Only the Strong (1993)
Early on in his career, but not exactly at the start, this film is one that helped put Dacascos on the map. Yes, he had done other work, but for most action film fans, this capoeira film really shows his talent as an actor and a martial artist.

"Its been a long time since I killed anyone." Lionsgate has released an official trailer for One Night in Bangkok, a hit man action thriller set in the iconic Thai city. It's the latest film from Thai action director Wych Kaosayananda (aka Wych Kaos) and is getting a direct-to-dvd release at the end of the summer. It's described as "a homage to Collateral, with a shocking twist," and the story follows an assassin who hires a cab driver in Bangkok to unknowingly escort him to each of his targets - five hits in six hours. Will they pull it off? Mark Dacascos stars as the hit man, joined by Kane Kosugi, Vanida Golten, Prinya Intachai, Sahajak Boonthanakit, and Julie Condra. This looks pretty damn cool, not only as a Collateral homage but as a hit man getting revenge the only way he knows how - taking out the bad guys.

Welcome to the West, long after the frontier has closed. Allison Anders’ marvelous drama of a three-girl family is a big step for indie cinema, a highly entertaining examination of women’s aspirations and frustrations out on the non-glamorous working class fringe. Writer-director Anders wastes no time with a terrific cast — Brooke Adams, Ione Skye and Fairuza Balk’s family lacks a father, and ‘men who walk’ becomes the central issue in their lives. Filmed in a gloriously believable New Mexico desert.

The truth is out there, and two kids in the small midwestern town of Eerie, Indiana found it long before Mulder and Scully did.
It was The X-Files before The X-Files.
Well, sort of. When Twin Peaks suddenly vanished at the end of its controversial second and final season in 1991, it left in its wake a void shaped like a weird small town full of mysteries, and Northern Exposure wasn’t filling it. Someone had to step in and claim the mantle that Agent Cooper and the quirky townspeople had left somewhere at ABC.
Later that fall, someone did. Rival network NBC premiered a show about another tiny, unassuming town with a high population of gigantic and bizarre mysteries: Eerie, Indiana, the center of weirdness for the entire planet.
Unlike Twin Peaks, this was a squeaky-clean family show starring underage middle schoolers who definitely would not be...
