Three O'Clock High (1987)
This movie deservs more than 7.1 on IMDb a Classic the best fight film of all time!
I love this film to death! Fist Fight (2017) it is a rehash copy of this film. Three O'Clock High is a fantastic classic I have ever seen!!! It is realistic and it wears a message in here. It is a kick-ass film. It has action, comedy romance ect. It deales with fear and life. Where are movies like are this today? We Fans want movies like this back!
It opens with a beatiful song in this movie with a high school kid Jerry Mitchell who accidentally angers new kid Buddy Revell who touched his arm. Buddy Revell hates to be touched so he chalenges Jerry to a real fist fight infront of school on a parking lot. Now Jerry try's to run. There is no escape. He try's to be arrested, does not happen. He steals the money and hires this school kid, to beat up Buddy, but that kid get's him self beaten up. Jerry trys to be friends with him even pay him to call the fight off. It does not happen, on the end Jerry goes trough hell back and forth which it leads to a final showdown.
Fantastic film. Fantastic song, fantastic actors like: Casey Siemaszko, Richard Tyson, John P. Ryan and Stacey Glick. I love this film to death one of the best comedy's ever of all time!
Scream (2022)
The worst horror movie of all time!!!!
I have just finish this film now and I am so disappointed!!!! This is the worst horror movie of all time!!! It is not scary enough. They copy the first movie. The lead character's name is Sam Carpenter as John Carpenter horror director. This movie is not scary enough it is a fake!!!!!
A lesbian is a killer in this movie, boyfriend is a killer and they both suck. Neve Campbell is useless on here, I hate her! She is barely in the film. Courtney Cox is awful wooden, She can't act. David Arquette is the only good decent character I like in the whole movie.
Who ever says Scr4am or Scream 4 is a bad sequel your wrong! Scream 4 is at least more serious and scary. Not only was Wes Craven's last movie but a damn good one!!!!!
Scream 4 kicks this movie to pieces. Emma Roberts was better actress and better character and her motives made sense. This movie made no sense! 2 characters from scream 4 are killed in this movie. Horrible soundtracks, horrible songs they put in this movie. Horrible sisters. Poorly paced, not scary enough film, horrible CGI it is not even real blood in this movie. I hate this movie!!! The worst horror movie ever!!!! And this sequel get's 6.6? That's too overrated does not deserve that kinda ratings.
The orginal Scream and Scream 4 to me are the best one because they are more scary and more serious.
Breaking Bad: Crawl Space (2011)
One of the best episodes of all four Seasons, that's how you do it!!
I am watching for the first time this show. And honestly this is how you do it. The Finale is bad-ass. This psycho Gus put a hit on a Walt and his brother in law Hank. Jesse betrayed Walt he is a traitor and now Walt a bad-ass he is, goes on a run and try's to disappear. He run's to Saul his lawyer for help in order to help him and his family to disappear and ask Saul to anonymous to warn DEA that the cartel is going after Hank. He runs home to get his money that he earned and he finds out that half of his money is missing and he laughs like Joker. He finds out from Skylar that she give his other half to Ted so that she saved her family so she and Walt want go to prison.
Finale is excellent this is awesome!!!! The music score in the finale is awesome! That's how you do it. Scott Winant awesome directed! Walter is a bad-ass in this episode. Jesse is a snake and I hate him so much! He betrayed his mentor who was like father to him. I hate him so much. I love Hank and Walter they are awesome. Season 4 is the best of all four seasons. I forgot this mafia boss finds out from Gus that his Mexican Drug cartel mafia family is dead, suit's him right. Amazing. I am going to watch the next episode now.
Breaking Bad: No Más (2010)
Season 3 starts with a bang and starts very strong.
After climatic explosive finale of Season 2, Season Three stars very strong. Bryan Cranston is a fantastic director and very great actor. I love Tv Show The Shield and like in my previos comment I love Michael Chiklis a lot in The Shield. He is great actor, but he is not a good director. Bryan Cranston is an awesome director and awesome actor. Since I finished The Shield I start watching Breaking Bad end of October.
Anna Gunn never heard about the actress, but watching her performance I would have married her right away. I am starting becoming a fan of her. Now the first two seasons I am not a fan. I have read and heard so great stuff about this show, like it is one of the best shows ever and I don't see it that way, I think it is overrated. In my opinion it is not the best one but it is a really good one. Best Tv shows I would say The Shield with Michael Chiklis, The X-Files, Prison Break, Smallville, Lost, Alias, Arrow and more shows I have enjoyed. Breaking Bad is a really good one.
Now the finale of Season 2 I still don't know how Anna Gunn figure it out in this episode that Walter is a drug dealer, is beyond me. Maybe they left clues in Season 2 finale, who knows maybe it will be explained later in the show. This is the first time me watching this show "Breaking Bad" so I don't know a lot. In this episode we found out that two planes crashed in the explosive finale Season 2 caused by this guy air traffic controller Donald Margolis (John de Lancie) because his daughter was killed over an overdose of heroin played by Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones).
I hope this Season will be a lot better than the first two seasons vere. Dean Norris from Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Total Recall is a bad-ass as DEA Agent Hank Schrader. I love the guy so much in this show. He is a good guy and a hero I love him in Season 2 he was a bad-ass in the first episode once again directed by Bryan Cranston. Episode 7 when a mine blow up and a FBI agent has been killed and three wounded one lost his leg. Hank helped them out. And Episode 8 when he was in shock and in trauma. Huge fan of Dean Norris great actor.
So that's my review on Breaking Dad Season 3 Episode 1 No Mas.
The Shield: Family Meeting (2008)
Fantastic Finale and Great conclusion: Season 7 is the best in the series in my opinion
I been watching now for 2 months "The Shield" tv series and today I just finished complete Season 7. I really wish we would got another season, but that's how this show end it. I saw this show on TV the first Season back in 2004 when I was in high school I watched the first 4 episodes. But I couldn't continue watching the show because the re run was very late at night 1:00 am in the morning's on tv when school started in September when Episode 5 aired so I couldn't continue watching this show. That time they were filming Season 3. I have been watching now and I love this show to death!
My favorite Season is definitely Season 7. I know a lot of people go for Season 5 I actually go for Season 7, because the ending was fantastic. One of the few shows that never had a bad Season. The Shield is better to me than The Sopranos. Vic Mackey is better to me than Tony Soprano. The Shield is a kick-ass show. Michael Chiklis is a bad-ass actor with balls, that's how you do and end the show! He was a producer and he directed a few Episodes. The Shield is better cop show than Letal Weapon! I couldn't even finish third season because, it was so bad and the guy who played Riggs not (Mel Gibson) was a complete moron.
"Family Meeting" has a strong ending. Vic been in ICE, get's full Immunity and get's a desk job for 3 years. Corrine left Vic and took his children. Ronnie get's arrested and Shane killed him self, his wife and his own son. I read that creator of this show Shawn Ryan took that idea from WCW wrestler Chris Benoit "a family tragedy.". I had no idea that Michael Jace who played Officer Julien Lowe really murdered his wife in May 20, 2014 and started On June 10, 2016, his 40 year sentence since that year he is in prison. Really a tragedy.
My favorite character was always Vic Mackey, he wasn't a psychopath like described by others. I disagree in my point of view he was a good guy he did some bad stuff. He try to save Ronnie, Lem and even Corrine on the end, but it backfired. He is not a super hero he is a human bein. Michael Chiklis best performance as Vic Mackey ever!!!!!!!!!! He was in movies like Fantastic Four and 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer. He also was in Gotham in few episodes. Season 2 also had Carl Weathers in this show. I love how this show respeact the actor. Carl Weathers is one of my favorite Actors I love him in Rocky 1 - 4, love him in Predator and his own TV Show: "Street Justice" which he played a cop in that show too. Michael Chiklis's own real daughter Autumn played Cassidy, Vic's older daughter. Cathy Cahlin Ryan played Corrine, Vic's wife she is Shawn's real wife.
Anyway fantastic Season, fantastic show unforgettable episodes including: "Parricide", "Party Line," and "Family Meeting." this episode. The reason why this season is to me my favorite Season, because it shows how Shane was taking care of his wife and his son, while they were on the run, that's how my dad take care of me and my mom when I was a kid.
My raking From The Shield all seasons goes: 1: Season 7, 2: Season 5, 3: Season 3, 4: Season 1, 5: Season 2, 6: Season 6 and 7: Season 4. Forest Whitaker as Lt. Jon Kavanaugh was a fantastic choise to cast him in as Internal Affairs cop in Season 5. That's one of the reasons Season 5 is consider by fans been the best season which I agree. Season 7 is not only strong, but this finale really made me in to my favorite season of all time.
My vote is 10 out of 10.
Wrong Turn VI (2014)
Horrible
This was horrible one of the worst slasher films I have ever seen!!! I hate Wrong Turn 3, 4 and 5, but at least they are fast paced, and they have gruessome killings this movie has nothing. But instead of those 3 films this is the worst Wrong Turn movie. This movie dosen't focusing on the hannibal brothers and Wrong Turn. It more focus on a family and dosen't deal that much with slashing people. It focus more on a porn and sex nudity scenes. It dosen't have any gore, or any rooting for the good guy. It looks like boring, lame drama. I barely make this trough this one. One of the worst slashers films I have ever seen.
This movie is so slooooooooooooww, boring it is not exciting you can't even root for noone in this movie. I hate this movie!!! The lead guy who play Danny is a duche bag I hate this guy and I hate the actor Anthony Ilott cause he was so awful. His worse performance ever. So now his cousin Sally is seducing him and on the end of the movie they have sex. They stole the name Sally from Sally Hardesty. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre one of my favorite characters a sole heroine. Why giving a killer a name from a heroine that I like?
Sadie Katz awful actress who play cousin Sally to Danny. This girl and guy having sex and those 3 hannibals hit the guy with a statue, then they rip a girl a part, the guy lives. Sally goes and screams on everyone she takes the guy. The guy is like druged and she goes and kills him with a pillow I was laughing on her.
Simply the worst Wrong Turn movie I have seen. It has nothing to do with Wong Turn except it wears the title "Wong Turn." Stay away from this movie is not worth of your time.
Wrong Turn (2003)
One of the best slahers ever and the best one in The "Wrong Turn" Franchise
One of my personal favorite horror films in a style of "Deliverance". I really wish I would have this film on Blu-ray, but sadly I don't have it, because it was never on my mind. Because over the years I watched the sequels they were so bad awfull that I stayed away from this franchise. I have not seen Part VI: The Last Resort cause Part 3, 4 and 5 were so god awful specially 4 that I couldn't eat anymore, it was so grussome. I hate the sequels. Wrong Turn the original should be a stand up alone movie not a franchise. There was no need for making a sequels.
I love this movie to death!!!! I love Eliza Dushku as Jesse Burlingame the main heroine and I love Desmond Harrington as Chris Flynn a bad ass hero. A remake come out this year and I will watch it soon. As for the movie it has no sex or nudity it is like "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween" boom of the slashers. I love the songs used in this film: Halloween by Dream Syndicate, You Can't Quit Me Baby by Queens of the Stone Age and Wish I May by Breaking Benjamin great songs.
The story talks about Chris Flynn (Desmond Harrington) driving cross country road in West Virgina on his way to a job interview. There is a chemical spill on the road, so being short on time, he decides to take a different route, an abandoned dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Unawhere he makes a wrong turn and accidently hits a car from 5 friends on a camping trip. Now they are all stranded in the road in the forrest in the middle of nowhere. So now group of friends all split. A couple stay back by their car while Chris and other 3 friends are going out on a tour to the road for help. Not knowing someone put a trap on them. Now Chris and his new friends become the target from a trio of cannibalistic mountain men horribly disfigured from years of in-breeding. They are the hunters and Chris and his friends are the prey and they are being hunted down one by one. It reminds me on an 80's slasher films like "Just Before Dawn" and "The Final Terror". This movie should be consider it a classic.
Great slasher and great story and great practical effects. A trooper get's an arrow in the head. One of the friends get's three arrows in the back while running away. There is a tree climbing which I love that. One of the cannibals get's hit by a branch in the head. Climatic finale in a cabin is a bad ass. I love the running chases trough the woods. Jesse is been tied with ropes by cannibals and Chris goes like bad ass he is in a rescue mission. He sets the cabin on fire. Drives a police truck trough the cabin in to a "One-Eye" fights him off and stabs him my absolutely favorite scene. Saves Jesse when she has a dog leash in her mouth. Jessie shoots "Saw-Tooth" in the back with an arrow another my favorite scene. Eliza Dushku with bow and arrow is much better shooter than Sheri Moon Zombie "3 From Hell" I hate that movie and I hate Sheri Moon Zombie she is a god awful actress!
Eliza Dushku's best performance she is an awesome heroine as Jesse Burlingame she was in Bring It On, Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Faith and Angel and in Tru Calling I miss the actress. Desmond Harrington is great as Chris his best performance. Julian Richings, Garry Robbins and Ted Clark are great as three cannibal hunter killers. I think Rob Schmidt did a great direction he directed this movie perfectly. Alan McElroy provided a great screenpley that deliver it. The direction by the director it has great vision and it is brilliant.
The effects are great delivered by Stan Winston R. I. P. You have gore, blood and a lot of slashing in this film. What else do you want? One of the best slashers of the early 2000's. 10/10 one of my favorite horror slasher films.
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Moore's favorite 007 Bond movie ever - Mano E Mano Bond vs Scaramanga
The Man With The Golden Gun is such an Epic movie in my opinion! I love this movie to death!!!!! This is the second movie that Roger Moore did and My favorite Roger Moore's movie as Bond. When it comes to Roger Moore as James Bond, most people praise "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "For Your Eyes Only." But I prefer The Man with the Golden Gun over The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only. I really enjoy this film I love that all effects are practical and done for real. The explosions, car chases, boat chases. Roger Moore does all his own stunts. I love Karate and martial arts fights in this film. I love mano e mano between Bond his Walther PPK gun and Scaramanga his (Golden Gun) on the finale on Scramanga's island. Mary Goodnight is sexy, hot and fiesty in this movie. I love that Roger Moore kicks one of the bad guy's in Hai Fat's karate school in the face and fights of Chula (Chan Yiu Lam).
Roger Moore with his enthusiasm and charm still did a great job playing his character. In the face of Energy Crisis 1973 Britain still did not fully recover from the crisis. So they made to face the Energy Crisis at that time. Bond 007 once again goes and kicks ass. Bond becomes a target of an assassin called Francisco Scaramanga played by actor Christopher Lee. So Christopher Lee and Ian Fleming were cousins in real life and Christopher Lee said that Francisco Scaramanga was his favorite role he ever played. I love this movie. I have a friend that he consider it, his favorite Roger Moore film and so do I. He said this is his favorite Roger Moore film. I have another co worker that told me that her friend visit the island Phuket Scaramanga Island but is now called James Bond Island. A Scaramanga Island in which Bond and Goodnight escape. I love Scaramanga's Golden gun.
007 is now the target of this known assassin and Scaramanga well know assassin holds A Solex editor unit in his hands. He has a high tech solar plant in possesion. He is planing to sold the plant to the higest binder. He uses Solex editor unit from the sun for his powerful laser weapon. MI6 gives a Bond a mission to get that Solex Editor Unit back, because this was the face energy of the energy crisis. Britain did not overcome the crisis. James Bond on a mission get's assasigned by Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland). The first lead brings him to Beirut later to Hong Kong and meets his contact in Hong Kong, Soon-Tek Oh as Lieutenant Hip. Soon-Tek Oh plays a good guy in this movie, he plays the bad guys in Missing in Action 2: The Beginning and Steel Justice with Martin Kove. Bond brings him to Tailand and to Hai Fat who is Scaramanga's contractor and boss. By the finale Bond brings him self to the island Phuket Phang Nga Bay, Thailand which is bad ass.
Director Guy Hamilton demended that Bond is more a tough guy like in the Ian Fleming novels so Bond had to twist Andrea Anders arm and Roger Moore hated that scene. Moore said that he could use his charm. The other scene Roger Moore hated was that scene in which Bond pushes a boy out of the boat. Roger Moore, Britt Ekland, Christopher Lee and Herve Villechaize did all great job. Actress Britt Ekland was terrified the explosions. That's one of the reasons why I love this movie to death and it is one of my favorite Bond films of all time. Because I love the island Phuket Phang Nga Bay, Thailand I love the explosions. Bond and Goodnight escape from the island that was done for real. Britt Ekland was only in bekini and Roger Moore grabed her while they were running away for their life from the exploding plant that wasn't acting that was real!!!!! They almost got killed Roger Moore felt Ekland's terrified skin and it was for real.
This movie deserves to be called one of the best Bond films it is in my top 10 Favorite Bond films and I consider it a classic that's just me. This is my favorite Roger Moore film, I baged my mom so she asked my aunt to tape me this film on VHS and my aunt did tape me this film and Live and Let Die. I forgot to meantion but I enjoyed the kickbox match in here. I love that it is the face of the energy cirisis and the final shots makes this film more realistic. Even the fights are realistic when Bond bleeds during the fight. Mary Goodnight is one of my favorite Bond girls. I love, love this movie incredible to death! It's shot with camera in a full widescreen presentation. Love this movie to death.
R. I. P. Roger Moore, Christopher Lee, Herve Villechaize, Soon-Tek Oh and Richard Loo.
CSI: NY: Near Death (2012)
Bad-ass Episode My Favorite
I don't know why MysteryRidah wrote this episode is cringe because I disagree. Huge fan of all three CSI shows. I actually think that CSI NY actually is my favorite show of the three. Mac Taylor is a bad-ass. You all forgot that actor Gary Sinise played the bad guy a corrupt police officer in Ransom (1996) with Mel Gibson. The reason why I love this episode is because the actress Kirsty Lee Allan who plays Teena Milford, (she is the one that shot Mac) is so hot and sexy babe. She is the reason to watch this episode. The final chase at night in the school buses parking lot is the best of the episode and it is my favorite scene of the episode.
The story still has problems, umm they should have done more with explanation like why was that pharmacy robbed by a boyfriend and girlfriend. Where they high on drugs. It wasn't explained. The best actor to me is Eddie Cahill as Don Flack, he is a bad-ass. He is the reason why I love watching this show. This was the first time I watched whole eight season completely. I saw years ago all seven seasons but never season 8 and 9 before and I loved it.
The near death scene in which Mac seeing him self could have been done much better executed. Like they did in Beverly Hills 90210 Episode 10 The Dreams of Dylan McKay and Street Justice Season 2 Episode 1 Death Warmed Over. The rest with the episode and flashbacks I don't have problems. Teena Milford is sexy she looks like Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton from T2) on a bus when she is shooting at Danny.
I give this episode 10 and no Sela Ward is not cringe, she is a good guy and a good actress. Season 8 is great. They still could return Vanessa Ferlito as Aiden Burn and Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes ), but that didn't happen, shame.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
The best one of all six films my favorite Mission: Impossible film
My number 1 favorite Mission: Impossible film and to me the best one ever in the franchise is Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation! For many reasons I love this film to death. Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust was excellent choice as a female lead cast. The movie felt realistic by time to time. The action sequences are very dangerous in this film. The airplane scenes in the beginning of the movie were dangerous. The car chases and the motorcycle chases was very dangerous the most dangerous stunts Tom Cruise ever did. Nice to see Alec Baldwin in this movie as a CIA Agent. He played Jack Ryan CIA Agent in a John McTiernan film The Hunt for Red October (1990). Great direction by Christopher McQuarrie he directed Jack Reacher his first movie with Tom Cruise which I like and this was his first Mission: Impossible movie he directed. Was nice to see Jeremy Renner as William Brendt from Ghost Protocole and of course Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell. Ethan Hunt been now a Rogue IMF Agent goes after a shadowy and deadly rogue organization called the Syndicate who framed him by and make him in to a wanted fugitive.
Eden Lake (2008)
A sad but gruesome horror flick it even has a message
Yesterday I watched this film and it was kinda sad horror film in which it wears a message. It means mind your own busines and leave the youth kids alone. This Young Couple Steve (Michael Fassbender) and Jenny (Kelly Reilly) drives to Lake Eden for a romantic weekend and they are harassed by gang of youth kids. Everything was fine until Steve compliant to those kids about their load music. Everything was fine until Steve killed Brett (Jack O'Connell) leader of the gang's dog Bonnie and that becomes a personal brutal vengeance to the gang.
I like the film it has a message everything would have been fine if Steve would have left the kids alone. He goes and kills Brett dog. Honestly I sympathize with Brett more than Steve. Cause I am dog lover and the film shows that Brett loved his dog. Everything would be fine, if Steve would mind his own buisnes, the couple wouldn't have any trouble in the first place. If someone would murdered my dog that I love so much, I would do the same as Brett taking my own justice.
That is why I am saying this film has a message leave the youth alone and you want have any trouble. I like Michael Fassbender in X-Men movies, but as a hero in a horror film he was terrible. The finale is not explained what happened to Jenny on the end was she beaten or raped? Except the finale this film is awsome. I like Finn Atkins as Paige would love to see her toplessness ha ha. But good acting performance from everyone. From the British horror films I still prefer Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) and Dog Soldiers (2002), but that's just me.
Kelly Reilly was great as anti-heroine, I like her.
As the film Lake Eden I like, just I am not fan they go and kill the dog. The dog was defending his owner Brett and his friends that was all. Good gruesome horror and sad film, which it has a message, I like it.
Arrow: Present Tense (2019)
Why this show is ending?
Why every show I like or love is ending. I love Arrow to death! I been watching this show for 5 years. It started in 2012 and I watch it over the summer in 2015. Been a fan of Smallville I been watching horrible actor Justin Hartley playing Green Arrow and he sucked! Stephen Amell is Oliver Queen / Green Arrow the only one noone can play the character that well like Amell did.
The episode is about a trust, parenthood and a better future. Mia is stubborn like her father and not trusting her father. The team Arrow is after Deathstroke. In 2040 the team is after JJ, John Diggle's son. But in this time 2019 Grant Wilson is Deathstroke son of Slade Wilson. This Season is more science fiction than superhero show but really Team Arrow reminds me on Marvel Avengers Assemble - The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) I love both of the films to death they are my favorite superhero movies of all time. Arrow is great DC show even Kelly Hu was in this show. Season 8 suprise me all over. Why all the great shows are ending that I love. 24 (2001) with Keifer Sutherland end it, I loved that show. Gotham ended (Have not seen Season 5 completely I am planing to see the final season.) Prison Break was my all time favorite show and it end but they renewed for Season 5 which was not need it and they ruined it. My point is great shows are ending. I don't miss Smallville because Season 10 was a disappointment to me. Arrow is great.
The Flash incredible sucks why CW does not end that horrible show? Flash sucks to death! I hate Iris Candice Patton and Grant Gustin who plays Flash is awful. They are both awful. Arrow is a great show I love it. we could got another season.
Arrow: Leap of Faith (2019)
Love this show
Would really love to find out where the filming locations for Nanda Parbat are. This episode of Season 8 is the best! I don't get it, why people hate this show. Yes episode 2 was overdramatic and slow paced I agree! But i like this show I like this episode. I have seen terrible episodes but Leap of Faith was decent good episode.
Directed by sexy babe Katie Cassidy great direction from the actress. Great performance from Stephen Amell, Katherine McNamara, Ben Lewis, Willa Holland and Lexa Doig that sexy hot babe.
After years I finally saw Willa Holland back in the show as Thea Queen / Speedy. The last time I really saw her she was in Season 6. In Season 7 she only had a cameo scene and she disappeared that was it. The filming locations in the woods for Nanda Parbat was great excellent. It meantions Indiana Jones and really this film is more dedication to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) one of my personal favorite adventure movies of all time. I love Leap of Faith can't wait for next episode.
Arrow: Lost Canary (2019)
Girls night out
Of all the CW superhero shows I only watch Supergirl and Arrow! I hate The Flash because it is more a family drama show than superhero show. "Lost Canary" is about Laurel Lance / Black Siren's redemption. After Laurel was acussed of a murder she went on a dark side and team up with Shadow Thief (Carmel Amit) to commit crimes. So Felicity Smoak (sexy Emily Bett Rickards) calls Sara Lance / White Siren (Caity Lotz) for help to get Laurel back.
I love Arrow I love this show to death! Great performance by Katie Cassidy huge fan of her. I love the actress to death. Great performance by Caity Lotz those two actresses are the best in the whole show. Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity is sexy as always. I love girls, those three actresses are great.
To bad it is a shame this show ended this year after my dad's birthday 28th January. I have not seen the final season yet. I only finished the first six seasons in 2018. I am finishing now Season 7 I have not seen whole Season 7. Stephen Amell is great as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow. Lost Canary is a good episode and Katie Cassidy is sexy babe as always. I thought Season 7 will suck because Oliver wasn't the hood like he was in the first 3 seasons, but this episode surprised me and this season keeps surprising me.
Exit Wounds (2001)
The best police corruption thriller Seagal's best action movie riding with DMX and Bartkowiak
Exit Wounds (2001) is one of my personal favorite Seagal movies. His best action movie with DMX and director Andrzej Bartkowiak. Seagal's last good decent action movie. I don't know which is my favorite from Steven Seagal Above the Law (1988), Marked for Death (1990) or this one Exit Wounds cause they are my top three favorite Seagal movies he did. In my opinion Exit Wounds is underrated action flick Seagal ever did. I love this movie to death I love it. This movie was a hit, it made a $50,000,000. Joel Silver produced this film, decent budget film it went in to teather. This was Seagal's back to the widescreen. I saw the trailer for this movie on VHS when the movie was released. Steven seagal played Detective Orin Boyd who fights againts his police colleague and the corruption.
This was Andrzej Bartkowiak second film he directed after Romeo Must Die (2000) with Jet Li, Aaliyah, Russell Wong and Isaiah Washington who returned to this film. Anthony Anderson and DMX all returen to make this film. Bartkowiak's third film was Cradle 2 the Grave (2003) and yes I love all his three movies Bartkowiak directed. Cradle 2 the Grave would be my number 1 favorite Bartkowiak movie, than would be Exit Wounds and Romeo Must Die that would be the last one to me. I would say all three are underrated action flicks does not deserve crap. Watch Seagal's nowday movies he is doing and compare with this film, it is MILES way better than his Direct-to-video flicks. Exit Wounds is my personal favorite film since first time I saw it. I enjoy it everytime I watch it. It has great action, good story, great soundtracks, good likeable cast. In 2001 movies were hit nowdays suck!!!
Steven Seagal is decent in this film, he does a good performance as the hero lead. Excellent fight scens great choreography. My favorite scene in the movie is when Seagal walks out of an anger management class and these guys are carjacking his car, he walkes to them and says What am I, a s*** magnet? Than he says "Junior, having a tough time? Look, you got to get in and out quick. I'm an expert at this. I could do that in a blink of an eye." Punk responds: Well why don't you show us? Orin clicks his keychain unlock button. Than these punks messing with him and he kicked his asses great fight scenes. I know Seagal is on a wire but damn I love when Seagal breaks these guys arms and fingers and moves so fast. That's my personal favorite scene in the film. I love when Orin saves Vice President and kills all militants dressed as traffic cops. When Seagal and his partner George Clark (Isaiah Washington) are in the night club Static chasing T. K. Johnson (Anthony Anderson) and Latrell Walker (DMX) 2 sumo bodyguards are messing with Seagal and he uses chains beats the crap of sumo bodyguard bad-ass scene!!! That is my personal favorite scene in the film. Steven Seagal does not make movies like this today. He is still in shape in her and thin not fat, the movie it has ton's of action pieces and shootouts. This is a bad-ass movie, it is Rated- R for strong violence, language and some sexuality/nudity.
Steven Seagal plays decorated detective veteran Orin Boyd in Detroit Police 21st precinct. After he desboyed orders and he throws Vice President of the bridge in the water saving his life, he get's kicked out of his 21st precinct to 15th - Detroit's worst precinct. a punishment for his stunt. Serving as a traffic cop becuse he is a loner in an inner-city in his new precinct Orin discovers a web of dirty cops and corruption. Orin Boyd is after Latrell Walker and T.K Johnson so he goes in dowtown Piper Tech to findout if Latrell Walker has any criminal record he stumbles upon the theft of $5,000,000 worth of heroin from evidence storage and he gets in a crossfire when he saves hostages. When Boyd keeps investigating he finds out that Piper Tech was hit by cops the same cops who are trying to kill him but Orin Boyd is a tough bad-ass cop.
DMX plays Latrell Walker aka Leon Rollins who goes undercover as a drug buyer from the west coast against dirty cops who framed his young brother Shaun Rollins (Drag-On) on a drug bust and he is serving time in maximum prison for a crime he did not do. DMX is awesome as Latrell Walker he is a bad-ass. I love his song for this movie No Sunshine that's my favorite song in the whole movie. He made the song only for this movie.
Tom Arnold plays decent as Henry Wayne a tv show host who is from anger management class who helps Boyd on his investigation against Latrell Walker. Jill Hennessy is Annette Mulcahy captain of 15th precinct and boss to Seagal and she did a fine job I like her. Anthony Anderson as T. K. Johnson was funny, decent and I like him. He was better in Cradle 2 the Grave but I like him in here too.
Negatives about this film: This movie is introduced us to fast camera moving Seagal, his stunt double doing all the quick kick's and jump style martial arts. I don't like when Seagal drives a motorcycle in a car chase pursuit and you can see the camera shifts his face and it shows that is not Seagal driving a motorcycle, it is his stunt double riding a bike instead Seagal! I don't like the theme played during the motorcycle showing Seagal's stuntman. That was the worst mistake they did for Seagal. I don't think Seagal should have used stunt doubles, he should have done stunts all by him self. If you watch closely Above the Law, Out for Justice, Hard to Kill, Under Siege 1 and 2 in those movies I do not see any stunt doubles, in this movie stunt doubles are doing stunts for Seagal that should not be in this movie. Tom Arnold said they they were shooting on a house boat in the Toronto lake and they rehearse the scens, he walked out of the door and it is not the right door and he steps and drops in to the ocean ha ha and he painted his black color on his head embarrassed so no one would find out that his hair cut is messed up ha ha. Seagal was clumsy and funny.
Exit Wounds (2001) is a bad-ass non stop action movie, last Seagal's decent action movie he did. It is one of my personal favorite Seagal action flicks. No Sunshine by DMX as performer is the best song of the whole movie and it is DMX best single in my opinion. I love this movie to death.
Paycheck (2003)
Underrated decent, good awesome sci-fi futuristic action thriller my fourth personal favorite John Woo film
This is the most underrated and hated sci-fi futuristic action thriller from Hong Kong action master director John Woo. This is my fourth favorite John Woo movie and the last movie John Woo directed in USA. It is my favorite Ben Affleck movie that he ever did. Paycheck is underrated, good, decent awesome sci-fi futuristic action flick. Yes I love this film to death! For John Woo I only watch 4 of his movies and they are my favorite action films and they are just my movies that John Woo directed. Hard Target (1993), Hard Boiled (1992), Broken Arrow (1996) and this one Paycheck those rae the only ones I watch. I don't like his other movies like Face/Off (1997), A Better Tomorrow 1 and 2, The Killer, Mission: Impossible II, Windtalkers, Red Cliff 1 and 2 I just don't like those movies some of them I do have in my Blu-ray collection.
I know and I understand why people hate this film, why this film is people's not favorite from John Woo. Because it is rated PG-13, it has less shout outs, it is not bloody and it does not have a lot of body's and blood. Even with rating PG-13 this movie it is still solid and good. It still has action Ben Affleck is still in his best shape. He does a good fine job as the hero. Uma Thurman is sexy, gorgeous and likable. Right after Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003) she went and make this movie, after this movie she made Kill Bill Vol 2 (2004). Aaron Eckhart from The Dark Knight and The Expatriate aka Erased (2012) is in this movie and he does a great terrific job as the villain. We have Joe Morton from Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) my favorite film and Michael C. Hall from Dexter (2012). To me it is an excellent cast.
John Woo directed perfectly this film I have no problems with this film. So what if it is not tons of blood and action from John Woo I enjoy it. Most of the people does not get this film. It is based on the short story by science fiction writer Philip K. Dick the same autor wrote a short story that later made the film Total Recall (1990) with Schwarzenegger in the lead. This movie does not have Schwarzenegger in here, but Ben Affleck took over. This movie is about a time machine in which you re write your future.
Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck) is a brilliant computer engineer hierd for top-secret projects. After each job , Jennings short term memory is erased so he cannot recount any project information. Emerging from his latest assignment , a three year contract with an eight-figure paycheck given to him by his longtime high school class mate (Aaron Eckhart). Jennings is jolted when he is told that during the end of his assignment, he agreed to forfeit all payment. Jennings has no resource until he recives a mysterious envelope containing clues to his forgoten past. With the help of a beautiful scientist (Uma Thurman) he once loved but now cannot remember. Jennings races to solve the puzzle while a terrifying discovery waits on his future.
This movie has everything: sci-fi, mystery, action on MacGyver way. Jennings builds a time machine in which you can re write your future. Jennings memorie is erased and with help of 19 objects in envelope Jennings is hunted by FBI and mercenaries from the man that hired him to build the time machine. There is a lot of martial arts and fight scenes. Affleck uses his martial arts on the bad guys in self defence in the mall. You have great his speed car chases.
My personal favorite scene is Motorcycle that helps the main characters Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck) and Dr. Rachel Porter (Uma Thurman), to escape from the car chase. Afllect and Turman ride excellent Motorcycle while mercenaries are trying to kill them with their cars, You have a killer shooting from his car on Rachel with his gun. I love the second act in which Jennings escapes with help of envelope subjects and is on the run from a killer squad and FBI wanted for a terrorism. This movie still has some action sequences on a John Woo action style. John Woo did a different turn and he got crap for it. I understand people hate this film, I don't I love this film to death!!! It is better than nowdays crap movies. I don't care if it is CGI in here, the effects work perfectly.
This is my favorite science fiction futuristic film with RoboCop, Demolition Man, Aliens and The Road Warrior it is up there with those classic movies. I enjoy this movie MILES way more than Minority Report and yes I saw that movie in movie teather with my class in 2002 and no it was not a movie I liked. This movie I enjoy and I love. I never read short story from Philip K. Dick, but the film is great in my opinion. Uma Thurman is sexy as Rachel plant biologist she is a kick-ass biologist.
You still have explosions, even tough Jennings almost dosen't kill anyone, you still see a lot of handguns and automatic guns. Jennings still uses his brain by defeating the bad guys, by using MacGyver methodes, by not killing anyone. I enjoy Music by John Powell I thought it was solid done music score tune.
Paycheck is my personal favorite film from John Woo and Ben Affleck. I only watch Hard Target, Hard Boiled, Broken Arrow and this movie Paycheck for John Woo. For Ben Affleck I enjoy: Reindeer Games, The Sum of All Fears, Daredevil and this one Paycheck. Those are the only films from Ben Aflleck I watch, own in my Blu-ray colelction , love and enjoy. I never saw Argo I don't own the film and I have no interest watching it. I hate Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League because Ben Affleck is no Bruce Wayne/Batman he does not act like Cape Crusader we saw in animated series and Christopher Nolan trilogy. Ben Affleck is the best as the lead hero Michael Jennings.
There is alot of female lead in John Woo movies. In Hard Target we did had Yancy Butler in Hard Boiled was Teresa Mo in Broken Arrow was Samantha Mathis the main lead in here the main lead is Uma Thurman her great performance. The movie it still filed with action, mystery and sci-fi so I enjoy it and I love this film to death. John Woo's most undarreted movie of all time.
Alien (1979)
One of the most frightening horror masterpieces ever made of all time!
Alien (1979) is a masterclass of terror it is my favorite Sci-Fi horror movie of all time a real classic. A film so terrifying and yet so beautifully done that it demands to be viewed over and over again. The characters are grounded and feel real, the sets are breathtaking (even today), the film feels natural and plausible. But the main reasons to watch the film are for two things: The Alien and the atmosphere. Both make this film, the entire film is full of dread and when one of the most interesting and violating creatures shows up on screen; it is riveting.
I can still remember when I first saw Alien back in 1997 as a 13 year old kid, It's scared me back then and still holds up today as one of the best horror films of all time. The direction by Ridley Scott is first rate and the sets and atmopshere are creepy and claustrophobic. The "chestburster" scene is brilliant and very effective. Also gotta give a shout out to H.R. Giger who designed those amazing Alien creatures. A must own for any sci-fi or horror fan!!
Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley is gorgeous and one of my favorite heroine survivors. The ship for Nostramu is great. The effects and desigen for the creature is wonderful great it is a masterpiece fuly done. this is my favorite horror sci-film to me. One of the most frightening horror masterpieces ever made.
I love the characters: Captain Dallas, Ripley, Lambert, Brett, Kane, Ash and Parker. I love the Alien design the costume. Bolaji Badejo as the Alien was great it is really a tragedy and sad because 2 great actors died like Bolaji Badejo and Kevin Peter Hall they both died in the 90's and they both played monster creatures so well. Hall was Predator and Badejo was the Alien they deserve both actors respect and they are missed R.I.P. This was Badejo's only role I wish he would get more movie roles. I miss these actors so much. Veronica Cartwright was great as Lambert I really love her she was sexy. Yaphet Kotto was a bad-ass as Parker. Great practical effect when Parker burn with flamethrower As's remains. That is my favorite scene. Tom Skerritt as Captain Dallas was great and wonderful, his best performance on screen I have ever seen.
The movie is master sci-fi classic masterpiece with a horror elements. My problem is the first hour is boring when the crew goes on the desolate planet and they find that empty ship whith a lot of eggs. One of the crew members gets infected and Ripley does not leave the crew inside the ship but Ash opens the gate and lets them in, he does not obey his superior Ripley. By the end we find out that Ash knew what is going on and he was admiring the purity if the Alien. I love the finale and I love the cat Jones, the cat was really trained. The second hour goes fast around and I was more interested in the second hour. It had horror and survival elements I love that.
On their voyage home, the crew of the deepspace tug Nostromo investigate a transmission from a desolate planet and discover a mysterious lifeform.
Alien (1979) is my favorite horror film, Aliens (1986) is my number 1 favorite horror so I put Aliens (1986) above Alien (1979). To me they are both masterpeices to me. The Nostromo ship is great designed, today the CGI effects are fake, the effects in 1979 were great and excellent.
A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
Garbage! I hate this movie!!!
I don't have this goddamn movie in my collection, I don't have it on VHS, Blu-Ray disc or DVD! I wanted to buy this film from someone on Blu-ray disc, but the seller never responded me back so I did not got it. He responded a weak later with an apology, but I wasn't interested in buying this movie anymore. I have all four films on Blu-ray disc. Die Hard 3 I have also on DVD, I have a poster about the original Die Hard (1988)! This movie I disown I pretend this movie does not exist. It is so awful horrible bland film, I can't stand it!
This is not a Die Hard movie! I don't know what the heck this is but is not a Die Hard movie! I love all 4 Die Hard films this I don't have! I am a Die Hard fan, but I am not a fan of this movie!!! It was not need it, it was cash grab! They are 2 cuts of this film the theatrical cut is so awful that I could not finish the movie. In the opening scene and the finale we see Lucy Gennaro McClane (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) the actress returnd. In the extended cut Lucy Gennaro McClane was cut from this film. I think director John Moore made a mistake or he regret it to put the actress in the film.
Bruce Willis is bald he is not John McClane, he is not the action hero I remember. There is no forgivenes for this movie happening! This movie is more about his son (Jai Courtney) Jack McClane which sucks!
This movie is CGI bland, action sucks!!! This movie sucks the biggest peace a s*** garbage I have ever saw!!!! Bruce Willis grow a hair and start acting like a John McClane. I don't want another Die Hard movie. Live Free or Die Hard movie ended well the franchise. This movie needs to be destroyed and belongs in to the dumpster in the trash with all the rest of garbages. This movie I have not seen in six years since it come out and after that I have not seen this film at all. Btw I couldn't finish the theatrical cut cause it was so horrible made that I quit watching it in the middle of the film. I saw the extended cut, I will never again watch it! Still this movie sucks awful horrible! I hate it! I hate this movie! I hate it!!! I hate it!!!
Where was John McClane we remember in this movie? Well he wasn't!!! A Good Day to Die Hard sucks HARD!!! A better title would A Good Day to Destroy the Franchise or A Good Day to suck HARD!!! They would be much better titles! I never want to see this movie in my intier life ever again!!!!
I am A Nightmare on Elm Street fan I have all the movie son Blu-ray and on DVD even the remake I hate it but I end it likeing it. I have poster of Nightmare on Elm Street 1, 3 and 6 and yes Freddy's Dead is my at least favorite film, but I am still going to watch it. This movie I don't own and I don't want too.
Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
The greatest best action 90's film of all time a masterpice the third sequel my personal number 1 favorite action flick!
One of my personal favorite 90's action films of all time! Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) is a masterpiece a true third sequel to Die Hard (1988). Bruce Willis and John McTiernan reuinited. John McTiernan directed this masterpiece perfect. John McTiernan and Jonathan Hensleigh ignored Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990) and focus on a different story not by novel and a true sequel to the original "Die Hard" film. I love this film to death! It is my film, it is my favorite action film. It is my number 1 favorite action film of all time.
Just like first Die Hard I love this movie to Death! I have DVD, Blu-ray disc and VHS about this movie. My aunt taped me the VHS 10 years ago and I am greatful to have this movie in widescreen and I have the DVD. I have the film on Blu-ray disc. Been fan of both of the films for almost 15 years and I still love them both to death. I love the music, the action, the story, John McClane, the qoutes, I love everything about this movie.
I deply enjoy both of the films the original and this one. Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995) is the third film in the popular Die Hard franchise, which re teamed Bruce Willis with John McTiernan, the director of the first film. It is my number 1 favorite Die Hard film in the franchise with the original they are both equal to me. It feel's fast paced, more realistic and more action movie to me. This is a Die hard film and it is in my top 15 favorite action films of all time! Simon Gruber and his sex babe Katya are great couple on screen who are messing with McClane, I love that. Why can't we get villians like that nowdays? John McTiernan directed masterpiecful both of the movies. John McTiernan is really missed nowdays he directed really great flicks. (Predator, The Hunt for Red October, The 13th Warrior and The Thomas Crown Affair yes I liked that film, because of Rene Russo at the time she was my crush and she was one hot sexy babe.)
With a more worthwhile script, the addition of Samuel L. Jackson as a good samaritan with attitude, and all of New York City is blowing up as McClane and Carver are playing ground for a game of "Simon Says", we have a more efficient ass-kicking Die Hard from the director of the original classic. Tons of action, our heroes trough inter first half of the film are solving a puzzle of a riddle to find a code for the deactiviting a bomb that is actually somewhere hidden in a school. McClane and Carver must solve the riddle on specific time or the school blows up. Police officers and firemans are searching for the bomb in the city, around thousand buildings in New York City. While Simon who is actually a former National People's Army colonel turned terrorist a mastermind is ploting a heist, revenge is only a decoy. Vengeance also links Die Hard 1 with the Simon character as Hans Grubers brother which adds to the irritation of McClaines duty. At first it seens that Simon has a score to settle with Detective McClane, but it was actually a heist a $140 billion dollars worth of gold bullion from the Federal Reserve Bank.
I love this film to death, the music score from Michael Kamen is great again. This is the third movie in the "Die Hard" franchise the budget for this movie was $90 million which cost more expensive than the first two movies did. The movie has tons of action scens that I love: That raising taxi ride through Central Park was a bad-ass. I love McClane and Carver running trought the streets and you can see World Trade Center the Twin Towers that was before 9/11 attacks. This is the last action film I saw that was filmed entirely in New York City. After 9/11 I think action films were forbidden filming in New York City I love the Twin Towers in this movie. I love McClane fires his Beretta 92FS during the car chase killing bad guys in a car pursuing him and Carver. I love how we found out that McClane, Targo and Carver were all double crossed by Simon and Katya. I love that McClane does not kill Targo in this movie. I love the finale in which McClane, armed only with a small revolver, shoots an overhead power line that falls onto the helicopter, crashing and kills the bad guys, it is practical well done effect. Love his one line "Yippie-Kai-Yay Mother*****." I love when McClane and Carver are climbing on a tanker by wire trough the car 1994 Chevrolet C/K-Series holding the line, and the car crashes over the bridge and they both fly I love that scene. I love the fight between Targo and McClane on a tanker. I love exploding train on a trail road, McClane jumps on a train and he looks for a bomb. McClane saves all those passengers on a train, he throws the bomb out of the train. I love the facts that they are saving kids from the school and the bomb was a fake and a decoy. The tanker scene where McClane and Carver are handcudffs togethe McClane saves both of them. You see exploding tanker excellent practical FX effect they are done for real.
For 1995 action film it is a masterpiece sequel to me. Bruce Willis best performance I have ever seen. Die Hard, Die Hard: With a Vengeance and The Last Boy Scout were the movies that I kept watching for Bruce Willis. Samuel L. Jackson was a good heart human being. He try to prevent a disater in Harlem and I love that he try to save a white men from a massacre I love that in this film. Jeremy Irons is a bad-ass as Simon Gruber (Hans older brother) I love Irons in this film. Sam Phillips is a babe as Katya terrorist mute but sexy deadly girlfriend of Simon. Larry Bryggman as NYPD Inspector Walter Cobb is great boss to McClane. Larry Bryggman did a really good job playing his character well. Colleen Camp as NYPD Detective Connie Kowalski looked like my mom in 1995. I was 11 years old this movie come out. Colleen Camp was great I love her so much I miss the actress. Nick Wyman as Mathias Targo is excellent he is great I love him. Kevin Chamberlin as Charles Weiss a bomb expert was great I love his character. I love the cast everyone does a great job in this movie.
I love the action the opening sequence you see the cars. I love the soundtracks Summer in the City by The Lovin' Spoonful and When Johnny Comes Marching Home by (loosely based on Johannes Brahms' "Symphony No.1, 1st Movement"). Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) is my number 1 personal favorite action film of all time I love everything about this movie. I love Die Hard (1988) and this movie and Live Free or Die Hard to death! Vengeance is better than Die Hard 2: Die Harder or A Good Day to Die Hard!! Those aren't Die Hard movies to me. I don't care what anyone says this is my opinion! I love Die Hard 3 to death I love it, It is Rated R and it is bloody and I miss movies nowdays like this. Why can't we get action movies like this nowdays? They don't blow buildings and anything nowdays anymore. Classic masterpiece for action fans! Belongs with Hard Boiled, Hard Target, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, cliffhanger, Predator 2 and Demolition Man one of the greatest 90's action films of all time! :P.
Die Hard 2 (1990)
Die Harder is a solid good fun action 90's movie from Renny Harlin
It is going to be hard reviewing this film, I have mix feelings about this film. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I like it, sometimes I dislike it. I love Die Hard (1988) to death, I love Die Hard: With a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard they are my favorite action films of all time. Die Hard 2: Die Harder is my fourth favorite film in the Die Hard franchise series the problem with this film is the pacing, it is slow, it goes so slow aroud. The reality about this film, it is not realistic it is a Hollywood film. This movie has a lot of problems, a lot of flawes. It is not my favorite action film, but it still feels like a Die Hard film.
Directed was by Renny Harlin who directed (Cliffhanger (1993) and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Drem Master (1988).) written was by Steven E. deSouza and Doug Richardson who wrote an excellent script and the story it is based on a novel 58 Minutes by Walter Wager and stars Bruce Willis as John McClane he reprises his role.
Die Hard 2: Die Harder is a good sequel, a good action movie of the 90's it is a good sequel just it is not even close good as the first 80's action film Die Hard (1988). Which is my personal favorite action film of all time. Die Hard is a pefect 80's aciton film of all time. This movie was budget $70 million it cost even more money than the first movie did. Just the film has so manny problems like cheesy one liners. The characters I just don't like some of them. The first movie was more robbers in this movie they were more terrorists.
The problem was the film come slow to me, the airport scene: if the airport shutsdown or when controller says god luck and god bless you need to go to another airport. Dulles International Airport if there would be emergency if the air field would be taken over, they are other near airports like Baltimore which is near airport to Dulles International, Philadelphia airport they are always back up airports. The last fight scene on a cargo Boeing 747 is actually wrong: when McClane opens the fuel line on the side of the engines there is not a panel that says fuel dumping. There is no huge panel like was in this movie, and actually fuel panel is the in back of the wings not near engine. There are more problems with the movie like, McClane's wife Holly Genero McClane is again hostage, nosy annoying reporter "Dick" Thornburg is back and it is Christmas again. Those problems and facts ruines the movie for me. Because Die Hard, Die Hard: Witha Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard they felt realistic movies to me, this was just silly and really hard to cope. I know Renny Harlin really had problems like how to make a good sequel that comes near to original. The snow was fake, they had to make it, beacuse at the time shooting at the film they did not had any snow.
The characters I don't like Captain Carmine Lorenzo he was a dick, he treated McClane like some criminal and I did not like his atitude at all, he was a duchebag. I enjoy and love Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson played by Paul Gleason in the first movie, his character to me was at least likeable. Carmine Lorenzo was unlikable. I hate it so much this annoying guy Marvin played by Tom Bower, I hate it his character so much. I wish he would be dead. Major Grant I did not like him at all, once he was a duche and then he turn in to likeable guy but later in to a bad guy. I hate Colonel Stuart one of the worst villians I have ever saw. Holly Gennero McClane I hated her in this movie, she was not a wictim and I hated "Dick" Thornburg because in this movie he caused panic in the airport and he shut police down with his facts and his story. I hated this character. In the first movie McClane beats terrorist by him self, he was one man army in the first movie in this movie he had help and he did not beat terrorists all single. What happened to Al Powel? He only had 2 scenes and he disappeared from the rest of the film.
The rest of the movie I liked some people love it, I like the film for what it is. John McClane, now a lieutenant with the LAPD who this time finds himself trapped in Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport during Christmas week when mercenaries take over the airport's instrument landing system and threaten to bring down incoming passenger jets (one of which is carrying McClane's wife) unless a deposed military dictator on his way to the United States is allowed to be freed upon his landing.
I still enjoy snowmobile scenes when Stuard fires at McClane with his automatic gun and McClane flys with his snowmobile and you see explosion I like that practical effect and I love that in the film. I like the airport scene, the snow in the film, I love the weather how they filmed in 1990. McClane with the pipes as improvises torches and waves frantically to signal the incoming plane. I love McClane trying to prevent a plane crash, I love that in the film. When Colonel Stuart and his mercenaries throw six hand grenades through the shattered windows of the cockpit. McClane has no choise but he uses the pilot's ejector seat to escape just before the plane explodes. A parachute deploys ,but the plane is blow up really great explosion scene that is my favorite in the film.
The action is alright, I understand the film, a military are trying to free their drug lord General and they plot to escape so they sieze the airport. I love Samantha "Sam" Coleman played by Sheila McCarthy she was a hot babe and I love that she helped McClane and she defened him she did not rat him up to those 2 cops in the elevator. Robert Patrick was in this movie as one of the mercenaries before he played his iconic role T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). The finale scene on the airplane I liked, the explosions I liked.
Die Hard 2: Die Harder is a good action movie, but it could have been a better movie. I like the film it is a good action sequel I enjoy it even with problems. The airport scenes to me they are still feel realistic, it has a good action snowmobile chases. Bruce Willis is excellent as Detective John McClane the hero in this movie, I love his charather to death. It is rated R and it is still bloody action film.
Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Defending Die Hard 4.0 a modern solid perfect underrated action packed flick
Me defending this flick, Die Hard 4.0 in my country or Live Free or Die Hard in US come out in 2007. There is an unrated version of this film, but I have never seen it before. I saw only theatrical version on my Blu-ray disc I don't have both of the cuts in my country. This is the fourth sequel in a "Die Hard" franchise. It is a sequel to Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995). Directed by Len Wiseman and returns Bruce Willis as Detective John McClane. This film did had some problems than the first three Die Hard films had, but still it does feel to me like a Die Hard film!
Is it better than Die Hard (1988) or Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)? No! it is not better than those two masterpieces. But to me it is better than Die Hard 2 (1990) I put this film above Die Harder, this is my opinion. I love this film to death! It is my third favorite Die Hard film and my personal favorite action film in my top 15 favorite action films. I am huge, big fan of Die Hard and Die Hard: With a Vengeance after Die Hard 3 ended it was my wish to get another Die Hard movie another great sequel like Die Hard 4.0. It has been talked in many years. Before this movie come out, I know a lot of facts and no I did not take this facts from IMDb trivia. Bruce Willis hated returning to his iconic role John McClane. I read it online in 2004 that Willis stated that his character John McClane should be killed off and been dead forever. In other interview Willis claimed that his character is a retired cop. Bruce Willis did not want to make the fourth Die Hard movie.
The plot: For the fourth film, It was for years in talk that McClane would be on a holiday with his estranged daughter or son in some hotel and terrorist would take over the hotel and his daughter or son would be a hostage again. Britney Spears really wanted the role of Lucy McClane because she was a fan of Bruce Willis, but she was rejected. I was disappointed when I found out that US actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead was cast instead Britney Spears. Originaly 20 Country Fox wanted John McTiernan back as the director for this film, but at the time McTiernan was in prison so they had to find a replacement and director that know his job well was hired Len Wiseman who come on board. This was the third film that Len Wiseman directed and he did a solid job. Before this movie, he only directed Underworld (2003) and Underworld: Evolution (2006) with Kate Beckinsale in the lead role.
To me this is a best action film from 2007 it is a modern action film, my personal favorite action film of all time, it works it is a bad-ass fourth sequel. Bruce Willis is still John McClane fighting cyber internet terrorists in a old school fashion. Die Hard 4.0 is more basic Die Hard movie by the book beacuse in the book his daughter was the hostage not his wife. This movie completely goes by the book, the way it was written by Roderick Thorp's novel Nothing Lasts Forever (1979). Die Hard 4.0 is based on a different novel "A Farewell to Arms" by John Carlin. I enjoy this movie much more than Die Hard 2, the pacing is much better, the action is great, is much better to me and even the plot is better than in Die Hard 2, it is perfectly executed. I know Len Wiseman hates the color, he was forced to shoot with digitally camera the colors and the scens, to me the colors look fine and I don't mind it. Maggie Q is a bad-ass as Mai Linh second henchman and girlfriend to Thomas Gabriel. She is not better than Karl (Alexander Godunov) but she was better than Sam Phillips as Katya. Because Mai Linh kicked McClane's ass. She was sexy, hot and gorgeous babe. I really love her. Bruce Willis is great again as always as Detective John McClane he fits his role perfectly and reprise his iconic role great. Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Lucy Gennero-McClane did a fine job, I like her. I love the Pictures and the actions. Timothy Olyphant as Thomas Gabriel the villan did a good job I love his villain. Timothy Olyphant was excellent I buy him as a bad-guy. Cliff Curtis as FBI Deputy Director Miguel Bowman was great I love his character. Cliff Curtis was 5 years earlier the villain bad-guy in Collateral Damage (2002) Schwarzenegger movie, it is good to see him a good guy in here. Justin Long as Matthew 'Matt' Farrell was great as Young hacker helping McClane out. I love his character he was decent. When McClane told him that he doesn't need him anymore, Farrel insist to help him out. I love the bond between McClane and Farrel. Kevin Smith is in this movie as Frederick "Warlock" Kaludis and he is decent in this movie, I love him. Christina Chang as Taylor FBI agent is great I love her! I wish Christina Chang would be more in the movie and she would have much more to do. Mark Bomback and David Marconi wrote a solid decent script for the movie that really worked kudos to them. I love the music score by Marco Beltrami who replaced Michael Kamen who did a music score for the first three Die Hard movies. Sadly Michael Kamen past away and he couldn't come back for making the music score for the fourth installment of Die Hard film. Even with PG-13 this movie works as an action film, it has tones of action in it.
The movie is about a cyber- internet terrorists killing hackers. Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) gets a job to pick up a Young hacker name Matthew "Matt" Farrell (Justin Long) and bring him to FBI headquarters to Washington D.C. after McClane does his job, a team of professional mercenaries attacks McClane and Farrell. McClane soon finds out his new witness is a target and whole US country is now a target. A team of cyber-terrorists are shutting down the United States government. Now McClane has to become one-man army once again against a team of terrorists with the help of his Young hacker friend Matthew Farrell, McClane has to fight these terrorists. While dealing the facts that his estranged daughter is one of the hostages again.
My favorite scene would be in the tunnel McClane drives a police car, jumps off the car and crashes the car in to the chopper of the bad-guys. Insanly but seriously great action scene practical done, I have seen in the film. Practical explosive, Willis still acts as McClane. The finale is better when McClane kills 2 bad-guys saves his daughter and says his famous lines. Die Hard 4.0 is to me much better fast paced, entertaining modern action flik miles way better than Seagal's Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995). Live Free or Die Hard should have ended the franchise, it perfectly ended. We did not need A Good Day to Die Hard (2013) with John Moore as the director and we don't need another prequel this sequel ened the Die Hard Franchise perfectly! I love this film to death, I love the songs played in this film. It is a perfect action film, does not deserve the hate! This is my review and I defended a solid modern perfect action film from 2007 everyone was great in here!
21 Jump Street: Loc'd Out: Part 1 (1989)
My second favorite episode of 21 Jump Street series the best episode in the third season!
I love this show it was my childhood favorite TV Show I have all three Seasons on DVD and Loc'd Out: Part 1 is my second favorite episode of 21 Jump Street tv show. Gotta Finish the Riff (Season 1) is my favorite episode but Loc'd Out: Part 1 is the best one with Gotta Finish the Riff. They don't make cop tv shows like this anymore. I grow up with this show. Johnny Depp is a bad-ass I am always going to support him I don't care what his ex wife Amber Heard says about him.
Great story, great plot: Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) and Hoffs (Holly Robinson) goes undercover in this gang of youngsters wearing yellow colors who are in a war with a rival gang wearing green colors. When investigating a weapons supplier. Ioki comes close to figure it out who the supplier is, but the supplier order a hit on Ioki and a gang with AK-47 woondes him badly, he wears a bullet proof west and goes to hospital. In order to findout who shoot Ioki, Hanson (Legendary Johnny Depp) goes undercover to other green color gang to investigate who was behind the hit. Someone know that Ioki and Hoffs were both cops and they order the hit on them. Hanson finds out that weapons dealer is actually a dirty cop. Hanson breaks in to his house but the cop finds him and start shooting at him. Hanson indentifies him self as a cop and he fires a warning shoot, but the guy keeps shooting at him. Hanson fiers one more time back and the guy is dead and Hanson runs away the episode ends.
This is my second favorite Episode in the series. Great performance by Johnny Depp and Dustin Nguyen. I love the gangs, the colors in this episode. I love the practical effect when Ioki is shoot by AK-47 and you seem him flying off the car. Great scene my favorite scene. Great music score and both episodes. I miss this show, they made 30 years ago and I still watch it. I miss episodes so great made like this one. There is not one cop show nowdays making episodes like this. Gangs, sexy girls. 80's had so sexy gorgeous girls. You see two great babes in this movie walking infront of Hoffs car. I still remember 1997 when two sexy girls in jeans goes pass my car I fall in love. I thought I will blow, so sexy they were. The 80's, the 90's they had great chicks, great sexy babes nowdays teen girls suck!
I love Johnny Depp as undercover Latino gangster I love when Richard Grieco dressed as a cop harasses Hanson and he beats with fists both of the cops great practical stunt done for real. I feel bad for Richard Grieco when he was arrested this month on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Thursday by an agent who denied him boarding because he was drunk. I don't know what happened to this actor today he played Dennis Booker a cop. He had his own show spin-off 21 Jump Street TV show Booker (1989 - 1990). It is really sad for Richard Grieco and Johnny Depp nowdays having so much problems in their personal lifes it is really sad. I am been a big fan of those two guys still I am, I wish them well in their personal life and their health.
21 Jump Street is my favorite tv show it always will be, I love this episode to death. I watch it in elementary school and high school years and nowday. My favorite episodes would be in the whole series: Gotta Finish the Riff, Loc'd Out (Part 1) and Fear and Loathing with Russell Buckins those three are my favorite episodes in the whole show. The first 3 seasons are my favorite seasons. James Whitmore, Jr. great directed this episode. I miss the 80's I want the 80's back I miss movies, shows and girls like this now days. I miss those actors so much.
American Ninja (1985)
The best Ninja Cannon Films 80's movie Dudikoff's best my personal favorite martial arts film
One of my personal favorite Cannon Films 80's action martial arts movies with Michael Dudikoff which is his one his best movies. To me this is the best Ninja movie of all time. It is my second favorite. American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987) is my favorite sequel of the two. I love this film to death! It was my favorite childhood movie I saw. American Ninja 1 and 2 are the best in the franchise my favorite movies of all time. The only two movies that are worth to watch the rest sequels suck. They are both my favorite Ninja movies in the all Ninja franchise. Ninja III: The Domination (1984) was more gory from Cannon Films more gory than American Ninja but still I love this movie to death. It is original, has tons of action it belongs with First Blood (1982) original creative enough. This movie is the best of all 5 movies.
This movie is Rated - R it is bloody, violent, lot's of stunts, real dangerous stunts. Ton's of action, lots of Ninjas, swords fights a lot of weapons. Nowdays they don't make movies like this. American Ninja 2: The Confrontation was my first film, before I watched this movie with my friend from school when I was 9 years old. Micheal Dudikoff's best performance as Joe Armstrong US soldier. Steve James was a bad-ass as Curtis Jackson. Screenplay was writen by Paul De Mielche, Gideon Amir, Avi Kleinberger, James R. Silke which they did a solid job writing a good script. Directed was by Sam Firstenberg just like he directed the second movie and he directed Ninja III: The Domination. Michael Dudikoff and Steve James are great but most of the cast is forgettable in this movie to me. Judie Aronson was the only cast I liked the rest I just didn't care for. Shootings was in Philippines the intier movie.
My problem was the romance between Joe and Patrica I thought it weakend the film, I just did not care for, they could have cut the love scenes. In Hard Target (1993) they cut the romance between Van Damme and Yancy Butler they could have cut the romance in this movie too, it was not need it. I would have give a 9 but cause action and fight scenes saved the film I give it a 10. Still a bad-ass action movie. Chuck Norris should be a star but he refused the role thank god. Tadashi Yamashita was the Black Star Ninja he was actually a bad-guy in The Octagon (1980) come out 5 years earlier. Thank god I have those movies on Blu-ray disc I am glad I have them. I would love to have Ninja III: Domination in my collection but I don't have that film.
The story is about Joe Armstrong, a US soldier with no memory of his past, yet is skilled in the way of the Ninja. Steve James is Curtis Jackson, a US Army corporal who befriends Joe and the two get caught up in a conspiracy involving a Ninja order and the military. A group of Ninjas and terrorists are stealing military equipments from the army and are selling them to weapon buyers. When Joe Armstrong becomes involved and findous out about this, he knows too much about this operation so they try to kill him. The soldiers and ninjas but only he American Ninja (Michael Dudikoff) can stop the terrorist group.
There is a lot of fight scenes: Joe fights against Curtis uses his martial arts skills on Jackson. Great choreography between the two leads. The warehouse scene is my favorite it was a trap and Joe becomes a target against Ninjas. With his martial arts skills, he kills all the ninjas one by one with his skills and weapons. I love when Black Star Ninja attacks Joe in his cell one of the guards MP officers that was killed by Black Star Ninja was Richard Norton. Great martial arts choreography by Mike Stone. The first fight between Black Star Ninja and Joe is my favorite fight scene in the movie. Well done effects practical done effects. The finale fight between Ninjas: Joe dressed as Black Ninja against Ninjas and his step father Shinyuki played by John Fujioka helps him out. John Fujioka played as a mentor to Patrick Swayze in Steel Dawn (1987) my favorite Swayze movie. The 80's really had great action martial art movies, better than now days. The finale in which Cpl. Curtis Jackson (Steve James) is on a vehicle with his M60 machine gun during the assault at Ortega's plantation blasting bad guys to pieces. He looks like John Rambo in First Blood (1982) and Colonel James Braddock in Missing in Action (1984) a bad-ass! The fight between Black Ninja Joe and Black Star Ninja was great, great sword fight and great practical effect in which Ninja climbes the helicopter saves the girl and chopper gets blown to pieces by Jackson. Great explosion, great practical effect. No CGI, or wires or all actions done for real.
I love the poster of this movie, on the Imdb cover, I love the music soundtrack by Michael Linn. Judie Aronson as Patricia Hickock was great babe I love her. She was in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter as Samantha. Michelle Botes as Alicia Sanborn from the sequel is my favorite lead. I love this film, but I love the sequel more. American Ninja 2: The Confornation (1987) was my childhood favorite sequel and it still is. American Ninja (1985) is my second favorite movie of the 2 American Ninja movies. I love Michael Dudikoff, Steve James and I love Judie Aronson. Has tons of action, martial arts fights, Ninjas, explosions, it is entertaning and fast paced. I love American Ninja 1 and 2 they are my favorite movies I love this movie to death.
Heat (1995)
Michael Mann's the best 90's action crime saga masterpiece flick - my personal favorite movie of all time
To me one of the best action crime saga masterpiece movie of the 90's by Michael Mann. I love this movie to death! It is my personal favorite action movie of all time. To me this is one of the best movies of all time!!!! You have great cast: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Diane Venora, Amy Brenneman, Dennis Haysbert, Danny Trejo, Ashley Judd, Mykelti Williamson, Kevin Gage, Wes Studi, Ted Levine, William Fichtner, Natalie Portman, Tom Noonan, Jon Voight and Jerry Trimble. You have two great actors square off at each other Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Heat (1995) is a great film, it is a kick-ass action crime drama movie. It is a great crime EPIC drama has action and thriller elements.
The movie is 3 hrs long, but is not boring goes fast around. Heat is a remake by Mann of an unproduced television series he had worked on, the pilot of which was released as the TV movie L.A. Takedown in 1989. I saw L.A. Takedown on VHS played by actor Scott Plank in the role as Vincent Hanna. Sadly Scott Plank past away in 2002 and he is no longer with us anymore. He was in Melrose Place Season 5 and 6. The actor is really missed. In my opinion Heat is much better movie than L.A. Takedown with a better cast. Great story, great plot.
A brilliant L.A. cop (Al Pacino) following the trail a deadly armed roberry to a crew headed by an equally briliant master thief (Robert De Niro). Al Pacino has this crew: Mykelti Williamson, Wes Studi, Ted Levine and Jerry Trimble. Robert De Niro has his crew: Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Kevin Gage, Danny Trejo, Jon Voight and Tom Noonan. Great cast of actors that i know.
Michael Mann is one of the greatest directors ever. I did not like Miami Vice movie, I loved the series. In this movie it is a cop looking for a criminal. I love Collateral (2004) I have not seen that film in a long time, but I love it. Manhunter I enjoy I would say it is better than Red Dragon. I love Heat to death I love that Michael Mann produced Miami Vice (1984 -1989) one of my favorite TV shows. My favorite Michael Mann movies are Heat and Collateral they are my favorite movies of all time. Collateral I watched during my sophmore year on DVD with my friends. I have both of the movies on Blu-ray discs. This is a heist movie it belongs there with Point Break (1991) one of the best heist movies of all time I love and enjoy both of the version movies. Heat to me is much better than Point Break, much better executed.
I love Lt. Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) LAPD robbery-homicide detective he was a great character cop. Al Pacino's best performance for me. I love the character, he saved daughter of his girlfriend when she slit her wrist. I love his line because She Has a Great Ass!!! Or Don't waste my time! I love his vision, he was a tough marine. He take down McCauley's crew. He killed and shot two members of the crew. I prefer Al Pacino's character more than Robert De Niro's character. I always rooted for the good guys I have rooted for Vincent Hanna beacuse he is a good guy I am always be the good guy the boy scout. I love how Hanna was huging this mom when her daugther was killed by Weingro (Gage). It is great acting performance from Al Pacino.
I love Robert De Niro's performance a professional thief Neil McCauley. He was smart, intelligent, high profile criminal with no criminal record. He was the mastermind behind the robberies, he knew what he was doing. He was a murderer and he did what he know best. I love De Niro's acting performance I don't root for him but I love De Niro in this movie and this film to death!!!
I love Kevin Gage as Weingro I love his character I love actor Kevin Gage. I read on trivia that he went in prison in 2003 and most of his inmates called him Weingro he was respected in prison. I love Val Kilmer his best performance. Ashley Judd was great. Jon Voight is in here as De Niro's acomplice. Jerry Trimble was also cast in this movie as one of the detectives in Hanna's team. Tom Noonan has a little scene in here, with a beared he was helping McCauley. Reminds on my dad with that beard ha ha. Tom Sizemore's best performance as Micheal Cherito I love his character.
I love the shootut bank robbery heist. Lt. Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) pulls out an FN FNC-80 assault rifle during the shootout on Flower Street, and uses it to kill Cheritto when Cheritto - who is firing at Drucker and several other cops - grabs a little girl as a human shield. I love when McCauley's crew a firing on cops you see Hanna and McCauley firing at each other. Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) fires at cops, Val Kilmer's reload was so fast and smooth that this clip was used in U.S. Marine Corps training videos, to show new recruits how it should be done in combat. I love the shootout it is my favorite action scene. I love the finale Vincent Hanna chases down McCauley with a shootgun on the tarmac at LAX. They shoot eachother with their guns but Hanna sees McCauley's shadow and shoots him. I love the finale.I love the music score by Elliot Goldenthal great score well done.
I really love the bank heist to me it was realistic it was no fantasy. The acting the story it was realistic. It is how is normal life and I just really miss 90's movies like how they are done. Heat (1995) deserves to be called a mesterpiece on the best action crime drama movie sof all time. I like the love story between McCauley and Amy Brenneman as Eady I think the actress did great.
Heat (1995) to me is one of the best kick-ass action movie sof all time, it is my personale favorite action film of all time with Point Break (1991). It is a great film, it is entertaning. This movie deserves an oscar they both deserves an oscar. To me it is better than all Three Godfathter movies. God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters by Moby is a great music song, great look, solid performances it is a cop and criminal movie that is wonderful done.
American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987)
My personal favorite Ninja action sequel flick, Michael Dudikoff's best movie of all time
American Ninja 2: The Confrontation the sequel to American Ninja (1985) is my personal favorite Ninja sequel of all time. I love this movie to death the best movie of The Cannon Group they ever made. This was the first movie I saw in the franchise as a kid on VHS sadly I only saw half of the film. The tape ended and I did not come till end. One of my school mates invate me to his home and we watched the first movie on the tape, but sadly he did not let me to see this movie. He did not borrow me the tape but when it was on TV I taped it and had my own movie. Now I have all 4 Ninja movies on Blu-ray discs. The first 2 American Ninja movies are the best in the franchise they are great to watch they are entertaning martial arts action films. American Ninja 3 is alright, 4 and 5 suck!
The Cannon Group's best movie is American Ninja 2: The Confrontation and it will always be my favorite 80's martial arts action movie. Michael Dudikoff's best movie. I know that the first movie American Ninja was a big hit, they made this movie on a low budget. The budget for this movie was $350,000. That surprised me this movie doesn't look like $350,000. it looks like a great film. Lionsgate has nowdays terrible movies on a big budget now days, but old times you had a great movies on $350,000 on this movies. It fast paced, lots of action. Great soundtrack, great music score. My favorite music score from George S. Clinton really my favorite score in the whole franchise of alll five American Ninja movies.. Steven Seagal DTV movies are not great like this movie which is sad. I know the first American Ninja is people's favorite and the best one, to me American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987) will always be my favorite the best one nad the greatest Ninja flick ever.
Michael Dudikoff and Steve James both return from the first movie in the sequel as Army Rangers Joe Armstrong and Curtis Jackson. Joe Armstrong was always my favorite character. I always thought this movie was better than the original. Steve James R.I.P. I really miss him I really loved him in movies it was terrible when he died when I was only 9 years old.
The story is about on a remote Caribbean island 4 Marines disappeared without any trace. They call Army Ranger Joe Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) and Curtis Jackson (Steve James) for help to look into the disappearances of the Marines. This leads to a drug empire headed by "The Lion", an evil super-criminal who has kidnapped a local scientist and mass-produced an army of genetically-enhanced Ninja warriors.
The movie has like ton's of action, fight scenes, great choreography. It has Ninjas tons of Ninjas. Ninja fights on the beach it is great. Steve James kicks Ninja's ass on the end is great. The beach scene is the best were Michael Dudikoff is alone and Ninjas try to capture him he avoid to be caught he uses his martial arts, beats Ninja's all practical done. They did not use stunt doubles for Dudikoff fight scenes. Steve James did his own stunts. Fighting 2 - 3 Ninjas at the same time with a Bo (stick) a lot of fight scenes. You have this bar scene in which Dudikoff appears with his motorcycle and when he try's to enter the bar he got attacked by those thugs and with no problem Dudikoff tears them apart. He gets to meet this guy Taylor (Jonathan Pienaar) who set him up on a beach. 7 thugs appear in the motel room and Dudikoff with his martial arts beats the hell out of them. There is the second bar fight with Dudikoff, James and this guy Larry Poindexter they get surrounded by group of thugs and you see gtreat fights all three of the lead characters did a great job.
Joe finds another lead by this sexy chick Alicia Sanborn played by Michelle Botes who was a sex babe and Joe wants to know more about to Blackbeard Island. Ninjas attacks him and Michael Dudikoff uses his skills in self defence and kills Ninjas. He rips some Ninja's head off you can see cuts on his head. He burn's some Ninja. Than Joe, Alicia and this kid Toto (Elmo Fillis) flee with a car and this Ninja is pursing them attacking them on the car all three jump off the car, the car flys, crasheses and explodes you see practical explosion great. In the finale you have great fight scenes wth swords. It is Ninja against Ninja. Joe dressed up as a Ninja faces off second Ninja: Tojo Ken played by Mike Stone. Great finale and I love Steve James fighting against the Ninja "Stay Down!" In my opinion by this movie they should have ended American Ninja series we did not need 3 awful sequels even tough I like American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt, but I don't love the flick I love this one and the first one. Those two to me are the best one. I will review American Ninja (1985) soon I just wanted to review this movie first.
Lets talk about the cast: Michael Dudikoff's best performance his best movie, best character as Joe Armstrong he is my favorite character Dudikoff ever played. Steve James is a bad-ass as Curtis Jackson I always love those two guys together. This is Dudikoff/James ultimate third and final collaboration between the two guys. Michelle Botes to me was better leading lady than the first chick from the first movie was. Judie Aronson I liked Michelle Botes a lot than Judie Aronson. Jeff Weston as Capt. 'Wild Bill' Woodwar I liked him a lot he was great. He was supporting Armstrong and Jackson I love that. In this movie we finally know Joe's last name because in the first movie he was only pronounced as Joe. In this movie his last name is Armstrong. Mike Stone was great he was a martial artist and he was a choreographer for the fight scenes they were all practical done. No CGI effects all done for real. Gary Conway he was the blond drug dealer who made millions with drugs by making biogentic clones of Ninjas and selling to other people. Leo 'The Lion' Burke great name for the villian The Lion. Gary Conway wrote a script for the movie with James Booth the actor who previously played in Sho Kosugi movie Pray for Death (1985). Gary Conway best acting performance. Sam Firstenberg is second and final American Ninja movie he directed. Sam Firstenberg is great action director in the 90's he directed some good action movies. American Ninja 1 and 2 will be his best movies.
In my opinion American Ninja 2: The Confrontation is equal as Rambo: First Blood Part II they are both my favorite movies. 80's had great action movies and horror slasher movies. First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III, American Ninja, American Ninja 2: The Confrontation those are my favorite action movies I cherish and i love to death. I love them the sequel is the best one to me. I love the chemistry between Joe and Alica and Joe and Curtis works as a team better than in the first movie.
