DRIVE -- Mark Dacascos

[rteer88]

Anyone besides myself seen or remember this movie.



One of my guilty pleasures, had some great fight scenes. Would love to see this on blu.

[Snake Plissken]

Agreed.
Didn't see this thread so I threw Drive in with a couple of other films I wanted.

[Troy73]

I have. Very good action movie and funny. I liked the whole bionic booster aspect.

[Snake Plissken]

The guy that played the "advanced model" of warrior, Masaya Kato, was in Crying Freeman with Dacascos.
He was also in a couple of other great films: Fighter in the Wind and Brother with "Beat" Takeshi from Battle Royale

Good action and always a fan of Mark's... heard through his twitter account that he is working with the director and action choreographer on a new project!!!! Can't wait to hear more bout this!..... would be nice to see Drive remastered.

I saw that and needed more loose trousers. I just loaned a buddy of mine my Medusa release of Drive last week telling him it is one of the most underrated MA flix, ever.

[snoman_99]

Hahahaaa... yes it definately is some coooool news. Yeah drive is definately underrated. Mark actually just finished a few movies so I'm sure we will be hearing more about this reteaming !!

J & Jen :-)

I bought the Simitar release of this which is widescreen but non anamorphic. Would love to see this at least re-released for anamorphic widescreen. Even if it's just a dvd version. Speaking of Mark, how bout a US release for Brotherhood of the Wolf? Possibly his best film to date IMO.

ONLY THE STRONG

[snoman_99]

I picked up the UK HD-DVD import of Brotherhood and it looks phenomenal. I can't wait for a blu release of that.

[snoman_99]

yes we have the French Blu-ray of Brotherhood of the wolf and its phenomenal!!! hopefully it will get released for the US sometime sooner than later.

in reality, the guy doesn't have much available on blu-ray.

While we are at it, throw Crying Freeman in there.

So is this movie considered his best? I haven't seen it yet. Noticed it was on DVD, but only in full screen .

This isn't a Rush Hour knock off ... is it?

[Liselotte]

Most people would consider Brotherhood of the Wolf his 'best work'. Some might say 'Crying Freeman' but this certainly has some of his best fighting.

I haven't seen it yet. Noticed it was on DVD, but only in full screen .

I have the UK Medusa Director's Cut release with an additional 16mis worth of footage.
But yeah, it has been several years since this has been dusted off the shelf.

It was released a full year before Rush Hour.

[snoman_99]

see it tilallr1!!! we must hear your opinion from someone who has not seen the film whatsoever ;-).

I agree with (snowman 99) and (Snake Plissken), you have to see this and it is some of his best fighting to date.

I don't want to ruin it for you but the fight at the end is one of the best on screen fights I've seen. You got bionic boosted fighters, motor cycles, bull whip and a kick ass explosion. The ending alone is worth it and there's more throughout the film. John Pyper-Ferguson is a great bad guy and he is funny as hell in this. Best line in the film has to be, " that son of a b*tch could eat flour and shit cupcakes". It had me rollin'. You must see this film if you're a fan of Marks.......You must see this even if you're not. It's good!
