Fred Topel About.com Disapointing Die Hard rip-off. Even forgiving the B-movie quality, there's nothing clever here. Dice is a good bad guy though. Tweed disappoints. Rated: 1/5 Jul 14, 2003 Full Review Dragan Antulov rec.arts.movies.reviews Rated: 5/10 Dec 4, 2002 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com No Contest is proof positive that not only is it completely fine to blatantly rip off a movie, but the copycats need not even TRY to hide their plagiarism.

Audience Member Basically Die Hard without the airport and instead of Bruce we get chicks. Dice Clay as a bad guy, yeah okay. Untrained Diva suddenly becomes, 'the action star'? It's not very believable! Plot was stale and a slight ripoff of Die Hard. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad. Dice plays a decent heel. Some similarities to Die Hard with Tweed playing a former beauty queen in the Willis role. Hostages are taken at the Miss Galaxy pageant with demands made to a crooked Senator whose daughter is Miss USA. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow... pemilihan miss galaxy berubah jadi teror yang menegangkan... sip banget nich aksi mantan miss galaxy ini... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member The nineties produced a plethora of "Die Hard" clones that would take the same basic storyline and advertise themselves as "'Die Hard' on a boat", "'Die Hard' on a train", etc.; you knew the copycats were running out of ideas when they decided to make "'Die Hard' at a beauty contest"! But when "'Die Hard' at a beauty contest" features former Playboy playmate Shannon Tweed in the John McClane role with Andrew Dice Clay and Rowdy Roddy Piper as the villains, at least there's going to be some entertainment value; this clone won't win any awards for its originality or brains, but it's fast-paced, action-packed and never boring, so it's at least worth a look for curiosity value. It was popular enough with the straight-to-video crowd to spawn its own sequel, "No Contest II: Access Denied", which could best be described as "'Die Hard'... in an art gallery (?!)". Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Very great movie that has a wonderful staring roll with Keram Malicki-Sanchez in it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
