And what of Lundgren asks yee? He’s in fine thespian form, just watch as he attempts to shake his dead partner back to life with cries of “come on!” Usually these kinds of resuscitation fail, and this was no different, but I’m sure if anyone could break the circle of mortality it would be Dolph Lundgren. Perhaps Lundgren is existence, I’m not sure, where’s Sartre when you need him? Probably riding the bumper cars in Brighton, or watching an imported DVD of Body Melt.
Concluding remarks, this film stands up there, shoulders back and head raised proud, a posture to rival Aristotle, right up there with the likes of The Punisher 89 and Commando, as a genuinely brilliant piece of fun movie cheese. It may not have quite the level of stupidity of Frank Castle’s adventures, or the sheer scope and magnitude of quotable lines from the John Matrix situation, but it nevertheless proves itself an hilarious zenith for films where big humanlike aliens come to Earth and pissed off rogues must put an end to their massacring ways. Well it sure as hell beats Suburban Commando.

Enjoyed the review, which reminds me that I'd like to see more movie blurbs like "Fun movie cheese that'll make you laugh your gall bladders out your femurs!"

Excellent Sir Flemming. Good to get a run down on the different forms of movie cheese out there.

wondrous as ever, Sir Fleming. sadly, i'm up to the eyes in the ol' flu type carry-ons, an laughin seems to cause my frontal lobes no end a anguish. imagine my anguish at this minute, then. but worth it, oh aye.
i ain't seen this flick in a decade or more. holy shit. look at that, mortality peerin o'er a fellas shoulder.

hey, the gall bladder mention reminds me of a quote from "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein." Fabulous Prizes for anyone who knows it (?)
