Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WHAT A SAD JOKE
Review: First the sound, well its 'pcm' at a very high distorted level, pic-quality? put is like this - its a cheap old movie copied complete with old film scratches onto dvd, some of the acting is ok but the action is thin, for the money well maybe buy it, but you sure will not be watching this movie often.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This is a "Must Miss" extraveganza!
Review: If you're a Brandon/Bruce Lee fan to the core, just buy this thing, watch it once and be done (Kind of like watching Game of Death only you don't feel tremendously violated after watching it). I saw this movie last year and even though I cringed, it was good to see the late Brandon Lee in something that was "new" to me. If you want a cookie cutter action flick with a bad romance plot, this is the one for you! Also, if you want to be amazed at how many bullets can actually miss an action hero, then this INDEED is the one for you! Believe you me, the sheer amount of bullets that miss Brandon will make your head spin. Talk about point blank!

Summary: Laser Mission Review
Review: It's a classic 80's U.S. vs. U.S.S.R flick, unfortunately, it was made after the Soviet Union collapsed. Beau Davis' poor selection of plot and sub-plot leave the viewer wondering not only the background of the characters, but the future of them as well. Brandon Lee plays Michael Gold, a 007 wanna-be, whose luck with flying projectiles rivals only that of the Road Runner. Granted, it is nice to see Lee in another movie besides his well known (The Crow and Rapid Fire), but one can easily see why this movie didn't captivate the audience. His acting ability doesn't show at all, as if he simple walked through the set reading his lines off teleprompters. Ernest Borgnine acting never seems to grow passed that of a childs, and Debi Monahan, whose more popular appearance being in 1991's Shattered with Tom Beringer, shows little talent when it comes to the silver screen, but weilds a gun and high heels as Lee's secretive partner. My suggestion when it comes down to this movie, wait til it comes out on A.B.C. or N.B.C. or another TV station that costs you nothing to watch. Rating TV...

Summary: It's funny for the wrong reasons.
Review: Of all my time spent on Friday night watching a movie or two, one time was quite rememberable. Enjoyable so. I put in this movie into my DVD player, hoping to see some Brandon Lee class and exciting action, but in this little gem we saw his satirical side. The whole movie was a thrill ride, that frankly, didn't end, and made me want to puke. I'm not sure if the puke came from the absense of acting, staging, plot transitions, wit, generativity, a budget above triple digits, or the little game me and my buds played during the course of the movie. We called it "Take A Shot of Beer Every Time A White Dot or Square Appears on the Top Right Hand Corner of the Screen Or We Catch Glimpses of the Stage Crew". One drunk night...

Some one explain to me how they got from Cuba to South Africa. Hell, since realism isn't a factor in that movie, I suspect they drove. This movie also seems to defy medical science, since anyone beat-up/crushed/shot full of two clips/centered in explosion will obviously live, until they are droven into a magical brick wall.

I've said enough, and to end, I say "Watch this movie".

Its funny for the wrong reasons.

Summary: Not much of a try.
Review: This is beyond question the worst movie ever created by a human being. I have never seen anything that I consider to be more poorly done. The entirety of the movie's budget seems to have been spent on casting Ernest Borgnine - which is fortunate, as none of the other "actors" are the least bit capable, except Brandon Lee, who clearly isn't even trying. I've seen better cinematography from camcorders. Also, the "special" effects are questionable at best, the chase scene has all the enthusiasm of a college student eating ramen noodles cooked a week prior, and at some point, they manage to get from Cuba to somewhere in Africa without ever telling the audience. Furthermore, the female "lead" has a most amazing item: a isappearing-reappearing bra. Though her clothing only comes off once (off camera), her bra, as near as we the viewer can tell, is present only every other scene. It disgusts me that this movie was ever released, and the fact that it is now on DVD, where it will never biodegrade, makes me weep for humanity's future.

However.

This is by far the most ludicrously fun cinematic experience I have *ever* had, and I heartily endorse making unsuspecting fools watch this movie. If you can stomach it.

Good luck.

Summary: HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is so sad I don't even know how I can tell you how much this movie SUCKED! I am a Brandon Lee fan if you buy this flick it's just to add on to Brandon's small collection. It's a shame Brandon's talents were wasted in this CRAPPY film. The Director should finde another job! Who ever wrote the story should never write agen, the whole movie was just done bad! If I had the equipment I would have done a way better job! They should of let Brandon do all the fight seens how he whanted, but Noooooh they had him do 3 punches and one silly kick! The action could had made up for the cheesy plot, but they dont know Sh!*@?! about action! NUFF SAID

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb!
Review: This movie is a real dud. How Brandon Lee ever got involved with this ... is beyond me. No fight scenes and a dull, slow-moving plot.

Trust me, NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY TO SEE THIS ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie for fans of Brandon Lee
Review: This movie was made close enough to the 80s when all the best action movies were made, and it shows. Brandon Lee fans don't have a large list of movies to choose from, so I was pleased to find out that in this movie he doesn't disappoint. He shows a lot of his good natured personality and sense of humor in the film, which is great to see. There is some slapstick humor thrown in, and that takes some of the edge off of the sometimes violent action. In the action department this movie rivals Showdown in Little Tokyo with gunplay, knife fighting, and physical fighting. There is a good amount of Brandon in the movie, so fan's of his will not want to miss this one. The film is not as slickly shot as Rapid Fire, but I woulndn't compare this film to that one, because they were made four years apart, and the action type movies were starting to change [around 1994], so I view this as kind of a 1980's style action movie (the film was made in 1990, so it just makes the cut). There's something about that style of movie that is still nice to see.
