Before today, I’d only seen the first one (when it was new). Pretty sure my dad has the VHS tape somewhere lol So far it’s, uh, it’s a ride! And yeah, 2 doesn’t deserve even half the hate it gets. It’s John Woo! Super cheesy, but still fun to watch

That's what I'm saying! The middle is probably the part that could be changed as the pacing is weird and the shots are just so odd at times but the action scenes are GLORIOUS! THE DOVES!!!!!!!

Exactly! And like, goddamn, it’s straight up the direct predecessor to Max Payne, which came out a year later. The slow motion cover dives while firing one or more pistols are 1:1 what Max Payne did

Cheesy action is just so much more fun too, like isn't that why we love DMC? One day there will be an M:I II reckoning and I'm so ready for it 😤🫡

Exaaaaactly! When was Fast & Furious the most fun? When it was a serious, strait-laced action movie about smuggling and drug lords? Or when they did a chase scene swinging a vault around the streets smashing everything? Don’t even get me started on sending a car into space!
