Dear God, please spare me!

This is, by far, and without a doubt, the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. Utterly devoid of any plot, acting talent or, dare I say, a script. It is horrible to a degree unknown in modern filmaking. For the love of humanity, if you value all that is good and right with the world, please do not see this, not even at 3am for free.

Space junk

SCORPIO ONE is another boring outer space-set movie from the late 1990s, when B-movie producers seemed obsessed with putting stuff into outer space whether it belongs there or not. This time around, we get martial arts hero Jeff Speakman who travels into space with part of a team to tackle some terrorists on a space station and help save the planet in the meantime.

The plot is as preposterous as it sounds, but unfortunately the scriptwriters decided to go for a slow-moving, talky script throughout and it's fair to say that not much happens here. Speakman gets a fight scene or two but for the most part this is a boring film that consists of boring actors reading boring dialogue. Suspense and drama flatline throughout, and a cameo from Robert Carradine is barely noticeable. The villain is played by NINE DEATHS OF THE NINJA's Brent Huff.

The Absolute Pits !!

The director of this farce (god bless him) actually directed a film called "Ghost Dog .. A Detective Tail" . Honest ! This monstrosity is even worse. I hope the investors got their money back !

A bunch of CIA operatives travel alone to a "space station" - not the one owned by Russia, the other one ! - along with a lady who is apparently an accomplished astronaut - and pretend they are somewhere in darkest Afghanistan !

Do I need to go on ?

Not the worst but still surprisingly bad

While not THE WORST movie I've ever seen, it was unquestionably of low quality. Were it not for the fact I was watching it when I had insomnia, I certainly would have fallen asleep during this movie.

While I won't spend much time on this (why bother?) I have the following observations to offer:

It's not clear what this movie was trying to be, Walker Texas Ranger in Space or any number of B-storyline rip-offs. I found NOTHING original, however, which is quite a feat in itself.

Very amusing were a number of the SAME sound effects used in the PC game "Doom"! Not just similar; they must have come from the same source! I can only wonder if the game and the movie purchased the sounds from the same FX company or if the movie bought the rights from ID, the makers of DOOM. Quite amusing. Perhaps the ONE enjoyable facet of the game (aside from seeing Robin Douglas)

Trivia
The March Ocean Laboratories biographies (displayed when Gibson hacks into the system) are all the same and read as follows (including all punctuation, spelling, and grammatical errors): Patrick A. Roberts born so and so and so and so in the town of so and so and so and so............ Owned a repair shop in Toledo Ohio and was convicted of first second and third degree murder when he was just four and a half years old. He likes tall women and is referred to by his fraternity buddies as "SHLONG"; meaning he has an enormous penis. His favorite foods are tacos with wild boar meat and goat cheese from a Chilean cow. All members of his family worship Satan and play with ouiji boards instead of watching Melrose Place on Monday nights. Roberts has a history of thinking he is connected to the Chicago mob, but sources indicate that the only crime he likes to do is pulling tags off mattresses. Roberts is a Taurus and enjoys tossing popsicle sticks behind his mothers TV while watching WWF Saturday Night Slam on TNT. Even though Roberts looks tough in this photo, you can rest assured that he only stands five feet tall and likes collecting butterflies during the warm months. Roberts has a short temper and is known to give wedgies to old ladies that pass by. He is co-founder of "RFPWSLBH" Rights For People Who Still Like Beverly Hills 90210. Robers is currently living with his parents and can sometimes be seen through his bedroom window hanging Tori Spelling photos from Teen Magazine on his walls.

Goofs
The shuttle orbiter docks with the space station by connecting with its underside, but the underside of the orbiter has no hatchway. The orbiter has a hatch on the port side which is used to enter and exit the vehicle before and after flight, and an airlock that opens into the payload bay - which is on the opposite side to the underside of the orbiter.
