Isn’t it kind of weird how Archer was a huge cultural thing for a minute? Then a group of extremists called themselves ISIS and the whole show started the flush into irrelevance. But at the very least we got a few good memes out of it. So in that spirit, we’d like to do a movie in reference to the Kenny Loggins obsession Archer had. To that end we have Danger Zone(1996).
Billy Zane and Robert Downey Jr are dudes in Africa. Downey is running “toxic waste” on behalf of an evil corporation because this is the nineties. Bad things happen and Downey disappears and Zane flees Africa. Then he gets recruited by Ron Silver, playing Mr Dupont so you know he’s good, to go and find what happened to the toxic waste.
Next up we have Showdown In Little Tokyo(1991). Dolph Lundgren plays giant, literally, weeb who works the beat investigating the Yakuza in California. Brandon Lee becomes his partner as they investigate Shang Tsung’s plot to monopolize the meth trade in America. There’s also Tia Carrere because, again, it’s the nineties.
