    Thank you, thank you! I saw the film about 10 years ago and I couldn't remember the title.

    Eng, imo OuaTiM beats Desperado, ghands down, and not just because of the improvesd scenery - to me,t he complexity of the plot and the way the story was wowen was a major :thumb:

    I'll concede that the upstart movie had a better ending (because Desperado's ending sucked :sosad: ) and a more convoluted, yet not neccesssarily better, plot :p

    oh, just thought of 2 more retro action movies for ya newfie.

    He-Man the Movie and The Punisher, both had Dolph Lungdren as the lead and both were iirc pretty good.

    I had a lukewarm reaction to it.

    Newfie, if you haven't, check out Mad Max and the Road Warrior. Road Warrior is better, but the intro spoils some fairly major stuff in Mad Max, so you probably wanna see 'em in order.
