High Risk (also known as Meltdown)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114437/
A 1995 Hong Kong action movie that claims to be a parody of Die Hard, but is more like a shameless rip-off wannabe, "starring" Jet Li.
Why this movie deserves riffing:
1) The dub is absolutely awful.
2) Many of the scenes make no sense or are laughably bad, such as the overuse of obvious mannequins during explosions, or the part where the villains trap a character in a bathroom and pull literal bags of snakes out of nowhere and throw them at her while laughing maniacally.
3) It's painfully obvious that the director made the movie as one big F U to Jackie Chan, who he previously worked with on City Hunter (a movie Jackie Chan disowned immediately after its release). The movie focuses far too much on mocking Jackie Chan while criminally under-using Jet Li.

Fun fact: The man who plays the Jackie Chan expy is named Jacky Cheung. Not well known across the world, but I sh!t you not, this man is crazy famous in Hong Kong. He's one of "The Four Heavenly Kings", who are Hong Kong's top male pop singers, along with Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau and Leon Lai. It's a weird bit of Trivia.
