Alicia I love this movie so much
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
gavin6942 A martial artist hunts a killer in a plague-infested urban dump of the future.While this is exactly what I expect from a late-1980s science fiction action film with no budget, it is still very strange. The plot is sort of a mash of dystopian themes with vague references to "Blade Runner" and "Clockwork Orange" thrown in. Beyond that, it lacks a strong coherence.If you want to see a movie about kicking, punching and plenty of grunting, this is the movie for you. Because it is loaded with those things, especially coming from a bad guy who is dubbed with a very monstrous voice for no clear reason other than to increase the weird factor.
krycek19 From the horrible matte painting in the opening shot to the plastic knifes and the plastic chains to the ridiculous customes and the horrible lines and the so called acting, this has got to be one of the worst movies ever made.This is so amateurishly badly made that me and my friends could have made a more convincing movie with a video camera and no budget at all.How a movie like this could ever get a green-light and even be allowed to get a theatrical release is beyond me.My friend and I could'nt stop laughing at how bad this was.I recommend this to no one.
Kelchubordnor sorry I have to give this movie the max score because it is simply put one of my favourites of all time. It was the first DVD I bought when my parents bought me my first ever DVD player.Simply put world has been ravaged by a plague and the last remaining scientists commission a cyborg to journey to New York and retrieve data from a computer and then try to return it to Atlanta (no internet I guess??). Obviously Fender and his flesh pirates get in the way, although I confess I always wondered how Pearl Prophets bodyguard who is armed to the teeth, manages to lose his machine gun with grenade launcher. You don't see this used at any point by the way. Enter Mr Van Damme who plays a Slinger (mercenary for hire) and sets out on a personal vendetta to try and kill Fender. Now there are holes a plenty (van damme loses his sword very quickly, no reason really given). The pirates have guns that seem to fire a ball bearing of some type (as does he) but no gunpowder etc.What I love about this movie is that there are so many scenes that showcase Van Dammes kicking prowess, and the entire movie for the budget is actually quite well put together. Now bare in mind that the production crew had limited budget and this film made in excess of 10,000000 dollars on a 500,000 dollar budget. Not bad. This is one of the movies which actually got me interested in martial arts (now a journey) and is up there with IP Man 1 and 2 as well as Enter The Dragon. Albert Pyun directed this movie and he is a very talented guy who I think could make Avengers for a 1000 dollars.
Prismark10 This is probably the last true B film Jean Claude Van Damme made before he hit the big time for a brief period. However Albert Pyun is a true B movie director who has difficulty elevating any acting abilities of any of his actors.The positive aspects of this film is that the production values of this film is very high. The sets and the set dressing shows a lot of technical skill. For a post apocalypse set film there is a lot of outside location filming when these films are tend to be done on studio sets. There is also some good photography and a few decent action sequences.The downside is a poor plot, the bad guy is leaden with a horrid voice. We have JCVD doing some signature moves with his high kicks, even a splits scene but some woeful roundhouse kicks time after time very slowly, all people have to do is jump out of the way.The cyborg in question is a woman who is carrying information which she needs to take to Atlantic City as it holds a cure for a virus. This future did not have Wi-fi! Also this cyborg also did not have any kick ass moves programmed by a Series 800 Terminator robot.The film is only sporadically entertaining, lapses into silliness such as flashback sequences with Van Damme in a bad wig.
