2.0 out of 5 stars Good Victoria Pratt effort, July 29, 2003

This review is from: Whatever It Takes (DVD)

The movie is not horrible, but you should choose almost ANYTHING else to watch if you have 2 hours to kill. Having said that, if you like Victoria Pratt as much as I do, it's worth buying for your Vicky collection. She's in about 7 scenes, always wearing skin-tight, hot outfits, especially the gym scenes. Get the DVD for easier access to her scenes and so that you won't have to watch the movie itself more than once. Her physique is buff, like it was in "John Woo's Once a Thief." A little fuller than her lean and cut Sarge character in "Cleopatra 2525." Victoria is a very big reason, other than Pam, to say "thank you, Canada!"

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as they say!, December 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Whatever It Takes (DVD)

As far as B-movies go, this one was pretty good. Dice's role wasn't really intended to be funny, but he does use some of his classic lines (including the greeting card bit from 40 Too Long). There are also a few hilarious arguments between Dice and another undercover cop (who has a pretty funny monologue about Sipowitz from NYPD Blue). Overall, you can't go wrong in a movie that has beautiful female bodybuilders, Andrew Dice Clay, and Fred Williamson. It was a better movie than Brain Smasher, and the action sequences hold up to any other martial arts B-movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars only thing that keeps it from a one star is DICE!, May 30, 2003

By 

sinisterfiend666 (the master of Horror) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whatever It Takes (DVD)

As mentioned by others, this is pretty bad. I think B action movies are worse that B-horror movies. It is also boring at time, no classic DICE lines in this either. The one African American head cop (or what ever he was) was one of the worse actors I ever seen: as soon as he said his lines he was so over acting i laughed my but off (only funny thing in the movie) Anyway, glad I did not rent this, or own it, i caught it on cable TV, i would never buy it. BTW - Dice needs to add hair color to his side burns, they look stupid!
