About This Movie

So, 'That's Action' is this quirky little documentary from 1990, helmed by David A. Prior. It’s got Robert Culp, who really brings a certain charm as he introduces a mix of trailers and scenes from the Action International Pictures catalog. The pacing is a bit off-kilter—shifting between trailers and features with a kind of loose vibe that feels very much of its time. You get glimpses of low-budget practical effects and offbeat performances that are almost endearing in their earnestness. The whole film feels like a nostalgic dive into the world of B-movies, celebrating the absurdity and excitement of action flicks without taking itself too seriously. It’s not your typical documentary, that’s for sure.
