Bags of Action

<div class="postBody"> <span class="s1">This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome</span>! In this episode Steve and Pete talk about The Mechanic from 2011 starring Jason Statham. As it turns out, neither of us knew, this film was a remake.<br /> <br /> This film turned out to be not what either host was expecting. Both are fans of Statham and yet somehow this was their first time they'd done a film with him in the lead.<br /> <br /> Pete shares some knowledge on the background of the film, its heritage, and its connection to Cannon films.<br /> <br /> <span class="s1">If you would like to get in touch you can join in the discussion of all things related to action movies over on the Facebook Group or you can followBags of Action on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/bagsofaction" target="_blank">@BagsofAction</a>.

<div class="postBody"> <span class="s1">This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete visit the cinema, at different times and in different cities, to see the film Creed. It was released in 2015 in the USA and early 2016 in the UK.</span><br /> <span class="s1"><br /></span> <span class="s1">This is the latest film in the Rocky franchise, that seemed to have concluded with Rocky Balboa, but a young filmmaker called Ryan Coogler pitched and idea and it was eventually developed into this film.</span><br /> <br /> <span class="s1">Both Steve and Pete are big fans of the Rocky franchise and both were very happy with its apparent conclusion with Rocky Balboa. So will Creed be able to live up to the legacy? Will it be a complete reboot or does it pay respect to what has come before it?</span><br /> <br /> <span class="s1">If you would like to get in touch you can join in the discussion of all things related to action movies over on the Facebook Group or you can followBags of Action on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/bagsofaction" target="_blank">@BagsofAction</a>.

<br /> <div class="postBody"> <span class="s1">This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In the previous episode, Steve gave Pete three flavours of Liam Neeson and he chose Run All Night from 2015. Neither he or Steve has seen the film before so they are both coming to it fresh.</span><br /> Our next film very soon will be another cinema outing of Creed. So get in touch if you've seen it for our February episode.<br /> <br /> <span class="s1">If you would like to get in touch you can join in the discussion of all things related to action movies over on the Facebook Group or you can followBags of Action on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/bagsofaction" target="_blank">@BagsofAction</a>.

<span class="s1">This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, Pete chooses one of old favourites, a film he has seen dozens of times, Bloodsport from 1988 starring JCVD. But will it stand up to the test of time? And what will Steve think, having not seen it in many, many years?</span><br /> <span class="s1"><br /></span> <span class="s1">This episode was supposed to be Creed but unfortunately it doesn't come out in the UK until January, so we hope to do it for our Jan or Feb episode.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <span class="s1">If you would like to get in touch you can join in the discussion of all things related to action movies over on the Facebook Group or you can followBags of Action on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/bagsofaction" target="_blank">@BagsofAction</a>.

<span class="s1">This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, Steve is back and is joined by his co-host from Comic Book Outsiders, Scott! This is another science experiment episode as Scott has never seen the film we're discussing this episode, the 1976 classic, <a data-mce-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky" target="_blank">Rocky</a>. Scott ha s seen other Rocky films in the franchise, including Rocky Balboa, but never the original.</span><br /> <br /> <span class="s1">The screenplay for Rocky, written by Stallone, went on to win three Oscars and it spawned multiple sequels of different quality, which seemingly wrapped up the franchise with Rocky Balboa in 2006. Or so we thought, until this year in November, there is a potential sequel or spin-off, called Creed.</span><br /> <span class="s1">We discuss Scott's impressions of Rocky and how he thought the franchise would develop, as well as the other films plus out thoughts on Creed. Most of the episode though is focused on the original Rocky.</span><br /> <br /> <span class="s1">If you would like to get in touch you can join in the discussion of all things related to action movies over on the Facebook Group or you can followBags of Action on Twitter <a data-mce-href="https://twitter.com/bagsofaction" href="https://twitter.com/bagsofaction" target="_blank">@BagsofAction</a>.
