Watched EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM (2021). Imagine photocopying an action film, then photocopying the copy over and over. Eventually, you’d get something like this.

I may have made this observation before, but I'm struck again how much Leonardo DiCaprio looks like airbrushed, DTV era John Travolta.

He's now working under the name Michael Shannon.
Can you help?
We would love to get in touch with star of 'The Brothers', Malcolm Stoddard?
Does anybody out there know Malcolm? Or is able to connect us with him? Please get in touch if you can help. Many thanks.

Micro-budget sharksploitation flick. The shark jumps out the water and blows up the helicopter in case you're wondering.

Watched TRACK OF THE CAT (1954). This really isn't a love story as the poster exclaims. Although that's a better sales pitch than saying 'ponderous psychological western'.

A film is always improved by a helicopter explosion. And they blow up in films more frequently than you might think, and in ways you never imagined. So, here are all the films I've found with at least...

Seeing this picture makes me think Jack Hargreaves could have been the ultimate ‘old man with skills’ action star.

Watched THE BEST MAN (1964) Absorbing political drama with Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson competing to be the presidential nominee by fair means and foul. Can imagine the political skullduggery packed more of a punch in '64, but it hasn't dated. Currently on Prime in the UK.
