I gotta say I feel Lance Henriksen is severely under rated as an actor. Maybe not on this forum but in general. For a while I just knew him as Bishop from Aliens. But his rolls in Near Dark and Hard Target the man is a treasure.

rewatching this for the hundredth time

Story of Ricky is great. I also suggest watching the other movies by the director. Especially "The Seventh Curse". And unrelated, I suggest watching "Bio Zombie".

[CrossedPete]

You know what Nathan normally when I find a movie I love that’s one of the first things I do. But for some reason after watching The Story of Ricky after all these years it’s never crossed my mind to do a little research and see what other gems could possibly be out there by the director, so I’ll take your advice and check it out. Thanks man good call

I will second Nathan's suggestion on The Seventh Curse. I watched that last year or the year before for the first time and was blown away by it. It's really fun.

Don't forget Pumpkinhead. He's incredible in that. I always felt like James Woods role in Vampires should have went to Lance.

I'm with you on Near Dark and Hard Target, love him in both.

yeah he is great in Pumpkinhead, when ever he’s in a leading roll he knocks it out of the park. He’s even great in smaller rolls. He’s a great actor. I never thought about him in Vampires before but yeah it totally could of worked.

Nice one Mateo I love the 80’s era Bronson movies

I've been smashing them this past week. Not sure there's an 80's Bronson I haven't wathed in the past eight days that wasn't made for TV or a Death Wish.

Also feel Lance Henriksen is underrated. I always feel an intensity in his performances. Excellent actor. I remember going to a party at his home once but he was not there at the time. He had just married a makeup artist that we worked with on a film. So she invited a bunch of us over while he was away filming (what is the moving he plays the crazy religious monk). My memory escapes me. He had a really cool looking house on top of a mountain in the san Fernando Valley. Kind of looked like a small dark cathedral. Strongest part of the memory is urinating in his bathroom while looking at family pics on the wall. Thinking how odd life is sometimes

The Visitor (stridulum) is another good one for some Henrikson.
The arrow blu release also has a nice little interview with him.

always love these little stories @evan

Was this in 89-91? The one film where he plays a crazy religious person that comes to mind is The Pit and the Pendulum which came out in 91.

[Hatter313]

If lance was in vampires I’d like that movie more. I’m OK with it, but I feel like woods is doing like a caricature of a carpenter character sometimes..like I can see it’s supposed to be Russell in scenes (not as much as you can see in ghosts of Mars but it’s there) and I feel like Hendrickson could have rocked that role and brought something different to it.

Seconding pumpkinhead, Love pumpkinhead

I showed a friend The Visitor on New Year’s Eve. What a trip.

[ScoJo]

Jesus wept. This has gone on long enough. Is nobody gonna mention Stone Cold?? ;-)

I’ll be honest and share my ignorance I’ve never even heard of Stone Cold til now. Just looked up the trailer and that movie is right up my alley. I need to watch it like yesterday.

Until a good friend casually mentioned it last year assuming I was on page, Id not seen it either. But that was the 'old' me. I call that era BB- Before Bostwick. Before Baxley. Whichever. Im all about it these days.

(Hint: 'FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ACTION JACKSON')

[Mateo Sanboval]

Whoever this mysterious friend of yours is, they are quality. I used to show Stone Cold and Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man as a double header back in the day. Never failed to satisfy.

inksb thanks for bringing some clarity to my memory. Pit and the Pendulum is the film I was thinking of (Lance in top maniacal form) but because of the date...can't be. You sent me on a quick search and it was around 1995 he got married to the women. So it could not have been pit. All I remember is he was in Rome filming something as I was creeping thru his pad. I also remember Lance came into the shop for the film Quick and the Dead. I believe we cast his hand for some effect. He was smaller in person than you would think but impressively shredded and lean. Now thinking about it I sculpted a fake forehead appliance for a bullet hit effect on that film. I don't remember for what actor and to this day have not seen the movie.

[CrossedPete]

I freaking love Action Jackson. It’s such a fun action movie. Carl Weathers is the man. Now I really have to watch this Movie.


I had a friend in high school who was obsessed with Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. I can remember him quoting a line from the movie and when I didn’t know what he was talking about he sat me down and we watched that movie. We then probably watched it almost every weekend for the rest of school.

[EvanCampbell]

Bob Fosse and Eric Roberts at their most possessed. Incredible performance by Roberts in this film.

Are you saying you’ve never watched The Quick and the Dead? I’m a sucker for anything Sam Raimi. Did you get to work with him at all? Seems like he would be a good dude to hang and shoot the shit with. Also just curious working in the industry does watching movies become old hat? I know for me in my industry working in a factory I’m just use to the process but when a visitor would come in and you can see they are in awe and they have all these questions and you can see they’re genuinely interested you can almost forget how unique your job is.

I just wanted to add why I chose those 3 and not others, I feel the plots to those movies are fairly similar. I could of added The Quest as well but I haven’t watched it in a while so I can’t really remember who the big bad is. I also really like Fender Tremolo as a heel. Speaking of Cyborg is that up next on your list @Bez?

Funny story this...

Saturday I wanted to watch another JCVD flick and Cyborg was up next. My girlfriend was sitting next to me reading the newspaper. Within the first two minutes she was asking why I wanted to watch this... She repeated that several times so I decided to stop. (She hates Scifi stuff - and the first two minutes of Cyborg are... ahum... not for everyone). So I wanted to play Lionheart next but with a running time of 110 minutes it would take too long because of diner.
I ended up watching:

5. Dead Warrant (1990)



JCVD did not one split in that movie! However I really enjoyed it. A lot more than I anticipated. My girlfriend was actually amused during parts of it.
