[Ponen19]

The Boondock Saints. The first is better but the second is still pretty good.

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

Also all of the other Rambo movies, the Dollars triology, Death Race 2000, Aliens, Starship Troopers, Robocop, all the Evil Dead movies(even the new one shockingly.), Barbarella, The Toxic Avenger, Fantastic Planet, Conan the Barbarian, Predator, Predator 2, The 7th Seal, anything with Toshiro Mifune, Masters of the Universe, Starcrash, all of the Return of the Living Dead movies, Heavy Metal, movies with special effects done by Ray Harryhausen, Tron, The Black Hole, Logan's Run, The Dirty Dozen, Escape from New York, Kelly's Heroes, and Blade Runner.

Venerable Requiem is addressed by rank rather than name.

[Soap]

The Following needs to be added to that. Epic series with Kevin Bacon.
