3-0 out of 5 stars Best Worst Movie Ever!
This movie is so bad, so stupid, that it's great. Where to start? Well, to begin with the acting. No one ever expects a movie headlined by Stallone and Russell to be a groundbreaking film. Nevertheless, their over the top cheesiness (especially Russell's) lends the film a sort of idiotic charm. Stallone's inane delivery of his lines will keep you captivated. Jack Palance even seems to up the cheese factor in his performance. Teri Hatcher is a highlight of the movie, playing Stallone's spunky sister. She plays the part of damsel in distress, but is also very clever and strong willed. (Who knew there would be a role-model for feminists in a film like this? I kid, I kid) The story is pretty cookie-cutter for an '80s action buddy film. You could almost transplant Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte into this film and it would just about have the same effect.

So, with a mediocre script and subpar acting, Tango & Cash could very well be a train wreck of a film (like any Seagal or Van Damme flick). It avoids this though, by being so tongue-in-cheek. Whether or not this is intentional can be debated. I only know that I can't help but watch this film every time it comes on!

So if you're looking for big, dumb fun, this is the flick for you!

4-0 out of 5 stars I miss the 80's
I bought this dvd for christmas and watched it for the first time in a while. Kurt Russell steals the show from his partner and if this movie starred anybody else, then it would have came out a lot worse than it did. Russeell is Gabe Cash and Stallone is Ray Tango, the two toughest and hardest cops in the city. They have done so much damage to the crime syndicate's income that Yves Perret(a brilliant Jack Palance)has to take matters into his own hand and get the duo off the streets. They get set up and end up in a maximum security prison only to discover that if they don't escape, their is no hope for survival. This movie really owes a debt of gratitude to Harold Faltermeyer, who uses all kinds of COOL beats in his score throughout the film and keeps the viewer interested. This movie could have been longer, but I won't complain considering the action films that are being made these days are really stupid!

5-0 out of 5 stars Stallone & Rusell - an explosive combination
I must say I'm a big fan of detective movies, and '80 were great time for that kind of films (action comedies, adventures...). We already had LETHAL WEAPON in that time, but this film really pushed the limits. Critics often say that this is a B-movie, but that is what they think. For me, this is one of the best Stallone's movies and he and Rusell are really good together as two heavy cops alway aguing and having a lot of troubles with Jack Palance, leader of some terrorist organization who send them to prison where they will meet their doom. Of course, they will win and the rest is to you to be seen. Don't listen the others who didn't like it - give your own oppinion (possitive, I hope).

4-0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun!
I have to agree with the majority of reviews posted so far regarding this flick. I saw it when it came out in theatres (with my dad; I was just a little kid) but this movie is so cheesy that it's laughable (in a good way) and a lot of fun to watch at the same time. Very adrenaline rushing, action pact destruction and pyrotechnics best define this movie as Stallone and Russle play two cops from the East and West side who cost the local drug lord big bucks by busting all of his drug deals, so he has them framed and sent to prison. They escape of course in order to clear their names and seek retribution. You could probobly find it on VHS for a few bucks at the local pawn shop.....just don't expect Shakespeare. Appriciate it for what it is.

5-0 out of 5 stars Plenty of Action!!
Lots of action for gals (like me!), watchin Sly and Kurt's cute buns and hot bods running through this movie- also Terri Hatcher is great for the guys to see, she can act but not dance ha ha- lots of one-liner wisecracks and great second performances- Jack Palance as a hilarious chief villain, Geoffrey Lewis (who, incidentally, didn't get listed in the credits!)Clint Howard and more! As fine of a plot as one expects for an action flick, come on, its a MOVIE!! and a mighty FUN one, at that! Two L.A. cops, rivalling for headlines & high total of drug busts, and the bad guys that try to take them out! Not to mention lots of zany characters along the way- WHY can't hollywood make a Clive Cussler Novel like this? Funny, witty, lots of action, just like its written! as the Aussie villain puts it, "Balls to plan A!!" as a "B" movie, this one gets MY vote!! Hope you have fun watching it!:) ... Read more

At long last, one of the seminal films of the Melanie Griffith oeuvre is now available. Cherry 2000 is the heartwarming tale of Sam Treadwell (David Andrews), who will stop at nothing to find another model of his broken sex android. Griffith plays E. Johnson, the tough-as-nails tracker who helps him track her down. As deliriously chowderheaded as the premise of the movie sounds, it's actually not half bad and immensely fun to watch. The surprisingly mature plot (nobody gets naked!) involves Treadwell's gradual discovery that there's more to a good woman than a beautiful body and perfect subservience. Don't worry, there are plenty of explosions to keep you from getting bored. Griffith absolutely owns the movie--she looks like a complete badass handling surface-to-air missiles, though of course she still sounds like she picked up diction tips from early Shirley Temple movies. The DVD version includes the invaluable documentary "The Making of Cherry 2000" and the option of watching the entire film dubbed into French. Do not pass up the French version: it really brings out the art. --Ali Davis ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Losing my "Cherry 2000"
It's not fair sometimes that movies as cool as "Cherry 2000" are unavailable for periods of time! This movie should be a main staple! It's got an exciting plot and it's so cheesy and fun, I can't tell you how many times I've come home after a bad day and turned to this movie! Another cool aspect of the film is the cinematography and the Basil Poledouris music score! They are so over the top and enthralling! It's an undiscovered classic that I'm glad to have found!

4-0 out of 5 stars Cherry Comes Home To DVD!
Movie Summary: Sam Treadwell's perfect robot wife, model Cherry 2000, breaks down. He wants to get her fixed because he thinks he loves her. But in post apocalyptic LA, there aren't any parts. He hears a rumor of a giant warehouse of Cherrys out in the wasteland. The problem is getting there, and getting back alive. To improve his odds he hires a tracker named E. Johnson (played by Griffith) who turns out to be a very unique and real woman, something that Sam has never encountered before. As E and Sam fight their way across the wasteland and into the warehouse, Sam learns a little something about real women and real love.

My Opinion: This movie is a ton of fun. At first glance it may not seem like much, but when you watch it, it pulls you in and takes over. Sure it's a bit silly at times, but it has more depth than other movies of this type. There is a full blown plot and a moral to the story. The action is good, and Griffith is great. It's one of those guilty pleasures movies that you are embarrassed to admit that you like. It's very easy and fun to watch making it one that you will watch more than once.

DVD Quality: Widescreen anamorphic, trailer, and making of documentary make this a nice little DVD

What You Should Do: Buy it. If you are a SciFi fan you need this one. The price couldn't be better!

5-0 out of 5 stars I flew one of these things in the border wars.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It's not just the corny story line that I love it's the concept the America in the future. From dating to robot chicks to anarchy, to the border wars this movie has it all.
But I must say the DVD cover is atrocious. What were they thinking? E. Johnson never wore leather and her hair was never as fluffy. The cover makes this classic look like an X rated movie. I also wish that there were more features on the DVD but there was not really a demand for it.

3-0 out of 5 stars There's a lot more to love than hot wiring.
In terms of post apocalyptic sci-fi action type movies, this one isn't too bad. A little goofy for my tastes, but the humor was subtle and the action okay.

David Andrews (Graveyard Shift, Hannibal, Apollo 13) stars as Sam Treadwell, as somewhat well to do individual in the post apocalyptic near future. He prefers the company of a highly sophisticated pleasure bot, a model called Cherry 2000, to that of the messy entanglements of a relationship with a woman. Only problem is, during a romantic interlude, his Cherry 2000 get water in her system and suffers a complete internal meltdown. Removing the personality chip which contains voice patterns, mannerisms, etc., he sets out to find a replacement, which is easier said than done, as that model is nearly impossible to come by, and highly coveted. He gets a tip that there is a whole warehouse of the Cherry 2000 model in a warehouse, problem is the warehouse is located in wastelands, a highly restrictive and dangerous area.

Sam decides to hire a tracker to go and retrieve him a new unit, and meets with Edith E. Johnson, played by Melanie Griffith. So Sam and Edith set off in her souped up Ford Mustang, into the wastelands. After a skirmish or two, they encounter one of the more feared groups of the wastelands, led by Lester, played by Tim Thomerson (Trancers, Who's Harry Crumb, Air America). Lester and his gang live what I would call a little suburb of the desert called Sky Ranch, and detest trackers. Why they hate trackers, I don't know, as it's never explained, but they do, so I went with it.

Avoiding capture and also avoiding getting blown up, Sam and Edith eventually meet up with Six Fingered Jake, played by Ben Johnson, veteran actor of more western movies than I care to mention, and winner of an academy award for his role in The Last Picture Show (1971). He's a semi-retired tracker who provides a safe haven for Sam and Edith.

After a short rest, the two start out again, but get waylaid by Lester and his gang, and Sam ends up getting kidnapped. Sam escapes from Lester, causing much damage to Sky Ranch, and Lester and his cronies pursue. Sam and Edith finally come to where the Cherry 2000 units are, with Lester and Co. in hot pursuit. Oh yeah, there's a sort of love interest between Sam and Edith that develops and is kind of important around the end of the movie.

A decent movie, but a couple glaring inconsistencies in the continuity. The biggest one I can remember is when Lester and his gang are chasing Sam and Edith through the desert, following in a Jeep and a small truck. They stop at some point, open the back of the truck, and four ATVs pull out of the truck. In the next scene, we see the jeep and about 10 to 15 ATVs. Unless that was some kind of magical truck with a transdimensional wormhole in the back, I have no idea where all the other ATVs came from. And the scene with the car hanging from the giant magnet attached to the crane...if one of Lesters men was operating the crane, why did he keep moving the crane? Lesters men were trying to shoot at the car hanging from the crane, but were unable to get a bead on it due to it kept moving...just made no sense.
I found it interesting that Melanie Griffith made this movie well into her career, and after her much better movie, Something Wild. This type of movie just seems like one that an actor would be in before they became famous, like Jennifer Aniston in Leprechan.

As for extra features, there is a 'Making of...' documentary (cough, cough) if you can call it that. It's like six minutes long, 2 minutes of which is the trailer, and looks like a bad high school production. There is also a trailer for the movie. Watching the trailer, I noticed a few scenes not in the movie. One scene is where Lester shoots a woman in the head, and her body goes flying backwards into a pool of water. In the actual movie, we see Lester fire his gun in the direction of the woman who is off screen, and that's it. Also, in the trailer there is a scene where Edith is changing in another room, and comes out with her shirt unbuttoned, allowing us to see part of her chest (not all) in a view where she's facing the camera. In the movie, we get more of a side view and a much more limited view. Since this movie is rated PG-13, I am assuming that these two scenes probably got nixed from the movie to avoid an R rating, but nice to see they were put into the trailer.

5-0 out of 5 stars Fun Movie. Fast and Brainless. What's wrong with that?
I love this movie. Was a favorite ever since I first saw it in the theater. Cool locations and sets. Good cast and funny circumstances. The bar scene in the beginning cracks me up and Lester the bad guy is awesome. Not Raiders of the Lost Ark, but well worth your time. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Samurai Cop
Sure to be a cult classic here in the states as it was in Europe. There's plenty of action and full breasted babes in action to keep you interested when the dialogue gets you laughing. Not to mention a mullet here or there. So, your best bet may be to watch it with the Joe Bob Briggs commentary track. A group of friends and I watched it together and Joe Bob's comments had us laughing our asses off. I guess there's no chance for a sequel since most of the cool characters die by hara-kiri, beheading, death by sword, fire or get shot off a roof. But our hero and his partner could always return..if there not in convalescent home by now. If you can't get your hands on the DVD don't despair, this film will surely show up on, "Dinner and a movie", or "Mystery Science 3000".

5-0 out of 5 stars Keep 'em coming, Joe Bob!
The only reason to get this dvd is for the Joe Bob Briggs commentary track. The film itself is laughable. There's even an introduction by Joe Bob! So, I'm sayin' "check it out" and if you like it, check out Joe Bob's other dvd commentary tracks on "I Spit on Your Grave (millenium edition)", "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter", and "The Double D Avenger". ...

5-0 out of 5 stars one of the worst movies i've ever seen--i love it!
if i had more money, i'd buy the unMSTed version of this movie. i think it's one of my favorite movies that MST3K ever did, but of my least favorite episodes. mike and the bots are not in top form on this one. the movie is great though. travis brooks stewart is awesome. the whole prostitute-turned-nun subplot was great. the music is really cool too. gratuitous voice-overs, plastic dinosaurs, what more do you want?

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Sci-fi movie of it's decade... Absolutely beautiful.
This fantastic movie stars the incredible Daniel Bernhardt and a bunch of other top-notch actors. The 'hero' is a run-away slave, fleeing the Master Race of Cyborgs that have enslaved humankind in space! Fed up with slavery and abuse, Bernhardt jumps on a shuttle and heads to Earth, winding up in California. His former masters, however, have other plans! They've come after him, unwilling to lose even one of their precious servents... For the truth is, as advanced and powerful as the cyborgs are, they have one ultimate weakness- They lack opposable thumbs. Bernhardt, obviously equipped with very unique thumbs, must battle for his freedom against relentless cyborgs and their terrible dinosaur trackers! Also worth noting is the splendid use of cardboard boxes in this film. Quite frankly, I think they spent their entire budget on boxes. But you really have to see this to really believe it, and understand it's greatness.

2-0 out of 5 stars Come for the dinosaurs, stay for the laughs!
This film was featured in an episode of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," and one viewing will show you why. The plot is simple: a runaway slave (Bernhardt) escapes from a spaceship to Earth, pursued by his cyborg masters and their dinosaur trackers. On the way he (literally) runs into a novice nun who is a former prostitute and drug addict. She helps him hide from the hunters, and he helps her sort out a crisis of faith. Along the way there are bad special effects, cheesy forced-perspective dinosaur puppets (held close to the camera, they seem massive), and diabolical acting.

In spite of it all, this movie manages to transcind itself and become funny. The fight sequences are a riot, and the special effects are as good for laughs as anything "Dark Shadows" or the original "Star Trek" ever produced. And all in all, the storyline isn't any worse than that of "Jurassic Park" or "Star Wars"; the biggest failing is the low budget and too much reliance on fight scenes to carry the action. If you're looking for a film to pass the time or entertain friends, this one will do the trick ... especially for fans of the "Soap Opera Game" or Mystery Science Theater watchers who want to see the original movie uncut.

5-0 out of 5 stars 5 starz for the MST3K episode!
In March 2001, I became a loyal fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. (The first episode I saw was "Puma Man") Well, the first time I saw this horrible film on MST3K, I nearly died laughing! It is probably the most hilarious episode of MST3K in their final season. (Great commentary by Mike and the 'bots) The main synopsis of this putrid filth on film is that these dinos with exploding collers are sent to the future to kill humans and something else involving cyborgs. A Jeane-Claude Van Damme look-alike named Runaway is sent back in time to present day LA and meets up with a prostitute/druggie turned nun who lives in the house of the obese. Runaway then ends up in a crate factory where he confronts this cyborg who actually looks like an insane version of Alan Jackson (Tom Servo makes a point of this) They kickbox each other in a badly choreographed fight, which they end up doing again at the end where Runaway's shirt falls off of him (This scene was the stinger for the MST3K episode) The dinosaurs obviously look plasic, the story goes no where fast, the acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, the pathetic attempt at suspence and drama just falls flat on its face and the cyborg dude is a dumb.... On the big plus side, the stupidy of this film offered tons of hilarious dialogue for Mike and the 'bots and now is one of my favorite episodes. If you have to see this movie, you have to see the MST3K version! I promise you, you won't regret it. (However, for all you MSTies out there, you'll have to catch it on the Sci-Fi channel and tape it because so far it is not available on video or DVD)

1-0 out of 5 stars Crummy - Reprehensible - Abhorrent - Purile
As you can tell from the other interviews this movie is just about the worst film ever made. Let me see how many different words I can use to describe it:

Boring - Unbearable - Laughable - Lousy

Stupid - Horrible - Insipid - Terrible

I could go on with such descriptions but you probably get the point.

Daniel Bernhardt is a horrible actor and has no individual characteristics that make him stand out. I see that he is going to be in both MATRIX sequels. While I loved the MATRIX I now have serious doubts as to the quality of the sequel.

I wouldn't watch this film voluntarily but I may make my kids watch it the next time I need to punish them. ... Read more

Two outlandishly oafish outlaws grab a getaway car to escape pursuing police, only to discover they've jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire! Unnoticed by the fleeing cons, hidden in the back seat are three resourceful kids--Casey, John and Kerry- each one a bundle of 11-year-old mischief and energy! Once the crooks discover the kids, they begin making plans to hold them hostages--until Casey throws them a curve by throwing up (his specialty is "puking on cue."). The disgusted bad guys decide they can't stand barfing kids in the back seat, so they decide to drop the youngsters off, deep within the woods of mysterious Wolf Mountain Park. There, according to Indian legend, exists a "wolf spirit" who brings secret powers to those who follow the trail of honor and justice. Given the power of the legend, our three adventuresome kids decide to put the bad guys back where they belong, setting a series of outlandish traps to hammer the crooks into surrender until the police can catch up!

5-0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
I first saw this movie when I was 11 (18 now) and it is my favorite movie of all time. It's everything I ever dreamed of -- I was a lot like that girl, and to meet with an indian spirit in the body of a wolf? Myth and reality blend into an amazing adventure; have I mentioned the beautiful scenery? Especially when you hear the scream of an eagle...anyway, there's also a ton of humor that cracks me up every time. I think I've rented this movie a dozen times. All of the characters work well together; especially the girl's father and sisters. If you like nature and Indian myth, you'll love this.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Film!
If you have children they need to see this film! Even though I am older I love this movie. It will make a great gift or stocking stuffer. So, go out and purchase or rent this movie...it is cute, funny, adventurous and wonderful!

5-0 out of 5 stars Kids Out-Smart the Bad Guys
No wonder my four kids love this film! The three children manage to outsmart, humiliate, and ultimately capture two very dangerous bank robbers who are hunting them down in the wilderness. There are many fun moments, and just the right dash of suspense to keep it moving. Put this tape on for your kids if you and your spouse would enjoy 90-minutes alone... it's a guaranteed kids-sitter!

5-0 out of 5 stars It was a great movie!
My mom helped me write this letter because I am only 7 years old. I think that THE LEDGEND OF WOLF MOUNTAIN is the best movie that I have ever seen. I especially like Mickey Rooney in the movie and wish that I could be in a movie like this some day. I recommend this movie for all children my age!

1-0 out of 5 stars A noble effort for a novice screenwriter, but no cigar.
Come on. A Tonya Harding and John Stamos look alike are paired together. Combined with a coke addict preparing for a huge comb-over and Joe Estevez, this movie is horrible. I mean, does Joe Estevez star in anything? With film credits like Werewolf, how can ANYTHING star him? Vivian Schilling tried to write a brilliant screenplay, but it lost its edge somewhere in the process. The only good thing about this movie was the side-splitting commentary on MST3K, I can in no manner recommend this film, for any reason.

1-0 out of 5 stars the SOUUUUUUUULLLTAKAAAA!!!!!!
The first time I saw this movie was on my favorite show, MST3k, and my god, I'm glad I didn't see it anywhere else. This movie is C-RAP! I have no idea how some of these guy's are calling it a "classic"! The only classic it could be is a classic MST3k episode! And what do you mean. "the show didn't really give it the justice it desereved"? There's no justice to be given! Please let me encourage you not to buy this video. However, be free to watch it on MST3k.

5-0 out of 5 stars Original Version of this movie fun for Sci Fi fans
This movie was roasted on MST3K. But the original uncut version is fun viewing for fans of the genre.

I saw this movie when it was on Mystery Science Theature 3000. This was by far, one of the worst movies they have ever watched. It was prime for comments, and great for making fun of. If you want to watch this movie, I hope your watching to make cracks at it. If your watching because you think its going to be good...you might as well put it back. This movie is horrible. The woman who plays the leading lady role in it wrote the movie as well. Hopefully she won't write anymore.

4-0 out of 5 stars A MST2K Version Of "Halloween 2".
Soultaker is as though MSTK2K created their own version of the sequel to Halloween. Soultaker is basically a mix of a stupid plot and lame screenplay. But...there is alot of good that comes out of this. The movie was so bad, that you could almost overlook the silly part of it, even though it is hard. Joe Estevez really wasn't that bad in it...his performance was at least kinda realistic. Actually...this reminded me of Phantasam. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The best horror film of it's kind.
New York city is being terrorized by a series of murders and the public breaks into panic when the killer is a cop. Yes indeed, this is a film with a story that has not bee used befor, something new, and director William Lustig (MANIAC) and writter Larry Cohen (IT'S ALIVE) make this a good B-movie if youare looking for action, a few scares, and good acting. MANIAC COP 2 and 3 are good (but not as good as this) movies if you can find them.

1987. TWE. 92 MINS.

I found Maniac Cop to be a great action/horror film. Director William Lustig continues his crusade to make good flicks(like Relentless,Uncle Sam,and the classic Maniac). This film is among his best. Robert Z'Dar(a truely underrated actor)plays the psycho cop who stalks the streets of NY. Tom Atkins(Halloween III)is on his trail. Maniac Cop's sequels were not on par with the original, but all three films are worth a look, especially the well done original.

5-0 out of 5 stars out of print?
This is a great cult flick! I can't believe it's out of print! What the heck is wrong with these people? Don't they like to make money? Re-master this puppy and get it on the shelves!

3-0 out of 5 stars At least Bruce Campbell's in it...
And believe me, that's about all this movie has going for it. It's your typical low-budget freak/monster B-movie. There is little to nothing in the way of originality in this film and should be avoided by anyone who doesn't love B-movies. It lacks the humor and imagination of many other movies of this genre.

Having said that, though, it does star Bruce Campbell (star of the Evil Dead trilogy) as the hero and just about any movie starring BC is worth watching at least once. There's nothing terribly exciting about his performance here, but... it's Bruce Campbell.

It should also be said that this DVD comes with some excellent extras, considering that it's such a low-budget, relatively unknown, cult film. With many DVDs of this genre, you're lucky if you have any special features at all. Deleted scenes, trailers, commentary, etc. A very nice surprise.

5-0 out of 5 stars DVD review
If you loved EVIL DEAD you will like this movie.
The DVD has a better quality than the old VHS, but it still could have been better.
The film is shown widescreen (1.85:1) and is not enhanced for 16x9. The quality is ok, but for Elite standards. A lot of the colors seem faded but this could be due to the age and budget of the film. A lot of the night scenes are too way too dark and grain can be spotted in several scenes. The laser had a much better brighter transfer. The sound is Dolby Digital Surround and sounds nice, but it seems to be Stereo and not Surround. The spoken word and music score is crystal clear with no pops but your speakers don't get much work.
You get the films original theatrical trailer, which is shown widescreen. The picture quality on the trailer hasn't been cleaned up. There is a lot of grain and most of the picture is very dark. You also get two television spots, which are shown full frame and both look like the trailer. Each is dark with grain running through them. You also get a trailer from France that is spoken in French with no subtitles. The picture looks a looks a lot worse than the previous trailer. There is also a Spanish radio spot, which is spoken is Spanish with no subtitles. There are also six extra scenes that were filmed for Japan television. These scenes are nice but don't add anything special to the film. Finally, there is an audio commentary with director Lustig, producer Cohen, Bruce Campbell and Jay Chattaway. The commentary is one of the best out there. Everyone is constantly talking and a lot of great stories are told about the making of the film.

Overall A fun movie if you don't expect too much out of it. The video is somewhat disappointing but the audio is nice. The extras are definitely the best thing about this DVD. ... Read more
