It’s time for some serious Super Action on Geekscape! Longtime Geekscape friend Casper Van Dien paradrops back onto the show and brings his Russian action star buddy Alexander Nevsky along for the ride! Together, the tag team is promoting the new action film ‘Showdown in Manila’, featuring not just Alexander and Casper but an all-star action cast including Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson, Cynthia Rothrock, Mark Dacascos and more! It’s an explosive time as we talk about making the film, what each of them took from their fellow action stars and the challenges of making a modern day, independent action film! Alexander also discusses growing up in a Soviet Union where bodybuilding was illegal, discovering action movies as a teenager and his coming to America to follow in the footsteps of his Super Action heroes! Enjoy!

Last night, Dolph Lundgren posted some new Expendables 2 posters to his Facebook fan page (and you know I’m a member of that group). I hadn’t seen these anywhere, except for the Stallone and Arnold shots, so I thought I’d make up a gallery and share with you these bad ass character posters for each actor who’s part of the most kick ass action ensemble this summer!

What, you thought it was The Avengers?!? The Avengers don’t have JCVD! That enough puts The Expendables over the top! Now check these out!

 

I found this awesome short thanks to Joel McHale’s twitter. Starring The Tick and Seinfeld‘s Patrick Warburton, The Action Hero’s Guide to Saving Lives can best be described as Groundhog Day meets an 80’s Super Action Cop Movie. Director Justin Lutsky knocked this thing out of the park, helped in part by a pretty damn funny script from Brett Simmons and Opie Cooper.

Super Action Man would definitely be proud (as would Jean Claude Van Damme). Check it out in full and tell us what you think!
