5.0 out of 5 stars Great script, snappy dialogue, quirky campy fun, November 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tail Sting [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Tail Sting is unabashedly a grade B monster movie, but writer Tim Griffin does such a fantastic job with the dialogue that it comes across as the campy spoof it is supposed to be. Some of the lines are due to become classics. There are a few bum scenes, like the strange sex scene under the floor of the plane, but all in all it's definitely worth renting. The hackers at the end -- Griffin also plays one of these -- are great. And the two Middle Eastern characters -- actually created before 9/11 -- even make you think about profiling in a whole new way. Move over Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tail Sting is a "learn the lines and play the parts" kind of campy fun.

This review is from: Tail Sting (DVD)

TAIL STING is without a doubt the worst movie I've ever viewed. Even though it had me laughing several times, it is still an abominable excuse for film-making. The actors (?) are all bad---Christian Scott as the James Brolin clone and Laura Putney as the heroes are hilariously awful. Putney pops her eyes a lot, and tilts her head in a supposedly sexy manner; her outfit when she becomes the Sigourney Weaver of awful movies, has got to be seen to be believed. The plane must be huge to allow such a large queen scorpion ramble around. The fight scenes look kindergartenish (although a good fight by a couple of 3 year olds could outclass these!). The special effects are laughably horrid; the computer geeks are unbelievably bad...the director loves zeroing in on their flying fingers, although you can tell they're not really typing anything; the camera never even pans to show you what they're finding. The plane lands in LAX, and there's not another plane or soul around...anyone who's been to LAX knows this could never happen.
I'm a creature feature fan, but this one isn't even worth viewing for a laugh. Awful, awful waste of celluloid and time. No redeeming qualities at all!!!!
And what's worse is it looks like many of the actors voices were dubbed!!!!!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
