Tay L One of the most underrated 80s action comedies & one of John Carpenter's best work. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Jared E This movie didn't age well. Lo pan and Kim Catrell save this movie because Kurt Russell puts in one of his worst performances. It's supposed to be "comedic" but it just comes off as dry and as if Kurt Russell is attempting his best John Wayne impression. It's worth a watch if you haven't seen it in years or it's your first time because it is loveably 80's, other than that 👎 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Blu B It's very clear right from the start your not supposed to take this serious with it's cheesy acting and comedic self aware tone. So if you go into this expecting a serious plot like The Thing or Escape from New York you won't enjoy this gonzo like funhouse feel. This merges action, comedy, horror, and fantasy in such a fun, lighthearted, cool, and funny way. It's not really scary at all and yet it's horror but it's so cool and just fun. It's sort of mindless but it's so creatively done and the direction of carpenter is so good here. The set design, practical effects, costumes, direction, the killer 80's soundtrack all come together in a unique way. It's done in such a way this could only have been made with Carpenter and during this time. It's got such smooth editing as well and one of the craziest pacings I've ever seen. It might be even nuttier than something like Evil Dead 2 in terms of the nonsense it throws. Everyone should give this a try once. Just go into it ti have a good fun time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review David W Horror meistro Carpenter effortlessly pulls off a winning fusion of comedy, action and martial arts. The cast really buy into their roles and Russell in particular is in sparkling form. An affectionately daft, action packed, funny and lightheartedly subversive thrill ride. An 80's action comedy classic in my book. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Jeff S So unique and amazing while retaining the feel of a traditional martial arts film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Rosana B Quando assistimos a filmes antigos devemos ter a maleabilidade de analisarmos com os olhos do ano sua produção, para não corrermos o risco de sermos injustos, entretanto achei o filme bem chato, e olha que eu adoro os monstrinhos a parte Mística me encantou, a magia com efeitos especiais crasos, mas nada disso foi suficiente para consultar minha simpatia...
