“She-Hulk XXX: An Axel Braun Parody” is finally out, but it may be Chyna’s last Vivid movie

I’ve been wanting to see Chyna in this She-Hulk movie for so long that I got really mad when this DVD’s release was delayed. But I think that might have been a work since I’m sure Vivid wanted to release this movie closer to WrestleMania in case Vince decided to induct Chyna into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. It obviously didn’t help, though, since Trish is going in this year. I wonder who might induct Chyna when she finally goes in. Maybe it will be Trips or Steph since they seem to be on good terms again after that Queen of the Ring DVD I reviewed.

Anyway, when I finally got this She-Hulk DVD I was so excited. I mean, after seeing Chyna with green skin in The Avengers, I knew she would be great when she finally got the chance to star in her own movie as She-Hulk. But I have to say I was a little bit disappointed and confused. If this movie is supposed to be about She-Hulk, why don’t we even see Chyna until, like, halfway through the damn thing? And then, instead of seeing her fight bad guys and stuff, the first thing she does is go visit some scientist guy from the Fantastic Four because he tried to cure her cousin, the Hulk. While he’s looking at She-Hulk’s blood under a microscope or whatever, the Invisible Woman makes herself not invisible and introduces herself to She-Hulk in another room. They get to know each other pretty well for, like, the next 20 minutes, but I had to take a few breaks before they were done. As much as I enjoyed this part of the movie, it didn’t seem like Chyna was very interested in getting to know the Invisible Woman.

I guess I should have started my review at the beginning of the movie, but just like when I first got my copy of The Avengers, I had to skip straight to the parts with Chyna. I was surprised that Chyna wasn’t in the movie from this beginning, though. Instead, the movie starts with some lady named Jennifer Walters in a hospital bed because she’s been attacked by some people and doesn’t know why. But there’s a detective there when she wakes up and he tells her that the doctor said she had a blood transfusion before she was dropped off at the hospital. Then she remembers that she had seen her cousin Bruce Banner earlier that day. Then it flashes back to when she was meeting with the district attorney before that. She’s trying to convince the DA to give her what she wants in some trial or something, then she helps convince him how to close the deal. It takes about 20 minutes, and right after that her cousin shows up and tells her he’s really the Hulk.

The next few minutes are kind of boring because it’s just two people talking. Then it goes back to Jennifer at the hospital. Some guys wearing sunglasses are waiting outside of her room and one of them says something to the nurse behind the counter. Then the nurse takes the security guard into this room with X-rays on the walls because she’s always wanted to be with a cop. It turns out this is just a distraction so the guys with sunglasses can go into Jennifer’s room. But when they go in there and attack her she turns into She-Hulk and beats them up! I enjoyed the part with the cop and the nurse, but if I had known it was keeping me from seeing Chyna I would have skipped right past it. Well, no, actually I wouldn’t because the cop and nurse were pretty good.

After She-Hulk beats the two bad guys up, she jumps out of the window all the way down to the ground. Then she turns back into Jennifer and sees a poster about Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman coming to town. That’s how she knows to go visit them and try to get Mr. Fantastic (he’s the scientist I mentioned earlier) to figure out why she turns into She-Hulk. After she shows up at their hotel room, she shows them how she transforms and that’s the part where Chyna and the Invisible Woman (she makes herself not invisible after she answers the door) go to the other room. I watched this scene again because it’s pretty good. I guess I could have skipped it since I had already watched it when I first put the DVD in, but, you know.

After She-Hulk and the Invisible Woman (when she was actually invisible, she should have said, “You can’t see me” like John Cena) finish getting to know each other, She-Hulk’s lips aren’t green anymore. I don’t really understand why that is, but I think maybe it’s because she was about to turn back into Jennifer. Because the next part shows Jennifer getting in her car and saying that maybe she doesn’t want to be cured after all. Then some guy with yellow dishwashing gloves grabs her from the backseat, then it shows Jennifer strapped to some lab table or something while these two guys in green bodysuits with masks and yellow hoods are talking. At first I thought maybe these guys were more Hulks, but they’re just wearing green suits. Then some lady with green lips is telling one of the guys in a green suit that she wants to create her own super soldiers. She sounds kind of like Aksana and calls this guy Neal and he gets down on his knees in front of her for some reason. Then she gets kind of mean and pushy and he calls her Madame Hydra and does whatever she wants him to do. I didn’t get a chance to ask my cousin who this Hydra lady was, but it seems like she’s the leader of the bad guys. But even when she’s being bossy to the guy in the green bodysuit, it seems like he actually kind of likes it. And after she finishes making him do stuff, her lips aren’t green anymore either. But that’s just because she was wearing green lipstick and some of it came off.

When those other guys in green bodysuits start trying to give Jennifer a shot with a needle, she turns into She-Hulk and escapes. Then she sees Hawkeye in the alley and they sort of recognize each other. He tells her he’s recruiting for a new West Coast Avengers and I guess there’s an initiation process or something because She-Hulk gets kind of angry and rips part of Hawkeye‘s costume. It causes a little bit of a wardrobe malfunction, but it doesn’t seem like She-Hulk is angry about that. For some reason they go back inside and get on top of the lab table that Jennifer was strapped to before. Then they start doing experiments or something. I’m not sure why She-Hulk wouldn’t let those guys in green bodysuits poke her, but she does let Hawkeye poke her. I guess maybe it’s another part of the initiation into the Avengers, but She-Hulk looks like she’s pretty bored while it’s happening. And it looks like some of She-Hulk’s green starts to rub off on certain parts of Hawkeye, but I don’t think he’s a Hulk or anything like that. Either way, this part was pretty good and I actually watched it a few more times because I like seeing Chyna as She-Hulk in action.

Remember how I told you a while back, when I reviewed The Avengers, that when Chyna played She-Hulk in The Avengers they even painted her nipples green? Well, I don’t know if they did that in this She-Hulk movie because you never actually see her nipples. I was hoping to see her nipples in this movie, especially since I read on some of the dirt sheets that this would be Chyna’s last Vivid movie because she’s going to teach English in Japan (#legit). So this might be the last time I get to see Chyna play She-Hulk, or in any movie, for that matter. But it seems like she joined the West Coast Avengers after Hawkeye finished poking her. And the She-Hulk DVD comes with a comic book that shows her getting poked by Wolverine, Spider-Man, Iron Man and other Avengers. So maybe she will be in that movie when it comes out. By then Vince will probably own Vivid and put out the next Chyna movie through WWE Studios. That’s probably why Chyna is moving to Japan, actually. That way she can ride out her Vivid contract until it gets picked up by WWE Studios, then she can try to get in next year’s Hall of Fame class. I think Sean Waltman should induct her.

Dystopian future is easier to comprehend with DVD release of “The Day”

1 Reply

Just three months after its limited theatrical release, WWE Studios‘ The Day is now available on DVD and in a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack. In my initial review of the film, I praised the film’s stylistic approach to a bleak post-apocalyptic landscape where nomadic packs of humans do battle for survival. But even though the film’s washed-out look and masterfully low-budget special effects are impressive, I still feel like it wanders around the topics of why these two groups of people are at each other’s throats and how humanity has found itself in such a weary state.

But mystery can be a good thing, so the fact that we never find out the specifics of the war that has left a few stragglers fighting for survival isn’t a huge problem. Though bonus features are sparse on this DVD/Blu-ray release, the commentary track featuring director Doug Aarniokoski, producer Guy Danella and writer Luke Passmore does offer some insight into the things that weren’t apparent to me the first time I watched the movie.

The premise of The Day is that the protagonists (Shannyn Sossamon, Shawn Ashmore, Dominic Monaghan, Cory Hardrict and a viciously emotional Ashley Bell) find refuge in an abandoned farmhouse that is actually a trap set by another clan led by a Mohawked Michael Eklund. What wasn’t clear the first time around was why one group of humans had set a trap for another group of humans rather than working together to restore some semblance of civility to the world. But the audio commentary explains that the world is now devoid of animals, meaning that many people have resorted to cannibalism in order to survive. So those trapped in the house are intended to be the next few meals for Eklund and his carnivorous clan. (The commentary also points out that one of the bad guys is played by Shimon Moore from the band Sick Puppies, which I otherwise would probably not have realized.)

Well, that puts everything into an entirely different perspective. Now that I know specifically what these people are fighting over, and the consequences those trapped inside the house face if they lose the fight, I’m able to be much more emotionally invested in a movie that already hooked me with its visual prowess and cinematography. And that fact that The Day features people fighting for their lives in a futuristic wasteland that doesn’t include zombies, vampires or other supernatural threats is a refreshing nuance what could otherwise have been a tired rehashing of horror clichés. Despite my initial criticisms, I enjoyed The Day the first time around. But multiple viewings definitely make for a more enriching experience.

Edgier take on Spider-Man features surprising new villains and action

2 Replies

Since my buddy Jonathan reviewed the new Spider-Man movie when it was in the theater, I didn’t get a chance to see it. But since I did such good review of The Avengers, he let me review this new Spider-Man DVD. Man, I was really surprised to see that the new villain is Superman! I mean, they’re both good guys, so shouldn’t they be teaming up? There are a lot of team-ups that happen in this movie, but surprisingly Superman and Spider-Man never tag team anybody.

There are actually a lot of heels for Spider-Man to fight in this movie. After he catches a couple of robbers, he’s attacked by Black Cat on a rooftop. Things get pretty rough between them, but it seems like rough battles like this one make this little pussy purr, if you know what I mean. After Spider-Man shoots his web all over her chest, she says she will see him around and jumps off the building.

When Spider-Man goes back home, his Spidey sense tingles because Doctor Octopus is up to something. Then you see Lex Luthor (I wonder if that’s where Lex Luger got his name) and his secretary Miss Teschmacher talking about shooting two missles so Superman can only stop one. But then Supergirl shows up and Lex Luthor puts a kryptonite necklace on her. Lex leaves to fix the trajectory of his missile or something, so Supergirl tells Teschmacher she’ll do anything she wants if she takes the kryptonite necklace off of her. They take more than the necklace off so Teschmacher can get what she wants from Supergirl, but she keeps telling Teschmacher she can do whatever she wants, so she does. Teschmacher looks a lot different in this movie than she does on her TNA profile. I think this might even be a fake Tessmacher, kind of like when WWE had a fake Diesel and Razor Ramon when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall went to WCW.

Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus get arrested somehow and end up across from each other in jail and realize they have a lot in common. Then Lex breaks them out with this explosive thing he has hidden under his skin or something. Then it goes to The Daily Bugle, where Peter Parker works. He’s actually Spider-Man, but nobody knows that. Lois Lane and Clark Kent are there, too. They actually work at The Daily Planet (and Clark Kent is actually Superman), but the two newspapers are working together on an article about Lex and Doc breaking out of prison. Lois tells Clark that Parker’s boss, J. J. Jameson, makes her think of her favorite porn star, which made me pop. But Clark breaks kayfabe and tells Lois that Jameson isn’t the porn star’s real name.

I watched part of that other Spider-Man movie with my cousin last week and he told me the guy playing J. J. Jameson (that makes me think of J. J. Dillon!) is Rob Black and he used to run Xtreme Pro Wrestling. I never saw XPW, but I heard it was pretty good. I’m sure Vince already owns all that footage, too. Anyway, then Lois Lane and Betty Brant almost get into a fight and I started screaming, “Cat fight! Cat fight! Cat fight!” like Joey Styles!

Lex and Doc kidnap Lois so Superman will come save her, but they tell him they will only let her go if he brings Spider-Man to them. So Superman finds Spider-Man’s friend Mary Jane Watson and convinces her and her friend Liz Osborn to let him come inside so they can reveal where Spider-Man is. They end up revealing a lot more than that! Then Superman finds Spider-Man and takes him to Doc and Lex, but the heels have a kryptonite trap waiting and capture both of them. Lex makes a deal with Lois to set Superman free, so she does what he wants her to do. Lex let’s Lois out of her cage and it takes them little while but, I mean, you know. But Lex still tries to kill Superman, then Spider-Man wakes up. Lex and Doc are overpowering Spider-Man and Superman, then Spider-Woman shows up and saves the day.

Superman flies away with Lois, but Spider-Man and Spider-Woman get tangled up in a pretty amazing web for a while before Spider-Man squirts his webbing on Spider-Woman’s chest. Seems like that’s how these Spider-People show affection or something. I mean, you know. Then it shows some guy sitting in a dark room and holding a green mask, so I guess that will be the villain in the next movie. Maybe it has something to do with Chyna’s She-Hulk movie since her skin is green, too. Either way, I like this edgier version of Spider-Man and I’ll probably watch the next movie even if Chyna’s not in it.

“Barricade” offers unsettling holiday horror

“The Avengers” parody features Chyna as She-Hulk

2 Replies

Chyna as She-Hulk (photo courtesy Vivid Entertainment)

When I reviewed Chyna’s new Queen of the Ring DVD and saw the bonus scene from The Avengers with Chyna playing She-Hulk, I knew I needed to get a copy of the new Avengers DVD and review it. And the people at Vivid were so happy with my Queen of the Ring review that they sent me this DVD right away.

Since I never saw The Avengers in the movie theater, I didn’t even know Chyna was in it. I wonder why they didn’t mention that in any of the trailers. She’s one of the best parts of the movie and I always thought she was kind of like She-Hulk anyway when she was in WWE. Anyway, I skipped straight to her scene, where she does some personal training with Thor and his hammer before the team heads out to find her cousin the Hulk. So after I finished watching Chyna’s scene, I started the movie from the beginning. But I didn’t fast forward through Chyna’s scene the second time around because she and Thor really go at each other and it’s fun to watch.

But that part is almost the movie’s climax, so when I went back to the beginning it actually made a little more sense when I got to it again. Nick Fury has assembled The Avengers to track down the Hulk. There are a lot more girls in the Avengers than I thought there were. Most of the movie is about the members preparing for action, so I predict there will be a sequel within a year or two. But at least we have Chyna’s She-Hulk movie to look forward to sometime soon.

After Fury tells everyone what the plan is, Hawkeye and Black Widow seem kind of mad at each other about something she did with Tony Stark (SPOILER ALERT! He’s actually Iron Man). But it turns out that Black Widow still really likes Hawkeye, so she starts showing him how much she likes him before they have to go do battle together. Then Iron Man finds the Hulk in the desert, but Hulk is angry and punches Iron Man 150 miles away. Then Fury gets frustrated because The Avengers were all arguing at the beginning, so he takes his frustrations out on some military girl who I think is, like, his assistant or something. (She kind of looks like Beth Phoenix and Natalya and I would love to see them follow in Chyna’s footsteps and do movies like this one. I mean, they already look like superheroes.) But Fury really gets his frustrations out in a big way. Too bad he doesn’t know how well everyone is actually getting along throughout their base or whatever it is.

Danni Cole is actually one of snotrage's favorite actresses, so he likes her as the Scarlet Witch (photo courtesy Vivid Entertainment)

Speaking of getting along, Ms. Marvel looks great in her costume. And so does the Scarlet Witch, who is practicing her magical mutant powers in the gym. She tries to read Ms. Marvel‘s mind, but she can’t do it. So Ms. Marvel just shows her what she was thinking. Turns out there’s room for both of them to work out together as they start training on the weight bench. Then they start to have some wardrobe malfunctions, but, you know, it was pretty good. And I never read a lot of comic books, but my cousin did and I don’t remember seeing girls practicing their powers on each other like this. But, I mean, you know. It’s a great scene from two more characters that I didn’t even see in the trailers for The Avengers.

The next part is where Thor is mad at the humans and Chyna comes in to show him that some humans are almost as strong as he is. I was wondering how they made her skin all green, but then I watched the behind-the-scenes footage on the second disc and it shows how they did that (they even made her nipples darker than the rest of her skin!). But I already told you about this scene and just thinking about it again makes me need to take a break.

OK, I’m back now and just in time for the grand finale. Spider-Man shows up and is mad that they won’t let him be one of The Avengers. But after he’s by himself, Ms. Marvel tries to make him feel better and he eventually shoots his webbing on her face. I don’t really know why Spider-Woman doesn’t join in on this scene. I mean, she’s hardly even in the movie aside from at the very beginning. But, you know. Somehow Ms. Marvel convinces Fury to let Spider-Man join the team on their next adventure. But I won’t spoil the ending for you because there will definitely be a sequel after Chyna’s She-Hulk movie comes out, which I can’t wait for. I wonder if Hulk Hogan might play Captain America. I think he should. He’d be pretty good.

Chyna’s return to the ring may not be what wrestling fans were expecting

5 Replies

Did y’all know Chyna is still wrestling? I got this new DVD called Chyna is Queen of the Ring and it’s pretty good. It looks like it’s from a pay-per-view called Fucklemania, which features Chyna in two hardcore matches against some of the industry’s biggest legends. I popped at the beginning when Chyna’s in the locker room getting ready for her first match and Vince and Stephanie McMahon walk in. It looks like Chyna’s going to finally get revenge on Vince for firing her, and Steph for marrying Triple H, but they’re all able to do what’s best for business and get really friendly with each other. I never realized Vince had all those tattoos but I guess he’s gotten some since I last saw him with his shirt off. And I’ve always wondered if Steph’s boobs were fake, but now I’m pretty sure they are. But, I mean, you know.

Some people will piss and moan about how this show starts with talking and a backstage vignette. I mean, it’s probably, like, 20 minutes before we even see any in-ring action. But I really like how they’re able to work a spot for that long and you really don’t even realize there hasn’t been any actual wrestling yet. And I hope this whole thing isn’t a work because it seems like Chyna has paid her dues now and can get the proper sendoff and WWE Hall of Fame induction she deserves. I mean, she’s the only woman to ever be Intercontinental Champion and Vince can’t just ignore that. He’s definitely not ignoring her on this DVD! And if he doesn’t already, he will own this footage within 18 months.

It doesn’t take Chyna long to get cleaned up and in the ring for her first Queen of the Ring match, a nine-wrestler gang bang featuring Bret Hart, The Iron Sheik, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, Doink the Clown, John Cena (hate you, Cena!) and Chyna. And, I mean, I popped big time when Triple H joined the match because I don’t think he and Chyna have even seen each other since Trips married Steph. I don’t really follow the rules of this match, but all I know is Chyna takes on all these guys at the same time, with “Mean” Gene Okerlund coming out from behind the announce table sometimes to get in on the action. The ring girl also never gets out of the ring and takes care of some of the guys when Chyna has her hands full.

Even though he’s the best there is, best there was and the best there ever will be, the Hitman is first one eliminated from the match. And that was all the reason I needed to start chanting, “You screwed Bret! You screwed Bret!” in my living room. (Why was he on Raw the night before this DVD came out and didn’t even plug it?) The rest of the guys finish the match at the same time for a big finish, but it takes them a long time because Chyna is as tough as ever and is able to handle all these legends at the same time. She has fought some tough battles during her wrestling career and she has the scars to prove it.

Before the Fucklemania main event gets underway, Chyna has to go back to the locker room to get ready for it. When she gets back there, that guy from that Kid Rock video is back there and he’s doing a live sex celebration with some girl. (The only reason I listen to Kid Rock is because he did ‘Taker‘s “American Bad Ass” entrance music.) I think it’s the same ring girl that was part of the gang bang match thing. I don’t remember this guy’s name, but I heard he’s in some new movie with Jerry Lawler. (We’re praying for you, King!) If he was a wrestler I would call him the Hedgehog. Chyna joins the celebration for a few minutes and it’s more hardcore than the Attitude Era or ECW (ECDub! ECDub!)!

Chyna gets ready for her stipulation match – a nine-wrestler gang bang – in “Chyna is Queen of the Ring”. Photo courtesy of Vivid Entertainment.

But then it’s time for the main event and it’s the two biggest legends of all time: Ric Flair (whoooo!) and Hulk Hogan (brother!). Though it’s not the same as the first time I saw Flair and Hogan wrestle, these guys look really good for their age. But then Chyna joins the match and, hey, I think this might be part of the Hulk Hogan sex tape that Vince is going to own in 18 months time. But I didn’t know that sex tape had wrestling. It’s pretty good. But since Vince was in the opening segment, I’m sure he already owns this footage and Chyna’s whole Vivid video library because you know WWE will put out a new Chyna DVD when she comes back to WWE. But he didn’t put this one out under the WWE banner because it doesn’t fit with the company’s current PG rating.

Even though she gets double-teamed and hit from behind for the entire match, Chyna is able to bring out the best in two wrestlers who are past their primes. And in the end (SPOILER ALERT!) Chyna finishes off Hogan and Flair at the same time to win the Fucklemania Championship. I knew she could do it, but it’s a lot of fun watching her overcome the odds to win the Queen of the Ring.

The DVD features a bunch of extra stuff, including a scene from Avengers. I never saw The Avengers, but now I want to see it because Chyna plays She-Hulk, and she has her own She-Hulk movie coming out soon. There’s also a behind-the-scenes documentary that breaks kayfabe a little bit, but it’s pretty cool seeing the workers getting ready for their Queen of the Ring matches. There’s also a photo gallery and some other bonus stuff. I’m just kind of suprised Val Venis wasn’t anywhere on this DVD. For some reason it seems like he should have been included somehow. And it’s weird how all the wrestlers look a little different than usual. I guess maybe they were off the juice going into these matches. But it’s a pretty good show and good to see Chyna back in action.

Randy Couture proves he’s not expendable in “Hijacked”

12 Replies

After starring alongside an ensemble of action heroes, martial artists and pro wrestlers such as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li and Terry Crews in 2010’s The Expendables, wrestling legend and Ultimate Fighting Championship Hall of Famer Randy Couture returns to the big screen in the upcoming The Expendables 2. But before you see him kicking ass in theaters with Jason Statham, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme and others on Aug. 17, Couture leads his own battle in the skies as he stars in the Blu-ray/DVD release Hijacked.

When a series of suspicious events leaves his partner (Vinnie Jones) gunned down after a ritzy party, government agent Paul Ross (Couture) realizes Bruce Lieb (Craig Fairbrass), the billionaire who threw the party, is the target of a terrorist plot. Between losing his partner and being unable to patch things up with his ex-fiancé Olivia (Tiffany Dupont), Couture and his cauliflower ears have nothing to lose. So he decides to save the day by boarding Lieb’s personal plane to provide security against the thugs planning to hijack the plane and parachute out with a bunch of money.

In a somewhat ironic twist of fate, Olivia just got a job with Lieb and is also on the plane. So while Ross is trying to protect the plane’s passengers from the terrorists, he has a more personal interest in making sure Olivia isn’t harmed. As the hijackers and their inside conspirators carry out their plan, Ross leads the other hostages in a revolt to regain control of the situation. But these hijackers are ruthless and begin taking out the passengers, beginning with Lieb’s wife (Gina Philips) until they get the ransom they’ve demanded.

Ultimately (pun intended), all of this plot development is used to set up shoot-outs and fight scenes. And as you might expect from a multiple-time UFC champion, the fights are impressively executed as Couture takes out the bad guys one at a time. And the gun battles are equally enjoyable, with exaggerated blood spatter that offers some additional drama (yet is probably the result of the film’s low budget). Hijacked is about as predictable as the action movies Couture’s Expendables co-stars made in the ’80s and ’90s. But it does offer a bit of a twist at the end just to make sure you’ve been paying attention to more than just the action. And as action movies go, Hijacked is exactly what you might expect from a straight-to-DVD action movie starring a guy who helped propel UFC into the mainstream. Which is to say, Hijacked is just the kind of escapism you might be looking for on a lazy Sunday afternoon on the couch. And Couture proves that he can carry a B-level movie such as this one just as well as he can work with an ensemble of more experienced actors on the bigger screen.

Hijacked. Directed by Brandon Nutt. Starring Randy Couture, Dominic Purcell, Tiffany Dupont, Holt McCallany, Gina Philips and Craig Fairbrass. Rated R. www.anchorbayent.com.
