Last Action Hero

from Screen Refresh · host Screen Refresh

February is upon us! With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's a time to celebrate love and marriage. Naturally, the only marriage we'll be celebrating is of film director John McTiernan (Die Hard, Predator) to movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger (Twins, Universal Studios Orlando attraction Terminator 2 3-D: Battle Across Time) and their resulting love child born on June 18th, 1993: LAST ACTION HERO! Join the Screen Refresh crew as we dissect this wonderfully meta romp that pokes fun at action movie tropes (while becoming a solid action film itself).
