Two classic Hollywood movies inspired Star Trek: Deep Space Nineseason 2, episode 13, "Armageddon Game", but few of those influences appear on-screen. "Armageddon Game" is widely regarded as the DS9 episode that establishes the friendship between Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney) and Dr. Julian Bashir (Alexander Siddig) as they end up on the run from the combined forces of the Kellerun and T'Lani. Facing death bonds the two Star Trek: DS9 characters for life, creating one of the franchise's most enduring friendships. However, Bashir and O'Brien's ordeal in "Armageddon Game" is a lot more contained than had been originally planned.

From Goldfinger to GoldenEye to The Man with the Golden Gun, the classics of the James Bond franchise rank among the most iconic action movies ever made. Once an actor has appeared in a Bond movie, either as 007 himself or as one of his villains or love interests, Hollywood views them as an action star and tends to cast them in other action-oriented roles.

Characterization and character development are usually the least of an action movie’s concerns. The focus is usually on explosions and car chases and quippy one-liners. But the action genre is home to some of cinema’s most beloved characters, from John McClane to John Connor, and their friendships with ing players like Al Powell and the T-800 make for some of cinema’s most endearing dynamics.

Robert De Niro is producing Midnight Run 2 with Regina Hall set to star. Midnight Run was released in 1988, starring De Niro opposite the late Charles Grodin. The film was a buddy-comedy directed by Martin Brest, who also helmed Beverly Hills Cop and Scent of a Woman, and written by George Gallo, who would go on to write the story for Bad Boys. The plot sees De Niro's bounty hunter, Jack Walsh, pursue a bail-jumping former mafia ant, Gordin's Jonathan Mardukas, while avoiding both the FBI and the mob.

Actor Charles Grodin, well known for his work in films like Beethoven and Midnight Run, has died at 86. Grodin got his start in Hollywood during the late 1950s, with his first credited appearance a 1958 episode of Decision. He worked primarily in TV for the next decade, guest-starring on several series and appearing as a regular on the daytime soap opera The Young Marrieds. In 1968, Grodin landed the role of Dr. C.C. Hill in Rosemary's Baby, a small part that led to bigger roles over the next several years, including the lead in 1972's The Heartbreak Kid.

From Lethal Weapon to Hot Fuzz, everyone loves a good “buddy cop” movie. It offers ample opportunities for action and humor — two things modern moviegoers love — and also provides a showcase for well-matched actors with terrific on-screen chemistry. But these stories don’t always necessarily revolve around two cops working on a case.

Robert De Niro is one of the finest actors of all time. He has been in some of the greatest and most popular films ever made, and he has been showered with acclaim and accolades - including seven Academy Award nominations (and two wins).

The crime genre had delivered some iconic movies in the 1970s, but it was ready for a change in the 1980s. Some filmmakers wanted to stick with the gritty feel of the '70s films while others wanted to embrace the more colorful new era. With action movies beginning to emerge as well, the genre had a distinctly new feel.

Few actors have reached the level of respect and acclaim in the film business as Robert De Niro. For the last several decades, De Niro has been a part of some of the best films ever made, from The Godfather Part II to Taxi Driver to Heat to The Irishman. He has one of the most impressive careers in Hollywood.
