Russian Terminator

Shamefull as it may be, this movie actually made it to the videomarket, bringing shame on my proud country - any attempt to watch this movie without stopping or pausing, will be a fruitless attempt. one cannot bear to see more than one hour of this, then having either fallen asleep, or visited the bathroom for puking.

Note: if you haven't seen anything else from Denmark, please remember this:

some things were never meant to be - but still some idiot goes ahead and makes it anyway!

This is really a very bad movie. Why? First of all, the story is bad. It is an artificial story, combining all sorts of things together that make no sense. It just seems a wrong experiment. Secondly, the actors cannot play in a realistic manner. They cannot even talk as an actor should. Why did I buy this movie? And what must I do with it now?

Hello I am from Denmark, and one day i was having a film evening with my friends. One brought this movie with him "Russian terminator" and it was extremely awful. After watching less than half a minute we decided to fast forward only stopping at some laughable "highlights" or should i say "lowlights" in the movie. I was actually mostly surprised to find out that this film was produced here in my homeland Denmark...that must have been the biggest mistake this country ever made.

A mix of Ninja stuff mixed with a sub-James Bond storyline. The result is incredibly awful and boring, being just the stage for endless gun battles. I can't believe this was released in theaters. Terminate this movie.

My review was written in September 1990 after watching the movie on Arena video cassette.

Campy, but unintentionally, "Russian Terminator" answers the question: where are the new Swedish action films?". It's a home video shoot-'em-up for the novelty crowd.

Frederick Offrein is the unlikely hero: a guy who looks like Kenny Rogers, pronounces ninja as "ninya" and is supposedly a retired secret agent. He's blackmailed to give up his job as a still photographer to help out East/West relations on a secret mission.

It seems that Helena Michaelsen's boyfriend has been kidnapped with the villains demanding that her father turn over some secret papers. It takes several reels before the film moves into entertaining pure action mode, a refreshing change after the highly artificial postsynched English dialog.

Appearance of the title figure, who's really a Russian ninja, is anticlimactic as tall blonde Adent Cederblad's martial arts skill looks suspiciously like pro wrestling.
