A Corrupted Nation, Operated by EVIL Drug Lords, Are No Match for "McBain" reviewed! (Synapse Films / Blu-ray)
“McBain” Explodes onto Blu-ray from Synapse! Vietnam War has officially ended, and U.S. troops evacuate the worn torn country almost immediately until Robert Santos and his squadron happen upon a Vietcong-controlled POW camp still operating under the merciless thumb of North Vietnamese soldiers either unaware of the news that war is over or are blatantly disregarding defeat to deface the enemy.…

McBain is presented in high definition with a newly created DTS-HD MA English 5.1 Surround track along with the original theatrical 2.0 stereo mix. Special features are listed below.
Special features:
Audio commentary by director James Glickenhaus and film historian Chris Poggiali
Theatrical trailer
When prisoner of war Robert McBain (Christopher Walken) is rescued in the jungles of North Vietnam by a group of Rangers, he expresses his thanks and gratitude. The leader of the Rangers, Santos (Chick Vennera), takes out a $100 bill, tears it in two, gives half to McBain and says, “If the other half of this bill ever finds you, you can pay me back.”
Eighteen years later, Santos is killed in Colombia while leading a fight against drug lords and corrupt politicians. His sister, Christina (Maria Conchita Alonso) goes to New York with the other half of the bill and seeks out McBain to enlist his help in overthrowing the Colombian regime. With the surviving ex-Rangers from his Vietnam rescue (including Michael Ironside and Steve James), McBain’s team travels to Colombia to break the power of the drug lords and avenge Santos’ death.
Pre-order McBain.

tezz is the new animaniacs worth watching or should i just to the old one, i remember hearing they weren't using a lot of the characters and it kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
a lot of people apparently didnt like it but i think its fun it def hits its stride in season 2
they werent able to use a lot of characters because they wanted to use the original voice actors but they werent able to get a lot of them for various reasons like for example Pesto's va Chick Vennera was battling cancer and later passed in 2021, Sherri Stoner, Slappy's va just didn't want to lol and so on but they do make cameos through the seasons! just not voiced
they did take out hello nurse entirely which they didnt really have to but, yknow, frightened studio execs and all that lmfao
there are other short segments other than the warners and pinky and the brain like starbox and cindy (which i grew to enjoy tbh) and they try out other stuff as well
i would say that the reboot doesnt have the same charms as the original the characterisations have ever so slightly changed and i do still prefer the og but i like the reboot a lot so definitely give it a chance it does have some really great moments even if as a whole it isnt quite what it used to be AND you get to see funny little characters run around and make noice for the first time in 22 years and isnt that enough<3 sfgdghf
I RECOMMEND WATCHING THE ORIGINAL FIRST IF YOU HAVENT THOUGH there are fun references and stuff through especially season one so. do that lol that includes Wakko's Wish absolutely required viewing thanku<333

Synapse Films announces McBain (1991) on Blu-ray 7/11
The 1991 Cult Action Classic McBain, starring Academy Award Winner Christopher Walken and directed by James Glickenhaus, comes to Blu-ray July 11th!
On July 11th, Synapse Films will release McBain on Blu-ray with an all-new 5.1 Surround Mix created specifically for this release.
At the end of the Vietnam War, POW Robert McBain (Christopher Walken), is freed by a squad of Army Rangers led by Santos (Chick Vennera). In gratitude, McBain promises to help Santos whenever he's in need. Santos takes out a $100 bill, tears it in two, gives half to McBain and says, "If the other half of this bill ever finds you, you can pay me back."
Almost twenty years later, Santos, back in his native Colombia, is killed while leading a fight against drug lords and corrupt politicians. Santos’ sister Christina (Maria Conchita Alonso) travels to America with the other half of the $100 bill in an attempt to enlist McBain's help in overthrowing the Colombian regime. McBain brings together the former Rangers (Michael Ironside, Steve James, Thomas G. Waites, Jay Patterson) to help bring down the dictator and drug lords in an all-out war on drugs, political corruption and injustice.

Hearing about Chick Vennera’s death makes me feel sorry for all the Goodfeather jokes I’ve made since I started watching Animaniacs last year.
I’m sorry Pesto 😥
