Bald Move Pulp - Badass Fest V: Armageddon (1998)

CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass.
What’s better than an astronaut? A third generation driller. Bruce Willis, the CHARISMA KING, is gonna save the world from a giant asteroid. There’s a cast full of recognizable actors in their younger days. A.Ron claims that Armageddon has done more good for the world than any other movie. And this might be one of Michael Bay’s most chaotic projects, therefore you NEED to go watch it on Max right now. Pork rinds!

Bald Move Pulp - Badass Fest V: Demolition Man (1993)

CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass.
Next up in the Badass lineup is Demolition Man! Sylvester Stallone (badass status pending) and Wesley Snipes star in a movie that came out at the tail end of roided-up action flicks.

Watch these two rampage across the nanny state.

Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995)

CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER.
Today we’re focusing on “Charisma” with John McClane in the third movie of the Die Hard franchise. It’s not the perfect Die Hard movie, but it has Samuel L. Jackson who is perfect. It delivers on fun action set pieces, but does feature one of the most ridiculous “blown to safety” moments in cinema history rivaling only Indiana Jones. Find out some of the fun facts behind the casting of this movie and the other movies that got axed to make this one happen.
