A film to embody the Eighties, and justify them
July 22, 2005
The high-octane action comedy takes all that was worthwhile from decades of B-flicks and distills it into a maximum-concentration explosion of cinematic TNT.

Works as a stand alone classic that features John Carpenter at his best.

Russell and Carpenter make a great team.

Benefits from a rollicking wise-ass performance from Kurt Russell but otherwise falls limp courtesy of too many corny gags.

Imperfect, yes...but still great cultish fun with Kurt Russell.

Special effects don't mean much unless we care about the characters who are surrounded by them, and in this movie the characters often seem to exist only to fill up the foregrounds.

A 'B'-movie-style Western meets Eastern, a supernatural 'chopsocky' fantasy with leading man Kurt Russell doing a feature-length impression of a dead movie star. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. [Blu-ray]

This is a bizarre, fun, action packed film, filled with wild characters and an adventurous, imaginative and campy spirit.
August 09, 2016
Violent 1980s martial-arts movie is a campy guilty pleasure.

An upscale send-up.

Contains the single drop-dead funniest moment in all of Carpenter's filmography.
