Summary: This movie is sick and degrading!
Review: I Found this movie sick and degrading from begining to end. The part at the begining where the 2 little girls were raped by Uncle Sam was SICK. Also the part where Uncle Sam "entered" the woman with his frozen hat was sickening. Anyone who is sane will not approve of the scene where he walks into the school buliding and executes numerous children with a tommy gun. We wonder why Columbine happened it is because of sick movies like Uncle Sam. My son got sent home from school the next day for throwing a huge rock at some defensless little girl's head (This happens in this movie also). Overall this movie is sick and should be removed from shelves everywhere. If it were possible I would give it negative stars. If you can find a more sadistic movie than Uncle Sam don't show it to your children.

Summary: Psychotic Movie.
Review: I really enjoyed this movie it was chessy but at the same time kinda creepy.It made no sense that they would send a three year dead corpse to a family's house.I think this was the last of creative Horror Movies brutal deaths ,and funny one liners by Sam Harper.I thought the plot was good Though it never explains why he came back from the dead.Anyhow this a must have for any horror movie fan Collection.

Summary: Concerned Mother from Arkansas is a liar.
Review: I'm trying to figure out what this person who claims to be a Concerned Mother from Little Rock, Arkansas is talking about. They have obviously never seen this movie since none of those events that they report actually happend in this movie. These forums are not for playing around and posting crap like that. Amazon needs to ban your account and erase that post. You are sick and obviously need professional psychological help. Uncle Sam isn't a great horror movie. THe pacing is a bit too slow and there are way too many missed opportunities to elevate it to the status of quasi-parody. It is worth watching for a good laugh. If you are into MST3K, this is a perfect movie to collect your friends together and riff the heck out of. The commentary track is very nice.

Summary: Great Movie To Ridicule!!!
Review: If you and your friends like to occasionally rent movies simply to goof on them and pick fun at their cheapness, then this is a must! The horrible acting, crappy effects and the simple fact that its a dead guy dressed in an Uncle Sam costume is enough to make every minute full of laughs! I would not buy this video, but I would rent it. Check it out if you're bored and want to have some chuckles!

Summary: Horrible Horror film
Review: listen to me. If you like good horror movies then don't see this one. Only see this movie if you are in for a good laugh. The acting was extremely terrible, The deaths were nothing but the same old slasher flick murders, the thought of uncle Sam being a killer is rediculous and the stunts that were performed were clearly seen without a doubt which was hilarious. The stunt that made me laugh the most was at the end when Uncle Sam crashed through the burning house. Watch this movie and you will know what I am talking about. Overall this was a terrible horror film. Only see this if you feel like laughing.

Summary: Jody saves the day with "Chef" and a blind kid
Review: Little Jody Harper loves his Uncle Sam. That is, until Uncle Sam Harper kills people. I thought the movie was hilarious because we couldn't figure out Jody's gender for the first 45 minutes. The best line: "Quiet Jody, you're not helping." This occured when Jody tried to talk to his teacher about Uncle Sam. Oh yeah, Sam kills the teacher. This is a must for parties.

Summary: Just like smelling the milk when you know its sour.
Review: Ok, being that this was filmed in my hometown, I had to rent it. With that out of the way, it's kinda like a traffic accident, you know you should not slow down to take a look, but something inside you makes you want to look, such is Uncle Sam. Being a B-Movie buff, I've seen bad, and this is BAD with a capital B. If you're looking for great acting, lot's of horror and great gore effects, you'd be better off renting "Sorrority Babes at the Slime Ball Bowl-A-Rama" (which I DO recommend). This movie is a great plot gone wrong. It's not scary, the gore is terrible, and the acting is right out of your fourth grade Christmas play. In fact it takes 45 minutes before the gore even starts. I'm sorry but if I rent a horror movie,I like things to get a little bloody before I'm ready to pop in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!". But!!!! There is one redeeming quality about this movie, if you and a group of friends are bored on a Friday night and you want to watch a horror movie and add a little dialog of your own, then this is the movie for you, because this movie screams for audience intervention! Believe me, I wanted this movie to be a B-movie bonanza, but sadly it's a B-movie BOMB!. The movie box reads "Uncle Sam Wants You.....Dead..." It should read "Uncle Sam Wants You and Your Video Rental Money!" Take Care! Haunted Mansion

Summary: B Movie Gold
Review: Sam Harper went to the Persian Gulf War with a wife in the States and a belly full of hate. His chopper crashed in the desert, a victim of friendly fire, and it took three years to find his body. Now Harper is back home in a metal coffin with a wife who no longer wants to remember him and a nephew who thinks his uncle's sacrifice is the height of honor. Sam's hatred of those who besmirch American values is enough to bring him back to life, and now his hometown of Twin Falls is about to pay a heavy price when this soldier awakens to settle some scores. During the course of Harper's bloody rampage, his nephew Jody learns that a love of death is a poor substitute for love of one's country. Everything reaches a head at the July 4th celebration when bodies start to fall like rain. This is the fundamental plot of William Lustig's bloody 1997 horror film "Uncle Sam." Starring a cast of notables including Bo Hopkins, Isaac Hayes, Robert Forster, and Timothy Bottoms, Lustig's homage to misguided patriotism delivers on several levels while failing on several more. One thing that works here is the gore, with a nasty looking broken leg, an impalement with an American flag, TWO guys on fire, a beheading, and a hatchet in the head. I also liked the look of Sam Harper as a desiccated zombie who dispatches anyone he considers unpatriotic. Although we don't see Harper for most of the movie because he's dressed in a cheesy Uncle Sam outfit, look for the scene where a dead Harper pins medals on his bare chest. The sound effects in this scene and when Sam walks are unsettling, as he squelches and crackles with every step. I think most gorehounds will like a lot of what they see in terms of special effects in this movie. Throw in Isaac Hayes as a one-legged aging war veteran who feels guilty about glorifying war, Timothy Bottoms as a draft-dodging teacher, and Bo Hopkins as a sleazy Army sergeant and you have B movie gold. Unfortunately, "Uncle Sam" founders with laughable dialogue and plot holes you could sail the British Navy through. I should vacillate here and mention that a pathetic and fragmented script may go either way. If you don't like to laugh at movies unless they are comedies, then the failings of Lustig's film will bother you. However, if you are like me and occasionally find cheesy dialogue funny, "Uncle Sam" may fit the bill. I laughed repeatedly as this movie lurched and shuddered to its conclusion. Allow me to make a few comments on some of the more implausible scenes and interactions in this movie. I will only mention a few, but anyone with a sharp eye could easily list more: How does Sam Harper get out of his casket? I understand that Jody undid one of the latches the first time he messed with it, but later we see two latches when Jody and Jed Crawley check to see if Harper is still in his coffin. Besides, Sergeant Twining told us in the beginning of the film that the coffin is 'sealed.' Doesn't this mean there are more than a couple of easily turned latches keeping the casket closed? I have never, ever, witnessed a gunnysack race where the sacks cover the entire person's body. As if that is not enough, the racecourse goes through the woods where roots, huge fallen logs, and steep hills challenge the contestants. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't think of jumping through a forest in a gunnysack, let alone allow my kids to do so. But they are doing it here, and you can hear people grunting and yelling in pain when they fall down. This scene is so ridiculous you cannot help but laugh at it. What's up with Barry? Is he Strangelove's kid? Barry appears late in the film; a blind, wheelchair bound youth permanently scarred in a fireworks accident the previous year. Apparently, Barry is psychic, as he always knows what's going to happen with Sam Harper before anyone else does. Not only that, but Crawley and Jody haul him along when they return to the house where Harper's casket lies. Why take a kid in a wheelchair into a potentially life threatening situation? Incredibly, they always leave Barry sitting outside alone when they run around the house or go to fetch a weapon to use against Sam. Barry's in a wheelchair, for goodness sake! How will he defend himself if confronted by Uncle Sam? The capper occurs when Crawley positions himself outside the house with a cannon (!) waiting for Jody to lure Sam outside. Crawley growls "I can't fire with that kid in the way," and Barry replies, "Go ahead and fire. He'll get out of the way!" WHAT? How do you know that, Barry? Oh, I forgot. He's psychic. Barry may well be one of the creepiest characters in film history. I could go on forever with the bloopers and blunders in nearly every scene of this movie. I'm being a little harsh, but overall I really liked "Uncle Sam." I can't help it; this movie is just too funny to hate. I watched the "Special Edition" widescreen DVD version, which includes a trailer and a commentary with Isaac Hayes and William Lustig. I listened to a good portion of this commentary, and Bill Lustig is almost childlike with joy over "Uncle Sam." His enthusiasm for filmmaking is infectious. Give "Uncle Sam" a chance; it's great, cheesy fun.
