5.0 out of 5 stars man I want this on DVD, October 31, 2009

Look, I'm not going to write here and tell you how this was a great movie, even though I gave it five stars myself. You'll probably only like this movie if you saw it when it came out. Maybe you were 13 or 14, didn't drive yet. Walked to the local video store and rented this movie for $2. Repeatedly. Watched it. Repeatedly. Its a story about aggressive, popular kids getting rid of the high school "losers" in the most over the top way possible. Extreme karate kid. The worst teacher in school is in on it. Will the geeks and the punks overcome? Will the nerdy smart kid get the hot girl? Will he be tempted by the cool kids or stand up for his loser friends? Come on. You know what's going to happen. The whole movie is high school freshman loser fantasy.

And for providing that, I give you five stars.

Better than average soundtrack as I remember. Although kind of a weird mix of TSOL and Robert Palmer if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, good fun. Somebody should put this out on DVD please.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cult Classic Possibly..., June 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Dangerously Close [VHS] (VHS Tape)

but you'll have to see for yourself. However, if you don't find this movie at all interesting it's certainly not for a lack of ambience, the cinematography is as gorgeous as any I've ever seen. For fans of the 80's direct to video market.

4.0 out of 5 stars Actually bad, but cultic and unbelievably entertaining!, January 10, 2004

By 

SEBASTIAN ZIERAU (Krefeld, NRW Deutschland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dangerously Close [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For me DANGEROUSLY CLOSE is one of those films, which are absolutely underrated!
AVENGING FORCE, AMERICAN NINJA, AMERICAN GOTHIC... al those films are of the same class and contain some very cultic elements which make these films very worthy!

Relative 4 stars!
