The Dirty Dozen (1967)

Has anyone seen Death Hunt? With Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson? My dad showed me that movie as a kid and I assumed everyone loved it but as an adult, I never hear shit about it 🤔

Hell yeah

Dear Action Boyz, I am writing to you to report a flagrant mistake that Gabrus made in The Dirty Dozen episode. Just beyond the one hour mark, Rodgers references the 22nd episode of The Simpsons 7th season, called "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in 'The Curse of the Flying Hellfish'". Gabrus proceeds to ignorantly claim that this episode also contains the infamous line "Bake 'em away, toys," when in fact this was said by Chief Wiggum in the 2nd episode of the 5th season, Cape Feare, where Sideshow Bob is released from prison and the Simpsons enter witness protection in a plot that parallels the 1991 movie of the same name, sans "e". I implore you to address this egregious error at the beginning of the next Shadow Wolves episode and give me the credit I deserve for correcting your mistakes. Sincerely, Film Fan

The TCM commercial for the dirty dozen on ice is pretty good you can find it on YouTube

So apart from the Franchise Wars of Demolition Man, The Block Wars or Mega City One with Judge Dredd, The Flight of the Intruder (which actually takes place during the Vietnam War, and countless flashbacks to The Vietnam War in a bunch of the movies). THIS is not the first war movie the Boyz have done.

Bit of a knife guy here. Every knife fighting trainer Ive had has said the same thing: never get in a knife fight. Run.

Good god. Carl Paladino. Unfortunately, he went to the same school I went to and graduated from there (St. Bonaventure University). I became a reporter and had to write about him running for governor years ago. He still follows me on Twitter.

Lovitz is on Kevin Pollak's podcast from like a decade ago. If you can handle Pollak.

I knew I’d be corrected

Is this the first “War Movie” the Boyz have done based on an actual war? It’s great. They bring up “Where Eagles Dare” a lot. I’d love their take on “The Eagle has Landed.”

Thank you Stanger for going out of your way to have JCVD say "bad boy" again, always makes me laugh.

Thanks Action Boyz for bringing up Lovitz. It allows me to submit my take that The Fifth Element owes a lot to Mom and Dad Save the World. Cheap rubber effects, weird villains, smokeshow women (sup Kathy Ireland and Teri Garr), and weird/cool weapons. Lovitz is an oddball as Emperor Tod.

A rich friend left a belt at my place once and I’ve been wearing it for 18 years.

I had the opportunity to fire an M3 Grease Gun in the ballistics room of an ammunition factory during a tour. Pretty slick/cost effective weapon manufactured by General Motors with stamp metal and welding. Very little recoil despite the .45 ACP ammo. 5 stars!

Glad to see Clint Walker in a movie and even better to hear him brought up in the podcast. I think he’s kind of underrated and Cheyenne was a decent show, especially for its era. Check out More Dead Than Alive, his character is great and the plot is decent. Also, Cheyenne season 2 episode 2 “The Long Winter” is fucking great and worth tracking down to watch.

And yes, definitely one of the best Simpsons endings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd_yvCNkPp4

"Bronson's Gotta Kill The Radio Guy" to the tune of Video Killed The Radio Star

Wiggum saying "Bake him away toys" is from Cape Feare in season 5

Jim Brown's real life legal troubles could easily inspire a reboot for his character.

Belt talk! Get yourself a ratchet style belt, no holes, easily adjustable. It will change your life!

Hopefully this leads into the next 60’s film pairing of Borgnine and Robert Ryan, The Wild Bunch

What a treat! I hadn't watched this since I was little and my dad fulfilled his legal requirement of telling his son how cool the Dirty Dozen and Jim Brown were.

Every episode of Baywatch?!

This is great. Kelly’s Heroes is a great companion piece

Caterpillar(Rabbit in The Moon Remix), by DJ Keoki, is the song from the Flying Hellfish episode of The Simpsons.

PCU is a true favourite, though oddly still relevant, or at least recognisable.

All this Where Eagles Dare talk got me edging.

Killing Nazis? With Lee Marvin? What more American way to celebrate July 4?

Never watched this before, wish someone had told me that most of it's just a classic snobs vs slobs summer camp movie.
