The Perfect Weapon (1991)

Hell yeah

How mush speed could you confidently achieve running in boots with loose knives in them? Enough to pull off a successful pole vault? Also full disclosure I’ve never pole vaulted. That being said I’ve seen people do it. When done right your body bends in a specific way. Would having two sticks strapped to your back allow you to do the required amount of bending?

I haven't watched this one yet but I did think at first that maybe "Tanaka" was Hitomi Tanaka and I was p. excited for some titties but I'm sure Prof Tanaka is great too. Putting this one on my list to see asap though because it sounds nuts.

Is it just me, or does Speakman always look like he’s between 1 and 5 seconds away from shitting his pants in this movie? His facial expressions while fighting are especially hilarious.

I was taking Kempo classes when this movie came out, and I remember Sensei Mike singing its praises. He said it's fair play to take advantage of Professor Tanaka's knee injury as a weak point and use the environment around you. Really made an impression on me as a young martial artist.

i woulve gone with Street Knight but what do i know im just a humble movie buff

AKA "the wrist watch episode". Really appreciated all the watch talk, and when Rodgers worked some F1 into it, it was chef's kiss.

Rodgers if you think both men/women are peak attractiveness at age 29 you should check out the OKCupid Dataclysm charts.

This movie so beige.

We gotta bring this back before the guillotine. Also my nickname in college. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upright_jerker

My 4 year old truck obsessed son will clearly tell you that it's called a car carrier

Citrus Heights? That explains the origin of Stanger Gorgon.

Since the Boyz are big soundtrack/score freaks, Streets of Rage has some sick music. Particularly Streets 2. On a similar note...do Savage Streets you cowards

This felt like a tv movie.

Speakman looks like such an unlikely martial scientist that when he fights, I’m reminded of Stanger’s story of the kid that karate kicked his ass along with his friends on that ski trip. “Oh yeah whatever he does karate”

So stoked to see a Speakman piece finally. Do Street Knight next!

Don’t sleep on Avatar 2, bro!

Not only has Elizabeth Taylor’s construction husband come up before, but it’s come up on the context of Bubbles the chimp wearing Amy’s glove.

My friend polevaulted in high school with our classmate Mason Gamble, who years earlier played the lil blonde kid in Rushmore. And is THAT interesting??

If that bully hadn't been wearing a football helmet, he would've been decapitated right?

Also if you guys start selling ABZ pinky rings I will absolutely buy and wear it

I’m gonna see Avatar 2 because I watch garbage but I truly don’t understand the boys’ difference in excitement between that and MCU stuff. they’re both C/C- tier background noise franchises, Avatar wasn’t any better than an Iron Man movie

“Not the perfect movie, The Perfect Weapon.” 👊🏽 🥋

All those games like Streets of Rage, Final Fight, Double Dragon etc. are lumped into a genre simply called "Beat 'em ups"

Dante Basco is a really nice guy

Stanger talking about Keith Hackeny and the early UFC makes me realize I need a Shadow Wolves review of UFC 1

The Krav class I go to is all self-defence and de-escalation, how to avoid knives, and being wary of knocking people spark out due to a big campaign warning of the dangers of a one-punch kill through people smacking their head off the street or a wall. The pen stuff while starting out seems insane…Kicks, elbows, striking arms, wrists, knees, controlling the opponent, nut-shots, getting out of holds, making your attacker hurt or think twice, and putting people on the ground ought to come before Jason Bourne shit FFS. First thing we got taught was back down, leave, or run! 😳

Crocodile Dundee 3 was written by fantasy football guru Matthew Berry

With how much screen time it gets, you’d think they’d use more money to make a believable “elevator” to the pent house. But who knows, maybe they were going for a “treehouse rope pulley system” look

I highly recommend streets of rage 4 great beat em up with a cool soundtrack and really nice artwork. Grab a few beers and a buddy and it's a great time for a 15 dollar game.

I’m going to be very brave and say there’s a lot of Avatar revisionism going on. That movie fucking stank.

This was a delightful intro to a guy whose name I vaguely recognized but have never seen in a movie before. Are there any other movies of his on this level?

I've been waiting for this episode for years. This is my most anticipated movie for you guys to cover. Can't wait 🤟🏾
