On the topic of bad Italian movies. Does a very obscure straight to video Italian knock off of Top Gun with added UFOs from a former Giallo director appeal to you? Well it did to me too and the excellent Italian Air Force footage at the start worked well too. Unfortunately that was the best bit about this film which can be summed up thusly. Two pilots in (mysteriously unspecified) air force on a test mission run into weird lights and one of the planes crashes. The surviving pilot is disciplined and spends most of the rest of the film moping around, talking about UFOs with Patsy Kensit then deciding to trek into the mountains to investigate, at this point the movie decides... 'hey f*** you' for enduring all that and s***s out the most horribly insulting ending of all time. So much entertaining potential and nothing comes of it at all. Stay away from this one (after reading my illustrated Blue Tornado review). Unfortunately the second part of my Top Gun knock-off collection is not much better. It is silly to expect too much from a Jim Wynorski film and at least there are some pretty impressive jet flying and explosion scenes in this film, plus a helicopter/biplane chase. Pity the script makes no sense - for a top secret undercover operation to bomb and Iraqi missile site, the Air Force decide to get together a rag tag bunch of fired and retired pilots (because flying a modern fighter jet is so easy). Even the most casual viewer would surely be distracted by the ridiculous plot flaws throughout this one. Desert Thunder review.

Prom Night (1981, Paul Lynch). The moral of this seems to be that if you want it enough you shall live out your dreams....... Expect a slew of X Factor based slashers shortly then haha. The disco sequence which distressed me so as a youngster now seems rather cute, excusing JLC's lack of riddim natch. Doom (2005, Andrzej Bartkowiak). Considering how many times the word "game" is mentioned in the script, you would think that they were trying to tell you something. But I'm being churlish, tis only a action film after all cough. Rosamund Pike patents her startled deer expression, Dwayne does his startled actor impression and Bones looks perplexed. Such a shame that the film contains none of the breathless excitement that playing the game entails. Humbug!!

I for one wanted it to be a run about romp where the hero fights all kind of beasts like these. I'm very old skool though. |
