GBW #32: Culture Clash (Drive [1997] / Rush Hour / Silent Assassins)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!

This week, Ryan and Chris dive into a trio of buddy cop/buddy action films of the "East Meets West" motif. We start with 1997's "Drive," an energetic, no-frills "Terminator" meets "Midnight Run" blast that has slowly developed a cult following over the years (and hopefully more people come away from this episode as converts), then move into 1998's "Rush Hour," a film that needs no introduction but perhaps some may need to throw away those rose-tinted glasses (spoiler: aside from Jackie Chan's action scenes, it sucks), before ending with a very special piece of VHS dirtbaggery that is just itching to be discovered by the world: 1988's "Silent Assassins," starring Sam Jones, Linda Blair, and a whole lotta dismembered body parts.
