As the end of 2024 approaches, Netflix are making it a sad goodbye to the year for fans of two Jason Statham action movies, as The Mechanic and Redemptionwill be dropped from the streamer on December 31 as their syndicated content shifts around for the new year. In short, get your fix now before it is too late.
The Mechanic, a remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson movie under the direction of Simon West, is a classic example of the brand of action Statham kills every time. In his first outing as near-perfect assassin Arthur Bishop, the Brit has to avenge the death of his mentor, keep himself alive, and teach his mentor’s son a few life-lessons along the way. You know, they usual. Meanwhile, Steven Knight’s directorial debut, Redemption (also known as Hummingbird), puts the actor in the role of ex-special forces soldier Joey Smith, who assumes the identity of...

The end of the year is not something to celebrate for Jason Statham fans, as Dec. 31 may be a rather unfortunate day for fans of the action movie actor who are subscribed to Netflix.
As per Netflix, Dec. 31 will mark the last day Statham's The Mechanic and Redemption are available to stream on the platform. Both movies are considered favorites for many fans of the actor. The Mechanic, released in 2011, served as a remake of the 1972 movie starring action genre legend Charles Bronson. Statham's version earned over $76 million at the box office upon release, and despite its initial mixed reviews, the movie has come to a place where it's fondly celebrated by fans as one of the action star's underrated films. It spawned a sequel in 2016's Mechanic: Resurrection, which was a box office hit with over $125 million earned, though

The fate of Gcb, one of our favorite new shows, will be decided in the next few weeks, and right now, there's a 50/50 chance it'll survive. If it does get canceled, at least it'll instantly become a member of what we'll call the Arrested Development/Freaks & Geeks/Firefly club. Shows that were canceled before their time, and have gained cult status since they left the airwaves.
All of those programs have rabid enthusiastic followers, and in the case of Firefly and Arrested Development, that fan enthusiasm has directly led to big screen resurrections.
We're hoping Gcb gets a renewal, but while we wait, let's take a look at a few other shows throughout the years that were unfairly snuffed out, and picture ... what might have been.

Watch Cyborg Free Online. Albert Pyun‘s Cyborg (1989) stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Deborah Richter, Vincent Klyn, Dayle Haddon, and Terrie Batson. Cyborg (1989)’s plot synopsis: a martial-arts science fiction film where Gibson Rickenbacker (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a gun for hire (Slingers), battles a group of murderous marauders (The Pirates) led by Fender Tremolo (Vincent Klyn) along the East coast of the United States in a post-apocalyptic future to rescue and protect a cyborg that holds the key to the salvation of humanity. “I like this World!!!!!!”
My favorite part of Cyborg is probably the sewer/chase/fight sequence. Great action. Cyborg didn’t do very well in theaters though.”The movie received a generally negative reception from critics however it did retained a cult status…Cyborg 2, starring Elias Koteas and Angelina Jolie, was released in 1993. Cyborg 3: The Recycler, a direct-to-video release, followed in 1995. Both films bear little to...
