There's a theory that any film can be saved by having Lance Henriksen in it. To test this theory, I'm watching Abominable on SciFi. Updates as it goes along. Nothing really bad yet Lance would need to save.

Oooh, oooh, it has Jeffrey Combs, too. This is a high-class B cast! :o)

BIG hairy arms FTW!
It actually turned quite splatter.

WTF are SciFi thinking, bloody "presenter" babbling while the film was actually still going, not during the credits? Stupid!! Grrrrr!
All in all, not bad, really, shattering windshields aside. Way better than Boa vs. Cobra or whatever it was last week. ;o) Not enough Lance, though.

Lance Henriksen or Bill Nighy.

*nods* Underworld was saved by Kate Beckinsale's arse, though. ;o)

But nothing that Kate Beckinsale's body had to offer could save that terrifying piece of shit that was "Van Helsing".

My, Henricksen and Combs in one film? That sounds good.
If Bruce Campbell also turns up, a classic is born. :-)

He couldn't save Pirhanas II.

I enjoyed Van Helsing in a morbid kind of way.

Add Paul Gleason (the principal in Breakfast Club) to the bill! (fantastic reference, too)
Now that would be something. :o)

Or Pirahnas II, even.

This theory is flawed to the power of AvP.

I once saw a film called Convergence. It had Christopher Lloyd in it, but I and all the friends I was watching it with were absolutely convinced that it was Lance Henriksen. Every time he was off screen, we expected him to come back as Lance; it was that much the Lance role, and at the height of his career (i.e. Millennium era).

I didn't know other people had documented The Lance Henrikson effect :)

Or Hellraiser 8

Nothing could save any Hellraiser film with a number higher than four. I'm a huge fan (I have a lifesize Lament Configuration box tattooed on my arm complete with chains ripping at my neck) but Bloodline is where I draw the (blood)line.
