THE ACTION FIX PODCAST

For the first time ever, I take on two movies at the same time to let you know if they’re Action-Flix Approved. On this episode of The Action Fix it’s a double shot of Michael Jai White as I review his two latest action movies The Island & As Good As Dead. Both feature Michael doing what he does best so The Action Fix returns for season 5 with a double fisted attack of one of action cinema’s premi...

Action filmmaker Brandon Slagle has quickly become my go to guy for getting my adrenaline fix on streaming sites. Coincidentally, Slagle started with horror films as a director but has since moved into the high-octane game and with fine results I might add. Slagle helmed last year’s Battle for Saipan which made it onto my best of 2022 list with its eclectic mix of war action and devastating hand t...

Filmmaker Jesse V. Johnson is back in the director's chair and this time he's doing what he does best as he gives us the old-school action-packed thriller One Ranger starring The Punisher himself Thomas jane in a role he was meant to play. One Ranger stars Jane as a Texas Ranger circa Nick Notle's Jack Benteen in Extreme Prejudice as he unites with an MI-6 operative played by his The Expanse co-st...

You all know that I'm a GI Joe fan. Yes, from the late "70's when the toy line was but a few characters who were much bigger than the 80's line to today, I bleed YO Joe from sunup to sundown. When Marvel introduced the comic book and subsequent toy line in 1982, I was 9 years old, so this was right in my wheelhouse as I was the perfect age for what they were selling. The characters, the vehicles,...

This Friday sees the release of Saban Films’ newest action-thriller The Best Man. Starring Brendan Fehr, Luke Wilson and Dolph Lundgren, the movie pits a trio of ex-spec ops warriors against a former comrade from their past when the latter crashes a wedding.

30 years ago this year, the martial arts community was devastated when actor, and son of Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee was killed while filming The Crow. Brandon was something special. He was in the shadows of his famous father for his whole life, but he was just starting to emerge into the light and make a name for himself as not only an action star but a genuine Hollywood star. What could have been. Le...

From Keanu Reeves returning as the lone wolf assassin John Wick to the stellar supporting cast that includes martial arts action stars Donnie Yen, S...

Jock up and join me as I cover my first ten most anticipated action movies of 2023 (or 2024) as the case may be.

Be sure to stay tuned for Round 2 next week! Lock ‘N’ Load because we’re going...

In the realm of action cinema, Sarah Chang is a genuine threat. The Wushu trained martial arts champion, actress, fight coordinator and most important of all, mother of two gave one of the best performances in last year's Scott Adkins led sequel Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday as Wong Su-Ling who is ally and abuser to Adkins' Mike Fallon. Chang stole the show in so many ways and the actress has all...

It's the second pinch me moment in as many days as today I had the distinct pleasure to chat with genre icon Brian Thompson who is best known for his roles in Terminator, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Lionheart with JCVD and of course as the infamous Night Slasher in Sylvester Stallone's classic 1986 cop actioner Cobra. His role in that film remains to this day one of the scariest and most formidab...

It’s one of those pinch me moments once again on this latest episode of the Action Fix Podcast here at Action-Flix.com. I just had the greatest chat with one of my favorite genre actors of all time. I’ve been there since the early 80’s with him and he has given me countless hours of entertainment to this day. He’s Jester in Top Gun, Major Paul Hackett in Extreme Prejudice, Ham Tyler in V and of co...

I'm a little late to the party with my review of Alexander Nevsky's first foray into the western genre with Gunfight at Rio Bravo but it's finally here and with the film readying a UK release, well then I'm early in that regard. The former 3X Mr. Universe turned action star and filmmaker has issued several indie action films to date but with his first six-barrel blazing western, Nevsky has finally...

It's a week in since I had my shoulder surgery and the reviews are starting to flow through me and next up on the Action Fix Podcast is the newly release The Weapon starring Tony Schiena, Sean Patrick Flanery and Cuba Gooding Jr. Schiena has always been one of my favorite action tough guys and I feel he is severely underrated in action cinema. Unfortunately, The Weapon which he also directed, show...

Filmmaker Christian Sesma is definitely a talent to be known when it comes to independent action cinema. The director of such high octane flicks such as The Night Crew, Paydirt and last year’s Every Last One of Them, is a craftsman who knows how to take limited resources while on set and deliver films that genre fans want to see. His latest project, Section 8, is his most ambitious film yet as he...

Writer/Producer and good friend of Action-Flix Chad Law makes his first appearance on The Action Fox Podcast! Law stops by and we talk about all his previous movies as well as his latest Section Eight which stars Ryan Kwanten, Dermot Mulroney, Dolph Lundgren and Scott Adkins. We get in depth about the movie and why it’s an awesome, old school kick ass action flick. We even go off subject and talk...

Once meant for Jason Statham, Woody Harrelson has since stepped in as a deadly assassin who gets more than he bargained for when he runs into an inept sales consultant played by Kevin Hart. The punchlines fly as fast as the bullets in this new buddy action/comedy courtesy of Netflix. Does it live up to past films like this or does it fall to the sidelines? Check out our review now to find out!

On this latest episode of The Action Fix Podcast, we action rewind to 1986 and delve into the under appreciated action film Let’s Get Harry.

They have no skills or tactical knowledge to fill a paper bag, but they’re going down to...
