Poll title taken from that infinite font of genius, the imdb boards

ok, yeah, you've got the "buncha shitty" copout, but if you'd seen Omega Code 2: Meggido, you'd have included it, so way to go revealing that you haven't seen Omega Code 2.

oh SHIT, Udo Kier was in Omega Code 2 and Ironside was in the original! Fuck, we should BOTH kill ourselves.

da croupier, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 05:12 (eighteen years ago)

Ironside plays "The Edge" in the Omega Code, btw. SEE IT.

da croupier, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 05:13 (eighteen years ago)

dude was evidently the voice of Darkseid on Justice League and Superman AND played Nolan 'The Chairman' Pierce on Walker, Texas Ranger and Dr. William 'Wild Willy' Swift on ER. I kinda really wanna see this 'The Chairman' role.

Plot summary for
The Omega Code (1999)

Ancient codes hidden within the Torah reveals the secrets of global events, past (i.e. Hitler, the Kennedy assasination, the Gulf War), present, and future. One man (York) is after the Code, seeking the power to change the world as we know it...for the worse. Another (Van Dien) seeks the truth, risking his life and everything he stands for in order to stop him. Written by Anonymous

Plot summary for
Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 (2001)

Megiddo is a supernatural ride into a world teetering on the edge of the Apocalypse. It follows the rise of a Machiavellian leader bent on amassing the armies of the world for the battle of Armageddon while calamities of Biblical proportions pummel the Earth. Though both prequel and sequel to The Omega Code, Megiddo works also as a stand alone story for anyone who missed its predecessor. For at its emotional core, Megiddo is the Caine and Abel story of the two men enamoured with the same woman, raised as brothers, who grew up to find themselves pitted against each other over the fate and souls of the entire world.

"V" The Series, now and forever, but I loved how he lost his arms in Total Recall.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 13:20 (eighteen years ago)

between The Machinist and the verhoeven movies, how many arms did he lose? four?

anyway, im voting for 'buncha shitty movies', meaning Extreme Prejudice.

A logical winner.

Funny that when I saw the name I had no idea who it was, but when I saw the list of movies I knew IMMEDIATELY.

On the corrugated tin set of Total Recall! Way to save money, guys! "No no, you don't understand... the future looks like a prefab warehouse."

Scarily accurate, judging from the exteriors of the gentrified buildings being put up around town nowadays.

kingfish, Thursday, 9 August 2007 04:16 (eighteen years ago)

That scar on the side of his face looked like one of the latex blood vessels used in Scanners.

That scar on the side of his face is actually a scar on the side of his face, you dick.
