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.

True this movie was nothing spectacular. The special effects weren't really all that special. The acting wasn't Oscar worthy. The script was a little..well it was just a little... Yes we could all tell the "murdercycle" was covered with rubber and such...but come on...This movie wasn't too, too bad. I don't normally like sci-fi movies. I am more into HORROR. I love (for whatever reason) movies by Full Moon. This one was from one of their own spin off productions company's: ActionExtreme. This movie had an original idea (not the alien part), that really tried to develop into something. Though there was a very slow part, it did pick up towards the end, and finished with an "there could be a sequel" ending. Watch with an open mind. It is a B-movie, it was filmed on an old studio lot and that is very obvious. The whole thing probably didn't cost over a couple hundred thousand to make..Take that into consideration, and just enjoy the movie.

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 usually like Full Moon stuff, just because they're so ridiculously funny, but this one wasn't funny-bad, just bad-bad. These three or four marines with a couple of civilians go try to kill an alien motorcycle--excuse me, MURDERcycle. They actually start calling it that in the movie, too. One of the civilians is a psychic, but she seems to be relatively useless until the very, very end. Some plot twists, but nothing to really hold one's interest, and nothing you can't see coming a mile away though a fog bank. Even the funny alien-watcher can't save this bad one from the trash heap, but he was a nice diversion.
