Ameer, you do not go after Sutton for the "LULZ", ever again. If you do, I ban you. The man is a gentleman and a poet. A creative genius. A sage, a wiseman, a shamen. I say, a guy can be shunning as much attention as he does, in this day and age of attention whores ("What's one of those?" says the guy with the fifty foot tall avatar.) he's a delight. Granted, he could have just clicked the "Do Not Embed" tag or something for each of his personal videos, but meh, anyway.
Have some art. The love and effort that has gone into these is astonishing.
0:09 - Righteous theme tune kicks in-OH MY GOD, WILLIAM SHATNER, FUCK YES. 0:14 - This is the best TV theme tune ever. 0:21 - AJ and Disco, on the run from the law. 0:24 - Shatner lovingly pats a computer and smiles as if it were his lover. 0:30 - Shatner snaps and starts taking out police cars with a pistol. 0:37 - Shatner looks manly and serious at the wheel as a bitchin' twin guitar solo plays. 0:42 - COP CAR FLIES TO THE MOON. 0:45 - What's better than a car chase? A CAR CHASE ON FIRE, CHRIST, YES. 0:50 - To quote a youtube comment, "I would gladly eat Heather Locklears shit." 1:00 - Guy gets hit in the back of the leg and instead of folding over backwards, rolls forwards. 1:01 - James Darren. Man of oak. 1:07 - To quote my own internal monologue, "I would gladly eat James Darren's shit." 1:08 - Toupee! Blowing in the wind! Nothing can save you now! 1:13 - FUCK YEAH, ROLL OVER BITCH. 1:15 - Even James Darren falls in love when Shatner smirks. Who wouldn't? 1:18 - CAR ON FIRE, INTO THE SEA. 1:23 - It's all wrapping up now. What an awesome trio. Heather with her bulletproof hair, Darren with his swarthy oak sheen and of course Shatner, who probably chases down criminals and uses the tried and tested methods of either a karate chop to the back of the head or leaping at them, planting both feet into their chests in a dropkick, sending them flying... OFF A CLIFF. ON FIRE. Also, Rick Husky is an absurd name.
Jesus Christ, I've got to find this show on DVD, it looks like the best thing ever. I mean, not up there with those crazy asian cop shows Touge always brings up, but those don't have William G. Shatner in them.
By the way Mandy, fuck yes. I knew T.J. Hooker existed, but I never watched it. If the opening theme intro is any indication, it is completely fuggin awesome.

How is this not shit? Seriously, I am loving this. It's old school and bluesy and rocks harder than anything I've heard in the last couple of years, QOTSA and Wildhearts excluded.
How in the hell is a new Queen song the most exciting piece of music I've heard all year? What the fuck happened?
Now matter how quality it is, every car chase ever would be improved 200% by that Iron Maiden song.
Single shot madness time! Of course, it could only be the classic Hard Boiled.
God damn, I love this movie, even if my DVD copy is of incredibly poor quality. I have to watch it dubbed because the subtitles sort of... Slip over time. By the end of the movie, the dialogue is about two lines ahead of the actual translation at the bottom of the screen, which makes following the lines nigh on impossible. Still not as bad as the subtitles for Violent Cop, where you don't even have the option to watch it dubbed.
BUT WAIT, what's this? Same idea, different movie, country and genre.
Abso-fucking-lutely love The Warrior King/Protector. Tony Jaa is the shit. What I love most about it is that the final boss... Uh, final fight scene, sorry, is a tranny with a whip, backed up by three absurdly gigantic wrestler guys. It's like somebody decided "You know what? I'm going to make a movie based on early nineties scrolling beat 'em ups!" I'm not kidding. At one point, he fights a gang of EXTREME street thugs who attack on skates and bikes... In an abandoned industrial area, naturally.
Jackie will always have a place in my heart with his slapstick charm, but for the visceral stuff, I turn to Ong Bak and The Warrior King. Granted, they both have exactly the same plot, give or take a statue/elephant, but who gives a shit about the plot?
