Isn't the sequel a Cannon film?
It certainly felt like one ....

Anthropoid (2016)
Quite a gripping wee film about an assassination attempt during WWII.
Recommended. Was just handed to me. So I watched it. Edge of seat stuff at one point.

I think the original is excellent. It took me a while to get around to seeing this sequel, and I thought it was a massive step down.
What do you like most about it if you don't mind me asking, just curious.

A Force Of One (1980, Ted Post)

Didn't Post helm The Baby?
AANYway ... Not quite reaching the Bergmanesque heights of The Octagon, this is still a fascinating leer into one man's inner struggles.
Drugs are bad. Chuck seems convinced, fantasising about 15 year old junkies during his training sessions to make sure. He sure seems to train a lot ... and nae in that nice montage style either. It's more akin to Bruce La Bruce
I digress.
Chuck seems at a loss here, shakily walking a tightrope betwixt romantic lead and action hero that he continues to tread to this century .... sure in his footing he seems anyhow.
The Baby though.... one of the few times I've been genuinely shocked at something on TV.
Ahem.

Mongolian Death Worm
some crappy natures revenge, indiana jones wannabe. with terrible looking CGI worms.
The story centres around a couple of subplots, an earthquake awakens mongolian death worms, a treasure hunter looks for the grave of Genghis Khan to find riches and that's it. theres really only a couple of action scenes which are guff, the acting is what you would expect from syfy film and too many subplots.
4/10 as i'm feeling generous

Warren Oates’ captivating performance, and the way he and Peckinpah perfectly capture an average person forced into a situation when losing everything they care about, and the violent measures they are capable of in reaction to that.

One of Peckinpah's masterpieces.
