easily the best cheesy action movie ever made


i miss the days of these really over the top action movies. the stuff they come out with now just tries to take everything too seriously. they don't even really have good one liners anymore such as "i like my meat rare." with this movie, it honestly seems like they threw the cast together, wrote the script, did all the editing and had it ready to go within about 3 weeks. that's what i like about it, they ignore all logic such as it being impossible to follow someone with 100% accuracy in the woods. i mean, these guys are RIGHT on his trail the entire time. also, how ice T shoots the tree down and it falls in place perfectly so he can use it as a bridge across the gorge. i love the ridiculous logic of wolfe sr. "i've spent over $50,000 developing an instinct that you don't have...you're just like your mother." so to solve this, he takes him in the woods to hunt a human!!! brilliant. anyone have any thoughts?

i disagree

this is pretty good cheesy action, but its no COMMANDO or RED DAWN


RED DAWN probably takes the cake in all areas - plot, characters, even ending
