In Anna's final movie (why?), she plays Carrie the helicopter pilot with fake fingernails. "Skyscraper" (1997) is directed by the same genius who brought us Anna's other blockbuster -1995's "To The Limit". Both movies are similar(wow, really?) in that Anna uses a gun, she gets naked a few times, and attempts to act too much. Oh yeah, there's also a really evil guy and a lot of explosions. If I must choose between the two for entertainment value, I'm going with Skyscraper. Not only does Anna have more nude scenes in this one, her acting (and everyone elses) is even more hilarious (if you actually watch it with sound!). Also there aren't as many long stretches of "acting" and "explosions". Bottom line, a laughably bad acted movie with breasts, guns, and things exploding. Enjoy!

This movie will go down in history as one of the best "worst" movies ever mad. Anna Nicole looks like she never quit eating fried chicken during the entire shoot. The dialogue and plot are hilarious, and the acting so over-the-top that it makes you want to watch it over and over again. Pay special attention to Anna Nicole's earpiece that was used to feed the actress lines, as set rumors have it that she was in such a drug haze during production she couldn't remember her lines and sometimes had to be propped up! I LOVE IT!

Skyscraper is a typical Hollywood Movie, with lots of action and little to think about. Anna Nicole Smith did well. She's not an actress, she is just a very beautiful woman spreading into new fields. If you are looking forward to seeing Anna making some good nude scenes and her amazing body, you will find it. If you ae looking for an Oscar winning movie, you may start looking around for a better one.

As bad as this is, and as horrible as Anna is in this junk the man who co produced and stared as the bad guy is even worse. He stumbles on Shakespeare's prose and delivers the lines like he has rocks in his mouth and is in awe of the fact he can say them at all! Frankly, so am I. That said, this is a very funny movie about a bimbo pilot, bad guys in leather pants and some "do hickey" that will "change the balance of power" .... un ...yeah..... ok. The soft core nude sex scenes are more funny than hot and are the only time Anna is able to act. At least when Andy Sadris ("Guns , "Hard Ticket To Hawaii, "Savage Beach") made his movies like this fun and funny)on purpose, and the had many playmates not just one. All in all this is one to catch on h.b.o. after midnight.

This movie is amazing if you are any kind of fan of ANS.
This is perhaps the best performance of her entire acting career.
The zooming in closeups of her aiming that mini canon are worth
the entire price of admission alone -- and the cleavage is a bonus.

Why this film failed to be nominated for and win an academy award is beyond me; surely the academy is biased when it chose Shakespeare in Love over this to-be classic.

If anything, Ms. Smith's breasts add to the quality of her fine acting and are not a detriment as other reviewers have suggested.

This movie suprised me. It was actually a lot better than i thought it would be. The action and plot in this movie was similar to the Andy Sidaris produced and written action flicks that starred several Playboy playmates. You learned to really despise the villans in this flick. The nude scenes with Anna were great too. What a body she had! However, it made me reflect rather sadly seeing Anna and her son Daniel together in scenes especially since they're both gone and died so young. If i didn't like one thing, at times they went a tad bit too far making the heels look almost like super men or indistructable. However, the way the heels "bought the farm" in the end seemed very justifiable, in most cases. I had originally bought this dvd because i wanted a rememberence of Anna. I am glad i did, for that reason and it was also more entertaining than i expected.

I have yet to figure out the plot. Anna Nicole Smith did fine as long as she didn't talk. The terrorists were scary. That may have saved the movie. Good action scenes with entertaining gunfight scenes. I never did figure out what the terrorists were trying to obtain. Was it nuclear in nature? The terrorists never did issue demands. Perhaps they told Anna Nicole Smith and she forgot. Her nude scenes were entertaining because she had no lines. Perhaps she shpuld stick to nudie videos.

It has a terrible story line, but it has Anna Nicole Smith naked in two scenes. It rounds out nicely

I am in agreement with several of the other reviewers of this film. It was mostly awful. It didn't even have the saving grace of unintentional humor as in "To The Limit." A big disappointment was this mindblowingly erotic "shower scene" I've heard so much about... was that it? I've seen scenes between Miss Piggy and Kermit that were more exciting than that!

In an offside, I find it interesting that they've allowed Smith to keep her thick southren (Texan?) accent. Usually Hollywood drills accents out of leading actors/actresses and make them speak "normal" English, leaving accents for various supporting roles. I wonder if this has had an effect on people's opinion of her acting. It may be that people are struggling with that very regional accent of hers.
