S.S. Doomtrooper

An incomprehensible mess that attempts both a WW2 battle story and a sci-fi creature story. It achieves neither.

Weird science performed by a loony Nazi scientist (an embarrassed Ben Cross) turns a WW2 Nazi soldier into Hulk's blue cheap-fx cousin. His veins are neon, his face contorted. He growls and grunts a lot. He croaks everybody he sees: French Resistance, Americans, British, Nazis, lousy actors, mad scientists, bad scriptwriters, SCI-FI channel fans, and anybody else he can find. Soldiers futilely shoot the thing until it kills them. One idiot punches the creature after seeing how invincible it is.

The CGI technology used to animate the creature is about equal to the 1970's "Ping Pong" video game. The battle scene choreography looks like "Saving Private Ryan" meets "Saved by the Bell." The acting is atrocious, the script disjointed and aimless.

WW2 action and sci-fi fail to blend in this story, and both elements suffer. So does the audience.

Well, if the title doesn't enlighten you as to the appalling nature of this film, allow me to try. SS Doomtrooper is a massive blue monster who is created by some evil Nazi scientists. Somehow. A normal guy goes into a curious looking chamber and comes out as SS DOOMTROOPER! As far-fetched as turning a normal man into a 18 foot blue monster with lightning coursing through his biceps sounds, what really takes the biscuit is the fact that he has somehow managed to generate armour and a ridiculously over-sized cannon.

The bit that confused me was that if the Nazis were capable of creating such a powerful weapon, they would have won the war anyway, without the need for a creature that can take a tank shell to the chest point blank and carry on moving.

Go and see it!

this was the worst film i have ever seen and I've seen a lot of movies. SS Doomtrooper was such a bad film it has prompted me to write my first comment on IMDb. the acting was terrible, the storyline was worse and the animation was about as well done as a five year old with an etch-a-sketch. if you like you films with good acting, script and production then this is definitely not a movie for you, your family or anyone you have ever met or will meet. on the plus side the film is only 86 minutes of hell and not more. STAY AWAY. there are numerous instances where continuity errors should be seriously flagged as if the director, producers and script writers wrote different random scripts, shoved them into a shotgun, fired them into the air and had an intern go around and piece together a useless script and even then i think they lost that script and made most of it up. one more thing that was very poor about this film, except everything, was that a lot of the voices appeared dubbed and the accents the actors used, when for example pretending to be British, were about as accurate as a blind raccoon with a sniper rifle.

I think this is the most ridiculous movie ever. It was so bad you couldn't even laugh at it. Basic plot: mad German scientist makes a cross between Hulk and Juggernaut in a Wolfenstein/Top Secret(without the humour) setting. Extended plot: none!

I normally think that, even in the worst cases, someone tries to make a movie stick to the audience, either through emotional scenes, good ideas, acceptable special effects, good actors. But in this case, not one of these things happened. The CGI was worst ever, I mean the graphics in average video games are better. The dialogues were stunningly stupid. The actors had the most horrible fake accents and the acting was simply non existing.

I also believe this is a satanic movie. Played backwards, it might make some sort of sense. In a normal setting, though, it plain sucks! This is worst than even cult movies. They at least showed the desire to make a movie. This was... I don't know what it was. I am still in shock.

Another bag of Brain Fritos from the maestros of Grade Z cable television. A Nazi mad scientist (Cross) uses "atomic radiation" (as opposed to chocolate radiation) to turn a SS soldier into a mindless, invulnerable killing monster. Learning of Herr Krankendocktor's lab, the Americans recruit Captain America--er, Malloy (Nemic)--to assemble a team & go on an Alistair MacLean Mission to destroy the lab. Usually, when Heroes take on Mad Scientists in their Mad Labs, there's some mixture of action, suspense, tragedy, maybe even wonder or romance. Unfortunately, but as usual in Sci-Fi Channel Originals, the monster is revealed in the VERY FIRST SCENE, guaranteeing a complete absence of surprises. Nevertheless this film is outstanding in a few ways, not all good by any means. Nemic & a few others are better actors than this turkey deserves and they occasionally get it aloft for a few minutes. The special effects are cheap but mostly well done, a fine but somewhat wasted quality of most Sci-Fi productions, considering the lame scripts. What makes "Doomtrooper" interesting is how astonishingly bad it is in so many ways, especially its unabashed--nay, determined--method of ripping off other films. The monster is an amalgamation of the Hulk, Godzilla, "Resident Evil's" Nemesis & the Predator. The team is made up of attitudinal Army convicts, a "Dirty Half-Dozen," although some of its actors had better hope that John Cassevetes never finds them in the afterlife. Cross may have the dubious distinction of being the first actor to emulate Bela Lugosi's Ed Wood period (Lugosi's accent was more convincing). Trivia buffs, watch this with friends & see who can accurately pinpoint the most ripoffs. Then watch it again & see who can point out the most factual errors--there are so many that it's pointless to even begin to list them here. I still can't believe that Sci-Fi bailed on the last season of "Farscape" yet still pushes these embarrassing "originals" that are a letdown on every level (there isn't even any sex, the one easy exploitation that has a chance of rescuing a lame science fiction story). Strange are the ways of cable television! But, if that's how it has to be, let's play along. How about some sequels called "Frankenfuhrer," or "Germanzilla," or maybe "Resident Nazi?" Or...not?
