After the jump, I have posted the trailer for Operation: Endgame, an action-spoof comedy about two teams of government spies out to destroy each other. Sure. The best part about Operation: Endgame, though, is that it stars, like, everybody. Here is the basic cast of Operation: Endgame:

Rob Corddry, Zach Galifianakis, Jeffrey Tambor, Adam Scott, Bob Odenkirk, Emilie De Ravin. Also: Maggie Q and Ving Rhames. Also that guy whose been in a ton of stuff but it’s not like I really know who he is (Tim Bagley).

Let’s put it this way, if Operation: Endgame was a team in an Olympic sport, I might actually be interested in watching the Olympics for once! Instead, though, Operation: Endgame is a movie that has been unceremoniously dumped onto DVD. Making it, sight unseen, the best straight-to-DVD movie of all time. That might not be saying much, but it looks pretty good, and besides, we take our accolades where we can in this world. Isn’t that right, Operation: Endgame.

Operation: Endgame trailer, you guys:

Sorry, The Land Before Time 4: Journey Through The Mists. You are now the Second Best Straight-to-DVD Movie Ever.

  1. Rob Corddry’s gun flask is cool.

  2. Ageism is the prejudice America just can’t get past.


    I guess I’ll just pop in this Doodlebops DVD again.

  3. Isn’t this just “The Cleaner” but with more Cedric the Entertainers?

  4. Woah. Needless to say, I have always considered straight-to-DVDs the excess fat of cinema and a means for something like “The Butterfly Effect 2″ and Mary Kate and Ashley movies to exist.

    Now they messing with us. This ain’t right.

    …and do we want to talk about how the link to Tim Baker directs to Tim Bagley’s page? Alright, Tim Bagley!
    This can’t be a mistake. Everything has a reason on this website.

  5. Sounds like SOMEBODY hasn’t seen Air Bud 18: 2 Fast 2 Fur-ious!

  6. Thanks for the tip, Gabe. I’m adding Operation: Endgame to the netflix cue and will watch this next month some time. You just sank my battleship (psyche)

  7. Straight to DVD? Who is making all the right decisions in Hollywood?!

    Could there be a more easily marketed film than one starring a post-hangover Galifianakis?

  8. AND Michael Hitchcock! He’s a real-life busy bee.

  9. Didn’t Wet Hot American Summer also go straight to DVD? If so, can we make it a tie?

  10. Executive #1: We can’t release this. Action-comedies always fail. Look at Ishtar.
    Executive #2: Ishtar was 25 years ago.
    Executive #1: So was Citizen Kane.
    Executive #2: You’re right. Let’s remake something serious. Red Dawn.

  11. I’m getting the feeling Maggie Q is really comfortable playing spies and assassins, you guys.

  12. Please address this

    Specifically the purpose of today’s front page.

  13. I just put that in my que above Cries and Whispers. Sorry Ingmar!

  14. Tim Bagley might have the best IMDB bio I’ve seen.
    “After college came a string of odd jobs: A butler at the Playboy Mansion, a Mitzi Gaynor dancer, a page at Paramount Studios, a reader at a court reporting college, and a phone service operator for two pimps named T-99 and Blueberry Muffin.”

  15. Fucking action comedies, how do they work?

  16. Sorry Gabe, but I think Idiocracy still holds that title, and based on the number of Brawndo jokes on Videogum I don’t think anyone disagrees.

  17. netflix added.

  18. For the record, this film was NOT straight to dvd. It had a limited release in theaters on July 16th 2010. It was released onto dvd 11 days later. Why? Because the movie kinda sucked. The action was boring. The actors werent very funny (except Rob Cordry in the beginning) Zack Galifiankis is given nothing to do. The plot is confusing and uninteresting. There’s this stupid political stuff going on. The film just isn’t very fun or funny or exciting or anything else that you would want from an action comedy.
    But hey when I saw the trailer, I thought it looked great
