it grate my potato when i read review on this site that say thing like this be bad film ever . about film like battlefield earth and pearl harbour and etc . ok and these film be dreadful and make by people who should know good but compare to this tripe and and it ilk and i would describe battlefield earth a a cinematic masterpiece . i would concede that it certainly possible to make a bad film than this but you have to be genuinely try to make a bad film . spoiler ahead ( ha and a if you could spoil this film . ) there be just so many thing wrong with this film and it take multiple viewing to spot them . e. g. and at one point and john and a good guy and while try to come up with a plan with rescue billy sister suggests use his adopted child a decoy . also and the bad guy kidnaps billy sister early and doesn not think of use her a bait to capture billy until right at the end of the film . even the one thing that they seem to have put a bit of effort into the gun base action sequence be bad . theyre just boring and repetitive . however and i learnt several interesting thing from this movie represent1 . wherever this film be set and it be certainly a very cosmopolitan area . the lead character and who seem to have live here all his life and have manage to pick up a south african accent . the evil gangster all seem to sound mexican and or or asian . the woman have an array of different and peculiar american accent . ( be the dub actor have bet on who could do most stupid voice . ) 2. be brutally machine gun down result in no more than slight bleed from the mouth ( and then only sometimes ) . 3. any slight brush against a ninja sword result in instantaneous death . 4. ninja and i. e. stealth assassin and wear day glo padded suit . a headband with ninja write on it be the current must have ninja accessory . 5. job prospect be poor for asian ninja nowadays . ( you would think billy would have think of that before go off to spend 10 year at ninja school . ) however and many of the causasian one seem to have job that involve poncing about in glade . 6. when a ninja die and a windchime somewhere fall down . nevertheless and this film be a hoot . i honestly can not decide if this it be really as bad this or if someone be take the piss especially with regard to the randomly intersperse ninja sequence and the godawful dubbing . thoroughly recommend .
