GPC Episode 45 - Bloodsport II (1996)

The GPC reenters the Kumite in the sequel to one of my all time favourites Bloodsport with Bloodsport II, marketed as Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite.

How hard is it to screw up a movie about international fighters in a worldwide tournament?  Pretty damn easy actually, but hey it's not all bad if the fighting itself is still good right?

Right?

Come find out with more fighting, more silly yelling, more titles and more Ray Jackson!

GPC Episode 43 - The 13th Warrior (1999)

The GPC continues with Viking culture clashes with the Arab/Norse mix, The 13th Warrior!

It's from the writer best known for the story of dinosaurs running amok in a wildlife park, directed by the man who brought us Predator and Die Hard, and starring Zorro with a bunch of, well, Vikings, all in a movie not-coincidentally referencing Beowulf!  Oh and it tested so poorly the writer stepped in to direct reshoots and scrapped the score, delaying things a year.

All told it's awesome and flawed, perfect for the GPC!  Come check it out!

GPC Episode 38 - Batman Forever (1995)

The GPC continues the summer of superheroes and celebrating the return of Superman by watching a Batman movie!  

What happens when a studio wants to reboot a franchise before that was even a thing?  You get sequels like Batman Forever!

At least it's not Batman & Robin though, right?
