I've been spending a lot of time in the Action/Adventure sections of various video stores over the last few weeks, scouring the shelves for obscure action films (if anyone knows where I can get Prayer of the Rollerboys on DVD, I'd be much obliged), and have had to face a startling truth:
Most video stores keep dangerously few kickass action movies in stock
Just today I was unable to find Kickoxer at Hollywood Video. Kickboxer! What kind of a video store doesn't carry Kickboxer? I went on to look for Tango and Cash, No Escape, and They Live, only to be thwarted on all accounts. I was relieved to find Bloodsport in its proper place. And I should mention that the Schwarzeneggar collection looked close to complete.
The lesson I've learned is the following: you cannot rely on others for your action fix. I can only blame myself for not having Kickboxer in my personal library. I will never again make the same mistake.

How the fuck would you even have an action section of a video store without Tango and Cash? Palance, Stallone, Russell, the team up of a lifetime! I can only hope that this so called "video store" is the exception, rather than the standard.
Keanu, this type of behavior is why netflix is doing so well!
I think Keanu left out a very clutch aspect of T&C- Teri Hatcher as the hot girl who turns out to be Sly's sister and Russell's love interest. I never get tired of that plot scheme.
This isn't relevant to your post, but I thought you guys might like this little blog post I just looked at:
