Do you really like this movie?
From the top to bottom this ranks way below Plan 9 from Outerspace. If you really liked this, put the moonshine, beer, crank & crack down. Go read a book. Any book.

Actually, I do! Won’t say it’s a great movie but one things’ certain: I first watched it 17 years ago (and again last night) and I’ve kept some memory of it, which is a whole lot more than what I can say about some movies I’ve watched only a couple of months ago.
I love action flicks and this one pretty much does what it’s supposed to do: entertain those who like to watch fights, guns and lots of things blowin’ up! The story’s not too complex and has a few plot holes, but I can name many movies which are basically holes without an actual plot.
Besides, the movie makes me laugh; it’s hilarious at times and not because of the “so bad that it’s even good” factor. Ferguson’s dislike, even hatred, of Nikolai is manifested in some rather funny lines and attitudes. Also, the small dialogue between Nikolai and Gao, about the names, is amusing.
And finally, ok, the acting’s far, very far from good, but what the heck, we do get to watch a young, fit and almost naked Dolph for a reasonable amount of time! :)) Hey, if you can’t act good at least look good! ;)
this is a good mindless action movie. i remember when it first came out and enjoyed it then and its still good to watch during a sunday hangover ha HAA. when i get hurt i still say "do you have a bandaid" like he did lol
shareWorse than Plan 9? You're out of your coconut. Granted, it's not the most solidly told storytelling but as a fun, cheesy action flick, it's certainly watchable.

Are you kidding me? This film was freaking terrible, even as an action movie! I'd much rather read a decent book than watch this crap. Or put on a decent action film, like Commando.
shareOld school action with Dolphie. "B" classic.
shareI thought it was ok it had some good shootouts and explosions
I use to own this town Now my life's been turned upside down Just a phase I'm going through
