U.S. Seals II: The Ultimate Force (2001)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Thanks for the memories!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Def worth either a 10, or a 1... because you either love or hate this movie. I really wonder if the directors/actors/sound effects guy were actually trying to make a god-awful movie or not, but if they did they succeeded cause its just sooo bad its good. I rented it for my boyfriend and his roommates, and we all sat around laughing hysterically and drinking for every fake "whoosh" added in... They just couldn't get over the impaling/"its OK, i'm fine" scene or the scene where a guy gets shot and does a back somersault into a boat. Def had the best "oh-my-god,-did-they-just-really-do-that" ending ever in the history of movies. Bottome line-- don't watch if you actually wanna watch a good movie, but watch if you feel like a good laugh.

Watching the movie, I thought I was watching an episode of Power Rangers, and saw the comment asking the same thing. Maybe it's because Sophia was actually a stunt double for the Pink Power Ranger-Seemed like the Power Rangers, unmasked... caricature of characters, with the action elevated to HK style levels. I took the whoosh whoosh as a parody of the usual action flicks, and can't imagine anyone expecting it was to be taken seriously. Saw an on air broadcast, so I imagine much of the stuff was clipped; didn't see any nudity, gratuitous or otherwise, and maybe where the bad guy got cleaved. Now why he didn't just jump off the ride; hmm?

Amazing, that movies like this are still being made. You know those sounds, that the clothes of martial artists make when they execute techniques at high speed? Well, in this movie, these sounds can be made by moving one's head - even shifting one's eyes. It is obviously not supposed to be a funny movie, so what the hell are the filmmakers thinking? Cheesy and ridiculous beyond belief. I'm stunned.

Ok lets start with the obvious, this movie is bad. Awful script, awful acting, unbelievably atrocious dialogue, budget the size of a car insurance advert and you could go on and on about how awful the film is.... but you would be wrong.Just like a nugget of gold wrapped in layers and layers .... and layers of mud, get beneath the surface (really far beneath the surface)there is treasure to be found.Lets start with the premise which is just an excellent excuse for some martial arts action. Ok ridiculously insane and evil bad guy has nukes and where is he launching them from? an island where the nuclear fallout of a past conflict would make a single gunshot ignite the whole island. (I am sure there is a reason why launching the nukes won't but I can't remember). So good guy puts together a crack squad of martial arts experts with dodgy pasts and different weapon specialities and prepares to kick ass. The film quickly reaches high octane stupidness, with hundreds of people battling it out in surprisingly well choreographed fight scenes.The complete over the topness of the film gives it an infectious fun feel, a film which is the equivalent to a whole day spent in the pub with your best mates. This film is incredibly funny. Regardless of action taken a huge swishing noise accompanies it. I need to adjust my glasses (swish), I am going stand up (swish swish), I am walking (swish swish swish swish). The dialogue is hilarious and the fight scenes are sometimes outrageously funny, especially the closing fight scenes which are over the top brilliance. Sure its all unintentional funniness but its still funny.Yes over the top martial arts violence, strippers and swearing. This is an excellent example of must watch with beer and mates category of action films.In short its not big, its certainly not clever, in fact its not even any good. It deserves 2 or 3 it gets hmm 7.
