Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Weenola I was channel switching on TV and then i noticed this movie. I think like most of the people have done to see this movie, seen it by accident. I don't believe you will rent this or even buy it from the budget case.I jumped in midways and i didn't had the idea i was missing something. I saw a man tossing a coin to distract some hostiles and later tossing his shoe to set up his master plan to knockout some bad guy's.So i red the info in the magazine, 2 soldiers need to secure a plane hijacked by terrorist but unfortunately one of the soldiers wife is held as a hostage.If you see those scenes and then read the info you know you should just turn of your TV or watch something else, but for some reason you just don't and you really want to know why and keep watching, hopefully it will become clear.And to be honest, the acting isn't really that bad. Michael Paré and Jean Michael Vincent are doing their best to make it worth the effort and is acceptable for a low budget mid 90ies B-Film.OK, there are some really stupid scenes in the movie which just don't make any sense, especially the RPG launcher in the hotel room scene is just hilarious, same as the voice acting and language by the terrorist is so extremely bad that it is fun to watch.Deadly heroes is a mediocre mid 90ies B movie and good for a few laughs. So you have a B movie which is mediocre from the mid 90ies and still good for a few laughs?Yes it is!And i think that is the reason why i kept watching, for some fun and a few laughs, but i agree that there are better movies for that!
Frank Markland Michael Pare and Jan-Michael Vincent star as two commandos who look to fight it out against middle eastern terrorists who have hi-jacked a bus as well as kidnapped Pare's wife in this highly unlikely tale. Someone wrote me to ask what makes a guilty pleasure different from a laughable bomb. I had never thought about it but it had to be that the movie was goofy yet competently made, where as a laughable bomb is just goofy. Deadly Heroes is a laughable bomb because the movie starts with hijackers taking over a bus with plastic guns (I'm serious) I'm not even going to go into what it takes to actually make something penetrate the skin and kill, mainly black powder and the pressure which is highly explosive. Indeed one can't think of worse thing to make out of plastic. The movie actually proceeds to get even dumber as Billy Drago surfaces as a the head honcho villain. Indeed it is weird but it is only Jan-Michael Vincent who seems suited to his part. Where as the rest of the cast (Even the usually respectable Michael Pare) are uniformly bad. Still this is hilarious to watch and somehow this clunker plays on TV every summer for some unfathomable reason.* out of 4-(Bad)
Movie Nuttball I thought that this movie here, Deadly Heroes was actually a decent movie. The casting was a different assembled one and how many movies does Billy Drago, Jan-Michael Vincent, and Michael Paré star in a film all together? Three unique actors all in one movie! Drago played a great and unusual psycho here in this movie which I think he is a great bad guy actor! Vincent played a good part and Paré was good as usual. Galit Giat who played the female baddie was really good. The action in the movie is good and the film starts off with a bang. It may seem like a different Delta Force movie since Billy Drago plays another and very similar psychotic drug lord but only this time his hair is shorter and a different color. I don't think that this film is bad at all and in fact I was quite interested through out the flick. Give this one a chance especially if you are a fan of the actors I mentioned above because I recommend it!
stamper You know those mid-eighties, cheap Chuck Norris rip - off films with a dull hero, a bad villain, a crapped on piece of paper for a script and an idiot who think it is good behind the camera? Well this is the mid-nineties version. All the actors, except those who play the really tiny parts and who die only to leave a track of ketchup on the wall, look and act like they've been pulled out of a crappy film to star in this even bigger load of crap. I mean there are A flicks, B flicks and even C flicks, but I truly believe the alphabet does not cover enough letters to give this film one. Even a Z would be too good a letter (plus I'd embarrass the Z). It sure as hell deserves a 0,2 out of 10, but since that cannot be done here those people are very, very, very lucky to get as much as: 1 out of 10
