A new featurette for Red Sonja has been released online by Samuel Goldwyn Films, and you can view it in the player below. The featurette runs for just under two minutes, and it showcases both clips from the fantasy epic in addition to behind-the-scenes footage. You will also be pleased to learn that the film has received an R-rating from the MPAA, so it will be just as violent as the Red Sonja comics which fans have enjoyed over the years.

Red Sonja was directed by M. J. Bassett, who previously directed films such as Deathwatch, Wilderness, the criminally underrated Solomon Kane, Silent Hill: Revelation, and Inside Man: Most Wanted. The screenplay was provided by Tasha Huo, and the film stars Matilda Lutz as the titular heroine, with the supporting cast including Michael Bisping, Martyn Ford, Wallis Day, Rhona Mitra, Robert Sheehan, and Veronica Ferres.

The sword and sorcery epic...

"To see my people again is all I dreamed of..." She must fight to return home! Goldwyn Films has debuted a behind-the-scenes promo featurette for the new Red Sonja fantasy action movie, based on the famous Red Sonja "She-Devil with a sword" character which was featured in Marvel Comics during the 1970s. There was already a famous Red Sonja movie from 1985 featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen as Red Sonja. This action-packed new adaptation will be released in theaters this August. Enslaved by an evil tyrant who wishes to destroy her people, barbarian huntress Red Sonja must unite a group of unlikely warriors to face off against Draygan The Magnificent. Directed by action filmmaker M.J. Bassett, this new Red Sonja stars Matilda Lutz (from the thriller Revenge) as the title character, with Wallis Day as Annisia, Robert Sheehan as Draygan, Michael Bisping, Martyn Ford, Eliza Matengu, Rhona Mitra, and Veronica Ferres.

Red Sonja is a property Hollywood has been trying to get right for quite some time. Created by Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith—based on a character by Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard—Red Sonja has long been a staple of the sword-and-sorcery genre and remains one of the most iconic pulp heroines of her era.

Riding the wave of Conan the Barbarian’s success, producer Dino De Laurentiis attempted to launch a Red Sonja franchise in 1985, with Brigitte Nielsen in the title role and Arnold Schwarzenegger playing a thinly veiled version of Conan named Lord Kalidor. The film was a major flop, but as fantasy has made a strong comeback in recent years, many believe Red Sonja is overdue for a proper cinematic revival.

Over the years, various filmmakers have tried to bring her back to the screen—including Robert Rodriguez (with Rose McGowan), Simon West,...

In an interview at San Diego Comic-Con, the stars of Red Sonja claim that the recent trailer left out the best parts of the new movie. Red Sonja is originally a female warrior character from the Marvel Comics of the same name. She was created by writer Roy Thomas and illustrator Barry Windsor-Smith.

After the Red Sonja comics debuted in 1973, a movie adaptation by Richard Fleischer was released in 1985. This film starred Brigitte Nielsen in the titular role and also featured Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Four decades later, another Red Sonja movie is coming out. Set for release on August 15, this iteration is directed by M.J. Bassett and features Matilda Lutz in the lead role. The film's supporting cast includes Wallis Day, Robert Sheehan, Robert Rhodes, Veronica Ferres, and Trevor Eve.

In an interview with ScreenRant's Ash Crossanat Sdcc, Day and Sheehan reflect on their thoughts on the Red Sonja trailer.

The Red Sonja reboot has received an action-packed trailer as it attempts to reinvigorate the character after her disastrous 1980s outing. Starring Revenge actor Matilda Lutz as the titular sword-swinging warrior from the Hyborian Age, this latest attempt at bringing the popular comic character to life follows on from the 1985 box office disaster starring Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Ahead of Red Sonja’s August 15 release, Entertainment Weeklydebuted a new trailer showcasing Lutz’s heroine as she slashes her way through an assortment of deadly foes. Also featuring The Umbrella Academy’s Robert Sheehan as the tyrannical Draygan the Magnificent, the trailer offers a blood-soaked glimpse of Sonja’s quest to save her people from enslavement. Check out the full trailer below:

What Red Sonja’s Trailer Reveals About The New Reboot The New Movie Is Not Shying Away From Classic Sword And Sorcery Tropes

From gladiatorial battles against a...

The trailer for the long-awaited Red Sonja movie just dropped, so now seems like the perfect time to dive a bit deeper into the iconic She-Devil with a Sword's decades-long history in comics. In Fantasy comics, Red Sonja is likely surpassed in fame only by Conan the Barbarian himself. Much like Conan has a history in comic books that goes back decades, Red Sonja has been a comic book icon since the '70s, often as an ally of Conan.

Despite the association with Conan and Robert E. Howard's Hyborian setting, Red Sonja, at least in her iconic comic book iteration, isn't actually a Robert E. Howard creation. There is a clear influence owed to female fighter in Howard's 1934 historical war story The Shadow of the Vulture by the name of Red Sonya (note the different spelling) of Rogatino, to the point that Dynamite does credit Howard as a co-creator of the character.

If you love movies, TV, sci-fi and fantasy, you're gonna have a busy summer. The final season of Squid Game already came and west. We're in the middle of The Sandman. Jurassic World Rebirth opened last weekend, Superman opens this weekend, and The Fantastic Four movie won't be far behind. Murderbot, Foundation, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds...I could go on.

And that's just July. Now, new trailers give us an idea of what we might be watching in August, starting with a look at the second season of Twisted Metal, coming to Peacock on July 31. Take a look below:

Turning video games into movies and TV shows is all the rage lately, but Sony's Twisted Metal games, wherein players roll around in souped-up death mobiles trying to knock each other off the road, always seemed like an odd choice. But the trailer looks pretty fun!

"He wants us to fight." "Or we both die." Samuel Goldwyn Films has revealed the first official trailer for the epic new Red Sonja fantasy action movie, based on the famous Red Sonja "She-Devil with a sword" character which was featured in Marvel Comics in the 1970s. This isn't the first time she has been on screen – there was a famous Red Sonja movie in 1985 featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen as Red Sonja. This action-packed new adaptation will be released in theaters this August. Enslaved by an evil tyrant who wishes to destroy her people, barbarian huntress Red Sonja must unite a group of unlikely warriors to face off against Draygan The Magnificent. Directed by action filmmaker M.J.

The She-Devil With a Sword has finally returned. Red Sonja, the long-awaited reboot of the classic fantasy comic book character, is coming back to the big screen this summer. In the new trailer for the film, Matilda Lutz plays the flame-haired barbarian warrior as she seeks vengeance, battles monsters, and confronts death in a gladiatorial arena. M.J. Bassett (Rogue) directs the film, which had been stuck in development hell for decades. The film will premiere in theaters on August 15, 2025.

In the trailer, Sonja swears revenge on the raiders who killed her people, sending her on a quest that eventually lands her in the clutches of the villainous warlord Draygan The Magnificent and pitted against his deadly, eyebrow-less bride, Dark Annisia. In a nod to the character's fantasy origins, she battles not only Draygan's warriors, but also a massive horned monster. And yes, she does find herself in her comics incarnation's infamous "chainmail bikini,...

After years of development, the Red Sonja reboot has finally arrived. The action fantasy film has faced trial and tribulation, but the official trailer unleashes the long-awaited return of the powerful warrior. The question is, was it worth the wait? Although fans will be the judge when it releases later this year, the new footage doesn't spark much confidence in the reboot.

The first trailer for Red Sonja features Matilda Lutz (Revenge) in the starring role, alongside Martyn Ford, Robert Sheehan, Wallis Day, Michael Bisping, Philip Winchester, Trevor Eve, Luca Pasqualino, and Rhona Mitra. The film was directed by M.J. Bassett based on a screenplay by Tasha Huo (Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft). Red Sonja is set to hit theaters on August 15 and on digital platforms August 29. You check it out below. Read the official plot synopsis:

Enslaved by an evil tyrant who wishes to destroy her people,...

Samuel Goldwyn Films has announced this morning that their comic book movie adaptation Red Sonja will be unleashed in August, and Entertainment Weekly debuted the official trailer.

Red Sonja is in theaters August 15 and on digital platforms August 29.

The film is rated “R” for “Strong/bloody violence.” M.J. Bassett (Ash vs. Evil Dead) directed the Red Sonja movie, with Matilda Lutz (Revenge) starring as the title character.

Here’s the new official synopsis: “Enslaved by an evil tyrant who wishes to destroy her people, barbarian huntress Red Sonja must unite a group of unlikely warriors to face off against Dragan The Magnificent and his deadly bride, Dark Annisia.”

Robert Sheehan (The Umbrella Academy), Wallis Day (Sheroes), Michael Bisping (Den of Thieves), Luca Pasqualino (Snowpiercer), Rhona Mitra (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), Martyn Ford (Final Score), Ben Radcliffe (Cuban Fury), Eliza Matengu (Predestination), Veronica Ferres (Crisis), Phillip Winchester (Strike Back) and...

It’s finally here, folks. After years of delays, with names like Robert Rodriguez and Rose McGowan once attached, the remake of Red Sonja is about to be released. Samuel Goldwyn Films snagged the U.S. distribution rights for the Millennium Films production. Matilda Lutz dons the metal bikini this time around in the role that Brigitte Nielsen previously played in the 1985 film, which also featured an appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan. Samuel Goldwyn Films has now released the trailer and Red Sonja is due to hit screens on August 15 before arriving on digital on August 29.

The description reads: “Captured. Chained. Forced to fight for survival. Red Sonja must battle her way through the blood-soaked pits of a tyrant’s empire and rally an army of outcasts to reclaim her freedom and take down Dragan and his ruthless bride, Dark Annisia.” In addition to Lutz, Red Sonja also stars...

Red Sonja is finally slicing her way onto the big screen, and if you felt a strange urge to shout “This. Is. Sparta!” while watching the new trailer, you’re not alone. After being stuck in development limbo since 2008, Dynamite Entertainment’s fiery-haired warrior is back, and she’s bringing all the slow-mo sword-swinging drama you’d expect from a Zack Snyder flick… except it’s not Snyder. It’s M.J. Bassett behind the camera this time. But you’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise. There’s blood. There’s vengeance. There’s a whole lot of slow-motion mid-air stabbings. Matilda Lutz steps into the chainmail boots of the titular She-Devil with a Sword (originally played by Brigitte Nielsen in 1985) and she looks like she’s not here to negotiate. Yes, the first trailer for Red Sonja is giving off serious 300 meets Gladiator energy. The story is straight-up sword-and-sorcery. Sonja is captured,...

The first trailer for the nextRed Sonjafilm gives a glimpse at what fans can expect from the full movie -- and even a bit more.

The first full trailer for the upcoming Red Sonja film has arrived courtesy ofEntertainment Weekly. The trailer sees Matilda Lutz's titular antihero tearing her way through every opponent, from fellow human warriors to monstrous beasts, all while making her way towards her true enemies in the form of Robert Sheehan's Draygan the Magnificent and his ominous and powerful bride Dark Annisia, portrayed by Wallis Day.

Created by the legendary author Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith back in 1973 for Marvel Comics and inspired by Robert E. Howard's Red Sonya of Rogatino, Red Sonja has a long and storied history as one of the Hyborian Age's greatest heroes. Over the course of her career in comics and other media, Red Sonja has often...

Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Brigitte Nielsen, Reni Santoni, Andrew Robinson, Brian Thompson, John Herzfeld, Lee Garlington | Written by Sylvester Stallone | Directed by George P. Cosmatos

Sylvester Stallone burst onto the Hollywood scene with his title role of Rocky Balboa in 1976’s Rocky. After that film, he starred in so many action films including First Blood and its “Rambo” sequels, more Rocky films, Over the Top, Demolition Man, Cliffhanger, Tango and Cash and a guilty pleasure film for me, Judge Dredd.

However, in 1985, Sylvester Stallone and director George P. Cosmatos brought the world the exciting sequel to First Blood with Rambo: First Blood Part II. Then, a year late,r the duo teamed up again for the iconic 80s action-thriller Cobra. This cult classic is coming up on its 40th anniversary, so for that epic event, Arrow Video has decided to restore and release this action film on 4K!

A crazed killer.

Netflix's hit action comedy series Fubar, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, has finally returned with Season 2. While the first season failed to impress critics, it seems Fubar has moved up the action series ladder with a much-improved installment that defies expectations.

As of this writing, Fubar Season 2 has a 67% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, based on six reviews. This is a notable improvement from the first season, which currently has a rotten 58% rating based on 64 reviews. Of course, the number for Fubar Season 2 will likely fluctuate over the next week as more people view the series, which begins streaming on Netflix starting Jun. 12. However, it is a good sign of things to come for the return of the action series. Fubar follows a father-daughter CIA operative duo played by Schwarzenegger and Academy Award-nominee Monica Barbaro.

While not every critic is in love with Fubar Season 2, most agree that it is...

When I first learned that Sly Stallone had it out for Eddie Murphy, I assumed it was because Murphy became a mega movie star after taking over for the Rocky star in Beverly Hills Cop. But that comedy’s success wasn’t why Stallone was irate with Murphy — it was a behind-the-scenes rumor on another movie that generated the beef.

First, some background. Stallone was hired to star in Beverly Hills Cop while Murphy was still an up-and-coming comic on Saturday Night Live. The original screenplay had plenty of comedy elements, but Stallone rewrote the script to crank up the action elements. According to Far Out, Sly’s version of the story would have ended with a showdown between a Lamborghini and a freight train. Sounds like Stallone, all right.

Hot off of 48 Hrs., Murphy took over the role, improvised his way through filming, and became a global movie star.

Following the renewal announcement, creator Nick Santora promised: "Season 2 is bananas. We’re coming up with some real fun surprises for Fubar fans in Season 2, for sure."

It was also previously revealed that Carrie-Anne Moss joined Fubar Season 2. The actress plays Greta Nelso, a former German spy with a strong history with the CIA, and also Luke's ex.

Dsquared2 knows how to throw a show—and for Fall/Winter 2025, the brand took things to the next level, celebrating its 30th anniversary with a jaw-dropping, star-studded spectacle at Milan Fashion Week.

More than just a runway presentation, the night felt like a full-blown party, blending fashion, music, and pop culture in a nightclub-inspired venue. The energy was electric from the start, as rap superstar Doechii made a dramatic entrance from an armored tank overflowing with dollar bills, setting the tone for a night of high-octane glamour.

The runway was packed with stars including Tyson Beckford, Isabeli Fontana, Irina Shayk, Amelia Gray, Alex Consani, Alton Mason, Victor Perez, Bach, and Nle Choppa.

But the real showstopper? Naomi Campbell, who emerged from a set designed as a gritty New York warehouse labeled “Dsquared2 Bros Co,” reminding everyone why she remains the queen of the catwalk.

The White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger is making waves on the internet not only because of that one iconic scene from the show but also because he’s slowly putting himself on the Hollywood map.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has turned plenty of less famous Marvel characters into big-screen icons. From Rocket Raccoon and Scarlet Witch to the Falcon, the Eternals, and even Hawkeye. That trend has continued in the franchise's Disney+ era, with spin-off shows focusing on lesser-known heroes like Moon Knight and She-Hulk. In the latter case, however, previous attempts had been made to adapt the green-skinned heroine for the screen. All ended in roadblocks before Tatiana Maslany finally brought the role to life.

The character of She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters, wasn't created until 1979, midway through the famous "Incredible Hulk" TV series starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. Following that show's conclusion in 1982, a series of TV movies were made to continue the story. The third of those, 1990's "The Death of the Incredible Hulk," nearly included a live-action version of She-Hulk, but those plans never came to fruition.

With those original TV plans scrapped,...

Signature Entertainment has picked up UK and Irish rights to the action fantasy with plans to release this year. Deadline notes that the film previously sold in international markets, though no updates on international release plans as of yet.

Signature Entertainment acquired the rights to release the Red Sonja reboot in the UK and Ireland. Per Deadline, the film will premiere in late 2025 after spending two years in post-production. "Red Sonja epitomizes the kind of film we're looking for at Signature – an epic story in a fantasy-laden world with a strong commercial feel to its execution, which made it immediately appealing to us," Signature Entertainment's Acquisitions Manager Begüm Kayacan Parodi said. "We're looking forward to introducing UK and Irish audiences to Matilda Lutz's sword-swinging huntress later this year." Production company Millennium Media is still looking for a distributor for Red Sonja in international markets.

What do you get when you mix parts of an unrealized Beverly Hills Cop script, romantic thriller novel ‘A Running Duck’, and a leading man named Marion? Well, naturally…. a film with a body count of over fifty. A film where the original cut was so violent and so brutal it had to be heavily edited to avoid an X-rating by the MPAA. All starring Sylvester Stallone at the height of his popularity; cutting pizza with scissors in his apartment unreasonably close to an outrageously large neon Pepsi sign and murdering the bejesus out of some really bad dudes. Today, not knowing what the f*ck happened to Cobra is the disease… and we’re the cure. This is Wtf happened to Cobra.

We’re not trying to make you fall for the old “banana in the tailpipe” when we tell you Stallone was originally supposed to star in Beverly Hills Cop.

Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers were initially adversaries both on and off-camera in Rocky IV. In a recent interview, Lundgren explained why he felt Weathers was always sore about their characters' fight in the 1985 sports movie.

Speaking with Screen Rant during a Fan Expo panel, Lundgren shared how he didn't get to spend much time with Weathers before they were thrown into the ring together to shoot the fight between Ivan Drago and Apollo Creed. "Well, I didn't know Carl [before Rocky IV]. I knew Stallone because we boxed and trained together for six months, and he was my boss. We were in the ring six days a week, so you push each other around, you're sparring, and you get to know each other. But Carl, I didn't know," he explained. "When I first met him, we were shooting the fight of Apollo versus Drago in Las Vegas, and Carl showed up two days before.

Dolph Lundgren has beaten many tough and deadly opponents on screen, but his biggest victory has come in real life, as the Rocky and Expendables star has revealed that he is cancer-free after battling the disease for almost a decade. However, what makes this even more incredible is that the 67-year-old action star was given just two to three years to live in 2020.

Sharing a new video from his hospital bed where he was having what he believes to be the last cancer cells removed, the actor shared a message of hope and gratitude for the support he has received since he went public about his fight in 2023. He said in the video:

"Alright, here I am [at] UCLA, about to go in and get rid of that last tumor — and, since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I'll be cancer-free, so I'm looking forward to this procedure.

There have been so many great fantasy movies over the years that never received the box office love they deserved. As a genre that relies on viewers letting themselves be swept away by alternative worlds and stories of magical wonder, sometimes it takes a while for the value of a fantasy story to be recognized by viewers, and it is only years or decades later that a fantasy film takes its rightful place as a cult classic. Other times, movies that should have been great were handled badly, and subpar films were released that didnt reach their full potential.

Some of the biggest box office flops of all time were in the fantasy genre, as this was a style that can feel overly campy and needlessly self-important if not presented well. Its a fine line to walk, and while the best fantasy movies ever have pulled this off well, other...

Tiffany "New York" Pollard's return to House of Villains in 2024 should come as no surprise to fans of the reality star. She's been a staple on reality television for nearly two decades.

Since her first appearance on VH1's Flavor of Love in 2006, Tiffany has been on reality programming in the United States and Great Britain. Her fiery personality and memorable presence make her an entertaining contestant in any reality TV format.

Here's more about Tiffany's rise to reality TV fame and details about her long history with the genre.

Tiffany "New York" Pollard Got Her Nickname From Her First Reality TV Show Appearance

When Tiffany "New York" Pollard first appeared on Flavor of Love in 2006, she was one of 20 women living together and vying for the love of rapper Flavor Flav. Flav gave each contestant nicknames that were used until they were eliminated. Tiffany's nickname was "New York."

For its next episode, Dark Side of Reality TV is looking back on another of the early aughts’ pop culture oddities: This time, it’s The Surreal Life, a celebrity soup show that had some very shocking moments indeed throughout its original six seasons. The vintage VH1 series brought a very varied group of celebrities together to cohabitate, The Real World style, and one of its most memorable moments — for better and for worse — was in its third season when Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav and Danish model-turned-’80s action star Brigitte Nielsen randomly began to hook up. The two were, it seemed, instantly and madly in love in the house, and that romance extended to a spinoff show called Strange Love that would be then spun off into Flavor of Love and a cascade of copycat programs for the network (I Love New York, Rock of Love, Real Chance of Love,...

The upcoming Red Sonja reboot hasn't had the easiest of journeys to the big screen, losing multiple filmmakers - including X-Men helmer Bryan Singer - and even its main star (Thunderbolts*' Hannah John-Kamen).

M.J. Bassett has since stepped behind the camera to direct the action, with rising star Matilda Lutz tapped to bring the iconic warrior to life in a movie fans hope will do this character justice. 

After all, it's been nearly four decades since Red Sonja graced the big screen, with Brigitte Nielsen bringing the iconic hero to life way back in 1985.

Earlier this week, we caught up with action icon Rhona Mitra to discuss her role in XYZ Films' Hounds of War. She's been tapped to play an unnamed character in the new Red Sonja and we asked what she could tease about the project. 

"I know that I'm not really allowed to say anything about that.

With all the awards and fame in his pocket, to call Sylvester Stallone a Hollywood icon would be an understatement. The Italian Stallion defined the action genre in the 1980s and 1990s with his Rambo series, which still stands the test of time.

However, there was one Rambo movie where Sylvester Stallone was completely off the rails, disregarding his own safety. During the filming of Rambo 3, Sly was going through a really tough time.

Despite being considered one of the lower-ranked entries in Sylvester Stallone’s movie career, Rambo III still packs a punch with its jaw-dropping action and extreme gore. The stunts were often done by Sly himself, and in this movie, he was completely unhinged.

Years later, in an interview with Roger Ebert,...

If you think Red Sonja is a cinematic low for Arnold Schwarzenegger, hold onto your popcorn! Helmed by Richard Fleischer and penned by Clive Exton and George MacDonald Fraser, this 1985 flick might not have snagged any Oscars, but it does offer a buffet of campy fun and over-the-top sword fights.

Fans of the Austrian Oak, however, argue that this sword-and-sorcery movie isn’t even close to his worst film. That dubious honor goes to Hercules in New York (1970), the actor’s debut flick.

Schwarzenegger’s first big screen outing, directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman, has been widely panned. The movie’s reputation is so poor that fans often scratch their heads, baffled by how the actor went from this flop to a superstar. One especially puzzled viewer even asked, “How did he become a star?”

Arnold Schwarzenegger...

Seargeoh Stallone, Sylvester's son, is one of the lesser-known members of the Stallone family. Sylvester Stallone was one of the biggest movie stars of the '70s and '80s. Even when he moved out of the peak stardom of his earlier career, Stallone remained in the Hollywood spotlight thanks to some key cameos, smaller roles in major franchises, and the occasional return to the lead in films like Creed and The Expendables.

With his burly physique, unique voice, and ability to play sensitive and strong, Stallone is one of those directors and actors with a high approval rating from everyone. Stallone has had several high-profile relationships, including three marriages. He married Sasha Czack in 1974 and divorced her in 1985, married Brigitte Nielsen that same year and divorced her in 1987, and then married Jennifer Flavin in 1997 and has been with her since. Stallone is not shy about his personal life,...

Regarding movie stars during the 1980s, it does not get any bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger, who spent this decade starring in some of the most iconic action movies ever produced. From his breakout success in Conan the Barbarian to the timeless appeal of The Terminator, this Austrian bodybuilder managed to become one of Hollywoods most bankable stars and earn his place as a touchstone of modern popular culture. With a skill for playing no-nonsense heroes who had little issue with leaving bodies and carnage in their wake, the only thing more unstoppable than Schwarzenegger during the 1980s was his career.

Many of the best Schwarzenegger action movies were released during the 1980s, as his ongoing rivalry with fellow action hero Sylvester Stallone meant they pushed one another to continually up the stakes and make increasingly intense, over-the-top action movies. Schwarzenegger played fantasy warriors, unstoppable killing machines, and skilled Special Forces officers during this time,...

Arnold Schwarzenegger made a huge impact in action films from the 80s and 90s, becoming an international star. Schwarzenegger diversified his roles, appearing in action films, genre oddities, and family comedies. Despite his peak and slight decline, Schwarzenegger has remained active in Hollywood, showcasing no signs of slowing down.

For an entire generation of film fans, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies provided some of the most iconic action flicks of the 1980s and 90s. He's played heroes and villains, ruthless robots, and kindergarten cops. With bulging muscles, a singularly bizarre presence, and a lot of heart, Schwarzenegger parlayed a bodybuilding career into one of Hollywood's most profitable and prolific film careers. Arnold's breakthrough came with 1982's Conan the Barbarian, a box-office hit that captured the attention of James Cameron, who then cast him as the titular role in the action game-changer The Terminator.

That movie made Schwarzenegger an international star. Schwarzenegger...

Flavor of Love was a reality dating show that aired on VH1 from January 2006 to May 2008, starring rapper Flavor Flav from the Hip Hop group Public Enemy. The show began as a result of Flavor Flav's failed relationship with Brigitte Nielsen, showcased on VH1's Strange Love and their appearances on The Surreal Life. Thanks to the general interest, the audience had grown towards Flavor Flav's life and Flavor of Love was a huge hit, particularly with the second season finale becoming the second highest-rated non-sports basic cable show of 2006. The format of the show revolved around the rapper dating a group of 20 women who competed for his affection. The rapper would date all these women over several weeks in the hopes of finding his ideal partner. However, what made Flavor of Love stand out from other dating reality shows was the rappers unique twist. Flav was known to label each contestant,...

At long last, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the fourth film in the franchise (and the first in thirty years) is out, with it streaming on Netflix. We’ve certainly done our fair share of coverage for the movie here on the site, with me being lucky enough to interview Eddie Murphy and much of the cast while also attending the premiere in Beverly Hills.

This time, we’re doing from worst to best, so buckle up! And – while you’re at it check out our LiveStream from last night, where our host, Kier Gomes, did his own rankings!

Axel Foley is tired, man.

The veteran lawman literally says so not an hour into in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, when rather than slip into yet another colorful persona/accent to finagle himself a room at (yes, the) Beverly Palms Hotel, he stops himself mid-bit, lets out an exhausted sigh, and instead just opens his wallet.
