Of note is an 8 minute chase scene through the crowded, chaotic streets of Manila that starts on foot and evolves into a ramshackle jalopy cab race that is actually dangerous looking due to the throngs of families and small children watching it all just inches from the action. Kids stare into the camera and then jump out of the frame as stunt drivers careen onto sidewalks and blast through fruit stands. None of this is done at high speed…

Stand Alone 1985
Action stars were so in-demand during the 80's that even Charles Durning was recruited. The only character actor I can think of who is less fit for this type of role would be someone like Wilford Brimley. We even get to see Durning cut someone's throat! They team him up with the legendary Pam Grier which further adds to the out-of-body experience. This feels decidedly Cannon-lite but is memorable for the casting alone.

Needful Things 1993
In one scene, Amanda Plummer plays a "prank" on the town's mayor by covering the inside of his house with phony infraction tickets with offences written in marker for things like corruption, embezzlement, theft etc. Yet on one of the tickets that gets a semi-closeup, she's written "Cornholing your mother". Seriously. I rewound that a few times wondering if I was seeing things. Nope. "Cornholing your mother".
