Murdercycle

Mind numbing nonsense about a possessed motorbike from outer space. 70 minutes of inane chatter and 20 minutes of low budget action. You've seen it all before; not even a good candidate for a $1 rental.

Murdercycle (1999) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a meteor that crashes to planet Earth and infects a motorcycle rider and his bike. The man and his motorcycle are taken control of by the alien presence and sent on a mission to begin a killing spree until it can invade a military base and recover an alien artifact

This movie is directed by Thomas L. Callaway (Dead Man Rising) and stars Charles Wesley (Run the Race), Robert Donavan (Attack of the Unknown), William Vogt (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), David A. R. White (God's Not Dead) and Stephen O'Mahoney (NYPD Blues).

The comet opening and transformation scene reminded me of the beginning of the Wraith...but that was the only part of this that was as good as that movie. The writing, acting and dialogue was as bad as you'd expect. The action scenes were just okay. The kills could have been better. The gun shots sounded like paintball guns and the ending was cheesy.

Overall, this is as bad as the title. I would score this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it...unless you're in the mood for a bad movie, then this is for you.

An alien has fused himslf with a traveling dirtbiker and his vehcle to make one formidable super weapon. What he's doing on earth is to retrieve an alien communication device lef here from previous visitors which our CIA has stored in a hidden facility.

Besides the struggle with this hybrid creature the squad of marines sent in to guard this thing feuds wth their CIA leaders.

Murdercycle is one truly lame science fiction film. It rates at the bottom of all categories, acting, writing, directing and laughable special effecs.

Don't waste your time.

I forced myself to watch this movie because I recognized an actor's name, who was a personal friend, in the opening credits. Otherwise I would have turned it off after about 40 seconds. Words can not describe the strength it took to watch it all the way through. I actually hoped at one point that his character would die, so I could stop watching...seriously! The best thing I could say about this movie was that I got a chance to read the critiques which are here on this site. Some of which are hilarious. They are correct about how bad it is. We could form a club, around who hates this movie more.

Murdercycle should come with a warning.. "Don't watch this movie with a loaded weapon in the room...you may just want to kill yourself." Same goes for swords ...you may want to fall on one! It's that bad. And I don't mean...."it's so bad,it's good"...I mean it's...."what the hell was that?!".. bad.

I was always curious about Murdercycle as it had that interesting name to it and the potential for some good action. On top of that, it was a Full Moon movie. Murdercycle was not too shabby. It has a solid little story that developments as the movie goes on and things tend to get interesting. The concept was pretty cool and made for a decent little sci-fi movie. This movie could've been a lot better, however. The PG-13 rating is what really holds this movie down. This was just asking for some crazy gore, especially with people getting ran over by the Murdercycle. Add in some crazy gore, you make the action of this movie all the more memorable. Instead, it was action that just average. Even with an "Action Extreme" studio name attached to it, you'd better bring on the insane action. Unfortunately, that is not the case. My other gripe has to do with the Murdercycle itself. With that sort of name, there should have been some heavy duty weapons and crazy stuff. Instead, just little blue lasers that can't even destroy trees! That made the Murdercycle seem weak. Overall, not a bad little movie, but definitely could've been so much more. I guess it can be called a missed opportunity to an extent. Think of how cool merchandise could've been for Murdercycle...
