Note: In tribute to the late Director David Ellis, Crave Online's film channel editor (and co-host of The B-Movies Podcast), William Bibbiani returns (check out some of his past appearances on the podcast here) for a shared love of what we believe to be the film maker's finest work. We talk about structure, pacing, stunt-driving and how to do a Jason Statham impression (start with the line, "You mean to tell me..."). Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the film on your DVD.
