These type of movies must be cool for the other actors

these cheap DTV/STDVD starring the likes of Pacino or De Niro, or Stallone (or even Bruce Willis when he was doing them),

They get the chance to star in a movie alongside an acting legend who be just turning up for the money, probably reading their lines off a cue (a trick picked up from their late friend/hero Marlon) so will be goofing around onset talking Godfather, Scarface, etc stories to anyone who wants to hear them

Its still kind of mindblowing you get these A list legends like Al Pacino doing the DTV (steaming now) 'films' that likes of Van Damme, Dolph, Seagal etc started to do in the 90s/00s when they were finished in cinema movies, but I guess that was always on the cards when they got into 75+ bc proper movie roles not so frequent anymore and they still want to/got to earn their millions (and they get like a million a day for a few days work). Obviously it happened to Bruce Willis much earlier than expected
