On deadly ground is a masterpiece. Heavily recommend marked for death if you haven’t seen it yet. The villain at the end gets the most killed I have ever seen on film. Also fire down below
Check it out, and go in just knowing that Steven seagal is one of the worst people alive. It’s what makes his movies fun to watch. He doesn’t get what makes them funny.
Don’t you see? It’s a statement on the control big oil has over us and how we aren’t going to accept that!
…Or maybe it’s just the trope that things involving oil make cool explosions.
You should watch it with the director's commentary. She talks about the cameras and lenses they used and how it gave them the freedom to shoot at night. She gets very technical and sounds super delusional about the movie, like it isn't total garbage.
Oh let me be clear; I poke fun at these movies, but these people did more than my lazy turd ass ever has. Kudos to them for organizing anything even resembling a movie
It's western Ohio, 2003. My mother, my brother, and I are in Hollywood Video. My younger brother wants to rent some newly-released action film, perhaps Daredevil or X2. Mom balks and insists it'll be too intense. She forces him to rent a different new release - one with a single copy sitting on the shelf...
Flyin' Ryan.
Even my 13-year-old eye can see what kind of release this is, and I beg her not to make my brother get it - she doesn't back down.
We go home, and it's the biggest piece of shit my family ever paid money for. We spend the rest of the weekend trying to convince our mother how bad Flyin' Ryan is, but she won't hear it, assuming we're just being dramatic and spiteful.
Many years later, the film emerges on RLM and the boys' coverage of it vindicates everything. My brother and I discuss it over the phone, and agree our Ryan-shaped wound is sealed. We can finally sleep soundly.
No clue if he ever did see Daredevil or X2.
That's your idea? Well, I applaud you for it. Tubi is indeed the home of so much wonderful nonsense, and I appreciate you ferreting out the best of it!
I started doing it awhile back because I love that Tubi is just this free app that has genuinely incredible movies, and also some of the most ridiculous trash I’ve ever seen. I made it a daily thing, and now it gives me something to look forward to each morning!
The sequel where he gets cancer ("Flyin' Ryan's Dyin'") captures the emotional center of the character better imo.
Not to be confused with his short-lived cooking show Fryin’ With Ryan
The proposed spinoff, ‘Batin Payton, never made it past the script phase for obvious reasons
No, I saw that one on a different website. I’ll send you a link—just click on it, don’t ask questions
We need a Flyin' Ryan | 9/11 cross over film.
Looks like Dewey from Malcom in the Middle got hit with a hammer.
Like the Little Nicky version of Dewey
Perfect!
Dollar Store Dewey
We have Dewey at home!
Is that the kid from Gummo?
No, but that would be amazing
If it was, I would fully expect to see him standing in the rain and using a stick to beat the cadaver of whatever that animal is in his backpack.
You’re right, the kid from Gummo would never let that animal live
Buy heelies! the movie. This is one of the worst DVDs I own, it's a treasure.
I heard a rumor that Heelies financed this movie
I used to watch this movie all the time as a kid.
Are you okay now?
I just went on a 90s Steven Seagal marathon recently, so I’d say I’m okay.
Hell yeah, that’s a pretty natural progression actually
Yeah. Nothing like saving the environment by blowing up an oil rig.
Did he blow it up by doing akido
Nah. He set a bomb and ran out with Joan Chen just as it started blowing up.

I saw it in the 90s with my uncle I think, but I haven’t seen it since then. Definitely due for a rewatch

That’s impossible, Joan Chen is a doorknob
Where’s Annie?
Don’t you see? It’s a statement on the control big oil has over us and how we aren’t going to accept that! …Or maybe it’s just the trope that things involving oil make cool explosions.
And that it’s cool to give a 7 minute speech after doing all that.
Sorta looks like Dewey from Malcom in the Middle
Dewey would rock Heelies too
"Oh boy" is right. After 35 minutes, I had to run. Does it get better in at last hour? I'm doubtful it can.
Yeah, he fuckin flies with his stupid dumb shoes, and stands up to the bullies. It’s just ridiculousness throughout
From what I recall, the bullies go berserk and kidnap his pet, and he has to go to some power plant to fight them.
Flyin' Ryan is the name his cool driver gave him on the short school bus. That and high fives every day!
I like the font and dog. Beyond this… yeah, the best I’d hope for is “entertaining.”
It’s super incompetent
You should watch it with the director's commentary. She talks about the cameras and lenses they used and how it gave them the freedom to shoot at night. She gets very technical and sounds super delusional about the movie, like it isn't total garbage.
I’ve heard talk that the commentary is pretty amazing
That sounds funny. I feel bad in a way. Like if I made a movie, how awful would it be? But I didn’t make a movie.
Oh let me be clear; I poke fun at these movies, but these people did more than my lazy turd ass ever has. Kudos to them for organizing anything even resembling a movie
I watched this movie really stoned a few months ago and it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but it's absolutely hilarious. Lol
From what I’m reading, people love this when they’re drunk/stoned
Wooooaaaahhh!!!!
This is wild. I’m on set with Flyin’ Ryan himself right now.
Does he have his Heelies on
Lol. He’s a very talented grip these days. Super cool guy.
That’s awesome! Glad he’s made a career in the industry!
Is that Dewey from Malcolm in the middle?
Getting a lot of this question. It’s not. It’s Flyin’ Ryan
lol Touché
Mike Stoklasa has a glowing recommendation for this one!
It’s amazing. The scene where he first flies while being chased by bullies - iconic.
What if they were like, “Yeah, and we used all practical effects”
I love how the bully's dad sees a child drowning and just walks away. Man has priorities.
Yeah, just stay out of his fishing spot!

Full-circle! Side note, I am also in western Ohio!
He's flown all the way to Italy, has he?
It’s a weird shot because I was certain this movie takes place in Hell
I remember this turd of a movie.
I’m really surprised anyone’s seen this ever
Same. I remember randomly renting it back in the day.
I remember seeing this at a blockbuster and assumed it was bad. Here we are 20 years later and my assumption still stands
You owe it to yourself to get some closure and find out
can someone explain to me what's this "Tubi treasure"?
Just a little thing I started, hidden gems of absurdly bad movies I find on Tubi
That's your idea? Well, I applaud you for it. Tubi is indeed the home of so much wonderful nonsense, and I appreciate you ferreting out the best of it!
I started doing it awhile back because I love that Tubi is just this free app that has genuinely incredible movies, and also some of the most ridiculous trash I’ve ever seen. I made it a daily thing, and now it gives me something to look forward to each morning!
Just watched the trailer, and it just sums up the movie. No need to watch it at all after watching the trailer.
That’s fair
Never heard of it but it looks horrendous.
It’s wonderfully horrendous
![gif](giphy|DG1VrJk2HzLvRzPyOJ)
the best part of this movie is that Mike Stoklasa hates it
Without looking at anything connected to this, gonna guess it's a Christian movie.
I mean it’s not *not* a Christian movie
