McCinsey's Island (1998)

Powerful

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is, without doubt, the finest example of exemplary film-making. Hulk Hogan is to film what The Jonas Brothers are to music: each makes an incredible contribution, but neither gets the recognition they deserve. Despite all that has been said about this film, I believe that Hulk Hogan can and in fact does act his way out of a paper bag. The plot is flawless: fast-paced and full of suspense, while the boat chases are some of the most exhilarating I have ever seen.Absolutely no short-cuts are taken in the making of this movie, as highlighted by the talented Hulk Hogan and terrifyingly authentic evil-doer Grace Jones. If I were to have to make one criticism of the film, it would be the lack of talking parrots; I would have expected far more from such an otherwise flawless film. For me, highlights include the amazing stunts, the amusing dance work-out instigated by Grace Jones half way through, and the Hulk's ability to express even more emotion than his own moustache for once (although I feel that this may have been achieved through subtle, but necessary, editing).Definitely the highlight of the BBC's line up of midday films on this particular Friday; this includes the Godfather on BBC 1 at the same time.A definite must-see!!!!! Especially for anyone with an IQ as a great as their shoe-size.

i was the "henchman" in the black shirt and backwards ball cap with a hellraiser box tattoo, close up when the grenade went off, and I'm about to laugh cause it was so cheesy, but hey it was an easy 225 dollars,but i knew it was a straight to USA network movie when i saw it...but the Germans probably liked it a lot more, it was filmed in new port richey, florida, in basically someones field, the city was so proud that there was a movie being filmed their, that they treated the cast and crew like royalty, and threw them a big party (i.e. free drinks and chicken fingers). even the crew realized what a turd this movie was....one guy just walked off the set, and i had to double for him, look for when the kid falls of the back of the boat and two guys haul him out of the water, they switched us mid scene, because they were to lazy to do a reshoot, and i look NOTHING like the guy i switched with...I'm at least 60 pounds more than him and a half a foot taller...i was the only extra that would get in the water without a fuss, i worked as a plumbers apprentice once...a little water doesn't bother me

Hulk Hogan and Robert Vaughn are two bright points in this otherwise forgettable movie. A retired secret service agent (Hulk Hogan) is solicited by his Sherlock Holmes like partner (Robert Vaughn) to recover a boy, McCinsey's tresure, and an evil war monger (Grace Jones)all in all two stars

What makes this movie so bad? Is that the insane plot about Hulk Hogan's "retired" secret agent finding a treasure map on the back of a turtle and then following it? Is it the sad waste of talent of Robert Vaughan? Is it Grace Jones's almost insulting turn as the baddie and the usual assortment of incompetent henchmen? Or is it the patronising and quite frankly unbelievably immoral ending?Surely somebody, at some stage of making this picture, must have realised that the only people who were going to watch this was desperate parents who drop their kids in front of rubbish like this and call it "family entertainment"? It's cheap, crass, embarrassing and just not worth the effort. I realise that I may not be the target audience but even so, children should not have to put up with awful movies like this one. Avoid like a nasty aunt at Christmas!Still, the scenery looked nice.
