Bop’s Accident Man 2 review

-



If there is a guy in Hollywood who really deserves our support it is Scott Adkins. For years Scott Adkins has been carrying the english spoken action genre on his shoulders. He loves making action movies and it shows. You can see and feel the passion he has for them and you know he puts in the effort. Not all his movies are great but for the past few years Scott has grown so much as an action man and as an actor. It started with Boyka Undisputed and continued with Accident Man, The Debt Collector, Triple Threat and Avengement. And now Accident Man 2 Hitman’s Holiday has arrived.

Accident Man is Scott Adkins’ passion project. He got introduced to the Accident Man comic when he was a kid and a few years ago he got the chance to make the first Accident Man movie and it was a blast. I couldn’t get enough of that movie and have rewatched it many times since. Mike Fallon was such an awesome character. When I heard there would be an Accident Man 2 I got very hyped up. This was my most anticipated movie of 2022 and my expectations were high. Then I saw Jesse V. Johnson was not the director and I got this feeling that the movie would not match up to the first Accident Man. I never heard of the Kirby brothers before, who were gonna direct this. I got serious doubts.

So was the sequel any good? The answer is :

HELL YEAH!!!

The Malta scenery was fantastic and gave his movie a summer holiday vibe. I loved the Pink Panther movies references in which Scott Adkins was Inspector Clouseau and Sarah Chang was Cato. The movie started a bit slow but when shit hit the fan the movie was a rollercoaster ride and gave me a Midnight Run feeling comedy-wise. I could hardly breathe from all the laughing I did with a few very funny scenes in the movie. The last time I saw a actual funny movie was the first Accident Man, but in part 2 the fun got amped up.


If you don’t find this scene funny fuck off and never watch a movie again


The bad guys were fantastic, which Poco The Clown (Beau Fowler) being the break-out star. I got Final Fight (the video game) vibes from all the bad guys. They all delivered in the action scenes. And the action scenes? Man, Scott leveled up with this movie. Scott and the crew really delivered with this. When the action started it was one big roller coast ride. This movie had it all and I was so happy that Scott Adkins got this result.

Poco is a bit loco

My only gripe was :

WHY WAS THIS NOT RELEASED IN THE CINEMAS IN THE NETHERLANDS? 

I would have gone to the cinema again, which I stopped doing because of all the abysmal movies that played there for the past 10 years. This was a movie that deserves to be seen in a cinema. This was a movie that needed to re-show us why we fell in love with action movies in the first place. A movie that reminded us of how we went to the video rental stores to rent the newest Chan, Van Damme or Seagal movie.

Scott Adkins deserved better. He is keeping the action genre alive in the western world. And don’t get me started on the John Wick movies. They are good but they are not Scott Adkins levels of good.

I hope the Accident Man series will get more sequels. And while we are at it I hope there will be an Avengement sequel, because Cain Burgess is a badass.

And did you notice Scott Adkins has 3 iconic roles? He has Boyka, he has Cain Burgess and he has Mike Fallon. Not many actors can say that. I hope Scott Adkins continues to do what he loves and brings us more iconic roles. Iconic role number 4 will probably his role in John Wick 4. Can’t wait to see that too.


Russian bad boy. Not Ukrainian.


Super badass Cain Burgess



Bless you, Scott Adkins. I hope you make a lot more movies to come!

List of Shame: Celebrities who signed a petition to free Polanski!

The Oscar's is soon approaching and while this year's 55th Academy Awards will take extra precaution due to a silly incident, let’s not forget how the hypocrites from the American Academy of Motion pictures and science, awarded Director "Raping" Roman Polanski for 2004's The Pianist as best picture. As of recent, one of Polanski's biggest fans, Harvey Weinstein has received an additional 16 year sentence for rape and sexual assault but prior to his scandalous trial, which more than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment and/or rape against the infamous producer. But prior to these allegations, leading to his sentencing, Weinstein formed a petition for the release of notorious Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl, as a result became a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, since 1978, after pledging guilty for his heinous crime. When Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, in correlation to h

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media. It pleases me that the living dead have rightfully taken their place as the great cinematic monster of our time when they used to be regarded as a mongrel sub-genre before George A. Romero’s seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead (1968) became the defining Horror movie of the last century. As I’ve said many times before, there are onl

Miami Vice: Freefall (Review and retrospective of the series finale.)

Miami Vice finale: Freefall (1989) Directed by Russ Mayberry Reviewer’s note: Originally, I planned on doing a write up last year which was the benchmark of this episode’s 30th anniversary but was either sidetracked or too lazy. So now, here we are. We had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner." That quote pretty much sums it all! 1989, was the bookend of the greatest decade of popular culture. The 1980's was on its way out. But before fading out, there was this finale of yet another great series which defined  this exciting decade: NBC's Miami Vice 1984-1989.  This Crime Drama was innovative on so many levels, be it the implementation of adding rock songs within scenarios,  Jan Hammer's amazing soundtrack, adult subject matter that at times were disturbing,  solid character arcs, the introduction of then unknown actors like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes just to name a few, the bromance between Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, gorgeous nightlife sc
