This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris go undercover with Fletch as the movie turns 40, releasing on May 31st, 1985.
Based on the first book in the Fletch series by Gregory Mcdonald, Chevy Chase is Irwin P. Fletcher aka Fletch. A reporter for the Los Angeles Times who writes under the pseudonym "Jane Doe", Fletch goes undercover and uses fake identities and disguises to pursue his leads. While investigating drug trafficking on the beaches of Los Angeles, Fletch is approached by Alan Stanwyck (Tim Matheson), who offers Fletch $50,000 to kill him, as he's dying of bone cancer. Fletch is suspicious and starts to dig into Stanwyck, uncovering a complicated scheme that involves fake real estate deals, multiple wives, suspicious flights to Utah, and more. Zach and Chris discuss the movie's excellent soundtrack, the amusing running gag of charging elaborate food orders to the Underhills, how most of Fletch's disguises are just him in a different suit, the many character actors who appear, including the late George Wendt and Joe Don Baker, and more.
You can rent or buy Fletch on services such as Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Fandango at Home. Next week, we're getting our asses to Mars and discussing Total Recall, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

For the latest Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris return to 1984 to watch The Karate Kid, just in time for Karate Kid: Legends hitting theaters.
The movie that kicked off the entire "Miyagi-verse," which includes Cobra Kai and the original sequels, The Karate Kid, stars Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, who travels from Newark, New Jersey, to Los Angeles with his mother, Lucille (Randee Heller). Daniel catches the eye of cheerleader Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue) but also Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who bullies and beats Daniel down with karate learned at the Cobra Kai dojo. Daniel gets help from his apartment building's handyman, Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), who uses unorthodox training methods to help Daniel prepare for a karate tournament to face the Cobra Kai head-on. Martin Kove co-stars as the ruthless Cobra Kai sensei John Kreese. While revisiting the movie, Zach and Chris appreciate how Mr. Miyagi trains Daniel but also gets a bunch of housework done for free, why a restaurant manager job has better pay and benefits than an office computer job, the enigma of Ali being a popular cheerleader along with kind of a nerd, how it seems like there was a mass exodus from Jersey in the 80s and more.
You can watch The Karate Kid streaming on Fubo or Philo, or find a copy elsewhere and watch along with Zach and Chris.

To help on his mission, Ethan is tasked with recruiting a thief named Nya Nordoff-Hall (Thandiwe Newton), who is Ambrose's former flame.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris enter the mind of a killer and discuss Mindhunters, which came out in the US 20 years ago this week (after being released in almost every other country around the world in 2004).
Directed by Renny Harlin, Mindhunters follows a group of FBI agents training to be profilers under the unorthodox methods of Jake Harris (Val Kilmer), who places his trainees in elaborate simulations. As a final test, the group is left on a remote island off the coast of North Carolina to uncover the simulated crime scenes of "The Puppeteer." Instead, they find themselves up against a real killer, who begins taking the team out one by one via elaborate traps. Zach and Chris discuss who is bringing all the cats onto this remote military island, LL Cool J's over-the-top red herring, Christian Slater getting Sub-Zeroed by liquid nitrogen, the hilariously dumb underwater shootout, and more.
You can rent or buy Mindhunters on Prime Video, Fandango at Home, Apple, and more. Next week, our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to watch Mission: Impossible 2, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary along with the release of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in theaters.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris are in Boston for PAX East and discuss 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to get into the video game mindset.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Prince Dastan, who leads an assault against the holy city of Alamut for the Persian Empire and discovers a mysterious dagger. When accused of killing his father, King Sharaman (Ronald Pickup), he flees with Alamut's princess, Tamina (Gemma Arterton). He learns the dagger allows the wielder to travel 1 minute back in time. Realizing this was the reason behind the invasion, Dastan reluctantly teams up with Tamina to protect the dagger and keep the Sands of Time from being unleashed. Zach and Chris talk about where the Prince of Persia game series was at the time, how the movie is a critique/metaphor for the Iraq War, Dastan immediately abandoning his childhood friend to become a prince, the parkour action, and more.
You can watch Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time on Disney+. Next week, we'll get into the mind of a killer and discuss Renny Harlin's ridiculous 2005 thriller Mindhunters, which turns 20.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head to Chicago for the Chuck Norris classic Code of Silence, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Cusack also finds himself shunned by his fellow cops when he refuses to back corrupt cop Cragie (Ralph Foody), who kills an unarmed bystander during the drug bust and tries to cover it up. Zach and Chris discuss how this feels like Chuck's version of Bullitt or The French Connection, how weird it is to hear Ralph Foody speak non-Home Alone dialogue, Dennis Farina's comedic relief, and, oh yeah, the KILLER ROBOT that Chuck uses in the explosive finale.
You can watch Code of Silence on Prime Video and PlutoTV. Next week, we're getting into the gaming state of mind as we head to PAX East by watching Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which turns 15 later this month.
