ZED: As we disussed, we needed a tribute to the master of B action and small insignificant roles in the larger action movies: Michael Rooker. We know you'll recognize him and we dare you to pickup any title where he is the lead. If you like laugh your ass off action, he's your guy.
Brain—which was the movie where he is trapped by two guys on either side and he is holding out the shotgun to give it up. Then, as only Michael Rooker can do, he craftily pulls the trigger and lets go, shooting one guy and the kickback of the shotgun sends it right into the other guys chest, knocking him across the room, I couldn't breathe for 10 minutes.

BRAIN: HA HA! I think I found it. It's called Back to Back from 1996. Here is the trailer.It has a glimpse of the shotgun-recoil move. Be patient, it takes a long time load. Remember the stunt he pulls when he's in a car between two guys holding guns to him? He pulls the emergency break causing them to slide forward and shoot each other. Classic!
ZED: Heh....I forgot about that, I'm going to netflix this and we have got to rewatch this
