Desejo Fatal

I love this film, i dare you to watch it and not laugh at the series of lame gags and poorly co-ordinated action scenes. I didn't think it was possible but this film manages to be both nonsensical and predictable at the same time. Around about this time Pamela Anderson must have been one of the most famous TV actresses around, but as you can see from this, her Film career never really took of, and to be fair her performance here is fairly terrible. The lead character of Mace is your typical loose-cannon angry ex-cop who despises "bleeding-heart judges" and does things his own renegade way. The character of Mitch is a man wanted for murder and completes the intrepid threesome who are the focus of the film, and for some reason our heroes have to run from the baddies chasing them through New Orleans. I have given this film a ranking of nine out of ten because I have watched it three times now and have enjoyed it thoroughly every time. Although in all honesty its not a great film, or even a good film, its by the numbers approach to presenting a cops and robbers action movie complete with lots of unnecessary sex and violence is just fun. I would recommend this film if you want a good laugh at a film that shouldn't really be taken seriously, especially if you find the "McBain" scenes from the Simpsons funny as this film could easily be a Ranier Wolfcastle production.

A action-adventure,crime drama,pseudo-comedy,buddy picture that fails practically at all levels. Robert Hays,whose career had a handful of early successes--the short-lived success of TV's "Angie" and the two wildly funny "Airplane" movies--followed by a long string of films that would elicit blank stares of confusion if mentioned to the average film viewer--"Touched",anyone?--and numerous TV projects that would not last past a year(my fave was the TV treatment of "Starman"),ends up in this flick which really has little going for it except the film debut(?) of Playboy mega-babe and "Baywatch" fixture Pamela Anderson. Her nude/sex scenes along with a very lovingly filmed shower scene with starlet model April Bogenschutz really seem to be all that makes this flick seem watchable. David Keith(here a LONG ways from "An Officer and a Gentleman" and even "Firestarter") as the gruff,angry,hard-bitten cop seems to barely register here. Stacy Keach's usual oiliness is underused here, and the film is set squarely on the shoulders of Keith,Hays and Anderson. It seems as if the writer(s) of the movie,in desperate need of a catch-phrase for Keith' s character,is best able to come up with the "Don't EVER insult my mama!"when a thug or goon he runs into calls him an S.O.B. Not very inspired,need I say.

Strictly late-night cable viewing. A cheap rental if you really must see this.

Once you have witnessed the scene where Pamela (as a hooker??? how cheesy is that... at least the director knows why we are watching this crap...) gets the job done, you have no more reason to keep watching this atrocity... I put a 3/10 but for a girl or anyone who thinks Pam is ugly, this movie is not even worth that...

I have to agree with a lot of the comments on this film. To have good character actors such as Robert Hays (Airplane movies), Charles Napier (Rambo II), David Keith (Officer & Gentleman, U-571), and Stacy Keach (too many to list); you would expect better acting. But maybe they were actually making fun on this genre of a movie. The music for some of the scenes was actually comical. The plot of the movie is basic and definitely predictable. The sound effects doesn't always match the scene. Several times you hear the cocking of the hammer of a revolver but you see the gun is not even cocked. And speaking of the revolvers, where did they get those antiques? The main bad guy is the only one who is even using a semi-auto pistol and he can't even hit the side of a barn except in one scene; two shots, two dead. But despite all of the errors and predictability, I actually somewhat enjoyed watching this flick. And of course you had Pamela Anderson for eye candy. This film is from 1995 so she actually looks great (ala Baywatch) and not as she looks today.

Would've loved to be David Keith for this movie. After Pam and he get chased by the baddies they hid out beside a shed. They decided to make a bit of love to pass the time. Soon enough Pam has her top over her head and Keith has his face on her breasts. He licks his way down to her ass. He takes off her short skirt and licks her some more. Then he gets up and does her from behind. Fantastic scene even if the rest of the movie isn't up to much. There's another scene at the end where Pam and the other fella do a bit of riding. Not as good as the first bit but still enjoyable. No doubt Pam makes the movie as good as it is. Must say though that the first scene is one of the best sex scenes i've ever seen.
