1995 wasn’t a good year for Sylvester Stallone at the multiplex. His summer tentpole, Judge Dredd, flopped domestically, and it was quickly followed by Richard Donner’s Assassins, which only grossed $30 million at the domestic box office. While Sly’s career had seen a few slumps, his straightforward action movies typically performed, and the failure of those two films put his clout as one of the world’s biggest stars in jeopardy. In this episode of Sylvester Stallone Revisited, we’re going to talk about a movie that was supposed to be a big-budget, commercial change of pace for the actor but wound up being the last would-be blockbuster he’d star in for years. That’s right; we’re going to talk about Rob Cohen’s Daylight.

Brendan Fraser's ongoing Brenaissance (sorry) continues as the once-reclusive star re-emerges into the spotlight. Much of Hollywood's newly rediscovered love for Fraser stems from his Oscar-nominated turn in Darren Aronofsky's "The Whale," but he's also got the benefit of '90s nostalgia and just being a charming guy working in his favor. That effortless charm was put to good use back in the '90s when Fraser was handed starring role after starring role. From his breakthrough in 1992's "Encino Man," which established his ongoing penchant for playing "naif characters," to 1997's "George of The Jungle," and his biggest hit "The Mummy," Fraser had a gentle and endearing demeanor that proved popular with audiences of all ages. Sometimes.
Other times, it didn't work that way. "George of The Jungle" proved a hit for Disney in '97, bringing in 105 million at the box office on a 55 million budget. Two...

Sean Kanan became one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors after playing Daniel Larusso’s rival and tormentor Mike Barnes in The Karate Kid Part III in 1989. As it turns out, the actor’s career almost came to an early end when he suffered a near-fatal injury while shooting the movie.

In The Karate Kid Part III, Kanan portrayed Mike Barnes, a skillful and brutal karate fighter who competed in competitions around the country and won more than he lost. Dubbed the “Karate’s Bad Boy,” Barnes was Terry Silver’s hired gun, and was picked out of a karate magazine for his reputation as a consistent winner and ruthless competitor.

Knowing that Cobra Kai Season 6 will be the final season is a little bit sad. Cobra Kai gave Karate Kid fans so much joy and introduced a whole new generation of karate kids. At least ending the show now means the inevitable legacy revival will happen even sooner. The final season of Cobra Kai is sure to end with a bang. Here are seven burning questions we hope the Cobra Kai final season answers.
L-r: Yuji Okumoto, William Zabka, Ralph Macchio | Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix 1. Will Julie Pierce finally appear in ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6?
This is the last chance to fully connect all the Karate Kid films to Cobra Kai. Hilary Swank played Julie Pierce in The Next Karate Kid. Creators Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald and Hayden Schlossberg acknowledge she is canon because Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) was in her film. Swank said she was open to it when she...

There's a certain satisfaction that comes from movie crossovers that can't be achieved from any other means. It's the same part of a person's mind that fuels the classic "who would win in a fight" playground arguments, where kids argue whether Superman or Goku would win in a fight with the same fervor as members of a congressional body debating laws. From the classics like "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" and "Alien vs. Predator" to the recent "Godzilla vs. Kong," it's a medium that scratches an itch in a very primal part of our brains.
One movie that most people rightly don't usually consider for a crossover is "The Karate Kid." A teenager who learns karate from a handyman isn't going to measure up combat-wise to most other movie characters. It also just doesn't feel necessary, especially with the spin-off series "Cobra Kai" being such a success right now.
