The Lone Ranger (Extended)

In 2013 Disney were still looking for the next Pirates of the Caribbean so they thought, alright fine. Let’s again get Johnny Depp in a dumb hat and have him run about balancing on stuff to a Hans Zimmer score in a movie directed by Gore Verbinski. Oh and I guess Armie Hammer can be there also. The result was The Lone Ranger a movie with a couple of cancelled guys and some spectacular action sequences. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

The Predator (Extended)

We’ve reached the end of the 20th Century Fox era of Predator movies, right before the Disney purchase in 2019. This particular entry had a lot going for it, the return of director Shane Black to the franchise, an R rating, solid cast, big budget and yet it’s regarded as probably the worst movie in the franchise with the inclusion of a giant nine feet tall Predator and movie Autism as a superpower. Thanks for coming with us on this particular journey and thanks for watching this particular Caravan Of Garbage review

Predator 2 (Extended)

With the massive success of the first film and massive amounts of franchise potential a sequel to the original Predator, Predator 2 released in 1990 was inevitable. Despite lacking some key elements from the first, Arnold Schwarzenegger and a jungle it does mix things up with the inclusion of Danny Glover, an LA in the midst of a heat/crime wave and a new and even more dangerous Predator. It’s a fun ride if you arn’t expecting exactly the same thing and also like Gary Busey. Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garage review.
