Ancient Warriors

Summary: DON'T LET THE TITLE ENTICE YOU
Review: ...because the ANCIENT WARRIORS have little to do in this truly terrible movie. Former bodybuilder Franco Columbu has managed to make Arnold Schwarzenegger look like Laurence Olivier. His "performance" is one of the worst acting leads on celluloid. He plays a mercenary whose father is killed during a botched operation. A year later, he moans around the house about his father's death and volunteers at a school for retarded children, where his daughter is one of the students. Under the inept direction of Walter von Huene, this poor young lass comes across as comical; whether she's truly retarded or not, the script doesn't seem to want to do anything but exploit her "gift." Anyway, Columbu finds out that a local mining operation is really a covert operation for the making of chemical warfare, under the auspices of long time bad man Richard Lynch. Lynch, who is usually a capable performer, spends most of his time coughing into a hanky, as he has some kind of mysterious disease that is going to kill him. Enter the "ancient warrior" theme: supposedly they have some magic potion that will cure him but it's buried somewhere deep in the mines. His son, played by Andy Mackenzie, tries hard to be a Mike or Kirk Douglas clone but only manages to come across as badass and bad actor. A chunky Daniel Baldwin plays Columbu's best friend and fellow mercenary who calls the boys (and girl) together to help Franco stop the nefarious Lynch and Mackenzie. Iris Peynado looking like the latest release from a dog kennel plays the vixenish, somewhat asexual psychic who is aiding Lynch. The movie moves at an incredibly lethargic pace, the fight scenes are staged very amateurishly and the whole thing is really an embarassment to all involved. I don't think ancient warriors themselves could have saved this catastrophic misfire.

Summary: What the hell?
Review: So the cover has some dudes with guns on it and a big skeleton skull with a viking looking helmet on. There is NEVER a single skeletal warrior in this movie. It's a bunch of fat, old, ex commando types getting revenge on some old guy. None of the actors know how to use a gun. People die constantly, and you never really figure out why.

Basically, this old guy gets killed, then his son gets angry, then the guy that killed his dad trys to kill him and hits his wife. Then the guy gathers up his fat friends to kill the old guy. However, the old guy they wanna kill is apparently trying to build some chemical weapon. I have no idea why they threw this in. It has nothing to do with anything. The guys that want the old guy dead don't even care about the stupid weapon.

Basically, this movie would never have been made if it didn't have some fat Baldwin that no one remembers in it.

Review: The DVD box makes you think this is a movie about Delta Force against ressurected ghost warriors. In reality its about a bunch of overweight, out of shape ex-commandos running around with machine guns killing the same half a dozen stunt men over and over. The 'Ancient Warriors' of the title appear in the last 30 seconds of the movie. All they do is fade in, look mean and fade out again. Don't even waste money renting this one.

Summary: A waste of plastic and metal...Please remember to recycle.
Review: This film is poorly edited, the transfer to DVD is poor, and the actual picture is grainy - like they used cheap film to make it. The story is about a mercenary who is after another mercenary who killed his father; he is really bad because he is messing with chemical weapons and ancient European tombs (which explains the title).

Don't waste a minute watching this.
