For the latest Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris call the Ninjazords and watch 1995's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, which came out 30 years ago this month.

Released between the second and third season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the movie finds Tommy (Jason David Frank), Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson), Billy (David Yost), Adam (Johnny Young Bosch), Rocky (Steve Cardenas) and Aisha (Karan Ashley) up against their most dangerous foe yet, Ivan Ooze (Paul Freeman).  Released after 6,000 years trapped beneath Angel Grove, Ooze destroys the command center and Zordon's (Nicholas Bell) containment field, causing him to slowly die.  Without any powers, the Rangers have to make a treacherous journey to the planet Phaedos, where they seek to gain the "Great Power" and save the galaxy.  While watching the movie, Zach and Chris discuss how easy skydiving seems to be, how many of the side characters are blatantly Australian, how Ivan can reference things that happened while he was trapped, the terrible CGI, who Mordant is, one-time use powers and weapons, and more.  Unfortunately, the movie is not currently streaming, available to rent, or purchase anywhere. However, it has been uploaded to YouTube, allowing you to sync it up below with our commentary track and watch along.

Everything Action Commentary: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris try to avoid getting infected by the Rage Virus and discuss 2002's 28 Days Later as the third entry in the series, 28 Years Later, opens in theaters.

Cillian Murphy stars as Jim, a bike courier who awakens from a coma to find the world gone to hell.  An experimental virus, dubbed the Rage Virus, has escaped a UK lab and has spread across the entire country, almost instantly turning anyone infected into a violent monster.  Jim finds a few fellow survivors, played by Brendan Gleeson, Naomie Harris, and Megan Burns, and the group flees London to find a supposed safe haven being broadcast over the radio.  Zach and Chris discuss how it's never a good idea to try to free experimental lab animals in movies, the surprisingly upbeat middle portion of the movie, the horror of how quickly the Rage Virus turns people, Cillian Murphy's transformation into a killing machine during the movie's climax, and more.

You can rent 28 Days Later on Amazon, AppleTV, and Fandango At Home.  Next week, we reunite with a modern horror icon, M3GAN, as M3GAN 2.0 is opening in theaters.

28 Days Later (2002)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head into the jungle and discuss 1995's Congo for its 30th anniversary.

Based on the 1979 novel by Michael Crichton, an expedition heads deep into the jungles of the Congo.  Peter Elliott (Dylan Walsh) wants to bring his research gorilla, Amy, whom he has taught to communicate in sign language, back to where he believes she was born.  Karen Ross (Laura Linney) is looking for a missing expedition sent by her company, TraviCom, which was after special diamonds that could revolutionize the telecommunications business.  The expedition faces many perils on the way to their destination, from deadly hippos to the dangerous gray gorillas who guard the area around the Lost City of Zinj.  Zach and Chris discuss the tease of Bruce Campbell at the beginning of the movie, Taco Bell product placement, why TraviCom doesn't switch to manufacturing laser weapons, the suave coolness of Ernie Hudson, and more.

You can watch Congo on PlutoTV or rent or buy it from services like Amazon, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.  Next week, we try to avoid getting infected by the Rage Virus and revisit 28 Days Later as the long-awaited third entry in the series, 28 Years Later, hits theaters.

Congo (1995)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris get their asses to Mars and discuss 1990's Total Recall, which just turned 35.

Directed by Paul Verhoeven and based on the Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale", [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Can_Remember_It_for_You_Wholesale] Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Douglas Quaid, a construction worker who visits a company called Rekall, who can implant memories into clients minds.  Wanting a Martian spy adventure due to his constant dreams of Mars, the process unlocks Quaid's actual memories and he's forced to go on the run when people like his wife Lori (Sharon Stone) start trying to kill him and he makes his way to the actual Mars to figure out what is going on.  Zach and Chris discuss the ridiculously over-the-top violence, the many quotable lines and memorable Arnold expressions, the fantastic practical effects, why Mars would advertise their seedy red light district in commercials, the classic "is it real or a dream?" debate, and more.

You can watch Total Recall on Paramount+, Fubo, Philo, or MGM+.  Next week, we enter the African jungle and dive into Congo, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Total Recall (1990)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris go undercover with Fletch as the movie turns 40, releasing on May 31st, 1985.

Based on the first book in the Fletch series by Gregory Mcdonald, Chevy Chase is Irwin P. Fletcher aka Fletch. A reporter for the Los Angeles Times who writes under the pseudonym "Jane Doe", Fletch goes undercover and uses fake identities and disguises to pursue his leads. While investigating drug trafficking on the beaches of Los Angeles, Fletch is approached by Alan Stanwyck (Tim Matheson), who offers Fletch $50,000 to kill him, as he's dying of bone cancer. Fletch is suspicious and starts to dig into Stanwyck, uncovering a complicated scheme that involves fake real estate deals, multiple wives, suspicious flights to Utah, and more. Zach and Chris discuss the movie's excellent soundtrack, the amusing running gag of charging elaborate food orders to the Underhills, how most of Fletch's disguises are just him in a different suit, the many character actors who appear, including the late George Wendt and Joe Don Baker, and more.

You can rent or buy Fletch on services such as Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Fandango at Home. Next week, we're getting our asses to Mars and discussing Total Recall, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

Fletch (1985)

For the latest Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris return to 1984 to watch The Karate Kid, just in time for Karate Kid: Legends hitting theaters.

The movie that kicked off the entire "Miyagi-verse," which includes Cobra Kai and the original sequels, The Karate Kid, stars Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, who travels from Newark, New Jersey, to Los Angeles with his mother, Lucille (Randee Heller).  Daniel catches the eye of cheerleader Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue) but also Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who bullies and beats Daniel down with karate learned at the Cobra Kai dojo.  Daniel gets help from his apartment building's handyman, Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), who uses unorthodox training methods to help Daniel prepare for a karate tournament to face the Cobra Kai head-on.  Martin Kove co-stars as the ruthless Cobra Kai sensei John Kreese.  While revisiting the movie, Zach and Chris appreciate how Mr. Miyagi trains Daniel but also gets a bunch of housework done for free, why a restaurant manager job has better pay and benefits than an office computer job, the enigma of Ali being a popular cheerleader along with kind of a nerd, how it seems like there was a mass exodus from Jersey in the 80s and more.

You can watch The Karate Kid streaming on Fubo or Philo, or find a copy elsewhere and watch along with Zach and Chris.

Everything Action Commentary: The Karate Kid (1984)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris's mission, should they choose to accept it, is to discuss Mission: Impossible 2, which turns 25 this week and we also have what is being billed as the final entry in the franchise, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning hitting theaters.

Tom Cruise was back as Ethan Hunt, this time on the trail of a rogue IMF agent, Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott), and tries to stop him before he can come into possession of a deadly genetically engineered virus known as Chimera.  To help on his mission, Ethan is tasked with recruiting a thief named Nya Nordoff-Hall (Thandiwe Newton), who is Ambrose's former flame.  Zach and Chris discuss how this movie is wildly different in tone compared to the other Mission: Impossible movies, IMF communication missiles, several similarities to Goldeneye, Ethan's Street Fighter-style martial arts moves, and much more.

You can stream Mission: Impossible 2 on Paramount+, Prime Video [https://amzn.to/3F8WVeN], and Hulu. Next week, we're going undercover with Chevy Chase to discuss Fletch, which is turning 40.

Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris enter the mind of a killer and discuss Mindhunters, which came out in the US 20 years ago this week (after being released in almost every other country around the world in 2004).

Directed by Renny Harlin, Mindhunters follows a group of FBI agents training to be profilers under the unorthodox methods of Jake Harris (Val Kilmer), who places his trainees in elaborate simulations.  As a final test, the group is left on a remote island off the coast of North Carolina to uncover the simulated crime scenes of "The Puppeteer." Instead, they find themselves up against a real killer, who begins taking the team out one by one via elaborate traps.  Zach and Chris discuss who is bringing all the cats onto this remote military island, LL Cool J's over-the-top red herring, Christian Slater getting Sub-Zeroed by liquid nitrogen, the hilariously dumb underwater shootout, and more.

You can rent or buy Mindhunters on Prime Video [https://amzn.to/44Ip4DU], Fandango at Home, Apple, and more.  Next week, our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to watch Mission: Impossible 2, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary along with the release of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in theaters.

Mindhunters (2004)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris are in Boston for PAX East and discuss 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to get into the video game mindset.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Prince Dastan, who leads an assault against the holy city of Alamut for the Persian Empire and discovers a mysterious dagger.  When accused of killing his father, King Sharaman (Ronald Pickup), he flees with Alamut's princess, Tamina (Gemma Arterton). He learns the dagger allows the wielder to travel 1 minute back in time.  Realizing this was the reason behind the invasion, Dastan reluctantly teams up with Tamina to protect the dagger and keep the Sands of Time from being unleashed.  Zach and Chris talk about where the Prince of Persia game series was at the time, how the movie is a critique/metaphor for the Iraq War, Dastan immediately abandoning his childhood friend to become a prince, the parkour action, and more.

You can watch Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time on Disney+. Next week, we'll get into the mind of a killer and discuss Renny Harlin's ridiculous 2005 thriller Mindhunters, which turns 20.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head to Chicago for the Chuck Norris classic Code of Silence, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Norris plays Eddie Cusack, the head of a squad of Chicago cops who finds himself in a gang war when a drug bust goes bad and crime boss Luis Camacho (Henry Silva) wants revenge on the mob.  Cusack also finds himself shunned by his fellow cops when he refuses to back corrupt cop Cragie (Ralph Foody), who kills an unarmed bystander during the drug bust and tries to cover it up.  Zach and Chris discuss how this feels like Chuck's version of Bullitt or The French Connection, how weird it is to hear Ralph Foody speak non-Home Alone dialogue, Dennis Farina's comedic relief, and, oh yeah, the KILLER ROBOT that Chuck uses in the explosive finale.

You can watch Code of Silence on Prime Video [https://amzn.to/3GEPdcM] and PlutoTV. Next week, we're getting into the gaming state of mind as we head to PAX East by watching Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which turns 15 later this month.
