Come listen to two woodworkers talk about this one guy who specializes in wooden bench-style kung fu. Oh, and Jackie Chan is in it also. I guess he directs it too. But let's get back to this bench…

And sometimes everyone speaks French. But mostly they don't.

Dead or alive, you're listening to me. Paul Verhoeven somehow achieves both badass copaganda action movie and cutting satire of American violence, consumerism, corporate greed, and bad TV.
