    Twin towers....

    Okay, that should take care of all the dumb breast jokes, shall we move on?

    Anna Nicole Smith...action star?

    No.

    Anna Nicole Smith...erotic star?

    Maybe.

    Anna Nicole Smith...comedian?

    Definitely.

    She can't act, she can barely remember her lines, she pouts, she whines...and she's supposed to be the next Bruce Willis? I think not. Take out the violence and this could be "The Naked Gun, Part 48DD: Double Trouble". ...okay, okay, that's the last dumb breast joke, I promise.

    On the basis of this movie, Anna would be best off to just cut her losses and work as an understudy for Edy Williams (hey, she's got to retire sometime).

    One star. Maybe two, I wouldn't want to be a boob.

    Sorry, sorry....

    Die Hard for people who don't like acting

    I found it truly distressing to watch this film. Plot wise, it was basically a rip off of Die Hard (i.e. group of 'terrorists' take over hi-tec building and are foiled by an individual) and appeared to exist only as a vehicle for Anna Nicole Smith's breasts.

    The European 'terrorist' contingent looked like a bunch of failed male models - musclebound freaks with girly hair. The dialogue appeared to be a rather poorly realised afterthought and Ms. Smith's acting was painful to watch. Her facial expressions and whining voice were several steps down from Roger Moore's school of 'eyebrow-response' acting. Even in the attempted rape scene there was no dramatic tension, leaving the viewer with an almost schizophrenic sense of detachment. All in all a complete waste of time. Nice jugs though.

    Die Hard meets Barb Wire

    Imagine that you put Barb Wire in a skyscraper, after the Die Hard model, add incredibly stupid dialog, and some free swinging 48" (or however big Anna Nicole Smith's mammaries are) appendages. Then you have more or less this movie.

    If you are a man, the only thing that will hold your attention are the scenes where Anna Nicole Smith shows off her transplants.

    You might want to watch the film if you are masochistic or have nothing better to do (like watching paint dry?).

    The plot is: Tall high rise is taken over by terrorists, this building have a brand new state of the art electronic security system, that allows you to monitor and control the building from 1 central location.

    The bad guys claim to be a international terrorist group in order to avoid detection of their real motive. However there is a fly in the ointment in that there are - in this case - two good guys loose in the building trying to spoke their plans.

    The action consists of crawling through air vents, setting fires in order to call the fire department, picking off the terrorists one by one, ending in a fight where the leader gets thrown off the roof, to crash to his death 86 floors below. Other terrorists are also thrown out the windows to land on police cars......

    Sound familiar ??????

    The primary good guy is Anna Nicole Smith, proudly showing off her mammary development (transplant???) at various times, probably to keep the attention of the the few guys watching the movie.

    Please do yourself a favor - don't see this movie if you have any choice.

    Skyscraper is by no means a good film, it is truly a terrible action/thriller but let's be honest Anna Nicole Smith is what makes this movie entertaining as it is.

    It Burns! It Burns!!

    If you turn the number sideways, you'll see why I gave this movie an 8. Check the gratuitous shower scene about 10 minutes into the movie if you don't get me.

    Friends, this movie is HOWLINGLY BAD. You'll laugh until tears flow from your eyes, not believing the sights and sounds assaulting your being from the screen. From Anna's non-existent acting, to the bad scenery-chewing performance of the actor playing the lead terrorist (just what country is he supposed to be from, Badaccentia?), this is prime Badfilm. There are a ton of explosions on offer, which are nicely photographed, but are so (I'll risk using the word again) gratuitous that the plot (most obvious Die Hard rip-off ever) can't be taken seriously for more than a nanosecond.

    Everything about this film screams: "Don't take me seriously!"

    On that level, the discriminating fan of bad action films will enjoy this heartily. Anyone familiar with the work of Andy Sidaris will be in familiar territory here.

    I feel that this movie is best enjoyed under the influence of several adult beverages. I would suggest a double feature for a night of viewing, this film and David Heavener's KILL CRAZY(see my review of that film as well). Now that's some red-blooded American entertainment. Lots of stuff gets blowed up real good! Get the pony keg and the nachos, dude!

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In an interview co-writer William Applegate Jr. states Anna Nicole Smith "was in the worst, drug-addled part of her life" during filming of 'Skyscraper'. "She'd also go missing for an hour and Martino [the director] would go missing for an hour. They'd send a PA off to go look for them and discover him going down on her in the trailer. In the middle of production! It was just ridiculous."
    • Goofs
      Carrie has white underwear on at the beginning when arguing with her husband, until caught by the baddie who strips her, with what appears to be intent to rape, revealing dark underwear.

      Carrie Wink: Well, excuse me for still believing in Sunday walks in the park, and little babies!

    • Alternate versions
      The UK video was cut by 56 secs with edits to shots of Carrie's breasts being caressed during a rape scene and of her stabbing the attacker's leg with a paper knife.
