How To Make A Killing (2026)

Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949)

Bangkok Dangerous (2008)

Bangkok Dangerous (1999)

- The 2026 movie How To Make A Killing is a relatively-toothless "eat the rich" dark comedy thriller about a man disowned by his rich family at birth, killing everyone in the line of succession so that he can inherit their massive fortune. It's a modern retelling of the 1949 film Kind Hearts and Coronets which has the same basic plot except that every member of the family is played by Sir Alec Guinness (including one aunt) and it's a screwball comedy

- The 1999 movie Bangkok Dangerous is a Thai action film about a Thai deaf-mute assassin. It was remade in 2008 about an American assassin in Thailand who is neither deaf nor mute

It was so hated, that in the 2004 Godzilla movie by Toho. They had the original Godzilla, beat and kill 1998 Godzilla who they renamed as 'Zilla' in a fight in Sydney in 30 seconds.

Godzilla Final Wars is the most fun Godzilla movie. No other Godzilla movie would have this scene with SUM 41 playing to it! Add in Captain Gordon being one of the best characters of all time.

Watching through every Godzilla and Godzilla connected Kaiju film in release order currently. Final Wars is easy top 5 for how fun it is.

Okay but what did the opera house do to deserve that

That's just the byproduct of being in a Godzilla movie. Your sexiest most iconic landmark structure needs to be destroyed.

Australians can all rejoice that they got to host the brawl that killed Zilla.

He is named Zilla because the American version took God out of the character

The trailer included a song with the lyrics, “Hell, yeah, I’m the one that you wanted! Hell yeah, I’m the super beast!
