I don't know if anyone saw it last night (July 22, 2010) but there was a magic, action guy moment on TV...
I make it a point not to miss Burn Notice on USA. You know, the burned spy story in Miami, Florida. Its just damn fun and everyone in it does a great job. Last night out of nowhere, Burt Reynolds was a guest. To appreciate the great moment I will describe, you have to watch these two short clips...

Burt shoots the unarmed Ruskie dead right in the heart! Sam and Weston order Reynolds to put down his gun. Burt doesn't. He looks at Weston and says very cool and calmly,
"Wha? You can't shoot a Russian who invades Miami, Florida?" Okay...ya' gotta' be there. Gotta' see it but it was a VERY cool moment in action guy film lore. And its not yet on YouTube!
Could be the last film Reynolds does. In the show he punched out bad guys, in a shootout, car chase, beats up a Congressman and kills a Ruskie agent.
Here's looken' at you Burt...
