The Killer Elite (1975)

Is that old army base thing by the golden gate bride Presidio? Not from Cali don’t roast me I have no clue but Presidio is a dope movie

Hell yeah

After watching this goofy movie and listening to the Boyz, I wonder if any of them has seen the absolute classic "Lady In A Cage" from 1964, which features Caan's first major role in a film. It is a very strange horror/home invasion/social commentary film that really holds up considering its age. Caan is extremely menacing in it. Well worth a look, and maybe a Wolf...of the shadow kind...

Tell us more about 'Cowboy Fuck-around'

This thing? https://youtu.be/Yer-rptxVUU

That boat graveyard looked more like a boat mausoleum to me, but I’m no boat mortician so who knows.

Action Faction, if you're not watching the World Cup, Uruguay has a player called Valverde. Now you have a team to root for.

“I’m Chris Evans presents The Gray Man.” “I’m Dwayne The Rock Johnson featuring Black Adam.” “I’m Cate Blanchett for Tar.”

To add to to the meta-diecussion, doesn't Caan say something like "no, were not doing subtitles here" when someone was speaking Japanese early in the movie?

All the sauna stuff they mention is true! The commentary is w three film historians and one of them was on set for part of it. Another thing they said was it was supposed to be Duvalls character who takes the shot from the roof at the airport but Duvall is afraid of heights and wouldn’t go up there so they rewrote it

Did anyone else see the Flasher in the airport?? Dude opened his coat to the cop and walked in

What I tell folks about the Action Boyz: “It’s a good show. It’s not a great show, but it’s a good show.” 😏

On an episode of The Tobolowsky Files, he tells a story about meeting James Caan. They were in a van, on the way to set, for an early morning shoot. Tobolowsky introduced himself by saying how big a fan he was of his work and that he knows Caan must hear this all the time but he wanted to tell him about one of his favorite scenes of Caan's. He said Caan looked nonplussed, that he was probably thinking he was going to mention The Godfather. But when Tobolowsky describes how great he thought the sequence of Caan going from room to room inside the house, with his gun drawn, at the end of Thief, he says Caan got a big smile on his face and turned to him and said Yeah, that was a lot of fun.

Don’t know if it’s come up but for similar era Duvall vibes, The Outfit is on HBO max right now. Great cast, I think Walter Hill wrote it

This movie reminds me of The Challenge, another prime Ninjavember candidate starring Scott Glenn and directed by John Frankenheimer. American film directors kinda developed a mini-obsession with pairing Japanese martial arts movies and grizzly American movie stars, didn’t they?

Really glad I got to see this movie with the Action Boyz. I started watching it maybe 20 years ago and didn’t finish because I just wasn’t into it. It’s far from perfect, or even good, but it certainly has elements I’m glad I saw. Mostly Gig Young. I hope they do Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. I remember Gig Young being pretty memorable in that one.

Any reason why I received an email that announced that Lone Wolf & Cub was the latest release, but the link goes nowhere?

I'm normal

As a fit Jewish dude who broke his ankle last January and had an arduous rehab, I felt seen by this movie...all those scenes were really well done and resonated with moments I had getting over this bullshit.

Just wanted to say something as a mailman. We usually don’t make overtime for working on Sundays cause they usually have the non career employees do it.

Jerome is secretly the zodiac killer.

Babe, wake up, the Boyz went long on The Killer Elite 🥹

Some people pay good money to get rice pilaf thrown into their ass

I finished a book last night and was looking for my next read. I ended up just going to bed hoping the boyz will have a good recco on todays episode.

It’s the Caantuary season so whoop de do.

Great houseboat, terrifying '70s hospital.

Caan's 3 man crew are pretty much the Action Boyz

Love a 3 hour + ep

This movie is so horribly written and edited. Like the script was constantly changed. The end action sequence makes no sense and there is zero indication that it's leading to that. Seems like this was patched together from an entirely different movie. The CIA and government stuff makes zero sense.

Emerson of the worst ninjas Ive ever seen.
