Viewing Notes
RIP Grant Page
Had to watch a meaty role with Grant Page to celebrate his life. this one is probably the best for that after Stunt Rock. He and Hargreaves are stuntmen that get chosen for a mission in the Philippines (but I really think they just filmed in NSW and it looks the same abandoned factory that Brian Trenchard Smith used in Strike of the Panther).
This is fun buddy action comedy that is thin on story but full of stunts to highlight their abilities. As noted in the previous film Mad Max 2, Grant was one of the real ones and a great dude by all accounts. Love seeing him in this chewing scenery and having a good time.
