possibly the absolute worst movie ever made


wow, with the godawful music and the terrible acting, it begs the question-how on earth can someone release such a horrible film and make so much money off of it? not to mention the actors that were once good in their careers were washed up. also, chuck norris was pathetic. i have yet to see a movie that i despise as much as this one. to think of it, the only reason i could survive this movie was because i was spending time with my grandfather with declining health and terrible taste in movies when i watched it.

"possibly"?

Agree with OP. Terrible, horrible piece of nationalistic trash. I love action films, but this is for sure one on the bottom of the barrel.

arnez88 "nationalistic trash"....what's wrong with being nationalistic or pro America?

It's not that the movie was so jingoistic (Red Dawn, Rocky IV, anything with Schwarzenegger at that time); that's how 80s movies were. It was a highly conformist era. It's just the writing was so over-the-top bad. The pilot actually said, "Thank God the women are safe." (and meant it, too), or how caricatured many of the characters were, especially the people on the plane.

And then there's that effin' song...

MurphAndTheMagicTones can't you just enjoy a movie for what it is: as pure entertainment? "the writing was so over-the-top bad".....that's very exaggerated. The writing wasn't even that bad and actually had a slow burn for the first hour with a lot more character development than most action films of that era. This wasn't trying to win Oscars either lol.....it's 80's Cannon Films! Geez.

This is a movie for real men. you girly liberal men shouldn't bother and should stick with female Ghostbusters.

I respectfully dissent. I thought it was a very good action flick. Very good.
