2.0 out of 5 stars Better than her other movie!, January 14, 2004

By	B-MAN "B" (Earth, occasionally. Until I get bored.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Skyscraper [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Run....Don't Walk to your Local Video Store, January 1, 2006

By	karma "movie critic" (the world) - See all my reviews

While most movies try to tackle only one genre, Skyscraper eschews this traditional approach and has the courage to be a thriller, a comedy, a drama and soft-core porn. The "ample talents" of "super-celebrity Anna Nicole Smith" are brought out by not one but two directors, because one director was not enough to exploit her many layers.

Although Skyscraper inexplicably does not make the AFI Top 100 list, one can only assume this is due to its ineligibility as a direct-to-video release. Some (or at least I) have found myself repeating dialogue from this movie on many occasions. The film's message is captured in one of the most poignant lines in film ever written: "Well excuse me for believing in Sunday walks in the park and little babies." Ms. Smiths' delivery of the line will be sure to make you hit rewind several times.

Many have pointed out all of the cinematic flaws - the obvious low-budget features, such as the use of gutted junkyard cars for the many exploding automobile scenes - but I think these people are missing the bigger messages of the movie.



Unlike most Hollywood-type movies where the starlet has an unattainable beauty that often leaves women viewers feeling inadequate, Skyscraper allows you to leave the theater and feel that you, too, could eat a box of doughnuts every day for a year and still be more beautiful than Ms. Smith. She's a positive role model for women everywhere.



But the true star of this cult favorite is the makeup artist, showing us that women can be anything they strive for - porn star, helicopter pilot or fighter of terrorism - while still having matching Botox-ed lips and 5-inch Lee Press-On nails.

I am glad that three of the stars of this movie chose to produce it, so that the profits from its sale would not fall into the hands of the same Hollywood moguls who have given us countless cookie-cutter thrillers in the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fat, Fabulous, and Full of Prescription Drugs!, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Skyscraper [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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!
