Ring of the Musketeers (1992)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Very well executed

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Hopefully in a few years, "Ring Of The Musketeers" will become a cult classic. It has everything you want: David Hasselhoff "acting" and "singing", Cheech Marin being a Mexican stereotype, and lots more! The plot is about John Smith D'Artagnan played by The Hoff, who is a musketeer. Smith and his two other musketeers fight crime for a living. Smith seeks out the missing fourth musketeer, who is played by Cheech. The whole movie is fun. Cheech tells jokes, and The Hoff doesn't laugh. It's great. Hasselhoff thinks he's doing Shakespeare with this film. Watch it tonight Or buy it! I did! For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

As a avid fan of the Muskateir legend, author of several essays and books on the Muskatear mythology and expert on the mythos, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this account, THE RING OF THE MUSKATEEERS, is the real deal. This reelly happened. It's what the original author (can't remember his name at this point) had envisioned when he wrote the original story, complete with the cerebral comedy of comic foil, Cheech. He'd outlined the idea of a future Muskiteer band of descendants riding what he called "moto-horses" and a form of music called "shake and spill" played by the Johnny character. Maybe some pedestrian fans of the Moskuter movies might disagree, but this one pretty much captures the true essence of what should be considered the PENULTIMATE Mouskateers movie. I advise you to not only seek out RING OF THE MUSKATEIRS, but burn all copies of Muskateeeer movies you have in effigy. There not worthy of existence, in my eduacated opinion. In fact, if you know of anyone who owns the Keefr Suthrland movie with the dreamy Oliver Platt, borrow their copy and break it in half on your knee. Just smile, tell them, "I think you loaned me THIS one" and hand them a copy of THE RING OF THE MUSKITIURS. You'll be glad you did.

This made for TV movie may not be at the level of Shakespeare, but it doesn't have to be. It is meant to be light entertainment, in other words you don't have to think too hard. I watched it originally because John Paragon directed it. (He also has a small role as the air control supervisor). I re-watched it because it's just fun and a bit silly.The only performers credited I recognized were John Rhys-Davies, David Hasselhoff, Corbin Bernsen and Cheech Marin. But it has several surprise performances in small parts. Keep an eye-out for Cassandra Peterson (Elvira), Edie McClurg, Lynne Marie Stewart (Pee Wee's Playhouse's Miss Yvonne), and Suzanne Kent (Pee Wee's Playhouse's Mrs. Rene).

Even for David Hasselhoff this is bad--so achingly awful that "Knight Rider" seems like Shakespeare in comparison. To sum things up: Hasselhoff and some other lame people are the descendants of the original 4 Musketeers (their last names are even the same as the originals), and with the passing of the rings of their ancestors down through the generations has passed an obligation to "help" people. As silly as that sounds, the actual execution is even sillier. John Rhys Davies plays their equivalent to Charlie's Angel's Bosley, in such an overbearing, over-the-top fashion that you'd think when he assembles the team from all over the world to save a kidnapped child that he was assembling them to stop the destruction of the entire planet.Hasselhoff's character, John Smith D'Artagnan, is a rock star who, in typical Hasselhoff direct-to-Germany fashion, stands on top of a truck at one point and holds an impromptu rock concert--which spontaneously draws hundreds of screaming adoring fans--ranging from young children to old ladies. He also has a little Van-Dyke type beard--kind of like Michael Knight's evil version, but a bit friendlier! Also, he walks around the modern day dressed in frilly shirts--you know... just to remind us that he's a Musketeer.Alison Doody plays the hot female Musketeer, Ann Marie Athos(with suspiciously mid-1980's hair for the early-1990's),, who is a "Love Doctor" on the radio, when she's not wearing leather, riding a motorcycle, and saying phrases like "I want to take that punk down".Thomas Gottschalk--Peter Porthos--is some slimy Eurotrash type who spends most of the movie staring at Athos' ass.The newest Musketeer is Burt Aramis (Cheech Marin) who has been "found" with the 4th ring--which has apparently been lost since the time of the Civil War. Much of the drama of the later part of the movie has to do with him fitting into the Musketeers (Burt is a crook), except for the portion of that half of the movie which has to do with the gang taking down the same mobster who kidnapped the little boy in the first half of the movie.If you insist on watching this, have a big container of Maalox to go along with your tub of popcorn.
