Ben explains an important aspect of the movie that makes it like none other. Alec shares funny behind the scenes anecdotes on actors Jesse Ventura (Blain), Carl Weathers (Dillon) and Sonny Landham (Billy). The guys evaluate how the film has aged and discuss this specific period of mid to late 80s action cinema. The films challenging location shooting conditions are discussed. The conversation shifts to a discussion on Arnold's film career and why a true passing of the torch to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson never really materialized. Join Cinema: A to B for a celebration of arguably the most testosterone fueled action film of all time. This episode was recorded prior to the recent passing of Carl Weathers. May he rest in peace.
