The only way you will get through that movie is knowing at least you will see someone get hit by an icicle.
"Con Air" will forever be the masterpiece of dumb '90s action cinema. Perfect cast, one liners and action.
He's such an all-fired reactionary prick that it really doesn't make me want to seek out movies I haven't already seen. Which basically limits me to Under Siege and Exit Wounds.
He is absolutely awful. I've been listening to ActionBoyz and they just tear into him whenever they do one of his movies. Out For Justice and Marked For Death are soooo bad and he is a ridiculous jerkoff in them. Great entertainment to watch him flail around, though.
I’m a huge fan of Armageddon and believe it has all of this as well. Christ, I think some friends and I watched that every day for an entire summer during high school. No idea how it started but before you know it we all had a DVD copy so no matter who’s house we were at we could turn it on lol I saw Con Air in the theater with my mom lol. Good times.
I also can never stop thinking about what was pointed out to me once, that almost every single Segal movie (Exit Wounds as a notable exception) is titled so the trailer can say "Steven Segal IS ____________________"
I "took" my dad to see Con Air in theaters for father's day. I was four. It was wayyy too loud and terrifying for me so I spent the whole time curled in the seat. My dad loved it though so a great present. Last week I saw Road House for the first time. Completely bonkers and I loved every second of it. Not sure if that counts as enough action for a dumb action movie
If the plot of Whiplash stayed exactly the same but it was about a kid who played basketball instead of jazz drums, not only would it be more realistic, but it wouldn't be nearly as acclaimed. On that note, First Man is the best Chazelle movie by a mile
