Gangland

Wow, this was so bad, it was actually kinda funny. Horrible dialog, silly story, bad acting (or directing - I have seen several of the actors in this movie give much better performances), bad fight choreography, bad sound, bad sets & costuming. Plenty of gratuitous nudity, which is probably why the other reviewer liked it so well. So, if you're into that sort of thing, or are just feel like laughing at it, catch this one on cable.

The heroes are good actors (I'm a big Kathleen Kinmont fan) but they're surrounded by bad guys who never went to acting school and a director who couldn't have cared and simply slept through the filming. The movie had potential, the director failed miserably.

Being a bit of a fan of Sasha Mitchell, I was overjoyed to pick this up for as little as £1. Shame it turned out to be £20 too much.

The plot of the movie is basically a really watered down version of Jean Claude Van Damme's Cyborg, about a post-nuke world where three heroes, Mitchell, Costas Mandylor(of Fist of the North Star fame) and a woman I've never heard of called Kathleen Kinmont actually fight Fender from Cyborg, now called Lucifer, but played by the same actor in a worse costume. Lucifer's little brother is the dorkiest attempt at a villain ever, and the movie is quite frankly a nightmare, with the only things redeeming it for me being the fact that Sasha still works, and that future Terminatrix Kristanna Loken has a small role(far too small).

The action is dull, the characters dumb, and the story rehashed from a hardly classic 80s Van Damme vehicle, the worst of it is, the movie has the cheek to not even do this in a funny way, it's just plain crap. Avoid this, and any other movies directed by Art Camacho.

I had a blast laughing at this movie. Every bit of dialogue makes you cringe, each action scene is progressively worse than the last, and the entire cast is awful. All of the women look and sound like the boring beginning of a long Cinemax porno movie, and all of the men, all of them, in every scene, seem like they are trying to hold themselves back from kissing and having sex with each other. Sasha Mitchell is the worst actor I've ever seen in my life. His acting repertoire consists of two personalities: goofy laid-back frat boy, and hammy over-dramatic angry Jean Claude Van Damme wannabe. In conclusion, everybody involved with the making of this movie (except for Ice-T, who I have absolutely no idea how he got involved with this thing in the first place) needs to die.

Available on DVD in the UK.

It read rather good on the box but the movie wasn't the same one that was on the disc.

A no budget waste of time with a fleeting glimpse of Ice T and Coolio, A Team style fighting and a plot with so many holes it leaked.

Don't bother with this even at budget price.
