…in the form of some carefully curated YouTube clips.
Why? Because it’s Michael Ironside for crying out loud; one of the most hilariously intense, inherently villainous actors of all time. Oh, and that voice of gravel! Literally none of this is safe for work, but you knew that anyway. Enjoy:
Scanners (David Cronenberg, 1980) – scene dubbed in Spanish, naturally
Visiting Hours (Jean-Claude Lord – yes, really, 1982) – in the mood for love
Extreme Prejudice (Walter Hill, 1987) – What are you afraid of?
Starship Troopers (Paul Verhoeven, 1997) – “YUR KNUR WHA TU DURR!”
No idea what film this is, but it’s all kinds of awesome
Did I miss anything?
Double hard
I saw Michael Ironside at a film convention once and it disconcerted me that he had both arms in working order. he always seems to lose them in movies.
