Rangers

Okay...this movie is terrible. However, I'd almost have to recommend it. First of all, the plot holes are hilarious. Second, just watching the main characters fire their guns is hours of entertainment -- they are so afraid that they can hardly keep their eyes open. But best thing about this movie takes planning, patience, and heavy drinking. Go and rent this, Navy Seals, Red Heat, and Invasion USA. Watch all of them, saving Rangers for last. You will fall out of your seat laughing, especially if you've planned the proper refreshments. Nearly every action scene in Rangers is cut directly from the other three movies. Not copied, cut directly. In order to retain some semblance of continuity, the piss-poor actors of Rangers have to change costumes three times in the opening action sequence to match the clothes with the actors in the scenes they spliced in. It is painfully and comedically obvious, however, when the footage switches between movies. You wouldn't believe it unless you saw it -- I would guess over 25 minutes of 90 minute film are pulled out other movies. If you are bored and want a laugh, try it some time.

What I learned from Rangers:

1-There are a lot of token black guys 2-Briefings to super-elite Ranger units are done minutes before being deployed on a mission while flying miles above earth in a plane. 3-It goes from sunrise to midnight in about 5 minutes. 4-Charlie Sheen does many non-mentioned and short cameos in this B-rated film. 5-Where'd the SCUBA gear come from? 6-After falling and then deploying their parachutes, miles from shore they know exactly where to find a cache of deflated boats. 7-Rangers can change laced army boots to swimming flippers in a matter of seconds, while falling at terminal velocity. 8-AK-47 weapons that the Rangers possess, magically can change to MP5 submachine guns. 9-You SHOULD look at the camera. 10-After firing a bazooka round and blowing up part of a building and creating lots of smoke, no fire alarms nor sprinkler systems go on. 11-When boarding a helicopter, the shape of the call numbers change. 12-The Rangers can instantly transport themselves into different positions, like on the helicopter. 13-Your are supposed to blink A LOT when shooting an automatic weapon. 14-You don't bleed when you are shot, not until at least many hours after the fact. 15-Military hair regulations are not in effect for women officers. 16-In terrorist land Brandy and Whisky are the same thing, and when they are poured, bubbles appear. 17-Elite military soldiers live off base, in big houses with wives. 18-Alex can commute back and forth from Florida to DC in a matter of seconds with his friend, many times a day. 19-Elite soldier's marksmanship is terrible at short range. 20-Pistol clips hold about 30 rounds. 21-Grenades, when thrown get to their target very fast then blow up. 22-You can be promoted to Sergeant to Lieutenant in a matter of days.

There are two sure ways to identify a movie filmed on a low, low budget.

One is when blaring mistakes are made in the continuity and detail of the movie and not caught by the film maker. For instance, when a character is introduced as a sergeant in one scene, and then in the very next scene, he's a lieutenant. Or, when a boat is rented for a scene and the flashing red lights of the burglar alarm are left on outside the entrance to the cabin while filming the sequence. This in and of itself isn't that bad, but, when the scene starts off with a burglar breaking into the boat right next to said flashing red lights, one can't help but notice and wonder how that got missed. That's right, you guessed it, these are but a couple examples of the myriad of mistakes made in `Rangers'.

The amount of footage stolen from other movies is the other way to quickly ID a cheap movie. Of course, I've seen movies where a few seconds of a scene from a different film is used without it being noticed to much. But `Rangers' goes way to far in this respect. Twenty five minutes of footage is used in `Rangers' from the Chuck Norris flick `Invasion U.S.A'. In fact, during one stolen scene, one can see the main bad guy from `Invasion U.S.A', Richard Lynch, leading his band of terrorists on the assault of a government building; a scene which is suppose to be from `Rangers'. It's almost like the writer of `Rangers' ran out of ideas in the middle of making the movie and decided to stick any old chunk of film in there to fill the hole. A little advice to any aspiring film makers out there, don't steal footage from a really bad movie and add it to your own really bad movie. This only makes for a really, really bad movie. And that's my opinion of `Rangers', a really, really bad movie.

I thought when i first saw this movie that it would be really good, but what a let down. During the scenes in which they go to syria, its pretty obvious that they scammed the footage from the movie NAVY SEALS movie starring Charlie Sheen. I feel this movie is a complete waste of time that completely ruins the footage taken from navy seals. Don't watch this movie unless you want a real let downer.

I can't believe I've spent two hours of my time on this junk recycle movie. The wish for turning it off, went to maximum, when I saw several scenes form the Arnold Shwarzeneger movie where he plays captain Renko, with Jim Belushi. That was pathetical! This film should be banned for everybody! Yikes! This was highlight of the movie, a borrowed scene from another film, that was used in this one... Wondering who read the script... Believe me, I saw many bad movies, but this is for avoiding! That's all, can't waste any more words on this "cinematografic experience"
