So are we starting “Awesome Movie Mondays,” because Carl Weathers in anything is by definition awesome.

And I have just found the perfect sample to open my upcoming mixtape…
‘You wanna shoot me?! Come on! Come on and shoot me!! Or don’t shoot me! Come on you chickenshit!’

@scottstev: Yeah, some real gems on Mr. Weathers’ resume. Action Jackson was made during one of his especially creative periods—he’d just done Predator the year before. You may remember his great death scene in that flick, in which he attempts to kill the alien despite having one of his arms ripped off.
@Lennox: The whole movie is full of choice quotes. Not to mention a lot of ridiculousness—if memory serves, the scene above is preceded by Action Jackson catching up to the taxi on foot.
