Yeah I just found that out today I just googled Hulk Hogan and I was like wait what Chris Hemsworth WTF????. And I don't think the Hulk Hogan film would star Þórr (Thor) he is the god of thunder the one we prey too, he currently lives in Asgard I don't think they would hire Thor it would be a bit of a flight for him even know he is the mighty one. Of course it wouldn't and COULDN'T have REAL Thor (Þórr), because CLEARLY he has WAAAY too much talent and has at least 25" pythons, when the role clearly requires 24" pythons. In summary, real Thor (Þórr) is clearly over qualified for the paltry job of playing the man with the largest arms in the world who said his prayers, took his "vitamins", and shot poses while winning the hearts of all the little hulkamaniacs in 80's/90's WWF/WCW rings. A job perfect for the large Australian man who played Jack Kirby's vision of the character in Disney's take on Marvel's stories. I don't know if there is any other actor out there that could pull off playing Hogan like Hemsworth. I wonder what other wrestlers they'll portray in this movie, if it happens? Argh maybe get Hodor from game of thornes to play Andre, that would make my day if it happened
RIP Hodor

This is a great casting idea! I was trying to think of an actor that could pull off Andre's stature, especially next to that giant stack of beef Hemsworth! You couldn't have a Hogan movie without Andre. Now we just need Iron Sheik and Macho Man! :D I don't know how I went for so long without seeing it, but I FINALLY watched The Goonies last night. Without this movie, I doubt Stranger Things would have been created, or at least it wouldn't have looked the way it does. Goonies is a typical movie of the era (early 80's) in that the big bad rich guys are foreclosing on a neighbourhood to expand an oceanside country club, and a group of misfit buddies fear that this will be their last bit of time together before they're scatted amongst new neighbourhoods after the move. A very young Sean Astin and his older brother, Thanos, uh, I mean Josh Brolin (before the PURPLING!!!) finds a pirate treasure map in his dad's stuff in the attic, considers that finding the hidden stash is an opportunity to save the neighbourhood from the evil developers, and madness ensues. The gang finds the location of the treasure, which happens to be the hideout for a family of wanted criminals. The kids figure out what Sean Astin's treasure hunter father couldn't, and find a network of boobytrapped paths that the infamous pirate One Eyed Willy (love the name...) constructed to protect his loot for the ages. This is an innocent, well written (by Steven Spielberg, Chris Columbus), FUN movie that feels a bit like Indiana Jones meets Home Alone. It felt like a bit of a practice run for Stand By Me that would follow a few years later. The cast is great (Corey Feldman is obnoxious though, overacting big time, especially when you consider how well the rest of the kids did, but it seemed to get less noticeable as the film progressed.), especially Jeff Cohen as CHUNK (the 80's fat kid role, you'd NEVER see that these days!), Jonathan Ke Quan's (of Short Round fame in Indiana Jones Temple of Doom) gadget wielding character Data, and the hulking John Matuszak's deformed, baby ruth loving monster with a heart of gold Sloth! This movie was a lot of fun, devoid of the cynicism and didactic bullshit that seems to pervade all aspects of entertainment these days. It respected its young audience's ability to process mature subject matter by acknowledging the murders committed by the criminal family, and showed the remains of adventurers caught by the traps set by One Eyed Willy (lol!). Check this one out if you like Stranger Things, or just fun 80's movies (and note the TOTAL absence of computers or tablets/phones!!!! :O) |

Holy shit man The Goonies is an all time classic kids adventure movie, and I've seen it probably 20 times and I never even noticed the "One Eyed Willy" penis joke. *smh*
Alita: Battle Angel - This tale of a cyborg warrior turned Rollerball queen has an unnecessarily muddled plot, but it delivers on spectacle, showcasing an incredibly detailed future world, some great CGI fights and a tough female lead who isn't pushing any kind of social agenda. Plus, it was worth the price of admission to see Christoph Waltz dressed as a 1940's gumshoe and swinging around a rocket powered sledge hammer. Ends in a dumb spot though, it should've been either 10 minutes shorter or 30 minutes longer. 7/10
Black Butterfly - A trio of ladies (an assassin, a gambler and a cop) get mixed up in a war between two rival gangs of arms dealers. The story is a convoluted mess that isn't helped by the awful English subtitles and the fact that half of the people in the movie look and dress the same. There's a couple of scraps, a couple of shootouts, and a big winner-takes-all poker game at the end, but none of it is terribly good. It's like Taiwan tried to make a Cat III style movie, but had no clue how to actually do it. 4.5/10

Goonies is a classic i have seen it a few times.
I am unsure though who would play Macho Man / Iron Shiek.
Maybe Vin Diesel as some one i am unsure who he would fit.
And we gotta have Norman Reedas as maybe one of the Bushwackers or Hillbilly Jim xD.
Maybe even Adam Sandler heck proberly not Adam Sandler.

I was thinking about your suggestion for Hodor (Kristian Nairn) as Andre. A giant from a fantasy series portraying a giant WWF wrestler... O_o  Oh shit, I guess they could get The Mountain (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) in as Road Warrior Hawk or something?! Or maybe as the SHOCKMASTER!!! And while we're pillaging the game of thrones cast, Rory McCann (Sandor "The Hound" Clegane) as Jake the Snake or Big John Studd! Mark Hunt as Haku/Meng, and Christian Bale as either Bobby Hennan or/and Gene Oakerlund (since he seems to like to get fat, bald and crazy for his roles these days!)! |

Mark Hunt as Haku is INSPIRED casting. Absolutely love that 😎
That's really cool that you saw the Goonies for the first time and enjoyed it so much. I caught it last year for the first time in YEARS and loved it so much again. It's so watchable and easy to pop in and enjoy it at any point in the movie once you've seen it a few times. The early build to all the adventure parts is so well done, you can feel the dramatic tension increase as they explore the attic and the wheels get spinning.
Goonies was definitely a huge influence on Stranger Things, especially Season 1.
The NES version of Goonies was really fun too, but also really confusing to play LOL.

There was a Goonies II on the NES and for years I used to swear to people it was based on the sequel movie to Goonies which I had seen. It was a complete Mandela Effect; for years as a kid I was positive there had been a Goonies II, I had seen it and the NES game Goonies II was based on it.

Actually, I think it was Goonies 2 that I played and not Goonies 1, LOL.
It was an odd game with those little "escape rooms" with the commands. Pretty fun though.
I had a similar Mandela effect where at times I thought there was a sequel to the movie but that I hadn't seen it 😀

I also wonder if the other wrestlers will also be played by Hemsworth  Let's get a weird mash-up of "Being John Malkovich" plus "Thor" plus "No Holds Barred!" Edit: Now that I think about it, I'm disappointed that the Rock didn't try to play every role in that new movie about Paige and her family. I want to see him wearing a black wig and hear him shrieking: "This is my house!" in Paige's voice 😀 If they get Chris Hemsworth's brother to play Horace, I'm on board. |

Class of 1999 - A trio of military robots are brought into a violent high school as teachers to subdue unruly gang members, but the students fight back when the robots go haywire and go on a murderous rampage. Ostensibly a sequel to Class of 1984, it doesn't really share anything in common with the original other than a high school setting. Starts off pretty slow, but there's a solid B-movie cast here (Stacy Keach, Pam Grier, Malcolm McDowell etc), and it packs plenty of quality gore and robot mayhem. Pam Grier with a flamethrower arm? Yes, please. 6/10
Crazy Thunder Road - When a bunch of rival biker gangs form a loose alliance, it ignites a war with a rebellious splinter group of hellraisers. Bristling with infectious energy and feral intensity, ever threatening to boil over with testosterone and motor oil. The chaotic fight scenes are clearly influenced by Fukasaku, but this flick has its own unique visual style and some impressive camera work. Reckless enthusiasm and jaded nihilism never meshed so wonderfully. Note to self: see more Sogo Ishii films. 8/10

Well, I had an unexpected day off of work today....so I used it as an excuse to watch a bunch of kung fu movies I hadn't seen before :P
Love on Delivery - Shaw Brothers produced this Stephen Chow comedy about a wimpy delivery boy who trains in kung fu to impress a pretty girl. There's definitely some funny gags, but a whole bunch of Chow's humor is either lost in translation or is of the "stupid and obnoxious" variety. Sadly, the paltry quality and quantity of the martial arts action fails to make up for the shortfall of laughs. I ended up spending a lot of the run time of this flick just trying to stay awake. 4/10
The Young Vagabond - Gordon Liu plays Beggar Su, whose family's wine business is threatened by the appearance of a deadly thief. The plot of this lesser-heralded Shaw Brothers flick has some unexpected twists and turns, the sets and costumes are detailed and vibrant, the cast is excellent, and the martial arts are all good if somewhat generic. Other than a bit of Tiger Style displayed early on, most of the kung fu is more reminiscent of the "swingy arm" style of action more prevalent in the early 70s. Not bad. 7/10
The Foreigner - When the daughter of a Chinese ex-special ops agent is killed in a terrorist IRA bombing, he goes on the offensive to punish those responsible. It's a fun, suspenseful action thriller with some clever cat and mouse games, as well as some appropriately gritty fights. Jackie Chan pulls off his dramatic scenes admirably, and shows he can still believably do action and stunts...it's probably the best thing he's done in almost 20 years, even if he looks like the old guy who runs my local laundromat. 7/10
Kung Fu Vampire - A woman goes into rural China to attend her father's funeral, only to find that his body has been stolen by the nefarious Zombie King and his clan of voodoo priests. Bogged down by a ton of wretched comedy courtesy of her clown of a boyfriend, this is pretty annoying when they aren't fighting. Thankfully, the actual fights are pretty good, with plenty of decent hand to hand and swordplay, plus at the end a village is attacked by a whole army of hopping zombies with explosives strapped to them. 5.5/10

Deported Women of the SS Special Section - Standard issue Nazisploitation feature with everything you'd expect from this sort of fare: naked prisoners, lesbian wardens, a psychotic commandant and plenty of kink. It's very tame compared to many contemporaneous efforts along the same lines, failing to offer up anything novel enough to make it stand out from its peers. You're left with a run of the mill vanilla women in prison flick, some weak melodrama, and a smattering of Nazi fetishism. Not really worth your time. 4/10
VigasioSexploitation Vol.2 - Microbudget sci-fi weirdness. In a future where the whole world has become a desert, a scientist and his slutty assistant hatch an insane plan to save humanity by crossbreeding with aliens from a parallel universe. It's got a gang of invisible motorcyclists, ridiculous special effects, a woman with a huge handlebar mustache, and a fairly lengthy rumination on the merits of pubic hair. Plus a chick gets impregnated via a bow and arrow carrying a payload of alien semen. Bizarre and surreal. 6.5/10

O Brother, Where Art Thou? - A fantastical and uproariously funny (if very loose) adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey set in the rural South during the Great Depression. As expected from the Coens, everything is up to an absurdly high standard, but the soundtrack in particular is superb, full of soulful guitar and twangy harmonies. In a film packed with great performances, John Goodman's turn as a cyclops/Bible salesman stands out as a real highlight. An endlessly amusing cavalcade of goofy hillbillies and inbred yokels. 8/10
Mayakwang (aka The Drug King) - A small time South Korean smuggler gets involved in the production and export of methamphetamine to Japan, building a massive empire in the process. It's basically the Asian version of Scarface with less chainsaw murder and more nationalistic fervor. Includes a great lead performance from the ever versatile Song Kang-ho, some sweet period fashions, and plenty of choice 70's rock music. I didn't think I'd ever hear Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida featured in a Korean gangster flick, but here we are. 7.5/10
Swiss Army Man - A man stuck alone on a tiny Pacific island befriends a corpse who washes up on his beach, and they develop a bizarre kind of bromance as they navigate their way home. Picture Weekend at Bernie's with way more flatulence and masturbation jokes. Daniel Radcliffe plays a dead body admirably well, but the second half of the film focuses way too much on the self-imposed loneliness and general awkward loser-ness of Paul Dano's character for my tastes. The last 5 minutes were unbearably stupid. 6/10
