F/X (1986)
Finally, the special effects that are so important to every ABZ pick get their own movie! You might even say they are the main character of this week's pick. F/X is all about fictitious effects from movies you've never heard of in a world where Rocky II exists. Have you ever heard of the "Witness Protection Program"? Or guns shooting blanks?? The plot twists in this movie rely HEAVILY on those being new, exotic concepts. Buckle up Action Babyz for the Bryan Brown, Brian Dennehy action-thriller you never asked for but poses the question: Is it murder? Or is it F/X?

The software Dennehy’s researcher/partner used to pull SSNs did exist at the time. It was called PROMIS and it’s how the CIA/Mossad has backdoor access to anything connected to the internet to this day.
The dude that they think they recognize was the voice of smuckers jelly and jams commercials in the 80s 😂
Hell yeah
Happily married? Well... he's a lucky guy... That opening story has stayed with me for years. scumbags are hilarious
Holy crap, I just realized Mason Adams was the President in "The Final Conflict" (Omen 3)! Rectus! Dominus!
Was watching this last night and realized that the director was also responsible for another of my favorite middle of the road action gems, The Substitute. That one really needs the Action Boyz treatment.
"Ah, Happy Valentines day boys, what did you get for your sweeties?" 😂😂😂

Re-watching these Action Boyz movies makes me miss when movies used to have guys in unmarked cars put a flasher on top of the car and join a high speed chase.
Gun Van, haha
I'm glad we got Jason's backstory.
Enemy of the State
Good ep. I found an actual trailer for "I Dismember Mama". It's crazy. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEVvwPFyIWQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEVvwPFyIWQ</a>
It's in Rodgers' top three.
