a true campy action classic, 23 June 2004
9/10
Author: generac from United States

This is one fan-freaking-tastic campy action movie, up there in the ranks of "double team", just with a lower budget. There were only a few minor flaws with the movie, that is some spotty acting from some of the less important characters, not perfectly complete stunts (but still darn good), and no freaking sex scene. How can you have a campy action movie without a sex scene. And the fight at the end with the two chicks in it was just plain dumb. It was just like they were trying to throw as many pairs of tits into the movie as possible, see also the replacement pilot chick. Luckily, everything else was solid as a rock, for the type of movie it is. Decent one liners, good action, perfect looking actors, passable plot. There isn't much more you could want from this movie. Any fan of action movies would love it.
