      May I suggest reacting to BIKER BOYZ or TORQUE both motorbike movie's that have become cult classics. When the media were saying that Black panther was the first majority black movie. I was no chance I think kid rock is the only cracker in BIKER BOYZ 👍

    She's really Holly Valance, and she did have a short pop music success. She's Australian and comes from TV soapie called Neighbours. That is where Margot Robbie came from before her big Hollywood success, and pop princess Kylie Minogue.
    Neighbours was shot near my mate's place un Melbourne, and as kids in the 80s and 90s, we'd all watch it after school. It was massive in the UK, hence trying to turn them into pop stars.
    The rival sopie is Home and Away, that's where the Hemsies come from.

    IMO, it's basically a perfect movie. Strong dad energy. "The Equalizer" is also good. Similar vibe, and it came out within a month of "John Wick" ... actually earning more money than Wick.
    As for the sequels to this ... they're not bad, but the first film is perfect.

    What's even crazier, is that it took Liam Neeson 10 years of his acting career to convince Hollywood he could carry the lead in an ACTION movie! Hollywood had become so used to muscle bound action stars like Arnold, Stallone, Jean Claude Van Damme, they couldn't understand how a tall rake of a guy like Neeson who wasn't a typical athletic ripped gym bunny could possibly be an Action star! 😮
