BADE MIYAN, CHOTE MIYAN

I went to see this twice at the Century 14 Vallejo, here in Vallejo, CA on Monday's Senior Day and today's Bargain All Day Tuesday. Monday's admission price was $8.00. Today's admission price was $6.50.

Auditorium 9, B-6

Scene Commentaries:

I 1st saw this yesterday, Monday, April 15th, 2024, in the same auditorium and in the same seat as in today's show. The movie time shown is from yesterday's. Today's time is for the 6:20 p.m. show. I had to see this movie a 2nd time because I fell asleep for the better part of the 2nd half of this movie. 😴 I had the same Zero Sugar PK Hydrate flavored 20 oz ( 591 ml ) Dasani bottled water ( yesterday's was Citrus flavored, today's flavor is Wild Strawberry ). And I had the same lunch to go with the water: Genius Gourmet Chocolate Dream Keto Bar & a cup of Haldiram's ( Yogi approved 👌👳‍♂️👍 ) Bombay Mix. Eating popcorn while watching a Bollywood movie or Lollywood movie just seems so out of place.

That's a Field Artillery Cannon that the bad guys are using, similar to this one:

Interestingly, the US Constitution allows 

a citizen to have & own one of 

these near-obsolete 

Bad Boys!

The main bad guy probably bought this off a US Citizen arms dealer! Even though it's about ⅓ of the cost of a tracked artillery cannon, it takes extra time just to set it up. 😰 Which is why it doesn't make any sense for their field artillery cannon to effectively track, aim and shoot at the moving vehicles!  🤦‍♂️ An RPG would have done a better job of it!  😕

Meta Human, Bollywood's answer to Hollywood's Wolverine.  😃

Nepotism in Terrorism. Except it doesn't always work out the way it's supposed to. Look up "The Son of Hamas." 

"Cricket & Bollywood." What happened to Football? I mean, I just watched it!  😧  MAIDAAN, anyone ... hello?  🤨

Why didn't the bad guys have Outposts? 🤷‍♂️ They could've heard the chopper coming if they had outposts guarding their territorial perimeter.  😕

Some of those bad guys hit with an arrow could have easily squeezed off a round as they were dying.  😏

A bad guy was hit with a knife 🗡️ in his Upper Back. Judging by the width of the blade and the fact that it struck perpendicularly to the ground, it couldn't have caused a fatal hit by either hitting the Scapula or getting lodged between a couple Ribs.  🤨

Bade Miyan casually walked down the stairs but none of the bad guys already had their weapons drawn, aimed and ready to fire.  🙄

No biryani for the bad guy!  😀

In an active shoot-out, the COMMON SENSE Rule is Fire At Will!  Unless you're ordered to Ceasefire ❗

Military vehicles in active use don't need to be hot-wired to get them started. They're all push-button to start. My family's first vehicle, a decommissioned Korean War 1-Star General's Jeep still had a starter button even though it had already been made to operate with a key ignition. I had a co-worker who was a US Army Sergeant in charge of the Vehicle Inventory during The Iraq War. He said that their HumVees were all push-button to start. I mean, think about it. If you have to mobilize ASAP, do you really need to go fumbling or looking for a key? Why do you think that during the Disastrous Kabul Extraction, the rebels were able to have immediate use of our Taxpayer-funded military vehicles courtesy of Dangerous DOTARD brandon? 🤨

Why couldn't the bad guys chase down a couple of horses?  🤷‍♂️

Self-Reliant bad guys.  😁

Bitter Gourd can be eaten raw. I know because I've eaten it raw a number of times:

AKA Bitter Melon or Ampalaya

in the Philippines.

And, yes, as its name implies, it is bitter. If you eat it raw, it's only bitter in the 1st few bites. But then it becomes sort of sweet; it also is crunchy. It's one of the "Bitter Herbs" that are good for the Liver. It's also used to control Diabetes.

Why is the bad guy using a Tweezer to extract a lodged bullet? 🤷‍♂️ It's the kind of Tweezer that I use for my Nose Hairs! And it's not even always effective at pulling out a nose hair on the 1st try! A real doctor would have used a pair of Medical Forceps!  🧐

If you're given just a 15-second headstart, it will be a good idea to shorten the distance first to shave off a second or two, as a safety margin of error.

If someone slams you hard against a concrete wall that the wall crumbles, there's no chance in Hell that you'll be able to just "walk it off"! 

They're fighting each other inside the cargo van when it suddenly makes a sharp, hard left turn. But they still manage to stay standing up!  🤦‍♂️

Nobody told the bad guys that it is easy to break free of a single piece of ziptie restraint. 🤫

The Evil Twins. 😲

Cloning isn't an easy process. It will take decades more to perfect the Cloning Technique:

DNA Permission.

Most, if not all, DNA heritage/ancestry services sell their collected data to China. It's for a biological weaponization of some sort, according to conspiracists who have a good track record for accuracy. 😳 

If you want to track your ancestral lineage, just go to the Mormons. It's safer that way.  👍

Chote Miyan forgot to get a military style haircut! 💈 🤦‍♂️💈

Why don't they just reach a compromise? Instead of altogether terminating the Soldier X program, they should have a number of them around to handle extreme covert operations!  😕

Innovators always meet with initial resistance.

Why was he the only one with a Gas Mask on?

Why didn't the posted armed guards not shoot at them as they were about to successfully escape from the burning platform? 🤷‍♂️

"Intention is more important than capability."

Sanctions are just a Lip Service. It's not working against Israel, hamas, iran, Russia, etc. For as long as YUGE Profits can be made, there will always be War Profiteers.

After 3 days of being kept awake, they should have been sporting bags under their eyes.  😄

An armored vehicle with an Achilles Heel: Rubber Tires!  🤦‍♂️

The Secret Password ❗

Lip Syncing Only Works If Only ONE Is Doing It. Besides that, having others lip sync with you just doesn't sound right. Especially if one of the "singers" is of a Different GENDER ❗🤦‍♂️❗

This is not related to the movie. But just enjoy it.  😲

synopsis/overview:   Johnny Blaze ( Nicolas Cage ) hides out somewhere in Eastern Europe to get away from it all.  But a secret order of priests tracks him down because they need his help in saving a boy, Danny ( Fergus Riordan ), from the clutches of the Devil.

"I'm the people who are after you"; 9.)  Emergency room; 10.) "I want more"; 11.) Firewall; 12.) "Boyfriend/girlfriend"; 13.) "Devil's baby momma"; 14.) "Power of the Deal"; 15.) Crash; 16.) Happy camper; 17.) "Hey, I got what you need for your 'shakes"'; 18.) Illegal arms dealer; 19.) "Enough.  Let her go"; 20.) Truck stop; 21.) "Power of Decay"; 22.) "Second flame thrower"; 23.) "I hope you are finished shooting at me"; 24.) Twinkie; 25.) "Happy place"; 26.) "Spirit of Justice"; 27.) Confession; 28.) "You've been carrying this bread around for a while"; 29.)

"I can feel him"; and 44.) "Hell, yes!"

audience reaction:  The audience liked it.  But it didn't get a "Hands Clapper" ending.  The woman seated in the 10th column of the 6th row had a particularly fun time watching this movie.  And the young couple seated in the 6th row, too, to the left of me liked this movie enough that, after watching it, the girl called someone on her cellphone to tell that person how much she enjoyed watching this movie.

2nd audience reaction:  This particular crowd has no good ear for quips and has no good eye for sight gags at all: The very same lines of dialogue and the very same scenes that the Vallejo crowd found funny, the Fairfield crowd didn't "get" at all--it was "lost" to them.  On more than one occasion, I found myself the only one laughing at the quips and sight gags.

recommendation:  I liked it, too.  It was more fun to watch than the first one. What made this movie appealing is that it established itself early on as a Horror Comedy type of movie.  Hell, even the son of the Devil had three funny scenes in this movie!  Go see this movie if you're into Horror Comedy movies.

spoiler alert!  If he wanted to get the kid out of the car, all the bad guy had to do was smash the window to open the locked door, instead of hitting the door with his rifle butt.  Ghost Rider's jacket was made out of leather, so why did it bubble all over instead of just give-off smoke?  Ghost Rider's body couldn't have possibly done such an extensive damage on the SUV when his skeletal body was slammed hard against it.  When you're taken to the emergency room of a hospital for surgery, they usually take-off all of your clothes first.  An RPG could knock him out but a Bunker Buster couldn't ...?  If the bad guy had the Power of Decay, why didn't the ambulance he was driving get rusted?  If anything he touches decays, how was he able to capture the boy unharmed and alive in the first place?  Why didn't the rest of the posted guards hear the automatic rifle fire right away? The bad guy could have attack Johnny during the transference of Ghost Rider power.  When the bad guy landed on her vehicle's hood, why didn't Nadya ( Violante Placido ) slam on the brakes?  The vehicle didn't bounce hard when it ran over the body.  When Ghost Rider was carrying the unconscious Danny back to his mom, his head was next to Ghost Rider's head yet his hair didn't get singed.

fyi:  If you want to experience a close-approximate of what it is like to urinate a stream of  flames like the Ghost Rider does, simply get yourself infected with Gonorrhea and/or Chlamydia!

By the way, you can get Gonorrhea simply from performing Oral Sex on your infected partner.  And you could get your eyes infected by it, too!  So, be careful having sex; practice Safe Sex by wearing a Condom, a ( water-proof--good luck with that one ) Surgical Mask, and a pair of Swimming Goggles--you'll look stupid, funny and weird but you'll be safe, sexually-speaking!  LMAO

Oh, by the way, Gonorrhea is also called, "The Clap".

"If you'd been naughty and you got IT, clap your hands!
If you'd been naughty and you got IT, clap your hands!
If you'd been naughty and you got IT but you really don't want to spread IT,
If you'd been naughty and you got IT, clap your hands!"  LOL

Disclaimer:  I didn't mention this get-yourself-infected ... in my word of advice so that you can't go around blaming me for your sexually-transmitted infection, should you happen to get one.  Bwa, ha, ha, ha, ha---Snort!

The scene in which the bad guy with the Power of Decay tried to eat a sandwich which just decayed in his hand, then tried to eat an apple which also decayed in his hand, and finally got to eat a Twinkie is an inside joke:  There's this belief that a Twinkie, laden as it is with too many preservatives, will last a thousand years without decaying if it is properly stored!  I'll let you know in a thousand years whether this is true or not.

Lord knows, the Twinkie will probably  be the "Manna" that we will all be eating during Jesus Christ's Millennial Reign here on Earth!  Ha, ha, ha.

But I didn't know that they have Hostess Twinkies in Eastern Europe.

word of advice:  Don't make a pact with the Devil.

tidbits:  I went to Best Buy first thing this morning to have a security car alarm installed in my Hyundai Accent. I got there at around 9:30 a.m.  And there was already another guy waiting at the install bay parking area. To while the time away, I walked around the perimeter and did my Zhunti Mantra.

The bay opened for business at 10:00 a.m.  And the installer told me that it would take him three hours to work on my car.  Well, that just ruined my plan to see this movie in 3-D at either the 11:30 a.m. or the 1:10 p.m. show at the Edwards Fairfield Stadium 16 & I-Max.

I walked across the street to the Century 14 Vallejo to check the show times for this movie.  But it was still around 10:30 a.m. when I got there and the theatre was not yet opened.

I walked back to Best Buy and saw that the installer was already at work on my car. So, I went inside the store to use the men's room and to browse around in the DVD and Software sections.  Then, I went to check on my car again.  It was still being worked on.

I walked back to the theatre and saw that this movie had a 2-D showtime for 12:15 p.m.  Well, I might as well see this movie to pass the time away while my car is being worked on, I said to myself.  But I still want to see this movie again in 3-D, just because ....

The movie let out at around 2:10 p.m.  I checked my cellphone and found out that the installer just finished with my car less than twenty minutes earlier.  That was almost four hours just for a security car alarm installation!

As I walked back to Best Buy, I spotted a Hobo hide-out behind the Pep-Boys building nearby, complete with a cardboard mat and a stick of wood for the hobo's personal security and/or safety.  The hide-out is located under the rear cement staircase.

Anyway, the installation is not completely finished, as of yet.  The installer discovered that the right side door doesn't have an actuator in it.  I will need to take it back on Tuesday, at 1:00 p.m., to have him finish the job.  But the security alarm is now operational, except for the passenger side door.

Then, I went to the post office to drop off a mail-order.

And I went to Selecta Pilipino Buffet for lunch, and to buy some lottery tickets.

Finally, before heading on home, I walked to the 99 Cent Only Store next door to buy a three litre bottle of Strawberry Kiwi Fusion soda, a trail mix, some batteries, and a few dessert cups.  Of course, Brett might argue that I could have bought most of these things--except for the soda--at Safeway.  But his manager pissed me off so much last night that I'm boycotting that particular Safeway store for the foreseeable future!

2nd tidbits:  I was the last dining patron left at Hometown Buffet.  And I wanted to have a frozen yogurt swirl to cap my dining experience before leaving the premises.  So, I went to the frozen yogurt dispensing machine to get a bowl of Vanilla & Chocolate Swirl.  When I pulled down on the center lever, the machine didn't squirt out a swirl; instead, with a loud noise, it BLASTED-OUT a clump of swirl into my cup!  Not to mention, my upper body was splattered with it, too. What a way to cap my dining experience!
