Way back in 1986, Canon Films released one of their true timeless masterpieces of action cinema, Cobra. A young 11-year-old Shawn sat in the theatre and basked in the violent glory of Lieutenant Marion “Cobra” Cobretti blowing away mooks like it was cool (which it is) in a sleazy 1980s California. Cobra is about asContinue reading “COBRA (1986)”

Hard To Kill
Just before the old site died, I did a Retro Review of Marked For Death. Now we are back in the world of Steven Seagal and that world is a crazy, corrupt place with dirty cops and even more dirty politicians. There isn’t much we mere mortals can do about it. The good news isContinue reading “Hard To Kill”
Turbo Kid
The last 10 years have shown that the 1980s will never get old. There are a lot of movies and music around that have the look, the sound, and the feel of the 80s. Some of it has been pretty lame (Kung Fury,Manborg), and some of it has been awesome (The Guest, Father’s Day, Drive).Continue reading “Turbo Kid”
Cop (1988)
“Well there’s some good news and there’s some bad news. The good news is you’re right, I’m a cop and I gotta take you in. The bad news is I’ve been suspended and I don’t give a fuck.” Cop is a 1988 film starring James Woods (AKA The World’s Greatest Twitter Commenter) as an LAPDContinue reading “Cop (1988)”
Farewell To The King
Way back in 1989 one of John Milius’ least known but best movies came out and quickly vanished. Farewell To he King is one of my favorite films. It is a shame that it has more or less dropped off the face of the earth. The last home video release was in 2008 on DVD.Continue reading “Farewell To The King”
BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR
A lot of people will talk about Re-Animator and what a great film it is. And it is! It is a true masterclass.™ A stone-cold classic. But you won’t see anywhere as many people talking about the second film in the series, Bride Of Re-Animator. Bride Of Re-Animator picks up 8 months after the original. WestContinue reading “BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR”
Best Scene From MIAMI VICE – Jim Zubiena
The episode The Hit List and the scene below, in particular, was the moment every serious shooter in the 80s made Miami Vice “must-see TV”. Jim Zubiena who plays the hitman was a well-known IPSC shooter and champion at the time. He does indeed fire 3 shots but the cameras of the day could notContinue reading “Best Scene From MIAMI VICE – Jim Zubiena”
Death Wish 2018
Remember 2018? Boy… a lot has happened since then, huh? One of the small films that came out that year was Eli Roth’s remake of Death Wish, starring Bruce Willis. A huge action star and an (in)famous horror film maker teaming up. Was it any good? Well, let’s talk about that. The idea of aContinue reading “Death Wish 2018”
THE HIGHWAYMEN
Sometimes at Last Movie Outpost we do Retro Reviews, and sometimes we don’t even need to go that far back to find something interesting, noteworthy or worth sharing. This time we are going back, not way back, to 2019 and The Highwaymen. Last night, I fired up my friend’s Netflix account and settled down toContinue reading “THE HIGHWAYMEN”
The Wraith 1986
For my money, 1986 gave us Charlie Sheen’s best movie. That was the year we were blessed with the best ghost/action/adventure/revenge/car movie ever made – The Wraith. The story starts with one of the coolest cars ever put on film materializing out of the night. What is this about? We find out. In a smallContinue reading “The Wraith 1986”
