Forced Vengeance (1982)
From James Fargo, famed director of EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE comes another wonderful orangutan movie - FORCED VENGEANCE. How does Chuck as Josh Randall measure up to Clyde? Did Fargo think he was working with Clyde again? What would Clyde have done different with the role? This week we answer all these questions and more!

This cold open came in hot!
Hell yeah
G's Nutz hahahah.... jfc is this now? please help
Forced Vengeance sounds dumb. Reluctant revenge sounds better
Glad to hear I’m not the only one into doing the sea world
Anyone wanna see Gabrus turn into a werewolf with a football helmet on check out Scare Package. A true tour de force.
Shout out to Odyssey of The Mind. My team placed second in worlds. Alright, you guys can bully me now.
So, they use the metric system in Val Verde.
What does Forced Vengeance mean?
Do you think we could possibly get a 'Yoda Meets Krang' crossover episode? Krang voice is definitely one of the greats.
There was a hot tub bit with Howard the duck if we are looking for all stars.
Tony Montana, bad guys from Rising Sun, bad guy in Showdown in Little Tokyo, bad guy in Hard to Kill, bad guy in Blind Fury, bad guy in Ninja III. Scrolling through all the movies in the sauna with the keyword hot tub, pretty high ABZ hit rate. Bad guys love hot tubs.
Goddamnit, these writers couldn't think of another way to show how bad a bad guy is other than having them rape a woman to death or to a catatonic state. It's always such a bummer when it shows up in these old action movies, an unnecessary bummer. They can't think of another way to motivate the protagonist? Maybe action boys could start putting a disclaimer / give us a heads up on movies that have these scenes. So then someone could either avoid or at least brace themselves for it. Idk. A movie isn't terrible for having an assualt scene, but I think I'd still prefer a heads up. Even for a Wind River or The Last Duel, and those 2 were at least handled with some care and weren't made by Golan, Globus and Winner.
I think everyone here agrees with you on how the majority of the content we grew up with is a horrible indictment on society, particularly on white men, and how they exploited women, queer people, and people of color for “entertainment” without a second thought. But one thing I’d say is that the pod does give you a weeks notice on the movie that will be doing and the newest movie they’re ever gonna do is still at least 25 years old so there is a sea of info available out there to check in on any of these movies if you want to get a feel for the content. Not saying it’s the only fix, just another avenue to help be aware of the content beforehand.
I heard pink toilet paper causes pink sock. That’s why it’s not around anymore
Gabrus is great in this ep
Bert from the party is Australian actor / stuntman / bodyguard Richard Norton who was also in The Octagon that the Boyz covered. Pretty sure he was in one other Chuck movie they’ve covered but I stand corrected.
I wish Stuart Gordon was alive to make a vestigial foot baby/pedicurist-wet nurse movie
One of my favourite Richard Dreyfuss performances is in Lumet's Night Falls on Manhattan
I love the commentary episodes. Bring em back. Not every episode, but here and there they’re fucking awesome. Classic men doing classic commentaries on classic action movies. Classic.
There’s a great book included with Audible called “One of a Kind”. It’s about Stuey Ungar, 3-time World Series of Poker winner, who died penniless. It’s a truly compelling story about a degenerate gambler. The narrator is pretty mediocre, however.
All that high school dice talk has reminded me of a lot of unsettled debts. To think of the interest accrued...
True story: A few years back my girlfriend's mom was dating Chuck's karate friend who unfortunately died, so I went to the funeral and met Chuck and all his buddies. The guy is really shy, dumb as a rock and completely controlled by his creepy super Christian wife. It was a very strange time in my life.
I like how you incorporated the martial arts into your pallbearing
Keanu Reeves played a great degenerate in Hardball. Speaking of, I think the Rams -3.5 is free money tonight. Good luck!
Wake in Fright is a wild degenerate movie that ends with a kangaroo hunt.
Was kind of loopy fron the flu when I watched this, definitely had to rewind to check if I was hallucinating Chuck pulling out the Miss Piggy doll.
stangers' Sign off "ITTTTSSSS TIMMMEE" makes me bust up, he really beat that into all of us
Being named Josh and having a similar hair color and beard to Chuck (and looking like a chimp), I spent the entire runtime pretending they were talking about me.
When Leagues gets mentioned I always think of this old SNL sketch with Kelsey Grammer. He plays Captain Nemo and the joke is leagues are a measurement of distance and it should be 20,000 Fathoms under the Sea. I used to SCREAM with laughter watching it.
I think “dune suit riot” shoulda gotten more play
Riot!
add The Killing Of a Chinese Bookie for an alltime Degenerate Gambling movie
Another good Degenerate Gambling movie: Bay of Angels (1963).
Miss piggy literally being in this 40 year old Chuck Norris movie feels like I’m having a neurological event
From this pod I learned that Jessica Simpson learned how to act from Chuck and Miss Piggy learned karate from him. I wonder who else is out there learning from Chuck
Chuck taught me how to flirt with women
Cuck Kermit oh no no no
What happened to Stangerbot/Gorgon?? Did I miss them discussing it? What the FUCK!?
They've moved on from the show. Now let's land this thing
Gabrus only revealing his Swing past now is worse than Stanger taking 4 years to mention being a stripper .
Love that miss piggy keeps finding her way onto the show!
Hiii ya!
When Chuck is at the party and confronts the #2 Fuck Boi. They talk coded about drugs. Asking if he flys? Chuck responds “I dont Fly, Ski, I don’t play Tennis, and I don’t belong to Club Med” I know “Skiing” is code for coke, but what about the rest? Does Flying=Yellow Jackets? Tennis=Red Devils? Club Med=Blue Velvets?
Oh I thought it was gay stuff
Really a love letter to ADR…
The sauna website says the cup game is Nottingham Forest (red) playing Brighton (blue and white stripes) in 1978 but I think it’s Porto (blue and white stripes) beating Benfica (red) in the 81 Portuguese Super Cup and they’ve stolen the footage while filming. Makes sense of him saying “looks like Porto is going to score” as it’s the team, not a player. Why yes, I am on the spectrum, and I am in Covid isolation, why do you ask? 0/5000 found this interesting. 😊
Im in covid isolation too. Are you sick? Im vaxxed and sick as a dog. My antivaxx roommate is covid positive too and is totally fine. It is infuriating.
This is a great movie… That intro scene brought back memories like a mutha!
