5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! I WISH I HAD GONE TO THIS SCHOOL, January 4, 2006

This review is from: Demolition High [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'd call this Corey Haim's comeback performance. He's been in so many cheesy films, we had all wondered. Seeing school students held hostage by terrorist is amazing until one transfer boy from New York saved everybody. It was gorey seeing on terrorist got his head in a band saw. I loved seeing the lady terrorist get stabbed by a bunch of pencils shot from a fire extinguisher.

I will admit. This was nowhere near as good as die hard. I liked this though. It was entertaining, and the acting was good.

This review is from: Demolition High [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"When a group of terrorists (led by Luther) take over a high school making the students in it their hostages, it is up to several of the students (led by Lenny) to help prevent disaster while the authorities (Slater and General Wainwright) do their part on the other side."
(keep in mind, there is no mention of Alan Thicke or Corey Haim)

Ok, I digress...
This is going to be more like a super paragraph...

Demoltion High has taught me many things. The most important thing I have learned from Demolition High is that suicide is an option. An option that director Jim Wynorski should have taken before this movie was released. I will never dismiss a movie for bad acting. It happens. you can have a movie with terrible acting, and the premise is still ok. However, this movie contains NO acting. In the first few scenes, about 23 children are herded into a gym to be taken hostage. The terrorist are walking around with ak47's, and no one thinks it is strange, except for Cory haim who actually says "something about this does not seem right"!!! Well back to no acting. The children sit in the gym, looking almost bored with the terrorists as they shoot into the air all around them. I think I even caught a girl in the back yawning at one point. Not only is it the worst dialogue ever written, it actually makes the CT cast of high school dogs look like brad pitt and george clooney interacting in oceans eleven.
Now on to story. It is a can't miss plot. Terrorist take over a school. We have seen it before, but it always works right? WRONG! First off, school is out for the day, only 23 students are taken hostage. The new hotshot detective in town (thicke) actually has a son in the building (haim), add to this the worst acting school bully ever. EVER. Like acutally the worst school bully ever. I can not stress this enough. Makes Pinto look like Johnny Lawrence (KK). Add the terrible acting to the terrible un-scared teens involved, I mean these kids could care less about the terrorists, keep in mind there are only four terrorists in the movie (they pull up in a white car and shot like 50 cops, with a great "line" every time they pull the trigger), yet when it all goes down there are like a million in the school. The terrorists have no demands, or reason to even be there. They are just there. Like I am not kiding, there is never any cop/terrorist phone calls. The cops just try to get the kids out. It is really bizzare. I would love to tell you how this movie ended, because like I said I had to turn it off with like 4 minutes left. Who does that? I watched the whole thing, and it really got THAT UNBEARABLE with 4 minutes left I could not finish it. I assume, all the terrorists die in a bizarre manner, like a grease fire, and Haim gets the girl. Which may be difficult because there is not even a girl in the movie.

I really cant describe just how bad it is, and to make it worse, I was looking for a bad review, and all I could find are glowing rants about how great it was. You NEED to rent this. No, Steal it. If you rent it the director may find out and make another movie.
