hyped garbage
From my favorite movies..
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Wow! It sounds great. All these helpless beauties being held for ten million dollars ransom by Andrew "Dice" Clay and his henchmen. What you actually get is cartoon-like, mindless mayhem, and an hour and a half of nonstop nonsense. If it's supposed to be a parody, where are the laughs? With zero character development, no logic to the script (the usual automatic weapon close range misses abound), and high tech foolishness everywhere, the movie is both stupid and tedious. The only redeeming factor is the presence of Andrew "Dice" Clay, who transforms his condescending persona into a pretty fair villain. Everything else, including Shannon Tweed, as the heroine, is forgettable. - MERK
Shannon Tweed's first attempt to change her image and become an action heroine is also one of her best films. To be more accurate, it's the best of the three or four films that I've seen her in so far. It's nothing more than a "Die Hard" clone, and Robert Davi is wasted, but the pacing never lags, the direction has energy and Tweed is fairly convincing as a kick-boxer. (**1/2)
Andrew Dice Clay and Shannon Tweed star in this film that is a action film, but like dice's Ford Fairlane, is a funny film past all of it's action. Tweed and Dice make a good pair as the heroine and villain. Not exactly the best acting, and no nudity from Tweed made me feel bad, but what can you do. Because with dice (in a action film so bad it is a hilarious comedy) you can't loose. A-
Even with a healthy suspension of belief, this movie is so illogical it's actually be fun to watch. I defy anyone to find a piece of scenery that hasn't been chewed to pieces. One complaint: the casting is all wrong. Robert Davi should've been the criminal mastermind, Roddy Piper the cop, and Dice the cold blooded henchman. It's entirely possible that all the females in the picture (excepting Shannon Tweed) are really beauty pageant contestants, their acting is so bad.
