Movie Fighters

Here's what we knew about the new WWE Studios release, Countdown, going in: It stars Dolph Ziggler and Kane playing cops, part of it takes place at a WWE event, and it has Rusev holding a gun. It delivers on those promises, but not a whole lot else.  You can watch along with us on Amazon if you like, but it'll set you back at least four bucks.

We're back with another unsung Dolph Lundgren film! This time out, we're watching the first-ever movie adaptation of The Punisher, which was released direct-to-video in the United States. It's not a great movie, but it's a pretty shockingly accurate depiction of the late-80s Punisher, as he takes on Eurotrash and Samurai while saving kids from being sold into slavery. It's kind of the perfect VHS...

We're back and we're kicking off what may be March Mattel Madness with 1987's live-action Masters of the Universe movie, starring Dolph Lundgren! Our take: It ain't as bad as you think, though it's a horrible adaptation of the cartoon. Skeletor is pretty rad, though. Watch along with us on YouTube!

We're wrapping up Rapper/Actor Right Back Atcha with 2010's Gun, a movie that not only stars Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, but was also written by the illustrious rapper! It surprises us in a lot of ways, but they're not all positive. Val Kilmer proves to be great at being terrible, the plot is thin at best and a few characters speak as if they are robots! Watch along with us on iTunes or Amazon if yo...

We did it, everyone: We managed to continue Rapper/Actor: Right Back Atacha and celebrate Valentine's Day all in one show! The movie that helped us accomplish that mission? The 2000 Jet Li/Aaliyah romance(?) film Romeo Must Die (which also features DMX). But is it really a romance film? Well, that's debateable. They don't even kiss, which was the basis for some controversy. What does happen is tha...

Rapper/Actor: Right Back Atacha continues with this 1998 "comedy" starring Master P! We go in coming to the troubling realization that this movie could essentially be a 93-minute rap album skit, and, well, we're not altogether wrong. That means there's all the incumbent bad taste and plenty of just plain wasting time. Watch along with us on Netflix if you dare.

It's a new year and time for a new series on Movie Fighters! We're starting off 2016 with our long-awaited series of movies starring rappers, and we decided that a great kickoff would be the time-appropriate Ice Cube (and Xzibit) vehicle XXX: State of the Union! One of us liked this dumb, dumb movie with a overcomplicated plot more than the other. Try to guess which! You can watch along with us on...

It’s Christmas week, and we’re watching the brand new Miz Christmas movie (in a budding Movie Fighters tradition), Santa’s Little Helper! Unlike 2013’s Christmas Bounty,

It’s December, which means it’s time for us to dive into some holiday films!

Hasbrovember is coming to an explosive conclusion as we watch the 1986 animated Transformers movie! It doesn’t go so well, unfortunately.

You demanded it, so we watched the third movie in the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls series!

Spooktoberfest comes to a hard-hitting conclusion with our look at 2014’s wrestlers-vs.-zombies opus, aptly titled Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies.

Spooktoberfest kicks off and our first season comes to a close with a movie that we’ve been waiting for a very long time to watch: Vampirella!

Can the newest WWE film starring superstar and former Shield member Dean Ambrose possibly live up to the hype we’ve built up in our minds?

On this episode, we’re welcoming our first-ever special guest: The writer and artist of the luchador comic La Mano del Destino, J. Gonzo!

We’re wrapping up our series of pulp films with 1996’s The Phantom, a film that both of us remembered seeing, but neither of us really remembered.

We’re back with another pulp-inspired movie! We’re watching the 1994 Alec Baldwin vehicle The Shadow, and it does not go well.

We’re back with another pulp-inspired movie, and this time it’s a movie both of us were extremely excited about as children: 1990’s Dick Tracy!

We’re kicking off a new series here on Movie Fighters, our long-awaited series of movies based on pulp characters!

Our palate cleanser after the marathon that was all four Left Behind movies is 2015’s Russell Madness, and, well, we probably could have chosen better.

We did it. We finished the Left Behind series, and it goes out with a bang. That’s right: We’re watching Left Behind: World at War.

We’re back with the next film in the Left Behind franchise, and well, it’s a trial. A tribulation, you might say.

We’re back with our look at the movie adaptations of Left Behind! This time out, we’re watching the version that stars Nicolas Cage.

The end times are here, because on this episode, we’re watching the Kirk Cameron-starring adaptation of Left Behind from 2000!

After a short break, we’re back with a return to our roots, reviewing a movie based on a fighting game.
