Invasion USA – It's Time
from Hops and Box Office Flops · host Hops and Box Office Flops
Few things are more American than action movies where lone heroes murder foreigners with lethal impunity. Invasion USA proudly carries that torch. Only it does so poorly. Like most films starring the bearded badass known as Carlos "Chuck" Norris, Invasion USA is a Cannon joint. Yes, that Cannon. The script sucks, it looks cheap, and it somehow makes less sense than most other films in the genre. What it does do well, though, is depict all manor of patriotic fueled violence. So, come for the jean vest and dry quips but stay for the bazooka dismemberment. Now, sit back, stretch out those legs with a Big Dippa from Reformation Brewery, and find that armadillo! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are dual-wielding uzis in our best Canadian tuxedos! This Week’s Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – America wasn't ready, but he was! Lingering Questions – What was Chuck's finest kill? (31:44) The "Everglades Airboat" Trivia Challenge – Chumpzilla challenges the field to trivia about the movie. (43:15) Recommendations – We offer our picks for the week and next up: We continue our Hops and Kicking Jeans Flops series with Sidekicks!
