I'm glad I wore my heels, because they're the most practical way to travel through the Namibian desert." 196 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:53,000 szvan: I really hope she's wearing sunscreen on those. 197 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:56,000 blakestacey: @drskyskull LOL! 198 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:58,000 brx0: Wait, the wall says "Kavango" but they're flying a Polish flag.

We have much free time for, how you say, hashtag meme games." 205 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:18,000 DrRubidium: sorry, was that a bottle of Jack Daniels?

"Not if the synth chords are any clue." 216 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:32,000 DrRubidium: No, I don't think it's safe. That ominous music tells me things are going south very quickly. 217 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:36,000 lousycanuck: "Look, an abandoned adobe house. Think it's safe?" "No, of course not. That would be silly." 218 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:45,000 drskyskull: The solo instrumental background music makes me picture them being followed by a wandering troubadour. 219 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:52,000 brx0: Watch out! Some guy with a bow & arrow is after you! Because they do that!

I would have aimed a bit lower and to the right though. 222 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:26,000 brx0: #protip for evil minions: When you rush in, don't go Huaaaagh! to alert our heroes first. 223 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:02,000 lousycanuck: "At least we're out of danger now.

No, wait, this is a desert.

Those are the worst fight sound effects EVER. 234 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:23,000 drskyskull: "Tell me who you work for, or I'll move my fist towards you and make a sound like I'm punching a slab of meat again." 235 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:27,000 szvan: Oh, come on. At least synch up the punch foley! 236 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:31,000 drskyskull: @szvan I'm assuming he hit him so hard he ripped a hole in the fabric of time itself. 237 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:12,000 lousycanuck: "What are you doing?" "I'm helping you!" "No, you're stealing my damn scene! I was gonna do another line and everything!" 238 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:37,000 lousycanuck: That horse's walking like it's drunk. Then again, I'd have to be drunk to be in this movie too. 239 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:43,000 szvan: No, the horse does not *gallop* across the desert for you. 240 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,000 drskyskull: "Okay, after we find your father, we're going to find this f%&king singer and shut him up once and for all." 241 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:03,000 DrRubidium: HOLY SHIT!

Uh, huh. 247 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:46,000 drskyskull: "I'll go tonight and see what I can find under cover of darkness. Because it's dark at night. And people can't see me. At night." 248 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:53,000 DrRubidium: thank God there wasn't a sex scene 249 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:56,000 lousycanuck: Oh man. I don't think I could have withstood a sex scene right then. @DrRubidium 250 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:23,000 drskyskull: Brandon Lee's attempt at a "passionate" gaze said to me: "I'm about to have severe diarrhea." 251 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:32,000 szvan: Sure there's no support under that dress. This movie had already broken all credibility, but really? 252 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:43,000 blakestacey: man, they found one voyeuristic synth player. 253 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:44,000 drskyskull: "Vich room?"

Let's just sit and...process that a while, shall we. 268 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:43,000 szvan: And now we get to the laser nuclear weapon. Can we hope this is the nadir? 269 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:50,000 lousycanuck: This is some very specialized knowledge that Ernest Boobs-dad knows, to turn a laser plus a diamond into a nuke. 270 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:03,000 lousycanuck: "At last we meet." "I'd love to shake hands... but I'm a germophobe." 271 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:09,000 blakestacey: Turns out the other secret ingredient in the doomsday machine is lame one-liners. 272 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:38,000 drskyskull: No matter how bad the science is in this film, it's no worse than Keanu Reeves as a nuclear engineer in "Chain Reaction". 273 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:43,000 blakestacey: Hey, Keanu graduated from the same PhD program as Christmas Jones! 274 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:05,000 szvan: I'd be more impressed with Lee as an actor if he looked over the people he wanted to fuck and those he wanted to kill...differently. 275 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:26,000 drskyskull: "Sporting chance." "Ve're going to play Russian roulette... vith my automatic." 276 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:43,000 DrRubidium: that's a LOT of dead animals in one room 277 01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:51,000 blakestacey: "Yes, I keep the diamond in this unlocked wooden box." 278 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:57,000 drskyskull: Isn't that the same trophy room they filmed the end of "Roadhouse" in? 279 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:19,000 blakestacey: "I intend to kill you and rescue the professor and his daughter."

Knowing this movie's track record, it's probably in Egypt. 291 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:17,000 szvan: And here is where we rebuild the pyramids. 292 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:26,000 DrRubidium: how the fuck did the Cuban soldiers end up in Namibia? 293 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:42,000 drskyskull: @blakestacey MST3k call sign!!! :) 294 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:11,000 blakestacey: "Have you gathered the dynamite and placed in the boobs? -Damn it." 295 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:16,000 lousycanuck: "Have you planted the dynamite in the mine?" "As you orde- wait, did you say MINE? DAMMIT Miguel, he said MINE, not MIME." 296 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:22,000 DrRubidium: #FFS why are there German's running the mine? Slaves? 297 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:35,000 szvan: "No, see, if you just don't build the middle of each wall, it'll look like a ruin!" 298 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:40,000 DrRubidium: when did Lee have time to get a new outfit? 299 01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:55,000 lousycanuck: Worst barber ever. She already shaved her cleavage once today, it can't possibly have more than a little stubble by now. 300 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:05,000 blakestacey: OK, slapstick comedy to Holocaust-style mass executions in, what, 60 minutes? 301 01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:09,000 szvan: @blakestacey Are you sure you don't mean seconds? 302 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:20,000 DrRubidium: holy Christ, he gave Borgnine a gun 303 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:24,000 drskyskull: @DrRubidium #friendlyfire 304 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:42,000 szvan: I'm not sure she hit the right guy with the shovel. 305 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:05,000 szvan: Bra strap! See, I told you there was support under there. 306 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:31,000 szvan: All right. I'll give her props. She's the first person who looked like she wanted to shoot a gun in this whole movie. 307 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:24,000 DrRubidium: he was Russian? The fuck you say! That was a German accent for sure! 308 01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:32,000 lousycanuck: No, sweetie, look, I know it's a horrible movie but don't slit your wrists - oh , the straps. Okay. Thank goodness. 309 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:49,000 drskyskull: Since when do Cuban soldiers go, "Yee-hah!"? 310 01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:23,000 lousycanuck: Wow, that gunshot wound sure did knock the wind out of Brandon Lee. 311 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:58,000 szvan: Dammit. I'm almost out of booze, and we still have "movie" left. 312 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:09,000 drskyskull: Now she's going to cut off the buttons of his jacket one by one, then lower one shoulder of his jacket... 313 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:46,000 blakestacey: "Can't be bitten by the woman"? 314 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:11,000 drskyskull: I'm really pissing off my wife, BTW - I keep cackling at random times. 315 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:32,000 lousycanuck: No don't hit that stick! IT'S A TRAP! 316 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:42,000 DrRubidium: cause in African mines, the diamonds are just laying around like rocks 317 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:10,000 szvan: Wow. Their stunt coordinator really has a fetish for tumbling downhill. 318 01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:19,000 lousycanuck: A MEXICAN stand-off? Quick, someone make a reference to China. Make this a world tour. 319 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:25,000 drskyskull: @lousycanuck "Ah, you're going with the traditional Antarctic gambit, followed by the Mauritius manuever." 320 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:12,000 DrRubidium: explosions don't do that to people 321 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:24,000 blakestacey: Director's vision: "And for the third act, I see...lots of people...shooting things!" 322 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:41,000 lousycanuck: "Secure the vehicle. Right. Wait, what is vehicle?" 323 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:11,000 DrRubidium: you've got to be fucking kidding! Nobody could survive that fall down a fucking mine shaft! 324 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:15,000 szvan: And now it becomes a zombie movie. A bad one, of course, like the bad spy movie, bad romantic comedy, and bad slapstick. 325 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:20,000 lousycanuck: "Thank goodness that bulletproof vest saved me from that fall into the crevice." 326 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:25,000 drskyskull: Seriously, Russian dude, it would be better for everyone if you just stayed in the mine. 327 01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:19,000 lousycanuck: "Looks like we narrowly averted... an explosive situation." YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!! 328 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:24,000 drskyskull: ...but the explosion doesn't kill him, because he was also wearing his flame-and-explosive-proof vest! 329 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:51,000 drskyskull: So, is Borgnine German, Russian, or Cuban? 330 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:55,000 lousycanuck: @drskyskull Why choose? The writers didn't! 331 01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:59,000 drskyskull: @lousycanuck I'm going with Gerrussiancube. 332 01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:03,000 DrRubidium: this movie has the worst collection of fake accents I've ever heard 333 01:19:54,000 --> 01:20:00,000 lousycanuck: Hahahah! They stole the helicopter! Comedy! *crash, explode* Awww. 334 01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:13,000 blakestacey: This movie's attempts at zaniness just leave me going, "Wait, what?" 335 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:28,000 DrRubidium: taking "villain never dies" to a whole new level 336 01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:36,000 lousycanuck: Holy shit, he WAS wearing an explosion-proof suit. And probably car-crash-proof underwear. 337 01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:41,000 drskyskull: ...but he's still not dead, because he's wearing his getting-rammed-through-a-brick-wall-by-a-jeep-vest! 338 01:20:54,000 --> 01:21:00,000 szvan: Just keep moving. He's one of the slow zombies. 339 01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:14,000 DrRubidium: that movie was AWFUL. 340 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:22,000 lousycanuck: "But who's the rightful owner?" "You're looking at him, ha ha." *toss toss* *snatch* "Hey, give it back!" 341 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:28,000 blakestacey: More SMUG than has EVER been in a single freeze-frame before! 342 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:33,000 drskyskull: "Now let's go to Filthy Vinnie's Pawn Shop and hock this sucker!" 343 01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:38,000 blakestacey: Wait one goddamn minute. I WAS PROMISED LASERS. 344 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:44,000 drskyskull: This is another one of those films where I assume the crew names are all pseudonyms. 345 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:55,000 blakestacey: "Like a dream within a dream"? Fun fact: this was the original rejected theme song for INCEPTION. 346 01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:59,000 lousycanuck: @blakestacey Oh, and they had that scene where he had to spin the diamond to see if he was in the dream, right! 347 01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:09,000 drskyskull: So, what have we learned from tonight's adventure? 348 01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:14,000 lousycanuck: Lesson from this movie: he's a mercenary man. Mercenary. Mercenary man. Mercenary ma-a-an. 349 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:19,000 drskyskull: I learned that it's poor spycraft to be followed around everywhere by 80's theme music. 350 01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:24,000 DrRubidium: what did we learn? Cuba is actually in Africa! 351 01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:29,000 szvan: I learned that almost all 80s soundtracks really are as bad as I remember them being. 352 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:34,000 lousycanuck: I learned that you can make repeated hamfisted passes at the hot blonde spy and she'll break mission protocol and sleep with you. 353 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:39,000 lousycanuck: I learned that there are actually 80s movies without cute animals. 354 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:43,000 szvan: @lousycanuck Lion cubs! Or didn't you see those near the breasts? 355 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:47,000 lousycanuck: @szvan Right, do you remember the time index for that? Need to rewind to see the... cubs. 356 01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:56,000 blakestacey: @szvan @lousycanuck Wait, there were breasts? 357 01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:02,000 drskyskull: @szvan @lousycanuck @blakestacey Yes, but that prude Borgnine refused to remove his shirt. 358 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:11,000 lousycanuck: I learned that dogged determination to kill the hero will get you through three near death experiences, but not four. 359 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:41,000 szvan: No identification with actual countries was intended or should be inferred. 360 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:06,000 drskyskull: @szvan "Any similarity to actual persons, places or events was really, genuinely, accidental." 361 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:20,000 blakestacey: @drskyskull @szvan "We mean, really, if there WERE a resemblance, oh jesus, we'd be so, so sorry."
