4.0 out of 5 stars Forget the ammo, pass the laughs., May 10, 2002

An early Bill Paxton move that is on my list of movies I never saw enough of. Tim Curry's rendition of the televangelist who's name escapes me is classic (it is my favorite Curry role).

4.0 out of 5 stars Holy Hilarity!, March 4, 2000

This review is from: Pass the Ammo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw "Pass the Ammo" in the late 80's, and felt that they needed to establish up front that Claire's grandmother lost $$ at the Tower of Bethlehem. Then last week my ex brought me a copy of it and I watched it again. This time, I loved it three times as much! There are loads of "lessons" here, from the quote by Anthony Geary (Stonewall): "It doesn't matter where you're at on the outside. What counts is where you are on the inside." I think the movie is well done, and to see a British actor (Curry) doing an Arkansas accent was priceless. I don't like the line about what they're going to do to the preacher on national TV. Aside from this, this movie needs to have a wide distribution!

TWO QUESTIONS: Who "shot" Jesse and Claire, and Where can I buy the soundtrack?

This review is from: Pass the Ammo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is great fun with good performances from the four lead actors. Screenplay was superb - especially the line from the newsreader regarding the 'crack of dawn' - priceless!! Ignore the whining moralists and watch this movie. When is it to be released on DVD??? This movie really needs the widescreen DVD treatment.
