...but I can't imagine how...

This film is misguided, to say the least. I felt like I was watching a high-school produced video (as in VHS) presentation. Devoid of anything that makes cinema magical, this humourless train wreak of a film was painful in most parts and laugh-out-loud awful in the rest. And not even the fun kind of laugh... The so-bad-it's-great kind of laugh that we all love so much. This is a "this makes me angry" kind of bad.

I dare anyone out there to watch three minutes of this film without finding one major, fatal flaw in the scene. From the characters who appear and disappear at random, to the "Hey man, you've always wanted to act" casting, to the horrible camera work and lighting, this isn't even on par with second unit material from a porn shoot.

About the only saving grace is that every now and again you can see something, a faint hope... and I'm not sure if it's a glimmer of respect from one Zombie movie fan to another... a tip of the hat to the genre by stealing ideas from other, greater zombie films that shows through from the screen. Or is it a nugget of original thought that's actually somewhat provoking? Naw... It's probably ripped off from something else.

If you're thinking of renting Zombie Night, do yourself a favour. Skip the video store. Pick up your video camera. Grab some fake blood and old clothes. Find an old school or a garage or a field. Shoot your own movie. You'll have a far better time.

Just don't make the same mistake that they did and try and SHOW IT to anybody.


I am a huge zombie movie fan and have watched all of George Romero's movies, and every independent, grade B, or mainstream zombie movie that I find I watch. This one was the worst I have EVER seen, scratch that this is not the worst zombie movie, this is the worst movie PERIOD.

To start with I know kids who lie to their parents more convincingly than the actors in this movie acted. It didn't seem like the actors where just inexperienced, it seemed like they where all mentally challenged with mouths full of marbles.

The zombie gore effects where also terrible with the camera lingering to show wriggling gummy worms and pieces of raw meat moving up and down with the rhythm of the zombies heart beat, and zombies chewing down a sausage link (intestines) and not even taking a real bite out of it???? The gunfire was made with $99.00 effects Lab software or possibly the lite free version, it seemed. The ballistics and flash didn't match up to the weapons and the weapons where lame and generic.

The people being attacked just stood like mannequins to be eaten by the zombies, there was not any "AI or Artificial Intelligence" as they put it in the gaming world. The zombies where so slow in this movie you could outrun them with broken legs, but, healthy young adults couldn't outrun them??? The plot and concept where not original and there where huge jumps or gaps in the plot. I would only recommend this movie to people that I hate with a passion. No wait, I don't hate ANYONE that bad.


CHIM CHIM the Video Monkey (akachimchim@yahoo.com) says "That Dave Francis, writer/director, really knows his zombie stuff." Man, who are you trying to kid here ?!?! This was by far the worst zombie movie I have ever seen !! And I hate the fact that the creators of this movie pretend to be someone else and get on here and give this movie 10 stars. I don't even know if I wanna give this poor excuse of a film any stars at all.

Okay, first of all: The acting, GOD AWFUL. Who the hell casted these nobodies, Helen Keller ?!?! The location was crap too. The movie is supposed to take place in a post-war ravaged world, right ? Gee, never would've guessed it what with the cars passing by in the background on a freeway.

I am not gonna blame the budget whatsoever on why this movie was crap. Hell, George Romero made a movie with less, and look how great he is. And that's another thing, the script sucks because all it did was rip off Romero.

And another thing that's kinda lame is the fact that the zombies only come out at night. I will admit, it's something a little new with the zombie genre, but the fact is that it makes the zombies less threatening, so that sucks !

Okay, and get this, the bad guy, Derek, he keeps screwing people over and he even kills a girl, and the "leader" of the group, Dave, lets him go. Okay, if i were Dave, I would've shot him in both kneecaps and let those zombies eat them. AND WHERE THE HELL DID ALL OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS COME FROM ?!?!?!?! God, I wish Dave Francis would just give up on film-making, but no ! He's making a sequel. He better get it right this time.

So I understand that someone died during post-production, now I'm sorry for this loss, but seriously, don't use that as an excuse to pass off this movie as a good B-Movie. This was an F-Movie, all the way ! 1/10 ... though it deserves a -10000 / 10 !


As a big fan of zombie movies and B-horror, I have come to expect enormous plot holes, sub-par editing, hard-not-to-laugh-at acting, and poor dialog. With these in mind I purchased Zombie Night from my local DVD/CD shop for 4$, why not add to the collection? What I didn't expect was that the acting would be SO bad that I would feel almost embarrassed watching and listening to these characters interact in the film. The dialog and actors leave you to believe they were selected minutes before the shooting and given no script as they make quite a few mistakes. Shouldn't they edit those out?

Additionally. the editing here was downright confusing. In one scene a couple is listening to the radio on their car stereo and when the girl reaches to turn it up... the scene cuts to live news broadcasts on a television highlighting the zombie uprising before cutting back to the pair in the car discussing the "magical" TV broadcasts? The cause of the outbreak is practically left to the imagination. Something about WW3 causing nuclear fallout which in turn is causing people to rise from death as flesh hungry zombies?

A couple scenes of nice gore including an excellent shotgun blast to the leg and a decent bit of gut munching simply weren't enough save Zombie Night from the ABYSMAL dialog, editing, and acting. Overall, a good rental for the die-hard zombie fan or something to pop on if your looking for a laugh-at-with-your-friends style horror flick.


OK let me start by saying that i APPRECIATE a 'bad' low budget movie, if it has effort. I mean i had a Public Access Show in Atlanta GA in 1999 where people sent me stuff (for you kids, Public Access is how you got stuff played before YouTube), and even though the movies were cheap and low budget and technically 'bad', it was for that type of genre. If they had sent me this movie to play on Public Access, i would've shown it. But Public Access is as far as this should ever get.

I can't believe this made it to national distribution. Acting is god-awful. all the way around. Editing and plot are terrible; all of a sudden you might be thrown into a mass zombie attack which lasts 2 seconds, then everyone is safe and sound again talking about how dangerous everything was. The plot is disastrous. the ubiquitous bad guy in the group (and the group keeps growing/shrinking mysteriously with no explanation) murders one of the girls in cold blood, and the good guys, in revenge, rather than killing badguy outright, decide to punish him by sending him to the zombies. of course the dude who sends him to the zombies never returns but butthole badguy survives. Then the movie ends with a lame salute at a 'butch cassidy & the sundance kid' ending. really, really bad movie.


This 'film' is absolute trash. I've seen amateurs in high school do a much better job then what these guys attempted in "Zombie Night." Shot on what looks like a cheap Circuit City hand camera, the 'actors' portrayed are flat in character, and the acting is so poor it could give people like Hulk Hogan hope for his acting career. The only good quality of this movie was it's gore effects, which were handled with enough care. However, this movie is merely just a vehicle for decent zombie gore, and not much else.

A bare bones plot, a script that could bore you to tears, combined with worthless acting and quality leads to a 2/10 in my book. You lose, good day sir!


I am a fan of zombie movies, so I picked this up, knowing it wasn't going to be another Dawn of the Dead. I watched this movie today, and I feel it did what it was made to do, kill time. The zombies don't look that bad, and the gore was nice. The plot is simple, after many of the world's empires nuke the crap out of each other, zombies start springing up. Those who survive meet up and try to survive longer. Now, enough about that, on to the movie. The acting is well... meh, the characters are rather dull, but over all the movie's not a waste of time. It doesn't feel like a whole movie though. The beginning just cuts in after the zombies spring up, the characters know too much about what to do, and the ending just seems there. Many of the characters are just there, never given a name or background, and the number seems to always change. Over all, I feel this movie is a good way to kill time. 4/10


This movie is so bad its almost funny. I don't regret watching this movie, in fact, where it not for the nudity and language, it would be worthy of MST3K. There are a couple paradoxes that make it slightly amusing. Although, the majority is total trash, sometimes so bad you can shove a pencil into you're ear canal just to stop the pain. It bordered on annoying as there where recurrent stupid things like the whole susceptibility to being, "ensnared within the agile grasp" of the zombies after being tapped. And script writing is seemingly nonexistent, did the director just give up half way through the movie? And the Derick character is the most annoying thing since "The Jersey Shore"

STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!!!


First, I watch a lot of zombie flicks. At least one a week. My love for the genre includes all the B-horror indie stuff, made with a camera you got for Christmas, made with friends in school. But at least those kind of films know what they are.

Rarely do I feel the need to comment on a bad zombie movie, as there's so many out there it'd take up a lot of my time. But sometimes one comes along that just reeks of failure. Zombie Night is one of those.

I sought this out based on a review on ZMDB.org. The review said "good acting, plot, cared about the characters, check it out".. but holy crap, now I think it was all tongue-in-cheek. The acting is some of the worst I've seen. It's right up there with Zombie Nation and Rising Dead. The actors actually stammer their lines sometimes, as if it's difficult to speak. They're so poorly delivered I actually cringed a few times (when I wasn't laughing and rolling my eyes). The actors are like talking stone walls, until the script says "move," and then, they promptly become stone walls again.

The story is average, but execution is unenthusiastic and extremely bland. I pray this is the director's first film. You don't care about any of the characters (though you do want Derrek to make up his mind on staying or leaving), and just wait for the gory parts, of which there are few (though it is decent special effects for such a low-budget film). There's a couple topless scenes, but other than that, f***ing yawn.

Would've been 2/10 but I gave it an extra star for the decent bloodwork. I was glad when it was over. I wish I could wash this movie off of me.


I watched this movie last night and I am going to blockbuster today to demand that they remove it from their shelves.

I was seriously surprised that there were credits at the end, people were actually willing to admit they had something to do with the creation of this movie. At some point you think someone would've stopped and said, "Hey, this is absolute crap, we should stop right now and quit movies forever." Seriously, at some point during the filming, editing, screening or any number of junctions in movie making someone should have called it off.

The pinnacle of the awfulness was the scene at the stairs when the zombies broke through the "barricade." If you watch (not very) closely you can see one of the "zombies" flinch at a falling crate. Flinch as in, move fast to avoid something falling on your toe. I almost took the DVD out and broke it in half when, about 10 seconds later, pitchfork guy requests a bullet to the head before having even been touched by a zombie.

Good God.


I love low budget horror films, I really do. I mean, any time most people buy or rent such a movie, they think before they even reach for their wallet, "Oh, my my my...this is going to be bad." But folks, brace yourselves...it gets worse.

The only reason I gave this movie a star is so it reflects negatively on the movie's rating, as opposed to posting no stars at all. We don't need anymore civilized human being to be subjected to such horrible films. Everyone else has accurately depicted just how terrible the plot, acting, effects and everything else is, so there's no need. The only thing you need to know before watching this is it falls right in line with all the other low budget failures that have been flooding the zombie genre lately. "If we try and put excessive amounts of gore in here, maybe no one will pay attention to every other flaw that graces this dung-pile." It doesn't work that way.

And you totally know anyone who left this movie a positive rating had to be people that were in on making the movie. Especially since it's the first few comments. They even disguised one user as someone from Los Angeles, CA! Smoothe move, Canadians.


WARNING: THIS MOVIE IS SO BAD THAT YOU SHOULDN'T OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY WHILE WATCHING OR COULD CAUSE HEAVY RETARDATION AS A RESULT FROM WATCHING DUE TO THE TERRIBLNESS OF THIS MOVIE First of all I saw what ever this video or supposed movie and thought it was the worst film I've ever seen. Whoever made this ( i don't want to call it a movie because i don't think its even worthy of that) video recording of these so called actors did so because I believe they want to tell people that they are actors and have been in a movie.

I was reading the other reviews and I cant believe some people actually had the nerve to give it an o.k. review. Someone said in one of the reviews that he worked in this film, please you should have paid me to watch this movie. Anyone thinking about seeing this movie, put it this way i was so mad about getting this movie i gave the DVD to my 3yr old little sister to draw on it and smash it up in her sand box. This video is not even worthy of a rating because its not even a movie. This video is like watching a group of kids play zombies and humans, A few play the zombies and a few play the humans. I should have told blockbuster that if i wanted to see a bunch of retards run around in costumes i would have gone to the trailer park thats about 4 miles away from my house. By the way if anyone who was in this movie can read this review, I hope you have luck finding a job, i know the reason why you probably made this video is because the economy is bad and you must be one on those people that got laid off from the peanut factory. If I knew all you have to do is run around with a camcorder, act retarded,and make a deceiving front cover for the DVD, then i guess i can start making movies too.

TAKE MY ADVICE TO ANYONE WHO Hasn't SEEN THIS SO CALLED MOVIE YET. THE COVER OF THE DVD TRICKED ME IN TO THINKING THIS MIGHT BE A Legitimate MOVIE, THE COVER IS ONLY A TRICK.


The story is not original, not coherent and not enjoyable to watch. It's nothing more than lame idiots (how many no one really knows as the numbers inexplicably keep changing) running around trying to survive zombie attacks.

The characters aren't very interesting in the first place --- just a bunch of dumb clichés. Even so, the acting is pathetic and these people should be embarrassed. It's more than just what they say, their actions and movements are all off and out of sync with nearly every scene.

The DIALOGUE is deplorable. The last time I heard characters repeatedly speak in such a stilted manner was in those old Saturday morning cartoons from the 1970s.

The writers really ruined this movie; if you don't start with a well written story there's no sense in even making a movie.


You don't really appreciate mediocre actors until you've seen some godawful ones. And there are plenty of them in here.

That's okay, though, see, because everything else about this movie is just as godawful. I'll have to second the other reviewers' acrimonious bashing of this film, and offer the following additions:

Fans of horror movies quickly become inured to bad movies, since bad movie makers all too often start out in this genre. But nothing can prepare you for badness such as this.

Everything about this movie is amateurish! Not even 'good' amateurish; you won't get any Blair Witch vibes here. It's so amateurish that you can safely defy anyone involved to _spell_ the word; I've seen kindergarten school plays with better writing, better production and better acting than this. And that is the feeling you get when you watch this; that it's some high-school student film project which got misplaced and by some horrible freak accident wound up on the shelves of the video store. It's so bad it isn't even funny.

When I saw this a few months ago, some emergency (such as the need to clip my toenails) prevented me from finishing it. So I don't know how it came out. But I simply cannot be arsed to find out. This is 20 minutes of my life better spent watching infomercials.

Yeeech!


When I saw this movie at the store, i expected it to be half decent, but it turned out to be the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. The storyline was as murky as it could get, characters seemed to just pop up out of nowhere and be put into the plot. There were dozens of people who never even had names, lines, or any significance.

The breasts were sub-par and the acting, horrible. The gunshots sounded like cap guns, and we never got to see a mere glimpse of Amber's hot bod. This may seem superficial but as it applies to this movie it is a viable point.

The only redeeming quality about this movie is the character Rick, who like many of the other characters just showed up out of nowhere. Rick was the most bad ass character in the whole film, he took charge of the situation and forged a path to victory. Too bad he was killed, because the writers (even though none are credited... surprise surprise) cannot think up a good story.

The other best part of this movie was the EXPLODING ZOMBIE LEG. Not only did Derek get that shotgun inexplicably, but apparently the zombie whose leg Derek shot wasn't actually a zombie, but a cyborg (which explains the sparks).

I feel like I need to take a shower, wash my eyes with bleach, and watch a good movie after watching this despicable attempt at anything coherent.

This movie was written by four people who wanted this movie to be good.


How can you start off a summary about a movie that lacks every single element of entertainment and abandons any structure of coherence? The only positive thing in this horrible film was that there were three pairs of boobies that coincidentally were on the three best actors in the film (!).

The film starts out pretty much like the last guy summed it up. A guy (Mark) who looks around 50 is with his girlfriend of roughly one year (Amber), who looks around 20, and his daughter (Emily). Now, in an event to get Emily and Amber to bond, Mark decides that a post-World War III vacation to a cabin in Nowheresville (a.k.a. CANADA) is relevant. During this time (keep in mind, time is a subjective matter in this film, there is no feel for time in this movie. The only real instance we are 'some-what' presented with a feel is when a still shot of the school/warehouse/prison/business building is darkened using Photoshop for night and re-lit for day)a virus has changed FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE!! into zombies. This staggering number, of course, has crippled every government military across the globe, leaving marshall law in effect.

Conveniently, about this time, Mark's car breaks down and thus the humor ensues. We are introduced to the vague character of Dave, who unfortunately at this time, his kid (who looks roughly the same age as his wife) becomes stricken with Zombieitis, then gives it to his wife, who in turn must be shot by Dave, the only time in the film where Dave's acting is above sub-sub-SUB-par.

Dave, assuming the leader role, gathers presumably ten or fifteen guys (the number keeps changing), one of whom is Derek, the REBEL of the group. Derek, constantly giving members of the party the one fingered salute, eventually is kicked out, then returns, then leaves on his own will, returns again, shoots a woman in the stomach so the ridiculously slow and idiotic zombies can feast on her, and is finally strung up to a tree whilst the group takes turns punching him in the balls (while zombies surround them) That's pretty much the basic plot line for this excuse of a movie. Dave is the WORST leader in the modern film era constantly making horrible mistakes as his idiotic sidekicks maintain their loyalty, the black guy forces a quirky British accent, and people must be trained for a shooting 'stance'. Their brilliant barricade is nothing more than a few empty milk cartons that are eventually removed by Derek!!! and his bald friend.

This movie sucks. My ears bled as a man stricken with the disease yells "I BEAT CANCER, I CAN BEAT THIS TOO" and people seemed oblivious to the idea of memorizing lines. Four or five times people began stuttering and the director simply allowed, probably assuming that's how people naturally talk.


Sometimes one must wonder how some pieces of cinema could be allowed to see the light of day. The person responsible for this film should have tossed the original into the nearest wood-chipper. The film quality was terrible, the sound quality was worse, the plot was dull and the acting was shockingly terrible.In fact, the movie was so bad that it is worth a rent! Despite my vote (which this movie truly does deserve) I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. The effects aren't too shabby, and the lack of talent makes this movie laughable. After all, it isn't entirely the actors' faults that the writing was so terrible. The movie is so abominably lacking that it makes for a fun 93 minutes. My advise is to grab your friends, sit down in front of the television and prepare to laugh.


This movie made me angry not because it was really bad, almost all zombie movies are bad, but because it just ripped and ripped and ripped off Romero's movies without as much as a wink. It's not new to borrow from Romero but this is as unoriginal, boring and poorly executed as it gets.

I normally wouldn't slash another artist's work this way but looking at the IMDb comments here there are clearly planted 10 star reviews from interested parties and that's kind of lame.

The only good thing about this movie is two of the women who take off their tops have really great breasts. I can imagine the crew of this film hanging out and slapping themselves on the back for getting us to rent this but please stop making movies. It costs too much to go to Blockbuster and pick up two or three of these awful movies that no one seemed to put enough time or effort into making.


The screen play and slightly higher production values seen in this zombie flick are the only things that set this film apart from the hoard of other "back yard" produced zombie films which flooded the market during the time period of it's release. While it is true that lovers of George Romeros zombie films will see many welcomed and familiar themes and plot elements in this production, the bad acting reflected in the entire cast's performances drag this film's impact and quality to a sub-par level. Sometimes bad acting can be humorous and endearing, here it is just bad acting and leaves the film with a flat feeling.

Only serious lovers of zombie flicks will feel that they got their moneys worth out of this one. Any movie that has this kind of stilted acting, coupled with zombies that find a wobbly pile of boxes an unmanageable obstacle deserves a rating of 3 out of 10.


One of the worst zombie movies I've ever seen. Even for a B grade movie it was horrible. Some of the acting is passable, but the script with its dozens of plot holes goes from bad to worst as it drags on and on and gets more confusing as each moment passes. The editing is probably the worst thing about this movie. It almost reminds me of the horrible editing in the early silent movies when film was so expensive you had to take the shot you got and often the cuts didn't match. Well, expense couldn't have been an issue because you can tell by the grainy effects that it was filmed on digital cameras.

Seriously... I want my 5 bucks back for the rental fee of this DVD.


***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***** The good news for this film is that I have seen worse....Children of the Dead always come to mind when trying to pinpoint the worst in the genre. The bad news, I have seen much better zombie movies which were made on the same or less of a budget than this acting mess....Meat Market, for example.

The thing that kills this movie is not the budget (well maybe it played a part), but the terrible acting and editing. They seem to think it is okay (or that people will not notice) that the actors are constantly screwing up their lines, forgetting their lines, etc. These scenes are left in and not edited. The editing is so bad, I thought I was dozing off and missing pieces of the movie. For example, characters keep popping up from scene to scene, and all the other characters know their names, and are like long lost friends. These are main characters, I might add. There is no explanation of where these characters came from, how they know them, etc.

The plot had good intentions, but was laughable for the most part. One of the most laughable parts of the movie was when they were held up in an abandoned building. The main alpha male told everyone that if they saw someone who was bitten or infected to raise their hand. Their was one guy standing around with half of his forearm bitten out. Huh, no one seemed to notice this when they let him in. There are so many scenes like this that I could write for days and not hint on them all.

It appears that the director lost his wife, sister, or relative during the making of this movie. My heart goes out for his loss, but I cannot see that as an excuse to put out such a crappy and poorly made movie.

I see that Zombie Night 2 is coming soon. Hopefully they learned their lessons making this one and will improve. I hate to say it, but I will probably rent the 2nd one. I can' help it, I am a living dead head....

Seizya.


I love zombie movies. Even bad zombie movies are entertaining. Or, so I thought until I saw this movie. It was horrible. Badly acted, a script that makes little sense, bad editing, and audio that isn't even matched up right. There's not really much else that can go wrong with the movie.

The time line of the movie makes little sense, but thats OK because the script is so bad, the characters are so poorly done and the execution of the film is so bad that you'll be screaming for someone to hand you the remote before one more minute of this cliché ridden, badly written waste of disc space goes by. I threw my DVD away after watching it.

Avoid it at all costs.


I want my five dollars back. This movie stole nearly two hours of my life I will never get back. This movie was utterly terrible. Where do we start? OK first the camera work was shoddy. The script was the worst piece of dung I have ever witnessed. The acting was vomit worthy, seriously this bunch of actors makes Britney Spears and K-Fed look talented. The set's were cheap and the worst I have ever seen in my life. The special effect's where where they? The director and the producer's must have been nut's to think the abomination was even good for a B movie. I could go on for hours about how terrible this movie was. In my humble opinion I think that all copies of this film should be thrown into a fire. Seriously. I recommend you stay as far away from this movie as possible. This is the worst movie I have ever seen.


I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, not even if you are in the mood for the worst of the worst B movies. The sound must have been recorded in a studio post production and rarely syncs with the film. But technicalities aside, it isn't the low budget that killed this movie. The acting is monotone for almost the entire production, even when a zombie is disemboweling some unfortunate victim and even then you can't even rely on the violence to carry this one.

I laughed a couple of times at the complete disregard the living had for the other living suffering at the hands of the undead, but even that was too rare to warrant the drive to Blockbuster. Luckily I was able to trade this one in on the same night I rented it for a better option.


Poor Dereck was jacked in the dick so many times I really felt his pain. Over all this movie was terrible like my mom's sexual meatloaf; which has been known to cause excessive diarrhea, some might even say explosive. I remember one scene where a door was broken down, mind you this was their last defense, and the response was "Dereck why did you break down the door?" In a very feminine voice. Also Dereck once had all of his ass-holiness absolved by the good preacher Dave who makes a rousing plea to God at the end. There was also a lot of needless tit sightings in this movie. There were these 8 hicks standing around a naked zombie in some sorta circle jerk. Oh yea and the concept of an unbreakable barricade is a few boxes tied together. Why are we researching Hydrogen power when there are ideas like this? All in all this movie makes me regret being born.


This was the worst movie ever created. I hate everyone involved in the production of this motion picture. I don't even want to call it a motion picture. I want to call it slow, mind-numbing pain pulsating through my cerebral cortex. I've never seen a movie that actually made me want to hurt something. It's so bad, I can't even describe it.

Watching this movie is like choking on stale bread. And even less enjoyable than that. It's the most uninspired pile of crap I've ever witnessed. The director makes a cameo in the movie as the guy pissing on the side of a wall. And there are boobs in it. That's it.

p.s. A guy gets his leg blown off too.

This was all that stood out. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.


The film has a low-budget but the action isn't that bad. Especially the opening scene. A boy's family is killed by bad guys and he grows up to be a cop. He has blocked out the memory all of his life, but when a series of events triggers him to remember his dark past, he must get vengeance for his family. Decent acting and okay action. The budget effects the quality of the film but if you can get past that its an okay action-thriller. I bought this film on DVD for like 5 bucks and i had high expectations, but i actually enjoyed it. If you like Pare then it's worth a glance. If you don't like PAre or know he is, don't bother with it.


First of all, a question to you - have you ever seen any of Yossi Wein movies? If no, then you might end up liking "Merchant of Death". Michael Pare looks tough enough, portraying a likable hero, and Linda Hoffman in my opinion? is very cute looking doctor, who is trying to help Pare with his problems.

Now, if you are familiar with Y. Wein's work.... you'll probably be angry as hell, and end up throwing your notebook away or breaking your DVD player in half. Because about 40-45% of this movie is EDITED from 4-5 other Yossi Wein movies. I kid you not. Footage from Cyborg Cop 3 (1996), Cyborg Cop (1993), Project Shadowchaser 4 (1996), Warhead (1996) and Never Day Die (1994) was used for almost ALL action scenes, except for those when we see Pare running / shooting or talking.

I don't know whether this was done because of budget constraints, or pure laziness, but i was really upset with this effort. They probably could afford Michael Pare for only 1-2 days, so they shot the needed scenes and added everything else later. Due to bad editing, you can actually see other actors (Frank Zagarino from Shadowchaser 4 footage, B. Genesse in a car chase from Cyborg Cop 3, old warehouse shootout from Cyborg Cop, etc) in the footage used here. So, if you haven't seen any of the movies mentioned here, you will probably like this no-brainer. Otherwise, please avoid it.


Almost laughable production, but still basically just plain bad. Impressive fire shots are almost "Backdraft" quality. Score rips-off "The Rock" except it lacks energy, just like this lame film.


.... But not as bad as it could have been either

I had a problem with the title of this movie . What does " I Went Down " conjure up to you ? I thought thought we'd be seeing a bio-pic on Monica Lewinsky I seriously did but instead found myself watching a black comedy road movie

This is a co-production between the BBC and the Irish film council made at the same time when British film production was picking up thanks to TRAINSPOTTING and THE FULL MONTY . There's aspects that give a vague nod British production premise of having a couple of losers in the shape of Git Hynes and Bunny Kelly make an unlikely journey but the Irish influence adds a lot of charm to the story that was missing in say THE FULL MONTY

There are a few problems though . One is that the director seems to bottle out of wanting to use on screen violence . For example Git is shown getting into a fight early in the movie which ends with a bottle being smashed on a table then it cuts to a character telling Git how angry he is that a character has been maimed . It's like the director went out of his way not to show any serious violence . There's also a few unlikely occurrences throughout the movie usually involving Bunny . You'll know them when you see them I'm sure

Having said that I WENT DOWN is a lot better than many other movies that were funded by public bodies in the British Isles round about the same time . It's by no means a great movie but is far more entertaining than say THE LIFE OF STUFF and THE SLAB BOYS


Although occasionally diverting and sometimes innovative, it is still a small-time-crooks-run-rings-around-their-problems. I was bored to tears.


As a young lad at school in Southern London in the 1950s I found myself inculcated with the idea of the supremacy of being English, and that the Irish were so silly they only knew how to plant potatoes............

Years later, from my friendly enclave retreat, hidden in the depths of peaceful Spain, I have noted how over the last twenty years the Emerald Isle has been doing some wonderful things in all spheres of life, especially with its valuable contribution as a member of the European Union.

So I would prefer to do without trivial stupidities which are supposed to be some kind of comedy but which are no more than comical in bad taste, such as this pointless film `I Went Down', which, for some reason beyond me, seems bent on reaffirming those indoctrinations with which I was fed half a century ago.


Kurtlar Vadisi may be a good time passing movie for the ones who have to much empty time. Actaually I didn't like the serial at all. Why may you ask? Well it's very hard to see a movie who takes all the mafia com-plots in one, with poor action and bad acting. It seems just like they created the other Octopod (the serial Italian movie about mafia) with a little less touch. Also I didn't like the so called Polat Alemdar smoking cigarettes quite in every screen, making him self very charismatic with his Zibo lighter (a friend of mine restarted smoking for this, I am not 100% sure thought but yes it gives you effect). Well the beautiful actress Özgü Namal (in Elif Eylül role) tried very hard and she showed her best performance but she could't do any miracle surrounded by ''not at all good'' actors. Long story short ''Bad''. It's not worth being watched, as long as you have to much empty time!


I was a teacher in a Hamilton school where the crew ate their lunches between takes, as scenes from this one were being shot. I wanted to see street scenes I recognized, so I ordered in pay-per-view for my kids, 10 and 6. They seemed to like it. I didn't recognize a single Hamilton location. Moreover, I couldn't believe how few jokes were in the script, how thin the characters were, how uninspired the plot and the performances. I like Mary Walsh as a CBC satirist and she's created and played some funny newfie characters, but it's obvious that for this movie, she took the cash and handed in a quickly-written piece of doggy doo doo. I think we've seen the last of Bailey. Bow wow!


There is a recurring problem in the last two seasons of BtVS and I believe this episode highlights it better than most. One could see that the writers have had a decent or in some cases, great idea, for compelling drama but blatant plot holes and inexplicable turns in character motivation makes the suspension of disbelief completely go away, resulting in zero dramatic effect and yelling at the writers. The writers, not the characters. Yelling at characters for making in character mistakes makes for great drama. This does not.

There is no way in hell Xander, Willow and Giles would completely turn against Buffy and basicalyl depose her just because they think her in a certain situation plan isn't sound. No way. No way. Her reluctance to kill Angel in season one leads to Jenny's death among others but later on Giles still trusts her judgment. Why would he not do that again? Especially considering they are in no way, shape or form safer from Caleb in the Summers house than they would be if they go for his lair and Giles and Scoobies don't have another plan at that point. It's painfully clear the main goal of the scene was to make Spike look for like an angel (not that Angel :)) in comparison. I haven't even seen the next episodes yet but this could hardly be more clear. I can see why the Scoobies were not thrilled by the plan but there is a world of difference between "this plan is no good" and "Buffy, you are no good because your previous plan was the same and it failed". Like their plans were successful every time before... And having a quarrel in front of all the scared Potentials? What were Giles, Willow and Xander thinking? Way to inspire lack of any confidence whatsoever. Remember Showtime where they planned it all in private? Remember the very previous episode where they trusted Buffy? One mistake and suddenly Faith is a better option? They behaved as if Buffy had known Caleb was so strong and led them there just for the fun of seeing people die. Yes, the plan was risky and they could have refused to go along but the dilemma presnted as "the plan or Buffy, pick your poison" is too contrived. She could have left, indignant by their behaviour, since she really some megalomania issues in the latter seasons. But all of the Scoobies deposing her and kicking her out of her bloody house due to a propositino they don't like? No. Just no.

And the funny thing is, Buffy behaved just as silly as her friends. She repeats in this season over and over how she trusts Spike and Spike only. The plan WAS indeed quite suicidal and the gains from it merely hyphotetical at that point. A good leader should discuss their plan, all of it, not just the details. Yes, she should have had the final call but when have the Scoobies attacked the Big Bad without proper preparation and evaluation of the options? Remember how hard it was for Buffy to decide to not sacrifice dawn in Season 5? Now she has a gut feeling and expect people to follow immediately. WTF? She should be thankful she is still alive and wait for info from Spike and Andrew, not taunt the guy who gave them a thrashing on just a day ago.


The "Urban Legend" franchise returned with this straight-to-DVD installment but this time a supernatural spin was added to the series. While it's a decent idea, unfortunately, it didn't work. The main problem was that you never really got the sense that anything supernatural was going on to begin with. In the "Final Destination" films all the deaths were made to look like freak accidents yet you always knew that they weren't just accidents but that something supernatural was at work. It was the complete opposite in this movie. Despite constant reminders that the ghoulish Mary might be lurking about, most of the deaths still seemed like they really were just freak accidents. As if they weren't the result of something eerie but instead the result of extreme stupidity on the characters' part. It didn't help that the majority of the victims were thin stereotypes (dumb jocks and their air-headed girlfriends). Basically, I never felt like Mary was much of a threat.

Storywise, the film left a lot to be desired. For one, there's no relation between this film and the previous two UL films which was disappointing. Even "Final Cut", which had a new story and a new set of characters was still somehow connected to the original "Urban Legend". Also, the script for "Bloody Mary" felt disjointed at times. It's like they were more concerned with getting from Point A to Point B without much consideration to story. For example, a subplot early in the film where the jocks suspect a character of seeking revenge because of a prank just went nowhere and was forgotten after a few minutes. And then there are a bunch of seemingly important characters introduced during the first half of the film only to be forgotten during the second half, as if they never existed. On the acting side, the cast was barely okay. In the grand tradition of B-films, the heroine (Kate Mara) was the only one who showed any signs of promise with the rest of the cast displaying community theater performances. Especially Ed Marinaro who apparently never learned to act after his buff body and good looks faded away.

This movie was an obvious attempt at trying to revive the UL films by adding elements from such thrillers as "The Ring" and "The Grudge". But taking ideas from other films shouldn't come as a surprise for this series since the first two "Urban Legends" were ripoffs of "Scream" and "Scream 2" (what's next? An Urban Legend set in a hostel?). That wasn't entirely a bad thing since out of the dozens of "Scream" ripoffs, the UL films were the only good ones. They were fun and they added their own unique spin. Sadly, the same can't be said for "Bloody Mary" which does nothing fun or unique with the premise. And it certainly never comes close to being eerie or creepy like "The Ring" or "The Grudge" for the reasons mentioned above, the supernatural element wasn't established well enough and Mary is nowhere near as scary or even interesting as Samara or Kayako. She comes across more like a angry Goth girl with bad make-up. The film could have worked if they had a director who could have made Mary's scenes more chilling and atmospheric but instead they're just dull, uneventful and predictable.

One of the film's biggest offenses is that it completely betrays the title. The film has nothing to do with the actual legend of Bloody Mary or what she supposedly does when summoned. Rather than base the film on true Bloody Mary legends they come up with a lame story of their own involving a prom from 1969.

I didn't hate the movie like I thought I would but I also didn't enjoy it as much as I should have. I will say that "Bloody Mary" is at least worth checking out for the spider scene alone. That was the film's one true highlight.


God. I don't know where to begin with this one. "Urban Legends: Bloody Mary" has to be one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. Definitely a top 10 contender. Here we have the third instalment of the Urban Legend franchise, this time changing it up (yeah, such a smart idea). Instead of the UL usual stalk and slash story's, this time they're brining a supernatural aspect. To be more specific, Bloody Mary. Thrilled? I think not. When the movie ended, I was kind of lost for words. I was a big fan of the original. With it's smart script, great setting, talented cast and more than enough scares, it was an instant classic. The second addition "Urban Legend: Final Cut" was nowhere near up to the standards of the first, but it was entertaining enough and a decent sequel. This however is catastrophic. This was only made for the sake of having a trilogy.

The movie has so many flaws and plot holes, it's just too hard to name them all. I would also suffer a severe head pain actually trying to go through the movie again - it sounds terrifying just thinking about it - but for all the wrong reasons. If I had to pick one thing that stood out the worst, it would have to be the story. Bloody Mary?, come on, give me a break. Seriously. The third Urban Legend should have been a slasher, fright fest. Going back to the true, original style of the first. Though, I know it would have never measured up to it's first, I would have probably respected it a lot more. The story is just lazy. It lacks any real spark. It's like they read one of the most boring takes on the several Bloody Mary stories, and turned it into a film.

The second flaw would have to be, yep, you guessed it, the terrific acting. Man was it bad. Every single "actor" was bad. When I say everyone - I mean everyone! Not one of these Z listers has a decent shred of good acting abilities in them. This made the film appear cheap and unprofessional. All I wanna know is, who did the horrific casting job? They should be fired! All in all this film was more than below average. More so in fact that it doesn't even deserve 1 star. It's a terrible piece of film and should be avoided at all costs!


After seeing this movie, I came to ask myself why this movie was called Bloody Mary. Besides them showing how she died and her getting revenge on the people that hurt her, by killing their kids, nothing else has to do with the story of Bloody Mary. The majority of the movie is people being killed one right after the other. They needed to go into more depth about Mary. Also instead of them saying Bloody Mary in a well lighted room, they should have done it in the bathroom with the lights turned off and facing the mirror, the way it's suppose to go. I have heard many versions of the story, but I'm pretty sure she was suppose to be pregnant....

OK so at the end we find out that Billy was the kids stepfather, wow big surprise, who killed Mary by accident. So he goes and tries to kill the brother and sister. We see the brother die, but at the end the sister doesn't even look sad. I have heard that they cut out the part when they run into each other at the hospital. Why would they do that? It kind of makes the ending look stupid.

Anyways it's kind of cool the way that the people die but nothing's a mystery. You know what's going to happen before it happens. If you're extremely bored and there's nothing else to watch I suggest this to waste some time before a show comes on.


I really liked the first two movies. They weren't great movies, but they fulfilled their purpose (and Hart Bochner was in Final Cut, good enough for me), but this movie...HORRIBLE.

Where should I begin. Well, first off, it makes no sense. The motivation of the human killer near the end is revealed, and well, let's just say he's lived 30 years out in the open, not hiding the fact that he was Mary's prom date, so why now all of a sudden is scared? Everyone knows she is dead, everyone knows he was her prom date, but it all got swept under the rug for some reason, but now all of a sudden he's willing to kill to keep a secret that has never been a secret? Um, OK...

Second, isn't this supposed to be Urban Legends??? What Urban Legend is someone getting killed with a broken bottle? Or strangled with a plastic bag? And why is Bloody Mary wanting to use Urban Legends??? It's not like her death had anything at all to do with them? And dying a tanning bed is NOT an urban legend, it's just a rip-off of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.


SPOILERS! BEWARE!!:I saw them in this order: UL1, UL3, UL2. Right after I saw the second one I got confused. The first UL killer is still alive and has just gotten with the UL2 killer. Now that would have made for a movie. But no, they pulled out UB: BLOODY MARY. I didn't like the supernatural twist. It was gay. I just think the movie would have been better if they continued the end of the second one. I would have had the girl from the first one and the girl from the second come back. Then both killers would try to take out their revenge. I just didn't like the fact that they lead us to believe one thing and threw us into something completely different.


This film has the POTENTIAL to be as great as the other two. It has pretty good characters, a pretty intriguing mystery, with this whole "past coming back to haunt" thread. BUT the ending is devastatingly lame.

I watched the "making of", and the director seems a few bricks short of a wall. She explains the film, and why it is such a brilliant, clever film. But the gaping hole in her logic is that she is WRONG. It is NOT clever, it is utterly ludicrous.

And there are too many stereotypes, from the jocks to the girls having pillow fights in their underwear, to the "Foxy Brown" / "power to the people" character.


Mary Banner(Lilith Fields)is a victim of accident when a prank by a certain jock in particular goes awry. Three jocks were to drug three female prom-goers leaving them in the woods as the typical prank. Mary believes that the jock she went to the prom with legitimately liked her, but once she realizes it was merely a set-up with her being a fool of the hoax, running away seems the only viable option. Chasing after her, the jock tries to grab her when Mary bites his hand. Retaliating harshly, the jock punches her with Mary hitting the corner of a table. Seemingly dead, the jock freaks out, placing her body in a locked trunk. Mary isn't dead and as she awakes, there's no escape resulting in suffocation.

This urban myth sets up the story that occurs during the remainder of the film..the sons and daughter of those three jocks(and a female who was the girlfriend of the jock who committed the tragic act of putting Mary in the trunk)are killed off one by one in mysterious, icky ways. One is burnt alive in a tanning bed, a girl is attacked by an army of spiders which seem to have made a home underneath her skin inside a bite that protrudes(this is done through CGI, but is particularly skin-crawlingly effective), one's penis is fried on an electric fence, and another is sliced and diced with a broken whiskey bottle by the ghoulish Mary herself(this death is said to have occurred by a falling candy machine..one almost kills him before Mary attacks). There's one victim remaining and that mystery is the ultimate key to why Mary seeks retribution.

Samantha Owens(Kate Mara)is "chosen" by Mary(she sees visions Mary "feeds" her)to seek out where her body is. Along with her twin brother David(Robert Vito), they search for reasons and clues regarding why all their friends are dying leading them to Mary's friend from 1969, Grace(Tina Lifford). What they find will lead them to someone they know far too well.

Crappy computer effects, rather dull story, and silly supernatural antics undermine an ambitious idea. Bloody Mary rarely gets much horror treatment, although with the right filmmaker it's rife for exploring. This film has a rather weak heroine/protagonist and the film really isn't all that spooky. The film also just looks cheap and slowly paced. It's also derivative taking from other far more creepy ghost revenge stories. Uninspired to boot. The ending when Mary finally meets the one responsible for her suffering is embarrassingly awful.


this movie is terrible. i loved the first 2 urban legends, i don't even understand how this movie got added to the urban legend series. the killings in this one are supernatural, and only loosely follow real urban legends.

The acting is awful. the script makes no sense. Gaping plot holes glare at you everywhere. the make up and special effects are terrible (i laughed at every dead body out loud). The pace of the film and the camera angles make no sense. The only slightly decent part of this film is the makeup done on Mary Banner herself when she's attacking people.

Do yourselves a favor, NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER rent this movie. i don't care for what reason, even if you are bored stuck at home for 8 hours alone and this is the only movie you have, DO NOT WATCH IT. i feel like i got used by watching this. i want 2 hours back.


I'm sorry, I really wanted to like this movie when it came out, but my first warning should have been when it went straight to video and not in theatres like its former installments. I'm not a big fan of the films period, but I was excited about the story of bloody mary hitting the screen. First off, the acting is atrocious. I mean, are these actors or puppets? They just all seem to be way too dramatic, and you get the sense they're acting like they know they're in a horror film (if that's what you want to call it) and are acting out the cliché reactions. Mary herself was not scary, but probably more cute and cuddly. Seriously, I felt when she came on screen she was the fairy good witch, not scary at all. I respect Mary Lambert for pet cemetery, but after even watching the behind-the-scenes, I'm afraid she may have lost it. Hopefully her future endeavors won't be the likes of this.


just finished watching this movie and i can NOT recommend it to anyone out there. first of all it has no story to follow: instead of having a slasher who kills all the nasty rich kids one by one (copykilling after urban legends as usual), it's some voodoo-magic-zombie thing! yeah i know, now you'll say: where's the story in that? but i'm not lying: that's ALL that's going to happen! second thing is i just can't believe what they did when they handled this flick in the post production: at some points, the scenes are completely out of order so again the story lacks! dude, i wish i had money to make such a movie, it'd be better than this direct-to-trash format. okay, in the end i see one thing: these guys had a huge bag of weed with them and i swear (!), they smoked it all up, esp. the foxy-woman, and turned this movie into a documentation about what happens/what you see when you get hold on some really good shoot (your comment contains prohibited words!) :) one * for the smoking foxing brown, be honest, you REALLY where hight, right? and another * for, uh, i don't care...i love you all, peace!


I probably had the highest standard for Urban Legends Bloddy Mary that you can have for a direct to video. I thought it would be either okay or it would be horrible. This movie was probably okay to good but definitely not great. I't wasn't scary but it had some memorable scenes like a ring finger in a beer bottle and a guy even gets electrocuted to death because he wizzes on a high voltage sign. The acting is good and there's not a huge plot to it. Don't think it's anything like the first Urban Legend because it's not. My final verdict to the movie URBAN LEGEND BLODDY MARY is I liked it but i'm not sure I could watch this movie over and over again. I give it 4 stars out of 10 and 1 thumbs up.

Rated R, Violence and some language.


By the end of this movie, my friend and I had shared a lot of laughs. This is the epitome of a horror movie that is so incredibly ridiculous, that in moments where you should be scared, you find yourself laughing instead of gasping.

The storyline was nothing short of horrible. You are suppose to be questioning whether it is Mary or a real killer causing deaths. The answer is obvious, unless there was a character never introduced that could manifest spiders or whom dressed in a gory Mary outfit. Furthermore, Mary is ultimately seeking to be buried and chooses a girl to communicate with. However, instead of communicating in a way conducive to asking for help...Mary randomly manifests as bloody, pissy, and screaming as she flails rotting hands in the poor girl's face. Later on you learn Mary had the ability manifest as her pre-murdered self, and so I questioned why Mary didn't opt for that image for smoother communication. Despite what one would expect to be counterproductive communication, Kate Mara's character remains saner than I think any normal person would...and presses on with the task. (MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD IF YOU CARE) Hell, Kate Mara's character is hardly even phased when a character is revealed to have killed her brother (END). You genuinely have to pay attention to know beforehand who is interested in keeping Mary's killing under wraps. Naturally it is who killed her, but the movie isn't liberal with names and the future adult looks nothing like the younger self.

The acting wasn't entirely bad; despite Kate Mara's apathy to a particular death she was as good as expected in a direct to video film. I must say however, that Tina Lifford did bring some genuine effect to film. With the exception of maybe two, the supporting characters were pretty forgettable. The character playing the stupid tanning girl was hard to take...I couldn't decide if the writers were poking fun at incredibly cheesy acting.

Ultimately, I was surprised to learn that the director was behind some pretty famous music videos...and although I think she should keep to that genre, the directing I think was alright. Where this movie falls short, is the writing. It is not a good story nor does it have particularly good dialog, and I don't understand how a sane person/studio could decide to buy the script. What would be even more ridiculous is to buy the movie, unless you want to laugh your ass off and feel sorry for spending the money later.

Mary's evil is hardly beyond legend...


I love Urban Legends quite simply because it is from the Scream era when all teen slash horrors were worth watching, even the rubbish ones. And then they followed it up with a sequel, Urban Legends 2 : Final Cut which was absolutely awful but rather amusing at the same time, mainly due to the superb Loretta Devine who is always worth watching. So now they have number 3, and here is what they have done.

1) Urban Legends 1 and 2 have Loretta Devine in it as the token black girl who thinks she is Foxy Cleopatra - this on has a token black girl who looks like Foxy Cleopatra but who is the worst actress ever in the world.

2) Urban Legends 1 (and some of 2) follows proper Urban Legends from folklore and makes them come true, this one just uses the lame ones that some kid who goes to the special school made up in his lunch break

3) Urban Legends 1 has a very pretty cast, number 2's cast were kinda pretty, this one, well, lets just say that the whole cast were maimed by the ugly forest!!!!

4) Urban Legends 1 and 2 had a cool killer mask guy, this one has some dude in a ski jacket with his hood up and he only appears in the last 10 minutes

5) Urban Legend 1 had a killer twist, Urban Legend 2 had a decent finale, this one was just a load of crap, some stuff happens and nobody even cares (i.e. SPOILER ALERT!!! main girl who finds out her brother has been killed, does she care??? Does she heck)

So this movie is rubbish, and the people who gave it 10 out of 10 on here have obviously never watched a decent movie in their lives and probably own the entire Mary Kate and Ashley DVD collection and list Mac and Me as their favourite movie of all time!!!! AVOID THIS MOVIE!!!!


They should have watch supernatural first that bloody marry was fantastic

it was just Horrible, The movie didn't make it sense at all

The plot: On Homecoming night, Samantha (Mara), Gina (McCormick), and Mindy (Rulin) are having a slumber party at Sam's house due to being black-listed by the sexy football players. Since the dance and game are out of the question, the trio stays up and entertains themselves with Urban Legends..all leading up to BLOODY MARY. With nothing better to do and a whole night to waste, Sam chants "Bloody Mary." Her friends laugh... "Bloody Mary." More laughter. On the third and final "Bloody Mary," the friends are kidnapped by three jocks and return soon thereafter, shaken but well. Sam begins having hallucinations and soon bodies turn up - is it all a high school prank taken to grisly extremes or is it Bloody Mary, who's youth was taken far too early?

Worst think about this is that they don't even use a mirror REALLY Then marry pop up anyway not scary not creepy.

This is the only one good part in the movie - That part is when spiders come out girl face was really good it is bit over the top scene but the Rest of the movie is garbage 3/10 just for that scene


Pretty bad. It starts off in 1969 where a girl (Mary) is accidentally murdered and the killer hides the body and she's never found. It cuts to 30+ years later and high schooler Samantha Owens (Kate Mara) somehow raises the ghost of Mary who starts to take revenge on the children of the jerks who accidentally caused the murder. Why she never goes after the actual killer is never explained. Sam realizes something is wrong and she and her brother (Robert Vito) try to figure out who killed Mary and where the body is. It's also laughably obvious who the killer is.

Stupid, boring "horror" film. The script is old, the dialogue is jaw-droppingly stupid and the acting is mostly pretty bad. Only Mara and Brandon Sacks (Steve) show any talent. There are a few nice gory deaths to break the boredom and (surprisingly) there's no nudity. The closest we get is seeing Sacks in the shower (waist up) and wearing some very brief shorts in the tanning salon. One woman DOES take her top off but her back is to the camera. So--no real nudity, only a few gruesome deaths, a predictable script and bad acting. Makes the first two look like unsung masterpieces by comparison. You can skip this one.


while i really enjoyed "Urban Legend" and "Urban Legends:Final Cut" i can't say the same for this one.i found it boring,pointless,and annoying.the character of "Bloody Mary" is about as scary a "Tickle me Elmo" from Sesame Street.not only that,but this thing was predictable from the get go.the first 2 were not.at least i didn't think so.this movie does have a twist of sorts,and the only reason it may be unpredictable is that it is so preposterous that no one for a minute would believe it actually happens.there's no way things could have ended up the way they did.but in this movie,they do.the characters themselves are just silly caricatures.and lets not forget the ending.illogical and unsatisfying.i'd say the acting was bad,but i don't see how it could have been anything else in this movie.overall,this movie is awful.1/10


This movie was by far the worst movie i have ever seen in my life. The acting was terrible and the story line was so predictable. The deaths were terrible and unrealistic. In Urban Legends it was an actual person doing the killings in this movie they try to make it a supernatural killer a woman called Mary who has been dead for like 50 years. This movie also copied ideas from other movies and in one scene a girl has spiders coming out of her face. Death by house spiders some how i don't think so now lets face it its never going to happen so why try to make it seem as if it is something that could happen in day to day life? This movie tried to gather the same success as the original which i personally thought was a good movie. It is different characters and has nothing to do with the original if you are going to make a trilogy keep it to the same story line! Do not see this movie trust me it was the worst 93 minutes of my life i was counting the minutes hoping it would end soon.


This film was not only predictable but the poorest film in the world, i could of done a lot better and thats saying something. I had never heard of this film because I'm 100% positive it did not get onto screens in the UK and now i see why! it was not scary, unbelievable and the acting was rubbish. Sorry for me being so negative but i seriously suggest that no one put themselves through the 2 hrs of this movie because i would rather stare at my ceiling than watch that film. it does not even deserve a 1 out of 10! Ripped off Urban Legends,Grudge,Final destination 3, it had no original ideas and only sequels to the films that originally have the ideas can pull it off, this was just a cheap film, trying to add everything and anything into it to make it scary or good but failed miserably.


I did not even know there was a third installment to the Urban Legends series, but after loving the first two, for what they were, and this one being directed by Mary Lambert (who I adored for her work with Madonna and "Pet Sememtary"), I expected a descent movie.

Not even close.

There was no logical reason behind anything in this film, nothing is explained, and by the end, you just couldn't care less any more. The film wasn't scary, and the number of plot holes and mistakes could fill up the ozone layer.

Ms. Lambert should be ashamed of releasing such a piece of garbage...and should learn that if you're going to direct a high-school film about jocks, the guys should be a little more pumps and slightly better looking. When all else fails, eye candy makes even the worse movie bearable.


Unlike the un-related mediocre other "urban legends" this movie fails to have a significant plot, bits are thrown in through the movie (without need for the average viewer)in order to convey this is a movie about urban legends. In reality it is a simple predictable "who dune it" movie with extracts of left over legends simple tossed in at nausea. The special effects define this movie as not straight-to-tape, but it will end up in the discount bin at your local asda very quickly. Although the cgi effects have been done to a suitable level they are so unrealistic it doesn't matter how well they are done (100 spiders managing to materialise overnight from a single spot). In summary this movie will have you longing for the end, it doesn't follow on from any of the previous movies but is a classic "modern film" unrealistic cgi, poor plots (predictable) weak acting, sometimes the crew actual sound like they are reading the script out loud. Its time for Hollywood to start producing decent films.


This is the worst sequel to Urban Legends. It makes no sense. For reasons unknown, some chick has visions that make her care about an unsolved murder from 30+ years ago, and uselessly tries to figure it out, with the help of her twin brother, who in the end, died, I guess? They never really tied that up. But that's the least of the problems with this movie, though. The director doesn't know a good story, because this film does NOT have one. I can't even explain it, it's so bad... Okay, in the past, some girl, "Bloody Mary" was left to die in a chest in the attic(?) of the school (And understandably, the police would never search the school where she was last seen, and of course the school wouldn't start to smell when Mary's body rotted inside that chest, so it remains unsolved for 30 years). Anyway, this Mary chick comes back as a ghost to avenge her death by killing the children of the people involved in her murder. It's gay. The vision-chick has a hard-on for figuring out why her enemies at school (who drugged her and left her out in the country) are dying, and meets some old hippie chick who was involved in the old murder. The hippie-chick (wearing the same wig she wore 30 years ago), for more unknown reasons, leaves her house, giving up her 30 year agoraphobia, to help this vision-chick find "Bloody Mary"'s body and try to bury it. I can't write any more... The movie dialogue is boring and retarded. Too many holes in this plot to count (They don't bury people in the winter, the ground is frozen idiots). Ughhh... what a waste of time, like this e-mail.


The first "Urban Legends" movies was fair (worth 5), because it was just like "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movie and at that time, that kind of movies was popular. The sequel of this movie was fair too (worth 4), and again, it was just like "I Know What You Did Last Summer". Finally, the second sequel... It totally disappointed me. It was not about serial killer, who kills teenager, but it was about Bloody Mary, who was phenomenon and kills teenagers in unreal ways. So, the movie is not entertaining at all...

Idea and script of this movie was awful. Acting was fair, because some actors trying to be more real in this movie.

And in the end... I don't understand whats happened, because it was really boring. Worth to be not in DVD. but in TV...


For the number of big stars in this movie, I'm surprised more care wasn't taken to ensure it wasn't so horrible.

The movie starts out promising, with kind of a campy nostaligic feel, but soon progresses into crapland. The script is awful, and it seems like the actors know it. Hearing Gwyneth Paltrow say "what about your hickeys?" in any context is just wrong. And Christina Applegate's acting style fit in on Married with Children, but that's because she was SUPPOSED to act poorly. On a feature film, that approach doesn't work. Mike Myers just should not be in this movie. His character is poorly thought out, and he just pulls out the same old shtick to compensate for a stupid character.

This movie gave me that same sinking feeling I got when watching "Cellular". I knew it was just going to get worse and worse, that's what bad movies do.

I gave this movie 3 stars. I don't know why I gave it that many. Maybe because Gwyneth looks good.


This may have been the single worst large studio production I have ever seen. Beginning with the acting, Gwynneth Paltrow sleepwalks through this one like no actor I have ever seen. The one thing she displayed in this putrid mess was spectacular posture. Her dialog lacked life, which was largely due to it's laughable nature. Her attempts at physical comedy were so amateurish that I began to wonder if the whole thing was a spoof. Christina Appelgate couldn't have been worse if she were deceased. Candice Bergen tried desperately to reprise her Miss Congeniality role even though her character was written without any personal depth. Even the likable Mark Ruffalo came off poorly when confronted with the terrible direction and revolting writing that backed this travesty. When Mike Myers provides the best performance in your movie, you know you are in trouble.

I watched the movie alone and I asked myself, aloud, if this were the unfunniest comedy I had ever seen or the least moving drama. That is, the movie was so bad I was talking to myself. The story of a small town resident trying to get away has been done so frequently that undertaking it again requires something special. A View From the Top lacked that something. The nadir occurs when Appelgate and Paltrow fight in the galley of an otherwise empty plane, spilling peanuts and drink carts along the way. Maybe that sounds amusing, but when you see the actresses looking for things to knock over you know you are in the midst of a bad dream. Actually, check that. The nadir occurs when several of the students, including our heroine, first go to Sally Westin's (Bergen) house for dinner and we are subjected to a stream of jokes surrounding the homosexuality of Randy Jones (Josh Molina) that are at best unfunny and at worst offensively homophobic.

Before I get myself worked up any more over this, let me just say stay away from this film.


A friend loaned this DVD to me, and I prepared to watch it not with any expectations of seeing a great or even good cinematic product, but merely hoping for a mild amount of entertainment.

I was completely disappointed.

This film possesses no positive attributes that I can think of. Everything from the costumes to the sets to the script was banal, brainless, and obviously churned out of the Hollywood schlock machine simply to make a buck on the names of the film's hapless stars.

Three-quarters of the way through the movie I took to skipping 'chapters' in a vain attempt to reach a scene worth watching. Ultimately, I abandoned the effort.

This is the kind of movie that makes one wish desperately for commercial breaks, so that one can have some kind of relief.


It's not too often that a movie comes along that is so bad it makes me angry... but this is one.

I kept waiting for a laugh that never came, and was further insulted by the non-committal soundtrack. Was it supposed to insinuate girl-power? Maybe if you like country/rock uplifting go-girl artists... maybe its just me.

Mike Myers absolutely stole the few scenes he did appear in, but wasn't enough to make this movie bearable. And although it was painted a la Down With Love, it did nothing to uphold the style statement it seemed to be trying to make.

ooooh pink and blue! It stunk.


It is truly astonishing how a film as formulaic and trite as VIEW FROM THE TOP managed to get on board such a cast of Hollywood big-hitters and near big-hitters (Gwyneth Paltrow,Mike Myers,Kelly Preston,Christina Applegate,Candice Bergen,Mike Ruffalo),because in essence it is little better than a slightly (but only slightly) above average TV movie in it's plotting,production values,direction and performances.

Paltrow plays an aspiring air hostess with ambitions to travel the world,rather than just domestically in the US,but is torn between love for her boyfriend back home (Ruffalo) and eventually goes back to him.And,er,that's it.A story so paper thin and obvious that it seems to have been written by an inexperienced,first time hack (as indeed it apparently was),with forced and shallow comic situations,dialogue and characterisations.Some surface attractiveness and slickness do not detract from it's persistent banality and lack of depth,and events did conspire against VIEW FROM THE TOP from the start.Filmed in 2001,it's original release was held back (due to the events on 9/11) until two years later,by which time it flopped rather dismally.

Myers raises a few smiles as a lazy-eyed air crew trainer,but it is still baffling how this eclectic cast felt there was any mileage from a minor potboiler such as this,especially Oscar winner Paltrow (who has since described the film as 'terrible' in a subsequent UK newspaper interview).Gwynnie is a fine actress,and has ability in light comedy (as proved by her AA triumph in 'Shakespeare IN LOVE'),but she can do little with the feeble,uninspiring part she has taken on here (though she does look lovely in the numerous,if rather tacky outfits she wears),as is the case with other cast members such as Ruffalo and Applegate.There are also some rather pointless cameos from Rob Lowe and George Kennedy (recalling his Joe Patrone character from the AIRPORT series,which are actually rather funnier than this film),and the short running time (around 80 minutes) also indicates that much re-cutting and deletion took place beforehand (it sadly didn't improve the quality).

VIEW FROM THE TOP is not particularly offensive but a considerable disappointment considering the talent involved,and La Paltrow's career since her Oscar nearly a decade back has not really developed as it should've done,not surprising when she takes on roles as trivial as this.Maybe she's being punished for that notorious acceptance speech..........

RATING:4 out of 10.


For the first part the movie isn't really going anywhere. It however then soon becomes obvious that this movie is turning into a romantic comedy. It however also means that the movie starts to become more and more predictable, since everything is done very formulaic. Even though its a romantic comedy, the romantic aspects of the movie don't really play the central role in the movie. For big parts in the movie the Mark Ruffalo character isn't even features, which doesn't exactly help to make the love-story believable. There also isn't that much chemistry between Mark Ruffalo and Gwyneth Paltrow. I found it hard to believe that a girl like Paltrow would ever fall for a guy like Ruffalo. In the beginning he still seems like a cool guy but later on he suddenly for some reason turns into a complete- and boring dorky sort of person.

The movie doesn't ever flow well. For too long the movie basically lies still when it isn't heading toward one clear direction and the characters and situations aren't interesting and strong enough to keep your interest. It's the reason why the movie feels messy, since it makes it seem that the makers and actors had no idea what direction to head to with this movie.

It's also one of those comedies that isn't really a comedy at all, meaning that it has no laughs in it or great comical situations. The dialog also restrain the actors and situations from being funny. Basically the only comical highlight of the movie is the small Mike Myers role. You know something is very wrong with a comedy when the highlight of the movie is a extended cameo from a well known comedy actor. Gwyneth Paltrow is a great actress but she doesn't suit this genre. Basically in my opinion she's far too good and therefor also too serious and makes it hard to buy her in a comedy.

This movie seems to have done a world record attempt at putting as many songs as possible into one movie, without having a suiting soundtrack of its own and a record attempt putting as many and as short as possible short skirts into one movie. '60's movies don't even have this many- and short skirts in it. Not to sound like a feminist or anything but I found it to be pretty offensive toward women. Also can't believe Gwyneth Paltrow, who is an highly respected actress, agreed to this!

Like I said before, the acting is good from Gwyneth Paltrow but not really right for a comedy type of movie. Christina Applegate is great in her role but for some reason her role isn't really that big, even though he character plays a big part in the movie its story. The older she gets, the better her acting skills. She shows that she's a great and capable comedy actress, without ever having to fall back to her best known and breakthrough big comedy role in the hit-series "Married with Children". Basically the same goes for Kelly Preston, who also gets featured far too little in the movie. Besides Mike Myers, also Rob Lowe makes a small appearance. But why? Perhaps it was Mike Myers doing? He seems to serve no purpose in the movie, even though I was preparing myself for a big role from him in this movie, after he made his first (and only) appearance. His character seemed to be relevant but in the end it served no purpose at all and it was nothing more than just a cameo. Also other well known actors have a small cameo in this movie, such as George Kennedy, whose cameo is obviously referring to his 'Airport' movies past.

The ending is far too abrupt. They just kiss up and everything is OK? We're just supposed to assume that they'll live happily ever after, though not much in this movie indicates that they really will. Yes, I know these sort of movies are supposed to end with a fluffy and sappy ending but it's just not a satisfying and relieving enough closure for the movie.

Really, can't think of much reason why you should ever watch this movie.

4/10


Lesson learned: Getting a man is more important than following your dreams. Clearly a job can never be fulfilling for a woman. She'd rather live in Cleveland, just so long as she's with her man.

This belongs in the anti-feminist/backlash category of movies. Like Baby Boom, it shows us that women only think that they have dreams/aspirations in their careers but what is really important is family and that women should give up their jobs (which clearly do not hold the same interest) for their men/kids.

Up until the conservative movement's wet-dream ending, this was a a barely passable light hearted fluff about a woman following her dreams. It was OK -Mike Meyers was funny and Candice Bergan is generally amusing. However, the character's final moment of degradation and pathetic apologizing for pursuing her own life (I didn't see him punished for following his dreams!) was horrifyingly nauseating and infuriating.

Avoid at all costs! It is not only not worth watching, I think it could be psychologically damaging!


Man, What does it take to make an Owful movie ? Aperantly not much - with "View From The Top" they've done it big time.

The plot is obvious, cheesy (too cheesy), and to me and my GF... Complete waste of money .


I saw this movie when it came out in theaters last year, not by choice, by force! I'm sure I wasn't the only guy forced into this sorry excuse for a movie by their girlfriend. I am not one of the average guys who are only interested in hardcore action, or something else advertised right... My mind is open to almost any movie, but crap! This movie is about as original as my post for it ( not original lol)...I saw another "Chick Flick" around that same time called "Down with Love" and enjoyed that one, one hundred times better. In "View From the Top" the characters were terrible and undeveloped completely. The plane could have crashed in the movie and I definitely wouldn't have shed one tear of sympathy for Christine or any of the other flight attendants on board...DON'T LET YOUR GIRLFRIEND DRAG YOU INTO THIS ONE!! lol 2 out of 10...got the 2 because of Mike Myres's small part.


I usually like Mike Meyers and have enjoyed his Austin Power movies. I knew this was supposed to be a silly comedy so I did not expect real 'value' by the movie experience other than entertainment. I was thoroughly disappointed. I don't remember laughing once. I was annoyed at the stupidity. The acting was over the top. Gwyneth does not have acting skills - I still wonder how she got that Oscar! Don't waste your money on this one.


This was almost exactly like a run-of-the-mill porn movie (except there was precious little porn in it, except for at couple of bare-boobs shots), what with the incredibly bad acting, utterly pointless plot and ridiculous scenes completely unrelated to the rest of the story (case in point: the singing hippie priest)

Avoid at all cost! 1/10


What were they thinking when they accepted this script to be made into a movie? What were they thinking when they agreed to act in this movie? And I use the word act loosely. What was I thinking when I rented this movie? Oh, yeah, I remember. I saw all these names that are supposed to have talent. The acting & script are not stale, more like rotting. Well, at least they got the name right. This is looks like a movie, and calls itself a movie, but trust me, it is not. 2 out of 10


Lousy is not enough to say how bad the script is. It doesn't really have a story and try to portrait this "surreal" environment on very slim intellectual background. It is a pure waste of time and money to watch it. Whoever are affiliated with this movie have made a terrible business and career mistake. Two thumbs down, way down. If the rating has -10, I will give it to this one.


I registered at IMDB just so I might warn other unsuspecting viewers from this flick. More than anything else, it reminded me of hotel softporn -- sans the excellent acting and plot. Beware!


A singularly awful movie. Very few films have the awful power of "Façade". There is evidence some form of satire was attempted. It's a botched job. Eric Roberts (as businessman Colin Wentworth) meanders through the proceedings in a hopefully inebriated state. The obligatory "hot chick" moment is over quickly, blessedly; if you're watching for that reason. The soundtrack rips off "Strangers in the Night" (doesn't anyone own the copyright on that song?). Quite possibly, this is the worst film ever made with Eric Roberts. One would certainly have to hope so, anyway. The credits end with a 1997 production date, so this may have been unreleased for a number of years. Really, they needn't have bothered.

For the first couple of seasons, I thought The Apprentice was a highly engaging and exciting show. The combination between reality TV and a 16 week job-interview was innovative, and the producers of the show managed to keep the show relevant and not too "out there".

The new season 6 is nothing more than a big joke and it has absolutely nothing to do with business - at all. In the earlier seasons they used to put a lot more emphasis on the business-related tasks - now the focus is mostly in the boardroom where the contestants are expected to do EVERYTHING to keep them on the show (that means lying, trash-talking, backstabbing etc.). The boardroom can be entertaining to watch, but it's entertainment at it's low-point - Sometimes you wonder if you are watching a repeat of an old Jerry Springer episode. The tasks on the show are, at most, boring and mostly a showcase for the companies who are dumb enough to pay NBC for the publicity. And what is the deal about half of the contestants living in tents in season 6? That is just plain stupid and has nothing to do with business in real-life.

I have absolutely NO respect for any of the contestants this season, they all seem like idiots to me. In earlier seasons at least some of the contestants had a bit of integrity, now it seems like the contestants would kill their own mother to keep them on the show. It also seems like Donald Trump's massive ego becomes bigger and bigger for every season that pass by and to be honest, I can't see why anyone with a common sense would want to work for him. His rationality in the boardroom mostly doesn't make any sense at all and sometimes it seems he just like to trash people for what it's worth.

R.I.P The Apprentice. Please NBC, for God's sake, get the show off the air as soon as possible. It's just too embarrassing to watch. The Apprentice was once a great TV-show, but now it's just a big fat joke.


I LOVED the Apprentice for the first two seasons.

But now with season 5? (or is it 6?) things are getting just plain too tiring.

I used to like the show, but its become Donald Trumps own ego fest. Granted its his company you'll be working for, but come on! some of the things says "You're FIRED" is just insulting.

after watching the show, I would not want to work for him. not because he is arrogant, pompous or such. Its just that the show is unrealistic and the way he handles things makes me just squirm. Good Entertainment? YES, but tiring as the back stabbing gets so tiring.. its not team work, its not personal, its just business. watch your back jack.


I bet you Gene Simmons and Vincent Pastore negotiated in advance how many episodes they would be willing to appear in. Isn't just too contrived for Gene to switch to the ladies team and then throw himself on his sword? And Big Pussy? What the hell was that "look at me, I'm a rat!" double episode crap? All that cliché mafia banter- COME ON! The big names voted off just happened to already have received money for their charity and got a custom tailored exit. Hmm... This is not reality but staged drama! Mark Burnett's other show, "Survivor" also raised questions for me when Johnny Fairplay stages his departure when he clearly had just a short time before his child is to be born.

Yuk!


I can't stand most reality shows and this one is worst than the one with Paris Hilton, and sure it's his company. But "you're fired" or "you're hired", for how many seasons now? After watching the show I wouldn't want to work for the guy with his ego and all and I think watching paint dry has more entertainment valve.

I'd love to hear just one person get up and say "Donald I quit and take some of your money and buy a decent hairdo". I see he's even trying to buy fame in the wrestling WWE. I hope he gets hurt so I don't have to see his pathetic face anymore. It must be sad to want fame so bad and have no talent and make an ass of yourself trying to buy it. I'd give this show a negative mark if I could but it gets a 1 and it doesn't deserve that.


Beer League is for the most part competently made. The actors are believable and the sets look like what they are supposed to and the camera man doesn't trip with the the steadicam. That's about all I have to say about it that's positive. That, and that by IMDb votes, apparently only one girl in her tender developing years has been subjected to it.

Perhaps if the movie weren't so misogynistic, it would have been merely stupid. This movie isn't funny and has nothing valuable to say. Abotut he only use for it that I can think of is to demonstrate the virgin/whore dichotomy, perhaps more on display here than anywhere else. As of right now, this movie is only marginally below Ghostbusters 2 in its overall score. What is wrong with these people?


This movie made absolutely no sense whatsoever. OK they went over the line with going against political correctness. I guess that was the reason for this film. Word of mouth brings in people that are against political correctness or something like that.Thus,they fill a niche and make guaranteed money. Capitalism, the Howard Stern way. Thats fine,but it was a lousy product. The film dared to be different. By being overly anti political correct, that is ultimately what killed this film. The politically incorrect humor was diluted after 10 minutes of this film. It was just forced. Thus the shock was not only not funny, but not shocking anymore. Artie Lang was atrocious and so was Ralph Macchio. I can understand why Mr. Macchio is not getting parts. This was a film that did not need to be made. Yes usual fare of heavyset,middle age loser , living with his mom somehow an item with a beautiful woman. Predictable movie, taking place in working class town in NJ. Caricatures, stereotypes,lame humor,hard liquor but no beer. This movie had it all and managed to make it NOT work. The plot , party animal, fraternity type of misfits trying to win a softball championship against an elite snobs team. They even managed a stereotype here, making this obnoxious mayoral candidate a cousin of one of our protagonists. There you have the plot. See this at your own peril.


Watched/listened to this train wreck on the "Secret Stash" on Comedy Central last night. At this hour, it wasn't too censored and I found it virtually unwatchable. Not since Manos: The Hands of Fate, back in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 days, has Comedy Central fielded such garbage. Would actually rather have seen a 44th rerun of an old "Dave Chapelle Show" than to be subjected to this. Most of the commercials were sustaining (Comedy Central) as I can imagine they would have had a hard time attracting any advertising save for local cable stuff. In my opinion, after "Manos", this is the worst movie Comedy Central has ever shown.

Skip it!


Hey - it's "The Bad News Bears" again, but this time it's an older guy's softball team. How many times is this storyline going to be thrown back at us (as long as we keep paying to watch?).

Hey - there's also the loose woman with a heart of gold and the villainous villain who struts and grabs his crotch a lot.

There were some good scenes and there may have been something worthwhile in the screenplay and some of the characters but ultimately the thing was edited to fit the formula so that that which may have been worthwhile was lost or left to sit shining alone with no beginning or resolution. A long disjointed sentence with no commas.

Advice -- Do not pay money for this. Download it for free, burn it to a CD -- then burn the CD.


I love Stern and love Artie but don't waste your money on this movie. I saw it in the theater and should have walked out about 20 minutes in but stayed until the end. Artie can't deliver a line to save his life. Stick to the radio show Artie, that is what you do best. This sells because of Howard Stern. It has been commercialized like crazy because Artie Lange is a part of the Howard's show on Sirius Satellite Radio. He is not even that good on the show but is just my opinion. Cut to the movie, This is a bad movie! I would not mind if it was a mediocre movie but I'm actually returning it for a refund, that's how bad it was. Has no artistic value, was made for pure profits and to take advantage of Howard Stern Radio Show on Sirius - Free Advertizing.


It's really surprising that some people on this thread adore this film. It shows you how low standards have sunk. I watched this late night on Comedy Central (it was uncut and uncensored), and I was appalled at how awful it really is. Artie Lange has absolutely no presence as a leading man. He ends up ruining the film. Honestly, it's not that great of a script (big fat slob who has good looking girlfriend who wants him to get a real job, etc., etc..), but with a halfway decent actor, it might have been OK. But with Lange, it's complete garbage.

I had only heard of Artie Lange after a friend of mine sent me a clip of him at a Comedy Central roast of William Shatner. Artie Lange said at the roast that Lisa Lampinelli was seven bad movies away from being Janeane Garofalo (he also called Ms. Garofalo a f***ing c***, which shows you his maturity level). Well, Janeane has made some bad films, but nothing she's made compares to this garbage, and Janeane has tons of screen presence and is usually the best thing in the films she does. Many fans of Artie like him for his standup and appearances on Howard Stern, and say he's not really film/TV material. So perhaps Mr. Lange should just concentrate on standup and radio, and not do feature films.


Blatantly profane, smarmy attempt at a comedy, dealing with the uber-intense plot of a slovenly softball team trying not to get kicked out of their league. Perhaps if I grew up back east, where apparently close friends engage in non-stop insults of each other, their wives, and even small children. Or more importantly, was still a 14-year-old boy who could delight in laughing through a cupped hand at the hardcore sexual references. Maybe I'd be singing praises from a rooftop somewhere. Instead, I stared embarrassingly at the amateurish mess in front of me.

I'm sure the target audience will cherish their dvds, but the limited release is the tell-tale of how unacceptable this is to most crowds. It borders on the same humor that made "Virgin" and "Anchorman" hits, but those films --- though I hated them --- at least limited their vulgarity. This film just purposely goes for the throat in terms of tastelessness and constant four-letter dialogue.

It was good to see Macchio again (you could tell he asked that his cuss-words be kept to a minimum), and even Seymour Cassel play against type. But the casual nature of tossed off lines dealing with ejaculation and bj's was utterly desperate. And must we see another implausible romance between a hot slut and a greasy pudge? It's getting old. Did I mention the stripper that can launch ping-pong balls from her vagina? Nuff said.


As someone that was born and raised in New Jersey, a huge Howard Stern fan (back when it was free, that is), and a fan of both baseball movies and R-rated comedies, I had high hopes for this movie. Boy, was I off when I finally got to see this thing! The movie wasn't funny at all except for a few scenes here and there. The screenplay was more sitcom material than movie material where the comedic lines just don't sound natural at all. After one character says a "funny" line, it's followed by a silent beat as if it's allowing time for the audience to laugh before the story continues. What's that about??! Artie Lange's acting is horrible. He's no leading man and should just stick to supporting roles instead. It's a shame because some of biggest laughs I ever had in my life came from listening to the Howard Stern radio show which Artie helped tremendously when he was added to the show, but the comedy involved in Howard's show wasn't stale one-liners that fell flat. Instead, it was the realistic banter between everyone in the gang about their lives, arguing or busting each other's balls. You'd think Artie Lange would learn from his own radio show what would make a great comedy, but, no!, he chooses to make an 86-min. episode of The Artie Show instead.


There was much to be appreciated about this HK martial arts flick. The action was subordinate to the plot rather than the reverse as is the case in all too many martial arts films. The characters did have some emotional dimension as well. Its failing, however, was its failure to develop some plot lines to a conclusion. After watching the film, I immediately went online to discover the name of its sequel, but there is none. Maybe there was going to be one and finances did not permit it. I don't know. What I do know is that I felt cheated after it ended with no revelations about the missing daughter and without retribution for the jealous ninja who burned the place where the birthing occurred and contributed to her death. It was as if Kill Bill ended after Volume 1 and Volume 2 was never made. Don't watch this movie if you like plot lines to be wrapped up nice and tidy by the film's end.


I waited along time to see this film, and it was certainly not worth the wait. The story was too boring and slow, 80% of the movie was flash back and you don't really get a chance to relate to the characters, except for Wah Yin Hung. Plus could they please change the cast, this was the exact cast from Stormriders and the Young and Dangerous movies, can't they find some other actors? I think the audience is tired of seeing the same actors all the time. And Ekin cheng's performance in Stormriders was only average, Aron Kok did a much better job. Over all the film was a disappointment especially coming from the Stormriders team.


It is a very disappointed film. We have waited long to see a film of actions and effects, but the film makers delivered a lousy long story with made up politics. You have to waste the first hour for a weak story to develop. Nevertheless, the effects are still worth waiting for, just too short. And the ending also too standard and fast, just like all the HK films, the film makers seems to spend all the money and have to wrap up with anything on hand.

All in all, you should go to the cinema 60 mins after the show time and for the remains, don't expect too much, just watch effects.
