What the...They set up the taser scene and never went there... Odd....

Segal made good with the chief, accepted his partner, DMX's bro is freed...Wow, what an incredible ending. Really. Wow. That was amazing. What a great movie. I wish I could get my two hours back. Yet, about 6 minutes into it I knew it would suck...Suppose I can only blame myself.

...No taser scene, and DMX took out supercop...WTF....
On 7/21/05, Jake Winter wrote:
Wow, they did one thing right. Segal threw the chopper's ladder around some pipe in the roof, but the chopper didn't crash as a result. Somehow the ropes of the ladder broke and our semi-arch villan is falling now. Doubt he'll die, but the chopper didn't crash because of it. I'm a bit suprised by this one.

You know, I was hoping more for this final battle showdown. This is pathetic...AND THE VILLIAN GETS A ...Sprinkler to the head!
Oh, wait, this is setting up the taser scene I'll bet. Current will pass through the water, and take out the bad guy, just as he's about to shoot our pathetic hero, Segal...

FYI, this is all going on Above Top Secret. I don't want anyone to go through the pain I just went through (and will still be going through until it ends) and need to share this commentary.

Naturally there's a chopper waiting...

Jeeze! They did a sword grab move and they didn't even have the decency to use the palm catch! The bad guy simply grabbed the sword with both hands, pushed it away, and came away without a cut.

Sword fight has wires and everything. Rifle battle didn't last as long, because that was the sidekick battle.
On 7/21/05, Jake Winter < [email protected]> wrote:
Looks like super evil cop is about to learn DMX a lesson in gun fighting -- without any bullets. We have a sword fight on one end, and a shotgun fight without ammo on the other side. How could this movie get any worse? Wait and find out, I have high hopes for this one.

Oh my gosh, we have a sword fight.

Oh my gosh! There's another shocker! You know how they, typically in Hollywood, will repeat an explosion from multiple angles? Well, in this movie every car that is bumped or shot blew up, so they had to think of something else. Segal avoided someone shooting him by using a fire extinguisher from multiple angles. That was AWFUL! I'm still waiting for the taser scene...

And now, of course, all the "real" police backup from his old job show up, because Segal knew, despite any reasoning from the movie, that his old boss was the mastermind. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

Whoop, less than that, it's the disgruntled "I been laying my life on the line for the force for far too long" cop.
On 7/21/05, Jake Winter < [email protected]> wrote:
Before it goes there, Orrin Hatch...Er, Segal, just called his old boss for backup. His boss showed up by himself, and said he didn't know who to trust. I'm going to go out on a limb now, and say he's the mastermind. Call me crazy...Expect an email in about 5 minutes confirming this...

These people are amazing with pistols! In a high speed chase, no bullet is more than 5 inches from it's target!

Yep, romantic interest at the final showdown, it looks like. She gonna be shot. Not killed, though, the romantic relationship hasn't developed enough yet.

Slightly unexpected, our sympathetic villian turned out to be trying to set up the dirty cops. I expected he had been blackmailed.

DUDE! One highlight -- a fight scene was done to the song from Heat at that awesome gun battle! It made me think of heat, so this scene is awesome.
Watch SLC Punk, even if you have to order it online or get your ass back to Illino-wah. That movie kicks ass!

Car doors open one scene, next scene they're closed. Dude's hitting a bunch of cars right after the door closes, though it should have been ripped off. This movie must have been written by a complete genius and directed by a bigger one.

Oh, by the way, they made a comment about what people think about "Uncle Toms". You know, African-Americans who work with the system instead of killing cops to make their money.

hehe Every suit DMX could choose from was blue to black, except for one red one. Guess which one I guessed he would wear, and guess which one he wore?

Segal, who couuld take 50k volts, could take a chair busted over his head, could take several broken bones without missing a day of police work, was somehow knocked out by an airbag.

Yep, think I gotta call, I'm at that stage of drunkenness, and realized I needed a smoke. Tomorrow when you're reading this, you'll understand the phone call.
Did I mention this movie is terrible? I think I may watch the storm...Rain is far more exciting...

Oh my gosh! I didn't think it would go this south! The rich white conservative dude is the guy the romantic interest is currently dating! Will they not use a cliche in this movie? They may not. They may not have the hero's child killed by the criminal right before the big showdown since the hero ain't got no kids.
Why am I still watching this?

Wow. Cop is the super villian. Let me try to recover from my shock...Wait, that's not shock, that's boredom.

I was right, we got some Street Fighter action going on here. Actually, we have som My Hero action goin' on, if you remember that game. Segal punched Mr. Sumo, and he flies horizontal for about 10 feet before breaking through...You guessed it, plate glass windows.

"Him [a cop]? I heard he once pulled a rabid doberman off a little kid and killed it with his bare hands. He went undercoiver with the KKK and took out an entire cell all by himself."

And the 9 year old hostage is remarkably calm running through sprays of gunfire coming from two guys (one of which Segal missed when taking aim from about 10 yards away, so I'm sure that one's important) as Segal leads her, standing, I might add, to the emergency exit
Uhg, this movie is something awful!

And! And he's a dead on shot when looking the other way when shooting a little gloc pistol from about 100 yards. Good thing that guy ducked away, because the little cloud of dust was right where his head was!
Oh, by the way, this movie is terrible!

Now there's a taser contest, and Segal's about to participate, it looks like. I guess we're setting up for the final battle, eh?
Oh yeah, by the way, this movie is terrible.
On 7/20/05, Jake Winter < [email protected]> wrote:
So this dude is going after Segal with a circular saw after trying to shoot him in the head. Almost cuts him in half several times, but naturally Segal subdues him. As soon as he gets him cuffed, the guy trying to kill him explains that he's a cop, so Segal gets demoted to traffic cop.
Did I mention this is a terrible movie?

So I'm watching Exit Wounds (I know, but I got it with Collatoral Damage for $14, and I think that movie is hilarious), and you know what? Steven Segal is a horrible actor! Even beyond the words, even beyond the martial arts (which is debatable), he's terrible, and I think I finally put my finger on it. He acts like he's the big man, like he's important, deadly, and all that, and it shows. He acts like it. There are people, like Bruce Willis or ... can't think of his name, where the tough, confident, and dangerous walk and attitude appears to come across naturally. Like they're really self confident, and they don't have to act like it. Jet Li's like that, too. I figured out why I really can't stand Steven Segal's acting -- he's a bully. He tries to act so tough, and it's super apparent, when you study that little wuss, that he doesn't feel the part at all. It's all a show, and it comes through.
Just thought I'd share that with you...I think I may watch Die Hard instead -- got all three of them for $20, and I would have paid that for the first movie. Whoop. You know, I like Bruce Willis. Even in...Crap, whatever that name of the movie is where he's the world's greatest cat burgler and it got horrible reviews but I enjoyed it...Hudson Hawk, that's it. (didn't feel like deleting, that would require time or the mouse). Even in that movie he had that demeanor, though he tried to hide it slightly behind a comical front. Way to go, Bruce, you kick ass!

When the sylinder on Horsel Common opems,it seems like the 25th century Teletubbies,sorry,the Martians,were having trouble getting their fishing poles,sorry,tentacles out of the can,er,ship.Then the heat ray device,looking awfully similar to my ex's cosmetic mirror,starts warping amd shaking,almost to the point of being broken,by this 25th century TinkieWinkie.The effects are all,super imposed,so these people on the edge,hit by the heat ray,just dance around in the super imposed flames, saying "OOh,Aaaagh" before turning into plastic skeletons,that sertainly have more acting capabilities,since they start really,writhing in agony,not realising that they are already dead!Damn,to think i spent ten bucks on this DVD.That's about an eigth of a tank of gas!! :w:

The new National Lampoon Movies, anything that doesn't have Vacation attached to it has sucked recently. All they are are boob fests and bad sex jokes. No problem with boobs, but still, if I spend money on a movie I want to be entertained.
