1.0 out of 5 stars
Leave on the "Shelf Fighter", February 28, 2001
As far as Ice T vehicles go this one is pretty good. Ice T gives a totally believable performance as a former rap artist desperately trying to parlay his past sucess in the music business into a career as a bad actor. His acting is probably improving though, but who can tell? Unfortunately Science cannot yet measure the miniscule improvement in his talent and Amazon does not provide me with the option of anything less than one star... All that aside, Ice T is not totally to blame for this movie's garbage-ness. The script is pretty weak and the supporting cast is not very supportive. Maybe I couldn't suspend my disbelief, but in certain scenes, like all the ones where people are being stealthy, they are not stealthy, they are clearly in plain view of the people they sneak up on. The Stealth Bomber featured in the film spends most of its time parked in a garage. And when it attacks targets it certainly doesn't "smart bomb" them...nor does it make any effort to go unseen. It actually attacks in broad daylight. I guess we are supposed to chalk that up to Ice T's lack of flight experience. Bottom line: if you name your movie "Stealth Fighter" then by definition it should have some stealth in it. Maybe its ironic. Maybe the quality of the movie is "stealthy" making it appear as if it is without quality. Bearing that in mind I give it no stars but it gets five stars--all in stealth mode.

Stealth Fighter, February 9, 2000
Oh my God, I can't believe they actually released this movie onto video! ...I had the dreadful misfortune of actually watching this film....thank GOD it was on HBO (I actually thought it was an HBO made-for-tv movie)...anyways, this movie was SOOO bad, I'm surprised that the Air Force even allowed their aircraft to be photographed for this movie..seriously..there's no plot and horrendous acting, but what can you expect from a movie with the title "Stealth Fighter"? Besides that, the movie is bad almost to the point of being funny....like the ending, I won't ruin it or anything (wouldn't that be bad! )......just don't bend over to pick up your beer (probably #12 by that point in the movie) because you might miss the whole ending...it's over that quick! One example of why this movie stinks so bad: Ice-T WALKS onto an Airforce base...decides to meander over to a hanger, knocks down a couple of <good> guys that look like offensive-tackle-types...then just jumps into a Stealth fighter (that happens to have the keys in it, and is fully gassed up)...and flies away non-chalantly....and he doesn't even rap! Anyways, might be good if you're inebriated and need a good laugh....otherwise, avoid this like a port-a-potty at a Buffet concert...like my roommate says of this movie in the same voice as that guy from the Simpsons, "Worst.....movie......ever! "

1.0 out of 5 stars
TYPICAL ACTION FILM; 1.5 STARS, September 13, 2004
AN AIR FORCE PILOT [ICE-T] FAKES HIS OWN DEATH ONLY TO RESURFACE AS THE PARTNER OF A DEADLY LATIN AMERICAN ARMS DEALER [ANDREW DIVOFF]. WHEN A STEALTH GETS STOLEN AND IT'S USED TO TARGET THE MILITARY, IT'S UP TO ONE MAN [COSTAS MANDYLOR] TO STOP HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. ONE THING THAT CAN'T BE DENIED IS THAT THIS MOVIE IS BORING. THE ACTION IS NOT WORTH WATCHING, THE SCRIPT IS DUMB, AND THE STORY JUST GETS TIRING AFTER A WHILE. ERNIE HUDSON'S ACTING TALENTS ARE ONCE AGAIN WASTED IN ANOTHER LOW-RENT DIRECT-TO-VIDEO FILM. IF YOU LIKE ICE-T AND WANNA SEE ONE OF HIS MORE RECENT FILMS, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND RENT OR BUY ''OUT KOLD''.
