IMBTP Episode 45 -- Direct Action


Listen Later

On this month's episode, it's Dolph going back to basics and delivering a comeback before he really had his theatrical comebacks in 2004's Direct Action! In this throwback to the Joel Silver action flicks of the '80's and '90's, Dolph plays Frank Gannon, an upstanding karate-kicking police detective who takes on the crooked cops in his very own unit! While the premise may not be anything highly original, this was Dolph revamping and resetting his career in the ultimate ass-kicking fashion! And who better to discuss this ridiculous cop movie than with an actual cop! Doug Greenberg, host of the Rocky Minute joins the show to chat Direct Action in all its action-packed and absurd fun! Which of the movie cop tropes does this film have fun with? Where exactly is the film's "Metropolitan Police Department" located? And what is the significance of Dolph constantly chewing gum in the film (a repeat in his career)? Listen in as Doug and I go on duty to discuss Direct Action!
