It's often difficult to tell what's bad on purpose or just badly handled. The cargo shorts and fanny pack? Purposely funny. The slack pacing? Probably not.

ActionFest 2012 Announces More Explosive Titles: BAD ASS, AGGRESSION SCALE, LOST BLADESMAN, and More
Asheville, North Carolina should be bracing itself for serious damage to its collective cranium, as more titles were announced today for this year's edition of ActionFest, "the only international film festival devoted exclusively to action cinema and its unsung heroes." As previously reported, the festival will run from April 12-15, opening with Michael J. Bassett's Solomon Kane and closing with Peter Chan's Wu Xia.

Two Trailers and a Poster for BAD ASS Starring Danny Trejo
Two trailers and a poster have been released for Bad Ass starring Danny Trejo. The plot focuses an old guy (Trejo) who becomes an Internet sensation when he beats up a couple of thugs on a commuter bus. However, he goes on a rampage after his best friend is murdered and the cops don't do anything about it. That second part isn't mentioned in the either trailer. The trailers are simply: Danny Trejo is old and he kicks the shit out of people. I have no problem with that, and I doubt this will be another misdirect like Machete. As a character actor, Trejo has always carried the mantle of "Bad Ass" so it's only fitting that he should star in a movie with the same title. You would have to be a bad ass to wear a fanny pack and still come off as threatening. Hit the jump to check out the trailers and poster. The film also stars Charles S. Dutton and Ron Perlman. Bad Ass opens April 1 (Read More)

It wasn't a hoax after all! Back at the beginning of January we brought you the original trailer for Bad Ass , an indie actioner starring Danny Trejo, based on the infamous YouTube clip of "Epic Beard Man" delivering a beat-down on a bus. At the time, we were cautious about being taken in by a hoax. We took a poll. 29% of you were convinced it was a wind-up. The bus crash seemed very similar to one in Red Heat . Daily Grindhouse got hold of the director Craig Moss, and were none the wiser for having done so. But it turns out our suspicions were unfounded: here's a brand spanking new trailer for Bad Ass , which comes complete with confirmation of a US theatrical release on April 13 , and an R rating for head-kickery. If you're new here, the source of this nonsense is a YouTube video documenting an argument on an Oakland, California bus between the 67-year-old Thomas Bruso (Comment On This Video
