Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
38:24 – 41:12… a lot of sharp things pointing up or down, you're like, this will come into play. I've seen enough action movies. I know somebody's dying somewhere. I had Apex Mountain. The cave. I think it's an Apex Mountain for that. Next one I have is the callback of Sly has to save Janine Turner's character with the glove pull. Yeah. It's nice. Dramatic. He honestly might have tried a little harder because he loved her. Yeah. He left me with some questions with Sarah. And no one was screaming at him. You know, he could concentrate. Right. Rooker didn't mess his concentration. And that leads right into our guy Frank …

But Bruce Willis and Van Damme get the hell beaten out of him. And it was fun to see Sly go that way. Also, the cave. Once we're in there and there's just a lot of sharp things pointing up or down, you're like, this will come into play. I've seen enough action movies. I know somebody's dying somewhere. I had Apex Mountain. The cave. I think it's an Apex Mountain for that. Next one I have is the callback of Sly has to save Janine Turner's character with the glove pull. Yeah. It's nice. Dramatic. He honestly might have tried a little harder because he loved her. Yeah. He left me with some questions with Sarah. And no one was screaming at him. You know, he could concentrate. Right. Rooker didn't mess his concentration. And that leads right into our guy Frank getting killed. Yeah. So we go from Turner's save to Frank. Rooker gets another. No. I know. And then a really great, this man never hurt anybody. This man never hurt anybody. Touch it. Which is one of my favorite action lines. Do you think there was ever a take, Bill, when Harlan came in and was like, hey, Mike, it's great. We'll just take it down a couple notches. I know you're going for it. Can we just try it? It's a little much. No. It's so much. It's great. I love when Lithgow just cuts it down with the touching. Oh, yeah. Well, speaking of Rooker, I think this is going to win. This would have won for me if it wasn't for the opening scene. Go on. Go on. I just wrote down Delmar versus Rooker. The brawl to settle the score. Delmar, you're a loudmouth punk slag who's about to die. Maybe. But in a minute, I'll be dead and you'll always be an asshole. And we're off. And Delmar is just doing this whole English Premier League thing. Striker lines up at the penalty spot. He focuses on the ball. The crowd is on his feet. Striker moves to his left. Draws back his foot. He comes in. It's unbelievable. Did Delmar predict the rise of the English Premier League? I don't know. I was watching that scene. I had forgotten that that happened. And I'm looking at it at this racist, asshole, henchman, soccer fan. And I was like, is this the low point for soccer in the United States of America? Oh, interesting. It's like, I know we missed the 2018 World Cup, but the guy going play by play as he kicks the shit out of a man on the ground. I was like, this is the strangest scene in a very strange. I found that scene baffling. All right. So let's talk this out. This movie comes out in 93. Go on. And they're like, how do we make this guy more evil? He loves soccer.
74:20 – 79:08… and just the glove just wouldn't come off wow this was a hot time in American culture for gloves that fit and don't fit weren't they seriously coming up big Apex Mountain Apex Mountain ill-fitting gloves there it is and then Stallone hurt his hand on one of the cliffs but it wasn't really on a cliff it was on the soundstage of the fake cliff that they had on the green screen but then Stallone in the press for the movie said he hurt his hand in one of the one of the cliff climbing scenes rock climbing scenes right Apex Mountain gloves gloves fitting big uh Slice Stallone no I think Janine Turner yes she's …
