984) aka Ragewar brings us back to the world of Charles Band, as a dorky computer programmer is challenged by the devil (the late, great Richard Moll) to a series of tests to prove that magic is better than technology. A bunch of loosely related anthology scenes ensue. Will the power of lasers… Continue Reading BMFcast 590 – The…

Evolver (1995) is a classic tale of boy plays VR game, boy meets girl who hates him, boy cheats to win VR tournament, boy wins robot, robot tries to kill boy, his mom, his kid sister, and the girl. It’s fun for the whole family, but is it Jox for the whole family? The post BMFcast 589 – Evolver – Chekov’s Kaleidoscope first appeared on Bad Movie Fi…

Deadly Friend (1986) is the story of a Doogie-Howser-esque robotics and AI genius who through a series of wildly inadvisable blunders sets a murderous-robot-brain-powered undead Kristy Swanson loose on an unsuspecting series of neighborhood jerks. All in the name of love, we think. We know Wes Craven can deliver on horror, but can he deliver… Conti…

Bloodmoon (1997) sees Gary Daniels return to the show as a retired detective who is called back into action when a serial killer begins taking out martial arts champions. He teams up with another martial artist detective (Chuck Jeffreys) to track down this steel-fingered killer. Will this follow-up from the director of Superfights (link to… Continu…

P.O.W. The Escape (1986) continues our journey through the filmography of Steve James. This time he’s stuck in a P.O.W. camp and it’s up to David Carradine to help him and his buddies escape. Double-crossing captains, wild card prisoners and, well, the Vietnam War all complicate matters. Will this Cannon joint deliver? The post BMFCast 586 – P.O.W.…

Royal Warriors (1986) aka In The Line of Duty 1 brings Michelle Yeoh to the BMFcast once again. She helps prevent a plane hijacking, which leads to a bizarre revenge plot against her and the other heroes on the flight. From there it’s pretty much an all-out stunt spectacular. Yeah, this movie is giving you… Continue Reading BMFcast 585 – Royal Warr…

Dunston Checks In (1996) is our tribute to the late Paul Reubens. An orangutan has checked in to the finest hotel in New York City, and he’s here to pull heists with the evil Rupert Everett. After befriending the son of Jason Alexander, it’s Dunston on the run as everyone, including Paul Reubens and Faye… Continue Reading BMFcast 584 – Dunston Chec…

Spiders (2000) has Lana Parrilla as a conspiracy theory obsessed reporter who investigates a space shuttle crash that may contain government-mutated spiders. Spoiler: it does! Of course, low-budget hijinks ensue. Sure, it feels like a Sci Fi Channel X-Files knockoff, but can a third act that goes PLACES push this into the upper tier of… Continue Re…

Land of the Free (1998) welcomes William Shatner to the BMFcast, along with decorated alumni Jeff Speakman. Speaks is the campaign manager(!) for The Shat, an politician with a militia and a secret network at his disposal. However, it’s another PM Entertainment joint, with the appropriate number of launched cars and painfully dispatched stuntmen. I…

Breathing Fire (1991) is about the eternal struggle between two children and their father over the fate of a plastic pizza that is the mold for a key to a vault which holds the proceeds of the father’s bank robbery. Oscar winner and all-around good dude Ke Huy Quan and Eddie Saavedra then enlist their… Continue Reading BMFcast 581 – Breathing Fire …

Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021) is finally a thing. Congrats internet, you did it I guess. And while we have wildly different opinions about this new cut of the 2017 film, we can both agree that we would prefer a smooth Superman. This episode was previously premium Patreon content which originally posted on March 22nd, 2021. The post BMFcast Ex…

Kickboxer 2 (1991) might be director Albert Pyun’s most competent movie, and it still doesn’t make a lick of sense. A third Sloan brother appears and Thailand thinks that the way to regain their honor is to trick this kid into a fight. This episode was previously premium Patreon content which originally posted on March 15th, 2021. The post BMFcast …

Mercenary (1997) stars action superstar Olivier Gruner and John Ritter (!) in a bizarre revenge tale cobbled together from other, better action films. But if you’re a fan of dudes getting launched into the air after an explosion, or pointless subplots about shoes… this might be the movie for you! This episode was previously premium Patreon… Continu…

Iron Eagle IV (1995) concludes the illustrious Iron Eagle quadrilogy as Chappy and Doug Masters (not dead!) reunite to reach these kids at a new flight school for troubled youths. This episode was previously premium Patreon content which originally posted on February 24th, 2021. The post BMFcast Extra 212 – Iron Eagle IV first appeared on Bad Movie…
