Desastre

A group of fanatics take over a multi-storied building in order to get something their leader really wants. But one by one, they are picked off by... yes, you guessed right - this is yet another DIE HARD rip-off, only this time around there are TWO heroes working together and they are saddled with two females. Apart from that novelty, there really isn't anything here of merit, except for some decent cinematography. The movie is packed with stock footage from other Nu Image productions (plus a few other movies), the set decoration looks pretty cheap, and the action (if you can call it that) is so bland in both its editing and direction that I had a hard time keeping my eyes on the screen. Even if you often enjoy made-for-video movies and can accept shortcomings, chances are you'll be picking up a book or newspaper next to your viewing chair long before the end credits start to roll.

Since I am required to write minimum of 10 lines, and this garbage deserves not only a single one, I'll start with the following: 1. I voted AWFUL for this dreadful so called "movie".

2. Let me explain why these turkeys Mr. David Varod produces are shot mainly in my beautiful homeland, Bulgaria (just in BTW, for the illiterate people around - this country is IN EUROPE, based north to Greece and has absolutely nothing to do with Mexico and Uruguay) Some years ago, NU Image has invaded our country and started making crappy mostly direct-to-video releases. Why here? Because here they pay derisively low fees to the Bulgarian crew and to the Bulgarian actors (most of them distinguished ones) which are, in many ways, better than most of their American colleagues. Personally I am ashamed of that fact. The reason is, of course, the greediness of the Americans involved and their wish to get most, if not all of the profit. Actually it would't be so bad if only the production wasn't so filthy and pale. There hasn't been a good picture shot here for years. At present NU image is being sued here over the very questionably purchasing of our national cinema production centre called Boyana Films. No doubt about it there has been corruption, there has been deceit, there has been a lies in this recent purchase. The Bulgarian cinema is dead. Long live the Bulgarian cinema!

I won't even bother to discuss the plot because it would be degrading to me as a human being. I'll make this quick. Some of the outrageous characteristics of this "movie" (located in Las Vegas) include the following: so-called "special effects" that were created by a computer and a blue screen, out of place stock footage provided by ABC News, a car which is driving in a straight line and goes by the Bourbon Street Casino FIVE times(!), a horribly cheesy set that we are supposed to believe is an actual casino, voice dubbing that is so out of sync that I might as well have been watching a kung fu movie...and on and on and on.

The silver lining to this cloud is that I did laugh about five or six times while watching "Cult Of Fury". It almost could work as a comedy...but not quite. AVOID!!

This movie has obviously a low budget with bad bad effects. But I liked it because it was good entertaining and with a beautiful woman as Marnie Alton (Tracy) its worth seeing :)

Vote : 6 (3 for entertainment 3 for Marnie).

Oh this is bad. I knew within a couple minutes this was going to be awful. The cruise ship scene with the flames was a riot. It only got worse from there.

Some spoilers with questions:

When the attack on the casino happened, what was up with the guys coming down from the rafters on ropes? This place obviously had no security so they could have walked right in, automatic weapons and all. Also, when one of the swat guys gets blown backwards, you can see the rope pulling him backwards, twice. Oh yeah, since when does the SWAT team use a school bus (painted white).

The sports car (a Miata) on the casino floor. Keys just happened to be in it and to give the illusion that one of the bad guys was going fast while driving it, they showed close ups of his face and the background as a blur. When he was shown from 20-30 feet away, he was going all of 15-20 mph (if that).

Why are they always blowing up slot machines with grey painted tap lights?

Numerous stock footage of police cars, ambulances, etc. Rather obvious since the film color didn't match. Also, when the bridge blows up, there is one car that goes over that makes more of an explosion that the Shell tanker that went over first!

What happened to the scaffolding that Maxwell was on when they showed him at the bottom of the dam?

Too many other things to list. Wonder what the budget was for this...
