I talked about it on the podcast last week but now you can watch the 1970′s lost horror classic, Horror Express.  Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing take a break from trying to kill each other in the Hammer Dracula series to team up to take down a bloodthirsty Yeti monster that’s melting people’s brains on a train speeding through Siberia.  Telly Savalas c0-stars as a Russian Cossack captain.  It’s a really fun movie that has a new twist on your information about the monster every 15-20 minutes and it’s great to see Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing doing science and teaming up and there’s a bunch of other crazy characters on the train as well like spies, chess playing physicists, crazy monks and a Russian count and countess.  Check out the whole movie below.

Hulu brings us one of the best Jackie Chan movies, available in full below, with Supercop aka Police Story 3.  Jackie Chan stars as Hong Kong cop Kevin Ka-Kui who joins forces with Interpol agent Jessica Yang (Michelle Yeoh) to take down a druglord named Chaibat.  Kevin and Jessica go undercover with Kevin having to engage in an elaborate prison break to gain the trust of Chaibat’s underling, Panther.  There’s tons of amazing action sequences including a jungle raid on one of Chaibat’s drug deals and the finale involving a helicopter and a train and it’s awesome to have arguably the greatest male and female martial arts action stars teaming up in the same movie.  Check out the movie below.

Hulu put a bunch of new movies up for the new year and one of them is Robert Rodriguez’s dead on adaptation of Frank Miller’s Sin City comics.  Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Elijah Wood, Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro, Rosario Dawson and many more, the movies follows a bunch of characters in interweaving stories as they try and survive the crime ridden streets of Sin City (not to be confused with Las Vegas).  The movie manages to match the stylish black and white of the comics with jarring flashes of color.  Check out the whole movie below.

Jean Claude Van Damme stars as ex-legionnaire Lyon Gaultier in the 1990 action movie, “Lionheart”, where Van Damme does what he’s best at and that’s getting into one on one martial arts battles i.e. Bloodsport and Kickboxer.  Lyon is trying to get to Los Angeles to help his brother after his brother’s wife is horribly burned by a gang of drug dealers.  The foreign legion refuses to let Lyon leave so he beats up a bunch of them and hops a tramp steamer to New York City, where he becomes involved in the world of underground street fighting.  It’s definitely a second tier entry to the fighting genre of Van Damme movies but it’s still pretty dumb, action fun and Brian “Night Slasher” Thompson co-stars.  Check out the whole movie below.

Despite his recent efforts, I don’t think any action fan can deny that Steven Seagal’s first five movies are all action classics.  It’s hard to pick a favorite out of them but I think a lot of people would choose 1991′s Out for Justice if they had to make a choice.  Seagal stars as the super Italian Brooklyn cop Gino Felino, who is, as the title suggests, out for justice when his best friend, and fellow cop, is gunned down by coked out wannabe gangster Richie Madano.  William Forsythe is amazingly unhinged as Richie and Law & Order OG Jerry Orbach is there to lend moral support to Gino.  The famous “Where’s Richie?” bar scene is worth the price of admission and you can check out the whole movie below.

A classic of the 80′s ninja genre, Pray for Death stars Sho Kosugi as a mild mannered Japanese business man, Akira Saito, who has a secret past as a master of ninjitsu.  He moves his family to America at his wife’s behest and they buy a restaurant in a horrible section of the New Orleans looking city they move to.  Unknown to the family, a criminal gang has been hiding a cache of stolen diamonds in the abandoned cigar store connected to the restaurant but they go missing and a things quickly spiral out of control until Akira is forced to unleash his full ninja arsenal against the criminals.  It’s super cheesy in the best way possible and you can watch the whole movie, thanks to YouTube and whatever studio that has the rights to Pray for Death not caring.

Just in time for this weekend is the original slasher classic, Halloween.  John Carpenter brings us the unrelenting killer that is Michael Myers, who proves there is nothing more frightening than a white William Shatner mask.  Jamie Lee Curtis stars as Laurie Strode, whose Halloween babysitting gig goes horribly awry when Myers escapes from the insane asylum he was living at and goes on a murdering spree.  Donald Pleasance co-stars as the incredibly bad ass Dr. Loomis, who is the only man who understands what Myers is capable of and how to stop him.  Besides the iconic look of Myers, the movie also has one of the most famous themes of all time, composed by Carpenter himself.  Check out the full movie below, courtesy of Hulu.

It’s been a while since we’ve had an Everything Action Theater entry but, man, do we have a doosy right here.  Cool As Ice was the first (and last) starring vehicle for one Vanilla Ice, who stars as Johnny, leader of a motorcycle gang who roll into a small town where Johnny becomes infatuated with the WASPy Kathy.  Unfortunately, Kathy’s father is in witness protection after he ratted out a couple of his fellow police officers for corruption but a local news report about Kathy’s achievements cause the corrupt cops to come looking for revenge.  There’s way too many awesomely bad scenes to list, from Ice trying to impress Kathy by jumping his cycle in front of her horse, almost killing her, to Ice’s classic line of “Drop that Zero and get with the Hero”.  If there was a hall of fame for awesomely bad, cheesy movies, Cool as Ice would be one of the first inaugurated.  Check out the whole crazy thing below, courtesy of Hulu.

From the depths of cinematic hell come Deadfall.  Michael Biehn stars as the son of a con man who journeys to California to find his uncle after his father is killed on a job.  But who cares about the plot when this movie features the single most insane Nicolas Cage performance, who co-stars as Eddie, the right hand man of Michael Biehn’s uncle.  Cage seems drunk, coked out or both in every single scene he is in, his accent changes in the middle of scenes, he randomly just starts shouting at people and he has one of the most ridiculous deaths in movie history.  It is an absolutely amazing example of a director just saying, “You can do whatever the hell you want”.  As if Cage wasn’t enough insanity for you, later in the film there’s a potential con target who is basically a Bond villain, complete with a pneumatic pincer for a hand.  Other than these insane characters, the movie is a really basic con artist movie, which makes Cage and Dr. Claw all the more crazy when you see them.  You can watch the whole crazy mess right here, thanks to Hulu.

It’s been in the works for a little while now, but Cartoon Network and Adult Swim have put up the pilot for the new animated TV series “Black Dynamite”. “Dynamite” is based off the 2009 “neo-blaxplotation” movie starring Michael Jai White. The best part is that all the voices from the original live-action movie are doing the cartoon as well. The show is directed by The Boondocks’ Carl Jones and animated by Titmouse, who have done other Adult Swim animated shows such as Metalocalypse, Super Jail and the somewhat similar Afro Samurai. The series is currently scheduled to premiere sometime next year.

The latest movie to be featured in our Everything Action Theater falls firmly in the “awesomely/hilariously bad” category with 2002′s Reign of Fire.  Starring a pre-Batman Christian Bale and an insane, bald and tattooed Matthew McCoughney, Reign of Fire follows a group of survivors in England who are trying to hide from the dragons who have taken over the planet.  McCoughney and his band of American troops arrive to hunt down the main dragon they believe is living in the ruins of London.  The special effects are still pretty damn good but the story and characters are completely ridiculous.  It’s fun to watch by itself but I highly recommend you pick up the Rifftrax and watch them together.  You can check out the whole movie below, thanks to Hulu.

Rifftrax has made their way to Hulu with a number of their shorts and feature length commentaries becoming available for free.  All of them are well worth checking out but the one we’re featuring here on Everything Action is the original victim of Rifftrax, Night of the Living Dead.  Originally just riffed by Mike Nelson, this new version features Mike and his MST3K cohorts Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett as they make George Romero’s zombie classic a whole lot less scary and a lot more funny.  You can watch the whole movie below and definitely head over to Rifftrax’s page on Hulu to check out their other movie and short films.

Hulu launched another series with a 24 alum this week as Xander “George Mason” Berkeley stars in The Booth at the End. Berkeley plays a mysterious man who has set up shop at a diner and takes meetings with people who have wishes or problems that need to be solved.  This man promises to help, but only if his clients perform certain tasks for him, some of which are especially horrible or dangerous (for example, one man wishes to save his son from a terminal illness but he has to kill someone else’s child to save him).  It’s got a very Twilight Zone feel and it’s extremely interesting, even though the action never leaves the booth at the diner.  There are 62 short episodes but Hulu is going to be combining them into 20 minute or so episodes and releasing them every Monday till August 8th.  Check out the first episode below.

Hulu has been adding movies from the Criterion collection to it’s selection of movies for a while now, but they have always been for HuluPlus members only.  Well, one that is available to everyone is the original 1956 Godzilla, the first ever appearance by the King of the Monsters.  Since this is the American version, Raymond Burr was added as a reporter who is in Tokyo when Godzilla arrives to begin his rampage.  If you’ve never seen the original Godzilla, stop what you are doing and watch it right now, the whole movie is below.

Hulu has a new batch of movies up and one of them is the lost Dennis Quaid 80′s adventure, Dreamscape.  Long before Leonardo DiCaprio and crew were traveling into the different layers of dreams, Quaid’s Alex Gardner was traveling into dreams as part of a secret experiment to help people plagued by chronic nightmares.  As they are want to do, corrupt government officials want to use the experiment as a weapon, sending dream assassins in to kill targets with no trace that anything has happened.  Dreamscape co-stars Max Von Sydow, David Patrick Kelly (aka Sully from Commando), Christopher Plummer and Kate Capshaw.  Check out the whole movie below.

Hulu brings us the classic Kevin Smith comedy Clerks, in full below.  Follow the misadventures of convenience store clerk Dante Hicks as he suffers through a day of work he’s not even supposed to be there for.  With his friend Randall Graves hanging around, Dante has to deal with irate anti cigarette crusaders, bizarre OCD customers, a rooftop hockey game, the death of one of his ex girlfriends and more.  Outside the store, we follow the antics of pot dealers Jay and Silent Bob.  Check out the whole movie below.

We talked about it on this week’s Everything Actioncast and now, here’s your chance to watch the whole pinball documentary, “Special When Lit”.  The documentary covers all the aspects of pinball, from a brief history to the major players to the company that still cranks them out to the obsessive collectors who hoard them in their houses.  If you’re a fan of King of Kong, you’ll probably like Special When Lit.  Check out the whole movie below, courtesy of Hulu.

Premiering all over the place last week was the full, uncensored version of the short film/music video comedy mashup that is the Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right (Revisited)”.   Starring Elijah Wood, Danny McBride and Seth Rogen as the 80′s Beasties, the short follows what happens when the trio leaves the famous party from “Fight your Right (to Party)” and causes shenanigans on the streets of NYC.  Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly and Jack Black show up as the future Beasties, who travel back in time to challenge the younger Beasties to a dance off.  There’s also a ton of cameos from other celebs as well.  Check out the whole video below.

To fill in the gap before the fifth season of Burn Notice starts up this summer, USA gave us a movie prequel featuring everyone’s favorite ex-Navy SEAL, Sam Axe.  In classic Sam fashion, he runs afoul of a Navy Admiral by sleeping with his wife and as punishment, gets sent down to Colombia to assist the local military with a situation involving some violent rebels.  Things aren’t as they appear however and Sam has to save a clinic full of sick patients and whip a ragtag group into a fighting force.  It’s super fun and full of not just Burn Notice inside jokes but Bruce Campbell jokes as well.  Thanks to Hulu, you can check out the full movie below, so grab a mojito and your best Hawaiian shirt and fire it up.

It’s been over a year since we last saw Keifer Sutherland in action on 24 but he’s back to kick ass in a new Hulu web series called “The Confession”.  Keifer plays a hitman who goes to a church to confess to the priest (John Hurt) about his past sins.  At first the priest doesn’t want anything to do with it but is forced to listen to the confessor after he threatens to kill a pair of women in the church if he doesn’t listen to the man.  The men debate the nature of evil and the nature of God as we get flashbacks to things the Confessor has done in the past.  It’s classic Keifer, who’s definitely in Jack Bauer mode but with the added bonus of being able to drop f-bombs at will since this is the internet.  Three episodes debuted today (the 28th) and there will be 10 in total.  You can watch Episode 1 below:
