Cliffhanger (1993)
Christmas has come early this year ActionBabyz! CLIFFHANGER this week - what a fucking gift. Is there anything better than Sly playing lifelong mountain man and local celebrity climber, Gabe Walker? He spent his whole life in those mountains, can't you tell by his accent? Who is the better pilot to have crash land your plane; Sully, Kristel or Denzel Washington (the actor, not the character he played) from FLIGHT? Listen to find out but don't bother to buckle up - you may not want to survive this.

If this movie had better character work (aka almost any, outside the lady falling and everyone's reaction there's nothing to any character in the movie) this could be remembered as one of the great action movies. Never had seen it, surprised how well done a lot of the action sequences were despite the lack of investment in any character. The movie is still almost 2 hours so something needs to be done differently somewhere, but anyways still fun.
Autosexuals... Let's go! (Transformation sound effect)
Cliffstanger the prequel
I read this today, it's about Stallone and the legacy of mid-budget action: https://www.ft.com/content/4d69c26d-254f-4b20-99b3-18251dda6c8b
Best cold open ever. Wish they were all that short. Also bring back Stanger Bot/Gorgon...best part of the show.
Hell yeah
It’s a short part of the movie, but the rappelling sequence is still awesome to watch. Great music cues, well shot, and it looks legitimately both terrifying and kinda fun.
Im named Fred irl and can't believe 'Fred Skull' has never occured to me. "BETTER DEAD THAN FRED"
I loved the references to paintings, and the metaphor for which the references were used. Stanger, you would really appreciate the work of John Kacere. Maybe get a really nice one for your office, if you have a big enough wall.
Dope ass ep! So funny
Just wanna say Gabrus' reference to Battleship Potemkin on CBB was fucking hilarious.
Greatest day of an Action Boyz life I’ll listen 100 times about as many as I’ve watched Cliffhanger Ps Stangerbot !!! Seasons over Asshole!!
STANGER - I'M NOT MAD BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT FRED WARD IS THE GUY FROM TREMORS AND FRED WILLARD IS THE GUY WHO LIKES JERKING OFF.
Hi Frank, Fred Willard, nice to meet you.
Gabrus' street sounds like a real life Paper Boy map. The Nintendo game, not the Nicole Kidman piss freak movie.
The amount of insane stories Rodgers has is impressive. I love it and love that he's lived a nearly cartoon like existence.
I was legit fucking tense during that story.
Sweet Mitch Hedberg “Dr. Acula” reference Gabrus
quickest cold open yet?
WRONG ANSWER MOTHAFUKA
Last Action Hero briefly mentioned at the beginning and I really hope they do that one at some point. I fucking love that movie.
I may be wrong but the stoner who lives is the guy who gets Johnny Depp arrested at the end of Blow. Dule or whatever is his name in the movie. He’s the east coast friend who picks up suitcases from flight attendants.
Thank you! I knew I recognized him from something that I watched multiple times
These bad guys are EEEEVIL and they love it
Just recently downloaded this one as part of my move to rewatch every movie I loved as a kid now, as a stoned adult/manchild. One of my resounding memories of it as a kid was that Craig Fairbrass (the British guy who isn't Lithgow) was in the UK soap Eastenders. Though he was a heel in that, it was still jarring seeing his jump to the big screen after guff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TyYV_2roGI

People on Reddit were talking about how this isn’t a good movie, but it honestly might be one of my favourite action movies of all time. Excited to hear what the Boyz think.
Yeah for real this is a good action movie and just a good movie in general
