He's been making a lot of crappy films of late and all filmed on foreign soil. And now I think I know why they're on foreign soil. He's hiding from the US government who've just indicted him on several counts of fraud involving over 12 million dollars in false income tax refund claims. There was some scuttlebutt awhile back that Wesley was really into cocaine, and after all this latest stuff it's pretty believable. Too bad. He did do some good work in his early years before becoming an action star and the Blade triology.

He's been a nut for many years. I remember way back around the time he did Demolition Man, he was stopped by airport security for having a loaded hand gun in his carry on bag. I'm sure he has more than a few demons in his closet. -
It is sad because he is a pretty advanced martial artist in a few styles from what I understand. The last Blade movie was pretty bad. Snipes tried to sue the company who produced Blade 3 for underpromoting it, which led to poor ticket sales. I like the first 2 Blade movies.

Yeah, and it was after Blade 3 that he started making those foreign-based crappy movies. Well he better run cause he could get up to 16 years in prison if they catch him.Comment

I wasn't aware that he was making foreign movies, actually.

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

Not too bright. Only corporations get tax refunds when they are earning millions.
Guess he should have incorporated himself.

Wow, this is very disappointing news. I was wondering what had happen to him. It kind of reminds me of Eddie Murphy and his current film status.
Peace and blessings,

I'll clarify that a bit, Chris. The last few bombs he made were filmed in European countries, probably because of the tax breaks. I do believe these bombs went straight to video. And ol' Wesley is probably hiding out in one of those foreign countries.Originally posted by Chris DLast edited by Chris D; 13 November 2016, 16:03 Sunday.Comment

he may come forward when he gets just the right aliby in place. Here's a question, why would the govt give him the 12 million back anyway, looks like they would have seen through that.
What these flash in the pan stars forget is, very few of them have staying power. They all loose their lustre eventually. They never prepare for that day, they live like there is no tomorrow, and the sad reality is for them, there isn't a tomorrow in financial terms. It all comes crashing down.Doug

Speaking of noses...the govenment gets really mad when you tweak theirs...
Apparently,Mr Snipes allowed a tax protest organization/cult to be involved in his tax affairs.
I believe the IRS loves a challenge and to make an example of someone...the larger in statue,the better.
Blade could not have played this worse...
Just an aside...I was browsing the new movie section this afternoon,and came across...'Hard Luck',starring Wesley Pipes and Sybil Sheppard.
I think life may be about to imitate art...Comment

I did a post a few weeks back on another clunker starring Wesley Snipes entitled 7 SECONDS. It had the same producer ( Andrew Stevens) as this one. Both were filmed in some foreign country and both had so/so scripts. In both, Snipes walks through them like a zombie. The Marksman concerns a case of some... -
I agree with the comment that Snipes has "allegedly" lost his f'ing mind :lol: :crazy:

We heard that he was a bear on set.
He knew that they were transitioning from Blade to the supporting cast and he has sour grapes.... -
Blade II - A Review 05/05/2002
This is coming out a bit late, so it won't be as detailed as other, earlier reviews.
Let's be clear here. It's a movie made from a comic book character, okay? It's supposed to be over-the-top, and over-the-top it is in several... -
I just watched this movie for the first time ever.
Being that I was only 2 when this movie came out maybe you can understand why. A long time Harrison Ford fan (hes such a badass!) I was quite excited to see this one. Knowing "of" the movie for years, but not knowing what it... -
Pulled this off the shelf last night. I have a sizeable Hitchcock collection (my favourite director) and this was among the few I'd not seen yet. A great example of 30s style filmmaking (a 1940 release, but it fits the 30s quite well).
You can see a number of Hitchcock flairs and touches...
