I really want to see how that role shows up in the credits.
No, no, and NO!
Any movie that has Danny Trejo in it cannot be the worst of anything.
Speaking of whom, have you ever looked at his list of credits? He’s gotta be the busiest B-grade actor in Hollywood.
Somewhere on that list is The Worst Movie With Danny Trejo In It. Maybe that’s OUATIM.
That’s the film I immediately thought of when I heard about Hardcore Henry. Well, that, and Crank.
It’s a lot like Crank. But it’s got Shartlo Copley in it. That guy is a genius as far as I’m concerned.
I tried reading the credits, waiting to see if there was a post-credits goodie. There wasn’t one.
You know how Stephen Tobolowsky says there’s three levels of credits?
1.) Named characters
2.) Jobbed characters
3.) Verbed/Adjectived characters
It’s almost entirely Jobbed and Verbed characters. Mostly “Henchman #x”. Or “Bystander” or “Exploded Bus Driver”. I can’t remember seeing that guy’s credit. But I’d guess it’s likely to be something like “Car Fetishist” or “fat brothel guy”.
To figure out why the movie was such a trainwreck as it was short making of documentary.
Bingo.
Good point! I haven’t seen everything in that list, but my candidate for worst Danny Trejo performance would be Breaking Wind. Even he couldn’t save that turkey. But hey, even Danny Trejo gotta pay the rent.
Mr Trejo is kinda like Michael Caine, in that he’ll apparently take any job that’s offered him as long as they pay his rate, and even if the movie’s a total steaming turd, he’ll be the best thing in it.
Solarbabies belongs on the “worst” list somewhere. Maybe not THE worst, but A worst.
I’m not sure the Fast & Furious director is exactly what I’d call good news, but I guess you can only go up after Into Snarkness.
Any time Michael Caine is mentioned, I will trot this out. Any. Time.
When Caine was asked about this movie (Jaws: The Revenge) in an interview, he answered, “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”
Didn’t he say that for The Swarm, too? Maybe that’s his trademark answer.
Maybe he just has that many houses.
I am now going to talk like Michael Caine for the rest of the evening.
…
Michael Caine.
It’s not a good movie; but it’s a pretty good movie for ‘Hyperspace is a Scary Place’.
Hey, as long as you’re doing that, maybe I’ll talk like Sam Elliot for the evening myself!
I am now going to talk like Richard Ayoade for the rest of the evening, though that often happens anyway.
