areaseven Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) The non-U.S. version of Demolition Man is more hilarious. Because Taco Bell is not available in nearly all countries outside the U.S., Pizza Hut is substituted in the international releases. Therefore, Stallone and Sandra Bullock re-dubbed their lines to say, "Pizza Hut," and all Taco Bell logos are digitally replaced with Pizza Hut logos (the Blu-ray version makes it more obvious).

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 gulty pleasure? demolition man? i'm not ashamed, i'll watch this movie with anyone this shouldn't be in the guilty pleasure thread Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I'm not ashamed to admit that I really, really enjoyed Rocky Balboa. In fact, I can give it the highest praise I can a movie: I wish I'd seen it in the theatres. Quote
Archer Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I love watching dubbed anime. There, I said it..... Quote
areaseven Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Tango & Cash is one of the great guilty pleasures in Stallone's film catalog. Edited October 5, 2013 by areaseven Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Judge Dredd is only unwatchable if you actually gave a damn about the Judge Dredd franchise before seeing it. I saw it, liked it, then started reading the comics and was like "So that's why fans say the movie sucks!". Quote
Penguin Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Tango & Cash is one of the great guilty pleasures in Stallone's film catalog. Ditto for Kurt Russell's catalog. Loved the Jackie Chan rip-off moment too. Quote

I first saw the movie in theaters without ever touching a Judge Dredd comic book, and I thought the movie was total crap. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Tango & Cash is one of the great guilty pleasures in Stallone's film catalog. i remember after first blood part II made his stock hot in action movies, he comes up with "he thinks he's Rambo... Rambo was a 9@33Y) great line... Quote
Marzan Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Tango & Cash is one of the great guilty pleasures in Stallone's film catalog. Not too mention Teri Hatcher's (Stallone's sister in the film) finest moment as an actress dancing to Yazoo's early 80's classic "Don't Go" at the club. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Not too mention Teri Hatcher's (Stallone's sister in the film) finest moment as an actress dancing to Yazoo's early 80's classic "Don't Go" at the club. I have to call foul with this. I thought her finest moment was coming to James Bond's hotel room in Tomorrow Never Dies. My favourite Tango and Cash moment? "Your Honour, Mr. Tango has spoken quite elegantly on this topic. All I have to add is... THIS F*#&*ING SUCKS!" Quote
areaseven Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I would've added Rocky IV to my guilty pleasure list, but I don't know a single person who hates it. Quote
areaseven Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Guilty Pleasure of the Moment: Jean-Claude Van Damme Movies "The Muscles from Brussels" has been the bane of critics for the past three decades, starring in over 20 films that are certified "Rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes. As one of the biggest action stars in the 1980s and 1990s, Van Damme was often typecast as a kickboxing Frenchman due to his accent. Movies such as No Retreat, No Surrender, Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Double Impact, Universal Soldier, Hard Target and Timecop have their fans here on the boards, while shlock like Cyborg, Street Fighter: The Movie, The Quest, Double Team, Knock Off and Inferno (Desert Heat) belong in the recycle bin. No one had ever taken him seriously until JCVD in 2008, where he played a fictional version of himself. JCVD won unanimous praise from the same critics that normally hate him. Despite that one bit of success, Van Damme continues to relegate his career to direct-to-video releases. Of all the hits and misses dished out by Van Damme, which ones would you consider your guilty pleasures? Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Bloodsport, by far. Just last week, I spent a few hours watching clips of it on Youtube, especially the first day fighting montage. Plus the main theme is the best workout song I've ever known. Quote
areaseven Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Speaking of Van Damme, a word from our sponsors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyZtRO7cXgs Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Blood Sport is a classic! shouldn't be a guilty pleasure! it's perfectly normal to watch it in public Quote
myk Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) I'm not feeling guilty about loving JCVD's stuff; Blood Sport, Kickboxer, Double Impact, and my personal favorites Hard Target and Nowhere to Run are always on my play list... Edited October 25, 2013 by myk Quote
Agent ONE Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I would've added Rocky IV to my guilty pleasure list, but I don't know a single person who hates it. If you had said Rocky 5... I'm not feeling guilty about loving JCVD's stuff; Blood Sport, Kickboxer, Double Impact, and my personal favorites Hard Target and Nowhere to Run are always on my play list... How about Lionheart!!? Quote
myk Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Hmm...I don't know why but I never really dug LionHeart, which is completely irrational considering the interchangeable stories, locations, characters, etc. I did forget to mention Death Warrant though; the part where the corrupt prison police force JCVD's hot lawyer to take her clothes off and submit to a body cavity search was hot stuff back in the day...

danth Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Nine year old me LOVED Cyborg. I wanted those boots with the retractable knife blade. Quote
areaseven Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) No Retreat, No Surrender is such a horribly-made film. The production is atrocious, the storyline is an early clone of The Karate Kid, and the acting is beyond laughable. But what saves a portion of the movie is Van Damme and the fight choreography. So yeah, it's a guilty pleasure - a painful one at that. Also, Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Universal Soldier are classics. As a matter of fact, Bloodsport should be considered a benchmark for filming a proper martial arts film. Why feel guilty about liking them? Edited October 26, 2013 by areaseven Quote
Vepariga Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 some Guilty pleasure movies: Iron Sky, Starship Troopers 3.. Quote
Mog Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Also, Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Universal Soldier are classics. Why feel guilty about liking them? For Kickboxer, here's two reasons : Reason #1: Almost everything that happens before the 3:00 mark: Reason #2: Mylee's "emoting" during the final fight scenes. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 The old Van Damme movies are enjoyable, especially Kickboxer. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I have to admit, I find Van Damme's GoDaddy commercials to be hilarious. Especially the baker one. Given my boss' attitudes towards work, that's become my internal soundtrack at work Quote
areaseven Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 So much better than all of his direct-to-video works. Quote
myk Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Van Damme is awesome I didn't know he was a professional fighter either (although with a limited career); I just assumed he was "shown" how to fight for his movies... Quote
Duke Togo Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension is streaming on Netflix! Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) i was going to post this in the videosgames thread but this is a guilty pleasure : Edited November 6, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 No love for Hard Target? I mean it has Lance Henrickson and wilford brimly.. Oh and Arnold vosoloo! Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I got another guilty pleasure, the mob noir film Bound starring Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon, and Joe Pantoliano. It was the first movie directed by the Warshowski Bros(or is that brother and sister now?) before they did the Matrix films. It has possibly the hottest lesbian love scene outside of porn aside from it being a great film. Quote
