Action II (1985)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
If you're a fan of Cannon then you'll certainly want to watch this made-for-television documentary that takes a look at what it takes to create an action scene. We get clips and behind-the-scenes footage from DEATH WISH 3, RUNAWAY TRAIN and HOUSE among others. If you're a fan of these movies then you'll certainly want to check this documentary out because the behind-the-scenes footage is just wonderful to see plus we get interviews with Charles Bronson, Michael Winner, Jon Voight and Aaron Norris among many others. What makes this work so wonderfully well is the fact that we get to meet a lot of the stunt performers and the documentary really pays tribute to them and gives them the credit they never get. Plus, if you're a fan of either DEATH WISH 3 or RUNAWAY TRAIN then you've got some terrific footage from the set. Getting to see the actors and director working was a great thrill to see and especially since I'm such a big fan of Charles Bronson. His interview is pretty much what you'd expect from the tough-as-nails actor.
