The great Denzel Washington joined the Inside the NBA crew on Monday night to talk about his upcoming sequel to The Equalizer and chat about sports. Some of the highlights include him talking about watching the infamous Kevin McHale clothesline on Kurt Rambis in person, the Lakers' "rebuilding year," knowing when you are making a bad movie (something Shaq also knows a lot about), and doing a censored version of the famous King Kong speech from Training Day.
As funny as it was to hear Denzel bring back Alonzo Harris, it wasn't as funny as Denzel's voice over Robin Lopez getting ejected.
At the beginning of the Inside the NBA clip, Shaq said he's never seen a bad Denzel film. Washington admitted he's done a few, and here's my personal list of his "worst" films (post-St. Elsewhere).
- Virtuosity (probably Russell Crowe's worst film, too, and that's saying a lot!)
- Heart Condition
- The Bone Collector
- 2 Guns
Here's my top 4 most underrated Denzel films:
- Devil in a Blue Dress
- Ricochet
- Out of Time
- Unstoppable (his last collaboration with the late, great Tony Scott)
Just in case you care, here's LeBron's two favorite Denzel films
- Man On Fire
- He Got Game
