GPC Episode 11 - The One (2001)

The GPC returns a day later than planned, with the sci-fi action film The One! Come watch Jet Li fight himself and... an early Jason Statham?!

Oh and I forgot to include The Expendables (2010) in the credits, as well as Tango & Cash (1989)...  don't worry, it's in there!  Plus, The Scorpion King is listed as 2001...  it's actually 2002!

GPC Episode 10 - Sahara (2005)

The GPC returns with the startlingly underheralded Sahara!  This is a big booming action adventure that far too few people saw, and had all the right ingredients to be the next big thing as far as franchises go.  Oh, and I'm sure I'm mispronouncing Merovingian, but look at that name!  Wait, what's he doing here anyway...?

Also I have no idea how I screwed up thinking Dirk's last name was Diggler instead of Pitt.  I thought at first it was thanks to WWE's Dolph Ziggler, but then realized the lead character in Boogie Nights was Dirk Diggler.  But I've never seen that movie, however I did just see Ted, also starring Mark Wahlberg.

My brain is weird.

GPC TTOCS 4 - RoboCop 3 (1993)

Time for another "There's That One Cool Scene" at the GPC, and this time it's RoboCop 3!  This is a bit of a stretch even by my standards, as it's horrendously anticlimactic all in all, but is still cheesy fun

Also, once more wearing a Wreckless Eating shirt! (www.wrecklesseating.com)

GPC Episode 9 - Passenger 57 (1992)

The GPC returns with Die Hard on a Plane, aka Passenger 57! I've said the 80s were the Golden Age of Action movies but that's not to say we didn't get some holdovers into the 90s, and this is a prime example of one done well. It's Die Hard on a Plane, but in a GOOD way!
