4.0 out of 5 stars Bad but Highly Entertaining, July 27, 2011

By

This review is from: Alien Warrior [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Alien Warrior" is a low-budget movie that manages to combine a messianic "alien warrior" with a lot of fistfights, gunfights, nudity, drug-dealing, and gangs. The movie is a strange mix of an After-School Special and a 70s action movie. In fact, the movie crams more characters and subplots into 100 minutes than half-a-dozen bad movies do. This alone makes the movie interesting.

Some twists:
* The hero relives the violence that he has inflicted upon others.
* The Pachucos that are turned from their evil ways do *not* have happy endings. They still make poor, violent choices and revert to their previous behaviors, albeit for a good cause.
* Corrupt policemen are *not* caught and punished.
* The Space Shuttle program is an inspiration for one of the street kids

Some oddities:
* Not one but two attempted sexual assaults on the lead female
* Lots of martial arts
* Break-dancing
* A driller-killer

This movie has stereotypes: black pimps, black drug dealers, Pachucos with fancy cars, etc. This may be offensive to some.

While "Alien Warrior" can not be taken too seriously, it does mirror life in many ways. Few loose ends are tied up, and life goes on. The ending is not completely satisfying, but it fits the movie perfectly.

1.0 out of 5 stars The video lies when it says "Fishburne" is in this film, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Alien Warrior (or, "King of the Streets") [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Neither Lawrence Fishburne, nor any other Fishburne is actually in this film. The lead black actor is named Reggie De Morton. The film was originally released in the late 1980s as "Alien Warrior" with the correct actors listed on the video jacket, but then when it was re-released in the mid 1990s the distributors put a picture of Reggie De Morton on the cover along with catch phrases which hinted that Lawrence Fishburne was a part of the film. It seems they figured that all black people looked alike, and apparently Amazon.Com has fallen for the con so much so that they now spread this false advertisement as well.

This review is from: King of the Streets [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Having worked on the movie as a production assistant in 1984, I can safely say this is a film in the spirit of Ed Wood. My chief memory is working late at night on skid row in downtown LA wondering if the security guard would really come to our aid if something happened (and also wondering about what, exactly, the producer of this film was using to keep him so hyped up late into the night).

I saw if recently on television and was amazed that it was worse than I thought it would be. So, break out some popcorn and invite the friends over for this none to subtle reworking of Starman meets Hercules (well, the guy kinda looks like he should be in one of those bad Italian movies from the 50's and early 60's).
