THERE’S NO ESCAPISM quite like a good (or even a laughably terrible) action movie.
For every classic Schwarzenegger or Stallone film, there were a dozen more made in Hollywood trying to capitalise on their success.
This quiz is on some of the more obscure action films that have hit our screens in recent decades.
Best of luck.

Loyalists have to be made to understand, that times have changed. They should not be able to get away with their terrorist tactics as they did in the past. The Brits must be made to rein them in.
Loyalists up to their old tricks again but I wonder will we see any condemnation from the republican haters on this site? Loyalists hate the press as they are constantly being investigated for their criminality and links to the security forces. Their actions are largely ignored in the Republic where the focus is on one party’s fairy tale links to all sorts of innuendo and a non existent “threat” from a now disbanded former paramilitary army. That still doesn’t stop the “chicken lickin” scare stories being bandied about by people who refuse to move with the times. Printer cartridges and roll calls are after all more important than an ongoing threat from an organized criminal gang that intimidates and assaults people and communities on a regular basis.
Luckily we have reporters who do keep up to date and keep up the pressure on the UDA (who haven’t gone away you know!). The UDA obviously don’t like their continuing existence being brought up seeing as it shows that they are still active in “community development” such as extortion, drug dealing, racketeering and other crime. Hopefully the Press will launch a major campaign in support of one of their own and get this threat lifted.
I’d safely say the “Republican Haters” you refer to are more haters of all terrorist/criminal groups and not just Republiian groups.
Why did they issue a threat?? What did the journalist do or find out to get them that annoyed??
Probably one of two things. Criminality or collusion. It might also be linked to the intimidation of Catholics and Polish people in South Antrim. A number of pipe bombs have been left there by Loyalists over the past couple of years to try and clear the area of Catholics. The usual deranged idiots who are clueless about current affairs would have you believe it was SF or the non-existent Provo’s that were trying to drive the Catholics out! but luckily enough there are people who (like this journalist) keep up to date and are not afraid to take a balanced view of the world.
The UDA have quite happily being lurking in the shadows for a while, watching all the focus on Republicans while the UDA live off their ill gotten gains. Now that the focus has shifted to them they are not happy and no amount of empathy and hysterical rants from Southern anti-Republicans is going to take the spotlight off them. Even the Irish Independent ran the story and surly that must be a major worry to the Brigadiers up North.
Loyalists need to realise that times have changed , and they can no longer get away with their terrorist tactics, as they did in the past. The Brits should rein them in
