Crash Point Zero

I actually liked this film up to the "long kiss goodnight" climax which was not just a rip off it was the exact same footage from driving through the christmas parade to the truck exploding with the exception of the close up's of the stars of this film. (its not hard to tell the difference between a mid '90's ford and a 2000 oldsmobile). I cant say dont watch it but if you go for low budget crap that looks like high budget then it is watchable.

I gave this movie 1/10, although I have to say I watched it right the way through simply because it made me laugh so much. After I realized how silly and badly put together it was, I started watching out for all the things that didn't make sense - which was basically the whole movie. The acting, the photography, the script, the plot, the taking-off other movies - the whole effort was a joke. How could someone sit back after making it and think 'Yeah, this is a good movie, I'm pleased with it'? Anyway, it did make me laugh, but only because it was so bad.

I like Jay Andrews/Jim Wynorski movies simply because they give you a lot of cheesy bang for the buck; they're like TV movies without the good stuff being censored out. I like his whatever-it-takes attitude and give him credit for putting in the long hours it must take to pump out these features. I'll bet there's a lot of headaches involved in obtaining the stock footage, too (I'd love to hear some in-depth stories about how he manages that)! His crew, particularly director-of-photography Andrea Risotto, deserve kudos for giving these pictures a nice "clean", professional look. True guilty pleasures, I always look forward to the next Jay Andrews DVD and generally will sit through the commentary tracks, too!

Just wanted to add to the comment by Bailey-21(Alabama)...

who said "the entire climax of this... is nearly an exact copy of that film (Long Kiss). Frame for frame, it's a pitiful ripoff."

If you look at this scene 'Frame by frame', you can actually SEE Geena Davis standing by the truck! this is the SAME FOOTAGE!

I wonder if both films were made by the same studio, and they ran out of money on this one, or if this is even legal!

I felt Ripped Off!

Stop me if you've heard this....we have a machine capable of mass destruction. The trigger for this machine is simply to put on a set of headphones and "think mass destruction thoughts". The machine fits perfectly inside a small wooden box - just the right size for carry-on luggage.

I am a sucker for formula movies. Just love 'em. This movie is a mix of Cliffhanger, Air Force One, Broken Arrow, and last, but not least, The Long Kiss Goodnight - my all time favorite formula movie.

Speaking of The Long Kiss Goodnight, the entire climax of this film from the black 18-wheeler tanker to the explosion of the Canadian-US border is nearly an exact copy of that film. Frame for frame, it's a pitiful ripoff.

This movie doesn't deserve any stars at all.
