Urban Menace

My god what a waste of time. If my friends weren't trying to work through the bottom 100 movies there is no way I would have watched more than five minutes.

Beyond the bad special effects, the poor sound, the horrible script, the bad acting, and the lack of directing, this movie would still be the worst movie ever. At least in horror movies there is funny stuff happening (see "Food of the Gods, part II").

The highlight is Big Pun trying to talk since he is so damn fat he mostly just mumbles and wheezes so bad you can't tell what he is saying. Let me summarize the plot -- Snoop dog was a preacher burned in a church fire, he comes back from the dead a year later and kills a drug lord once a month thereafter.

Wow, unless you are doing a bad movie challenge stay as far away from this as possible.

that unfortunately thinks it's a serious film. This is quite simply the most incoherent piece of nonsense ever to come to DVD. No I'm not going to call it a film because it isn't one as it was shot on digital video and has a look which resembles video captured from a digital camera with Pyun's trademark blue filter. In all honesty though, it's not as unwatchable as Crazy Six and the dialogue, the acting, the editing and the fact that you'll probably have no clue as to what is going on makes this absolutely hilarious to watch, especially with the commentary track.

What this video (not, it's not a film) resembles is a home video of a bunch of idiots running around an empty building with paintball guns pretending to be gangsta and going completely over the top with their dialogue and using the f word at the end of every second word. I had no idea who was the good guys or who was the bad guys, if there were any good guys that is. The acting is hilarious, especially Big Pun's mumbling and fact that he's obviously reading off cue cards behind camera. This is one of the worst performances I've ever seen, rivalling only Anna Nicole Smith in Skyscraper and Mario Van Peebles in Exterminator 2. A good 80% of the dialogue consists of the words "f*ck", "motherf*cker" and "n*gger".

Probably the funniest thing is that Albert Pyun comes completely clean about how bad this video is in the commentary. He admits that several members of the cast never met and were edited together to make it look like they were in conversation which is funny, because that is exactly what it looks like. Something which I have suspected he has done in several of his films. He also admits that one of the characters running around in black is actually Snoop Dogg's stunt double and not him, which is necessary if for a second you thought of trying to make the tiniest bit of sense out of this nonsense, because I had no idea this was even meant to be him as it could quite easily have been one of the many gang members. Snoop Dogg was only there for a limited amount of time, he also tells us in case we hadn't already guessed that. Being the first billed character, his face only flashes on and off a few times and then appears at the end, and his stunt double fills in for the rest and believe me, if you don't listen to the commentary you probably won't even realize that the stunt double is supposed to be him. He also tells us that several scenes were the same corridors we saw earlier, just with all the factory mess rearranged and shot in the opposite direction which is exactly what it looks like!

There's also plenty of continuity errors. Such as how did this preacher become so skilled with weapons? In one scene he takes out what I counted to be 17 people in a corridor and apparently has eyes on the back of his head. While viewing it I noticed that one of them even collapses without being shot at in the sea of falling bodies. I could go on and on but it would take all day, so for now I'll just point out the church with the laughable CGI flames!

If you like seeing "filmmaking" at the very bottom end of the spectrum then I seriously recommend you to check out this. Honestly, if enough people see this I think it could be come a Grade Z classic in the future, it has all the makings of it. This video is a joke, nothing more, nothing less and if you have a sense of humour, then this DVD is a lot of fun! There is just simply no way to take this seriously, and the fact that those involved seem quite unaware of it only adds to it.

Oh, and there's a "Disclaimer" from Ice-T at the start but don't worry, much of the stuff he says in that doesn't even happen in the fi…sorry video!

I purchased this DVD & Driller Killer for 5 euro and expected something more than a compleat pile of crap. There is no story or plot.Urban Menace is a joke.I'm a fan of hip hop and usually find Ice T pretty lame but the tracks he used on this seem to be outtakes from his worst album.Snoop Dogg is rubbish and you would hardly know he was in it.Did he get paid $200 for an afternoons work? I give this 'film' one star simply because Fat Joe & Big Pun made me laugh with their rubbish 'acting'.If you could fix your DVD to only play the scenes with these two you could raise a smile. If you find the Urban Menace DVD lying in the street pass it by...a piece of burnt wood is more interesting.

To call this a movie is giving it much more credit than it deserves. I was given this movie to watch by someone who had not seen it (lucky them). I tried for at least 20 seconds to watch it, then decided to fast forward it and stop when something looked interesting - I challenge anyone to do this - no matter where you stop it will be the worst thing you've ever seen. I am amazed it made it to video - I know it never was seen in a theater because the audience would have burned down the place in protest for their money back. Now all I can do is talk about the fact that I know what the worst movie ever made is. I don't think anyone can actually watch this movie from beginning to end unless they are paid a lot of money or, they are on heavy drugs and as a result can not move to turn off the TV or unable to use the remote control. Is there a minus rating!? Here is the best reason for having that possibility. Hate someone - give them this movie as a gift from an anonymous admirer.

I bought this film on a double DVD with The Wrecking Crew for only one pound, so it's not like I broke the bank to buy it. Sadly this dosen't mean it wasn't a waste of money. When I saw the DVD I was really excited about the prospect of a film with not one but four high end rappers in it. I started the DVD and within minutes it became clear that this was possibly one of the worst pieces of cinema ever created. Not bad in a poorly scripted rom-com sort of way, but bad in a "could have been made by a child with their dad's camcorder sort of way. The camera work, scene direction and script make You've Been Framed look like a compilation of cinematic masterpieces. If I was ever to meet Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe or Ice T I would have to ask them why they decided to release the film despite the offence it has so clearly caused to hundreds. In defence of the film they did lose most of the final film reels on route back from Russia, so there's probably an person in France laughing as they watch the version of Urban Menace we were all meant to see. Until that comes to light please avoid this film like the plague and if you have to see it don't say I didn't warn you.
