Terminal Rush (1996) Reviews
Terminally Crap !
Another tedious Outing from Don "the Drag on & on & on " Wilson... who, on this evidence seems to wants out of my "50 action stars better than Vin diesel" list. This film is Poor in every department.... Cheap, Boring, with Poor dialog and 10 minute script made worse by some amateurish Acting ( which we'd expect from a Action B .. movie ) but in this its really bad. The Actors Speak Over each other,Mistime their Lines and are just plain wooden. But so What eh ..at least we can relax and watch some mind blowing action and fighting, right ??...Wrong ? Poorly executed Fight scenes ...probably improvised. The contact looks minimal and the Villains ( None of which look like terrorists or suit there costumes ) go down way to easy from Wilson's Boring and limited use of kicks and punches. There's No blood ..( Except for that terrible dyslexic 2 minute subsubsubsub plot where the guy writes Ratz in whatever it is them cheap bastards are using for blood. ) ... Actually writing Ratz in blood would probably sum this Movie up a lot better then i can. Explosions are repeated three times over and nothing really explodes anyway just a few random Rocks being thrown into shot. ). Gun Shoot outs are like watching kids playing Army with Sticks. Even Roddy Piper cant save this Pile of Dung. Stay Well Clear...My hunt for a good, no Acceptable "Don Dragon Wilson" Movie continues.
Interesting concept for a "Die Hard" rip-off that is basically handled poorly in all departments.
The premise of taking over a dam and threatening to blow it up if the terrorist's demands are not met is interesting enough, yet I doubt you'll ever get that far into the movie. From the very beginning of the opening credits, you can tell it's yet another lame movie HBO will probably use to fill up dead air time at three in the morning. The acting is laughable, the camera shots off-center, out of focus and they constantly wobble all over the place, and the music is just some guy tapping on the lower end of his keyboard continually. And it is more than obvious no one ever came into physical contact with anyone else while throwing a punch. Gunshots are barely heard and sound like popcorn popping and there is no blood - even when people are shot in the face at point blank range. At one point some guy gets blown up by a grenade and one moment later you see him just lying there, no damage done. Maybe it knocked him out? Also, another hysterical point of interest is how the bad guy kills like six of his own men just because they ask him a question. Pretty lame, even as a "bad movie night" entry.
It would be best if the writers, director and producer have day jobs.
Jacob Harper is the only one that was above a 1 rating. The FBI Agent was dumber than dirt. The plot lacked any version of credibility. Some of the action scenes worked OK, but there seemed to be an unlimited supply of bad guys. And then where did they all go at the end?
Die hard in a dam...
Having never seen a film with Don the dragon Wilson in before, i fear that this was a very bad place to start. The acting is beyond terrible, Wilson has the panache of a fire burnt avocado, and the villains are the most boring ones I have seen in a long time. Obviously the main bad guy is British, because he wants to be Alan Rickman, but what is he shaking so much when there is a close up of his mouth? Roddy piper is in the mix too, as a villain who has a quirky mask painted on his face for no reason at all and fires an endless amount of ammunition from his rocket launcher, because it's better than sex. The fight scenes are boring, the opponents look very lethargic whenever there is a fight, and it's all cheaply made in a very bad way.
"We don't need any heroics"
A group of villains take over the Hoover Dam and use hostages to extract a ransom of the usual millions. This is only a diversion to enable them to carry out another plan. (This depends on the local sheriff persuading the FBI hostage negotiators to empty the local army base of soldiers!). Meanwhile our hero Jacob Harper enters the dam to rescue his father who is one of the hostages.The usual hi-jinks ensue. It is all quite predictable and rather dull. The most entertainment comes when the villain played by Roddy Piper removes his sunglasses and underneath he has a black painted eye mask. It is hilarious. Did no one when making the film realise how stupid it looks? It made his character seem silly not threatening. The other funny thing is the role of Guard 1 being credited to A. Gorilla and Guard 2 being credited to E.N. Ackter, not to mention Soldiers 1-3 being played by Mulsy Mulhern,and Gillie Gilmore and Clarkie Clarke. All pseudonyms presumably.
