Paul and Steve dive into the listener mailbag to answer the question, “What is your favorite movie with terrible action and a terrible movie with great action?” On the dissection table are classic action films Ong Bak: Thai Warrior (2003); Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Menace (1999); and two Burt Reynolds films - Heat (1986) and Shamus (1973). Which film was which? In a surprising twist, Steve and Paul also go head-to-head over the iconic Big Trouble in Little China (1986).
