Ruthless Reviews Give SOAP Great Review

 Godlike website Ruthless Reviews have given Snakes on a Plane a great review:

Snakes on a Plane is, above all, the most critic-proof movie ever made. There isn’t a negative assessment that could hold, nor a flaw that would stick.

Read the full review here. While you're there, also read their reviews for Commando ('raddest movie ever made') and Predator by the legend that is Jonny Lieberman.

Hard to Kill Script

Amazing what you can find on the internet. Here is a link to a copy of the script to Steven Seagal classic, Hard to Kill. Awesome. 

Steven Seagal 'Orange Wednesday' Ad

I was just discussing this with ActionLes and wondered if it was available on YouTube. Silly me. Everything is available on YouTube. I just have to work out how to embed video in Blogger posts now. For now, you'll have to make do with the link.

More added

Getting there with converting the old AC site to its new Blogger home. Added the quote generator and a permalink to the mission statement to the bar on the right. Just need to work out how to add the music now. AC wouldn't be AC without the midi verision of Kenny Loggins 'Danger Zone' playing in the background.

In the mean time, enjoy the Danger Zone video.

Snakes On A Plane

It's got snakes, it's got a plane. There are snakes on the plane. It's about as simple as that. Samuel L Jackson plays FBI Agent Nelville Flynn. His job is to get a witness to the murder of a US prosecutor to LA to testify. The bad guys don't want this to happen, so they load a time capsule full of poisonous snakes and a box of Hawaiian garlands laced with snake hate-pheremone into the cargo bay. Not a bomb or a can of poisonous gas or a sniper in LA, but poisonous snakes. That's why bad guys never succeed in action movies. When the plan's in the air, the snakes are released and poison-spitting, hissing carnage ensues.

SOAP is an action movie in the vein of 70's disaster flics like The Towering Inferno, Airport or The Poseidon Adventure, only this time, there's snakes.

Ticking all the right boxes, there are one-liners, embarrassing deaths, nasty guys getting their come-uppance (throwing a cute girl's tiny dog to a Boa Constrictor does not enhance your survival chances in this sort of film), famous and ironic last words and bad guys coming good. A classic tale of trial over adversity. With snakes. On a plane.

Summer Break - New Look

ActionClub has taken a bit of a break over the summer but is back with a new look web presence in the shape of this blog. Easier to update than the old AC site and more 'feature-rich' for your pleasure. Hopefully, this will get updated more than the old one, and possibly, I'll be able to encourage a couple of new contributers from the AC crew.
