Episode 182 - Rikki Tikki Davi

We wrap up this shitty year with two VERY entertaining action films from the 90's that both feature the always-fun Robert Davi and also have plots that remind us VERY much of our favorite Christmas movie...a little flick called "Die Hard". We start off with "The Taking of Beverly Hills" from 1991, directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Ken Wahl and Matt Frewer, with several good people in supporting roles. The plot revolves around a group of disgruntled cops who fake a chemical spill in Beverly Hills in order to rob the place blind. Lots of things are blown up, crushed and shot during the runtime and it's a ton of fun!  We follow it up with 1995's "No Contest" which stars Shannon Tweed and Andrew "Dice" Clay. This time, a beauty pageant is taken over by a group of VERY bad men who hold the contestants hostage and only the kicks and punches of a former winner can save them!  It is a very fun piece of fluff that delivers on every level. Neither of these movies are "good" on any defensible level, but they both left us all with huge grins on our faces and we recommend them.Send us your thoughts on the show and recommendations for future episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].
