Mark B When you make a ultra low budget action movie like this in the 1980s, you have a choice to make. You can pay for a great script and good actors, or you can pay to blow up, fall off of, and/or roll every car or building in site. In the case of ACTION USA, the producers chose correctly. Yeah, it drags a bit, and yeah the actors who cost $ appear briefly, but 10 minutes doesn't pass without none of that mattering because something is happening in real life, by real stunt men (and women) that would be done digitally today. Heck, forget 'stunt doubles'; the stunt men were on screen so much that in some cases they just hired them to play the rolls. It's a fun film to watch and to geek out about some of the amazing stunts. (note: Don't be fooled by the 2020 'release date'. It was shot in 1987 or so and went straight to home video. 2020 was when it was remastered and show in limited theatrical run, then went to BluRay.) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review M M Mac's dad makes this movie. Cameron Mitchell is pretty good too. It's sad that today's Hollywood will never make a movie like this one. Badass stunts and absolutely no real plot. Action movies gotta have action! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/22 Full Review Audience Member Talk about blowing your load to soon. Action USA starts off with a bang with some badass driving skills, some titties, a dude hanging out a helicopter to falling out of said helicopter to a badass car chase, and that's just the first 20 minutes! Then the rest of the movie is a slog of bad plot and terrible dialogue that slows the movie down. But the every 10 minutes there's some great stunts to get the blood flowing, then immediately back to the boring characters. The main woman in the movie was the best part easily, between her great "ahem" assets she was the best actor in this, but then she gets sidelined in the second have as the damsel in distress. Cameron Mitchell shows up as the "big bad" but he's only in two scenes he shot in an afternoon and got to slap a couple tits, so good for him. After all that I can't lie I didn't have a blast watching this, another perfect Saturday night with your buds movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Clearly an attempt to rip-off Lethal Weapon, it's totally fine, because this is doing its own thing. It's a balls-to-the-wall action flick that doesn't stop to take a breath. Like seriously, it has to be seen to be believed. Especially in a time where everything was done practically, it's hard to imagine them pulling some of this stuff off, and with such a budget. Probably helps that it was made by a stuntman.
