    The Big Hit…terrible. I always thought it was directed by Tsui Hark. I just looked it up on IMDB and see that Wesley Snipes produced it ha-ha. Speaking of Tsui Hark, he directed the Van Damme flick “Knock Off” which came out in 1998. You should put that on your best list.

    I don’t think I even finished “Knock Off”. I can only put the terrible movies that at least I’ve seen, otherwise, every Rob Schneider movie would make the list.
