Has anyone else been so deeply affected by this movie that they laugh whenever they hear the name "Mason"?
Also, has anyone every played Urban Chaos: Riot Response for PS2? The main guy's name is Mason there, too, which makes the game about hree times more enjoyable...
I can't believe you said this as me and my mates used to take the pish out of each other by calling each other Mason when we were younger!!!
When playing Goldeneye on the N64, we would say
"I'm coming to get you Mason! Run Mason!"
Sad eh?!!!!
Just watching this on the movie channels, haven't seen it for years and had to come by the boards. One amazing line by Hauer in the last fight "NO MERCY MAAAAAASON!!"
God I love this movie.
My brother and I have been quoting this movie for years. the two biggest ones are actually both F. Murray's
"Let me get the door. Just let me get the door for you." You'd be surprised how often you can use that line.
also, when he's in the woods at night, right before Mason kills him, he runs out of bullets in his .45 then goes "god dammit. GOD DAMMIT!" in a hilarious way
Whoa-ho! I don't need drugs to enjoy this... just to enhance it!

This movie is a favorite amongst my friends and I in the sub-genre of "cheesy action films".
Notice how every villain in the movie goes ballistic at some point. Charles S. Dutton tackling Mason in the street and screaming "Well, I find that HARD TO BELIEVE!" when Mason says he doesn't care if he lives or dies.
Then when John C. McGinley goes nuts the morning of the hunt and screams and spits in Mason's face saying "I want you so bad, Mason!"
There are so many others that I can't name them all here but there's one last scene that's my favorite rewind moment of Surviving the Game...
The scene were Derek Wolfe, Jr. falls off the log and into the canyon. F. Murray Abraham lets out the most hilarious scream in cinema history. I rewind that part at least 6 times everytime I watch it.
My old roommate (and fellow cheese fanatic) and I decided that one of our friends was spending the night on our couch way too often. I woke up my roomie one morning and told him to follow me. We went downstairs (with my bb gun in tow) to find our friend passed out on the couch, again. The light was creeping through the miniblinds. It was the perfect setting. Then I said the following:
"Once upon a time there were six little hunters... Rise and SHINE, MASON!" and he woke up, saw the barrell and freaked out. I said "The game starts now. See, we're the hunters. You are the hunted..." My roomie said "If you make it to civilization, you live..."
I do have a fantasy about hunting a socially retarted friend of mine with paintball guns. Each of my friends would play a role. Despite the story I just told, I would be Burns (Hauer), my friend would be Cole (he's even short and stumpy like Dutton), and my former roomie would be Doc Hawkins.
"Here I come, Mason. I'm coming for you, Mason!"
"Mr. Mason!"
Long live "Surviving the Game"
What a movie, 5 pricks for the price of 1.
"The scene were Derek Wolfe, Jr. falls off the log and into the canyon. F. Murray Abraham lets out the most hilarious scream in cinema history. I rewind that part at least 6 times everytime I watch it."
LMAO!! This is hands down the best cheesy action film ever made. I first watched this with my older cousin back in the mid-90's when I was around 12 or 13. I enjoyed it so much I bought the DVD from the $5 bin at Wal-Mart a couple years ago. That story about waking up your friend saying "rise and shine" is probably the funniest thing I have read all year. Bravo.
Another great cheesy action flick favorite is: Lionheart (Jean Claude Van Damm)
Josh
You must be a kindred spirit, Josh.
I love "Lionheart!"
Remember the part at the end where Joshua (Van Damme's black buddy) decides to bet the money on Atilla instead?
"Lionheart, that dude's gonna kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Regarding the same friend who would continuously sleep on our couch and drink our booze... He and I often act out the dialogue from "The Karate Kid Part III"
I'll call him and say "Of course you want revenge, and I'm going to get it for you. This slope, what's his name, Miyagi? And that punk kid, I'm going to get them for what they did to you. They made you suffer, so I'm going to make them suffer... And suffer, and suffer... Then when I think they've suffered enough, then I'll start with the pain... It ain't over, we're Cobra Kai!"
If you get a chance, look up "Terry Silver and John Kreese" on You Tube as well as "Snake L.A.'s Bad boy"
This past Halloween, he dressed up like Johnny Lawrence of the Cobra Kai... He had a skin tight leotard and skeleton make-up. Awesome.
And my roomie, the guy who helped me with the BB gun thing... He had gotten divorced and his ex left the house in shambles... He had to deal with a real estate guy to get the house fixed up (who was also a friend) and the real estate guy asks "okay, is there anything else you need me to take care of?" and the roomie (in reference to the ex) says "yeah... Make her knuckles bleed..."
That's what Kreese tells Terry Silver in "The Karate Kid Part III" when Silver asks him if there's anything else he needs him to do (to Daniel and Miyagi).
Dude, have you ever seen "Lone Wolf McQuade"???
Great cheesy action.
Later!
