Dead Men Can't Dance (1997)

Simply A Masterpiece

Fantastic!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Did they not even stop to check to make sure they were using the correct rifles? the M-16 A-2 mod was adopted in the mid 1980s based on a requirement by the Marine Corps and did away with the fully automatic setting. It was replaced with 3 round burst. The hand guards were also modified (both are round) in later models. Also, at the end, the Yong San sign is spelled wrong (it says US Eight Army when it should say US Eighth Army).It's a somewhat entertaining B movie, all in all. About what I expected, though the quality of the writing doesn't do the actors and actresses abilities justice. Ah, also, the instructor at the end was one of her training squad. I don't recall her rank, but obviously you don't get selected to be an instructor at Ranger school less than a month after you graduate from said school.

I have a hard time giving this movie a 1 star (awful), simply because, I did not want to degrade all the other movies that are rated 1 star.I missed the beginning, but I assume, they went to a strip club, found 6 hot women, and gave them guns and tight uniforms, made them "Rangers" of all things and sent them to North Korea to destroy a nuke plant. This movie is predictable and annoying. Bad acting, lots of male ego, women crying on the battlefield, this movie just plain sucks.Personally, I have yet to see a worse movie.... I have seen diaper and paper towel commercials that had better plots and better character development than this gem.

This movie was bad. And i usually like the low budget military movies. The only thing that i even half liked about the movie was the knife fight between Michael Bien and Adrian Paul. And it was kinda crappy. You would think with two action movie and tv show veterans like them at least the fight scenes would be better than they were. Ah hell. I could barely sat through the movie once. NEVER AGAIN

I was totally sucked in by the video cover.I love movies about small unit warfare (Sniper, 84 Charlie Mopic, Platoon even) and a movie starring Michael Biehn (Navy Seals) couldn't be totally rock bottom, even for a video rental? No such luck, though. Instead of being a movie of a small unit stuck behind the lines, it turns into a "we're going to prove women soldiers are just as good as men, and we're going to prove it in North Korea" howler come exploitation movie - except there are no decent shower scenes.Watch the great R. Lee Ermey wasted in a throw away role. Watch Hiep Thi Lay (Heaven And Earth) go through 'Nam flashbacks when faced with a concrete cylinder "tunnel" (people, she's a girl going through Ranger training, how old is she supposed to be in this - 35? 45?).All I can say is that the producers of this junk should be fragged.Why, you ask? I'll tell you why.It's because "Dead Men Can't Dance".Alex
