Commercial from 1985 for the Clark Kent action figure from the "Super Powers Collection" toy line. Featuring Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen. They do a really good job of matching the look of the Superman films.

Finally gave this a watch, and I would HIGHLY recommend if you’re a fan of the action genre! Lots of great interviews from cast and crew, and despite the narrow focus, it covers a lot of ground and is quite in-depth. Be sure to check out @oliverharper.bsky.social’s other work on YouTube!

Did you know Ryan Gosling's favourite action movie growing up was No Retreat No Surrender? Check out the Kickstarter for my latest project documenting the making of the film with interviews from Kurt McKinney, Scott Adkins, Cynthia Rothrock, Matthias Hues and many more! kck.st/4hOD7LT

I've been on something of an action movie documentary kick lately. In the past few months, I've watched ENTER THE GAME OF CLONES (about the Bruceploitation genre) and KUNG FU STUNTMEN. Now I've finally got my hands on @oliverharper.bsky.social's IN SEARCH OF THE LAST ACTION HEROES.

Happy birthday to Brandon Lee who would have turned 60 this year. A bright shining star that was extinguished too fast. Gone but never forgotten.

Remember the good old days when a film’s making-of documentary was so integral to the process that the likes of David Lynch appeared in a two page ad to announce which camera was going to be used strictly for the behind-the-scenes of DUNE?

NEW VIDEO: Rob Hill (The Bad Movie Bible) and I kick off the New Year with a commentary to Terminator: Dark Fate which finishes up our series of podcasts on the Terminator franchise. youtu.be/ud5sDRpkVZ4

Two great directors have passed away, David Lynch and Jeannot Szwarc! Such a huge shame. RIP

The amount of fake movie trivia, AI generated posts and film posters is out of control on Facebook! But this poster is comedy gold. They aren’t even trying anymore to come across as genuine with “The Dark Knight Returns in Christian Bale Returns.”

Alien 3 was released on VHS tape on this day in 1992. The tape changed my life because 22 year-old me bought a Laserdisc player after the movie was ruined by panning and scanning. I loved that some discs had commentary tracks. I got into movies on a big level because of Alien 3 on VHS tape. Weird!

NEW VIDEO: I chat about some new LaserDiscs i've added to my collection! youtu.be/NfGjq23K5dc

I know @oliverharper.bsky.social will be interested in this one! I also keep seeing this soundtrack CD in many second hand stores lately.
