Avis à la une
This movie is about a bunch of trainees go for survival training in the woods where they encounter a squad of paramilitary force and their training turns into a real fight for survival.The action is top notch and so is the acting.I give this movie **** out 5*****.
SURVIVAL QUEST was Don Coscarelli's exploitation of my Merc School. I had advised on one of his earlier films, and he was interested in doing a film about paramilitaries chasing some tourists out west.
I have him actual info on my school, and his writers split our one school into two, a "good" survival course, and a "bad" paramilitary training course, in order to have a conflict between them.
Coscarelli even went so far as to recreate scenes of our training taken from "60 Minutes" videotape.
If you combine the good and bad schools of the movie, you have an idea of what Merc School was really like.
For Merc School grads, SURVIVAL QUEST is both tribute and comedy.

"Survival Quest" has enough originality and inspired photography to maintain interest throughout. What separates this film from similar, inferior efforts, is the strong character development. At first, things move rather slowly, as we get to know the strangers from the city who have signed on for the survival course. Once the paramilitary squad begins stalking them, the action comes at a rapid pace. The acting is above average for a low budget film, especially Lance Henriksen and Mark Rolsten. This ranks right up there with a similar little known hunted in the woods film, "Hunter's Blood", and is recommended viewing for action fans. - MERK
I know its a cult classic so most people haven't even heard of it. But I like this movie been watching this flick since I fixed it while working at a video store. It has little story and mediocre acting so don't look for an award winning performances. Lance plays a wilderness guide and he does a good job, most other characters are just there. The exact same story is on an episode of Macguyver and there is a part of a far superior movie hidden in it. Oh yeah the premise is based on some kind of an Indian rite or some such. That is just filler there is no substance just turn your brain of and enjoy. Oh yeah assuming this ever got put on DVD or instant.
Cult filmmaker Don Coscarelli has brought us such films as the "Phantasm" Tetralogy, "The Beastmaster" and "Bubba Ho-Tep" but a film he did in the last 80s seemed to go by mostly unnoticed
and maybe it was thought to be the usual routine woodland survival outing. In some regards this survival adventurer is, but what makes this one work is the fighting character dynamics, a thoughtful script and the always dependable Lance Henriksen. "Survival Quest" follows a group of strangers (one just happening to be an ex-convict played by Dermont Mulroney) from the city battling the wilderness in the North Rockies Survival Quest School led by their resourceful instructor Frank (Henriksen). However nearby is another group (paramilitary), lead by an aggressively hard-nose and demanding instructor (played by Mark Rolston with cynically great ticker). These two schools / groups are at total opposites (extremely so -- one relying on trust while the other sees fit to only look after one's own self) to each other in what they teach (one to embrace your surrounding while the other to dominate in its forceful actions) and from that an encounter occurs where it becomes a struggle to stay alive for Frank's group against an armed, unstable squad (Steve Antin is good as the instigator). The plot slowly hangs off its characters --- building up relationships, developing mindsets (cementing self-confidence) so when it gradually builds up to its explosive confrontations and then the trek becomes a bloody survival course it really pulls you in as you put some much time into the characters that you want to see them get through it. What starts of as a battle against mother nature (what looks beautiful can just be as dangerous), becomes something much more. As their training comes into play, as their team morale to not leave anybody behind which drives them home. Its good to have strength and stamina, but it's nothing without spirit
and that's the difference between the two groups. "
it's a matter of heart. Not hardware." To use and respect the power of your surroundings/the wilderness to adapt. Writer / director Coscarelli's resiliently tight direction commendably balances out the character developing staples and the excitingly tension-fuelled cat and mouse exchanges. Some witty scenes are a nice cover too. Another striking attraction would be that of the rugged, but eye-catching locations which is always scenically shot. The performances can feel a little awkward, but it's a likable bunch with Catherine Keener, Traci Lind, Dominic Hoffman, Paul Provenza and a special guest appearance by Reggie Bannister. A fine, under-seen terrain adventure caper.
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesActor Dermot Mulroney (Gray) and actress Catherine Keener (Cheryl) married three years after they starred together in this movie. They divorced after 17 years, and they have a son together.
- GaffesAs the start, the plane pilot castigates Gray for smoking near the fuel tanks. Which shows he's an actor, not an aviator. AV fuel has an extremely high flash point. You could drop a lit cigarette onto AV fuel and it still wouldn't catch alight.
