    When it comes to Porsches, I still prefer the 928. As Tom Cruise said: "There is no substitute." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQzQp4JBi3I

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sowcbucw0WE And now for a quick recap: Episode 3: "The Illustrated Woman" Directed by Ken Olin (Michael Steadman in thirtysomething) Devastated over the loss of his sister and her children at the hands of the Kempeitai, Frank must tell the bad news to her husband. Tagomi is on edge when the Crown Prince and Princess of Japan arrive in San Francisco. Meanwhile, a bounty hunter known only as "The Marshal", enters Canon City, looking for clues on the disappearance of the Origami Man. While ditching the Origami Man's body, Juliana and Joe find a map to an abandoned mine, where they make a gruesome discovery. Episode 4: "Revelations" Directed by Michael Rymer (Battlestar Galactica) Juliana and Joe meet up with Lemuel Washington, the owner of the local diner and one of the names on the list of suspected Resistance members. He leads them to the next clue to the Man in the High Castle, but not before exposing Joe as a Nazi spy. Meanwhile, Frank plots his revenge on the Japanese government, but something goes wrong during the Crown Prince's speech. Episode 5: "The New Normal" Directed by Bryan Spicer (Castle, 24) The Crown Prince is assassinated, placing San Francisco on high alert as Frank ditches his gun, despite not being the culprit. Juliana comes home and turns herself in to the Kempeitai after hearing of the damage she had done to Frank's life. Meanwhile, Joe reports back to Obergruppenführer Smith and learns that he has failed his mission. Episode 6: "Three Monkeys" Directed by Nelson McCormick (Daredevil, NYPD Blue) As part of her mission to learn more about the Man in the High Castle, Juliana gets a job as Tagomi's assistant. Meanwhile, Joe is invited to celebrate VA Day with Obergruppenführer Smith's family. Wegener, who has been placed on the Kempeitai's watchlist under suspicion of being involved in the Crown Prince's assassination, bumps into Obergruppenführer Smith at the airport and joins the party. Trivia: The title refers to Sanzaru, or the Three Wise Monkeys of Japanese folklore. Episode 7: "Truth" Directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist, Fringe) Obergruppenführer Smith extracts more information from Joe about his encounter with Juliana in Canon City. Joe is ordered to contact Juliana again, as Nazi intelligence has learned of another film in the Pacific States. Meanwhile, after bumping into Juliana at the government office, her stepfather tells her the truth about Trudy. Wanting to learn more about Juliana, Togami gives her Trudy's final whereabouts. Episode 8: "End of the World" Directed by Karyn Kusama (Girlfight, Jennifer's Body) Just as Juliana and Frank plan their escape from the Pacific States, Joe arrives and meets up with Juliana. The Resistance coax her into asking Joe to give them 100,000 yen to obtain the new film from the Yakuza. Meanwhile, Obergruppenführer Smith brings his son to the hospital for a checkup, only to learn of the disturbing truth about his son's health. Trivia: The title references the 1962 Skeeter Davis song "The End of the World". During the Bamboo Palace scene, an American singer is performing the song in Japanese. Episode 9: "Kindness" Directed by Michael Slovis (Breaking Bad, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) Due to the Kempentai's raid on the meeting place, the Yakuza and the Resistance hold Joe and the film for ransom, and Juliana tries to convince Frank to help her raise the 50,000 yen. Meanwhile, at a formal dinner, Wegener is interrogated by Oberst-Gruppenführer Heydrich over allegations of leaking Nazi technology to the Japanese. Kido discovers the shocking truth behind the Crown Prince's assassination. Episode 10: "A Way Out" Directed by Daniel Percival (Pipp Everett in Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj) Juliana and Frank play the film they acquired at a school auditorium and discover a horrifying revelation that involves them. When Joe reaquires the film, the Resistance offers Juliana and Frank a way out in exchange for Joe's life and the film. Meanwhile, Obergruppenführer Smith is invited by Heydrich to a morning hunting session, aware that it may be his last. Following a tip-off by the Yakuza, Kido locates the man behind the Crown Prince's assassination, but feeling he has failed his country, he prepares to commit seppuku. Wegener arrives in Berlin for one final mission that may affect the future of the Third Reich.

    Partially OT, but sad news. Olivia Jackson, who was Charlize Theron and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's stunt double in this film, was critically injured during filming of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. While serving as Milla Jovovich's stunt double, Jackson's motorcycle collided with a camera crane. She spent two weeks in a coma and sustained head trauma, facial degloving (look that up at your own risk), a paralyzed arm, an amputated thumb, torn fingers, and five severed nerves on her spinal cord, among her numerous injuries. Jackson had recently finished work on Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the stunt double for Daisy Ridley. She also doubled for Karen Gillan as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy. Update: Jackson had her paralyzed left arm amputated.

    Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger: 10 Years After (特捜戦隊デカレンジャー 10 YEARS AFTER) Toei Video, 2015 Nope, a Power Rangers S.P.D. reunion will never happen. Running Time: 47 minutes Not Rated (Suggested TV-PG). Contains violence and mature situations. "Change Standby, Roger! Emergency...DEKARANGER!" Cast Ryuji Sainei as Banban Akaza/Deka Red Tsuyoshi Hayashi as Houji Tomasu/Deka Blue Yousuke Itou (Magis/Gosei Green in Tensou Sentai Goseiger) as Senichi "Sen-chan" Enari/Deka Green Ayumi Kinoshita (Yui in Travelers: Jigen Keisatsu, Yuko Fukui in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) as Marika "Jasmine" Hiwatari (nee Reimon)/Deka Yellow Mika Kikuchi (Mokona in xxxHolic, Ayane in Battle Royale II: Requiem) as Koume "Umeko" Kodou/Deka Pink Tomokazu Yoshida as Tekkan "Tetsu" Aira/Deka Break Tetsu Inada (Tatsuzo in Gudam Build Fighters) as Doggie Kruger/Deka Master (voice) Mako Ishino as Swan Shiratori Rino Kobayashi as Clementian Carrie Rikiya Koyama (Kuze in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Norb in Eureka Seven) as Kight Reidlich (voice) Rakuto Tochihara (Asumu in Kamen Rider Hibiki) as Assam Asimov/Neo Deka Red Mizuho Hata as Mugi Grafton/Neo Deka Yellow Ryusei Nakao (Frieza in Dragon Ball Z, Dr. Indigo in One Piece) as Clone Abrella (voice) Yuto Uemura as Hikaru Hiwatari Isao Sasaki (famous anime singer) as Michael Micsong (voice) Toshio Furukawa (Kai Shiden in Mobile Suit Gundam, Piccolo in Dragon Ball Z) as the Narrator Synopsis "S.P.D.: Special Police Dekaranger. Six detectives: burning hearts, fighting cool. Their mission is to combat alien criminals on Earth. They protect the peace and safety of all humanity! "But now, they are no longer together. The passage of 10 years has given them new destinies, and they followed separate paths." Ten years have passed since the Dekarangers saved Earth from Agent Abrella and his Alienizers. Still in the force, Tetsu has become the Chief of S.P.D.'s Earth branch while Sen-chan and Umeko are busy training Assam and Mugi - the new Deka Red and Deka Yellow, respectively. Meanwhile, Houji has fallen into depression while Jasmine has retired after getting married. One night, the Dekarangers encounter the Clementian Carrie, who has the ability to hide herself in anyone's body. Shortly after Ban - now a member of the elite Fire Squad - returns to Earth, they are assigned to protect Carrie, who is a witness to an incident that ruined Doggie Kruger's reputation and adversely affected S.P.D. as a whole. Carrie's testimony is the key that may clear Doggie's name for good. Lowdown Ever since Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Toei's local dub of Power Rangers S.P.D., fans have long clamored for a Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger reunion - especially since Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger had theirs a couple of years ago. Well, we've finally gotten our much-awaited reunion; and it starts on a downer. To say that things have changed over the past decade is an understatement. Most of the cast have greatly matured except for Houji, who spends the first 10 or so minutes moping around and playing video games. Ban and Tetsu, who were the loudest characters in the series, are now the most serious, given their current ranks. Jasmine-chan's marriage is one of the biggest WTFs in tokusatsu history, if you still remember the series. Even the most diehard Dekaranger fans will feel alienated by the dark atmosphere of the first act, but the pace picks up on the second act with our spandex-clad heroes fighting armies of Mechanoids and outsmarting even the audience just like the good old days. It's here that the Dekarangers are back to their old selves, from Sen-chan doing his signature "thinking pose" to Houji spouting out Engrish catchphrases to Tetsu's "Nonsense" line. The CGI-based special effects are as cheesy as ever, but that's what we love about this series. And the music has not changed a single bit, with Psychic Lover and Isao Sasaki returning with their theme songs. Yes, the film starts on a depressing note, but that was the plan all along, as without a doubt, Dekaranger: 10 Years After is a must-see for any Super Sentai fan. It proves that even after a decade, the Dekarangers still have that same formula that makes them one of the best Super Sentai teams of all time. "S.P.D.: Special Police Dekaranger. Six detectives: burning hearts, fighting cool. They are forever. Please remember them when you feel down. Even if they're not there now, the Dekarangers will always be in your hearts. So keep fighting with them. When you overcome one of life's emergencies, surely a wonderful and expansive galaxy awaits you. Forever Dekaranger!" Rating: B+ "Got you!"

    Nope, this film is not about that bass, about that bass, or treble... And here's the film's take on the classic Peanuts theme:

    Oh yeah, does Bandai hate the Baund Doc? We haven't gotten a decent Gunpla of it - not HGUC, RG, or MG.
  18. areaseven
    I'm more disappointed that the RX-93 ν Gundam still doesn't have a PG or RG kit.

    Don't do it when you want to go to it.

    I'm surprised no one's mentioned how whitewashed this film is.

    This was mentioned in one of the review videos posted a few pages ago, but I wonder if anyone here can answer this question: If Sarah and Kyle travel from 1984 to 2017, how can John Connor exist? Also, this just in.
