Summary: Not as bad as they say!
Review: As far as B-movies go, this one was pretty good. Dice's role wasn't really intended to be funny, but he does use some of his classic lines (including the greeting card bit from 40 Too Long). There are also a few hilarious arguments between Dice and another undercover cop (who has a pretty funny monologue about Sipowitz from NYPD Blue). Overall, you can't go wrong in a movie that has beautiful female bodybuilders, Andrew Dice Clay, and Fred Williamson. It was a better movie than Brain Smasher, and the action sequences hold up to any other martial arts B-movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: only thing that keeps it from a one star is DICE!
Review: As mentioned by others, this is pretty bad. I think B action movies are worse that B-horror movies. It is also boring at time, no classic DICE lines in this either. The one African American head cop (or what ever he was) was one of the worse actors I ever seen: as soon as he said his lines he was so over acting i laughed my but off (only funny thing in the movie) Anyway, glad I did not rent this, or own it, i caught it on cable TV, i would never buy it. BTW - Dice needs to add hair color to his side burns, they look stupid!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Be Advised! Boring Movie!
Review: I picked up this DVD with no expectations.

But, what happened Dice? This movie worse than any low-budget TV cop series.

Well, what can I say? Boring Plot, Dice Clay is not funny (or even trying). This movie will probably rest in peace at the lower shelves of the video-rentals. The producers could cut the movie down to 22 mins, and send it on cable too squeeze more money out of it.

I did not find this movie entertaining. Because it is not original.

BE ADVISED
DONT BUY IT, AND DONT EVEN BOTHER TO SEE IT

My disc is in the thrash (I needed the cover to some other purpose). Go see Blue Streak instead if you like the Cop/comedy routine.

Summary: First time directing?
Review: The first (and only) time I watched this movie left me in shock. Primarily because I couldn't believe someone would pay money to get this movie made. The producers are probably still banging their heads against the wall for this one.

The script sounds like a sixth grader with a foul mouth wrote it. Andrew Clay displays his lack of acting and humor over and over. There are so many useless pieces of information and dialogue it's almost if this were to be taken as a joke. The direction was probably non-existant as was any type of cinematography. I could have choreographed the action sequences better, as they were painfully slow and contrived.

I'll admit that only the best of the action genre movies appeal to me. If the fist fights and bad one-liners were to be the main focus of the movie and not the plot, I was doomed from the beginning.

Summary: Good Victoria Pratt effort
Review: The movie is not horrible, but you should choose almost ANYTHING else to watch if you have 2 hours to kill. Having said that, if you like Victoria Pratt as much as I do, it's worth buying for your Vicky collection. She's in about 7 scenes, always wearing skin-tight, hot outfits, especially the gym scenes. Get the DVD for easier access to her scenes and so that you won't have to watch the movie itself more than once. Her physique is buff, like it was in "John Woo's Once a Thief." A little fuller than her lean and cut Sarge character in "Cleopatra 2525." Victoria is a very big reason, other than Pam, to say "thank you, Canada!"
