McCinsey's Island (1998)
Wow!!!
This is, without doubt, the finest example of exemplary film-making. Hulk Hogan is to film what The Jonas Brothers are to music: each makes an incredible contribution, but neither gets the recognition they deserve. Despite all that has been said about this film, I believe that Hulk Hogan can and in fact does act his way out of a paper bag. The plot is flawless: fast-paced and full of suspense, while the boat chases are some of the most exhilarating I have ever seen.
Absolutely no short-cuts are taken in the making of this movie, as highlighted by the talented Hulk Hogan and terrifyingly authentic evil-doer Grace Jones. If I were to have to make one criticism of the film, it would be the lack of talking parrots; I would have expected far more from such an otherwise flawless film. For me, highlights include the amazing stunts, the amusing dance work-out instigated by Grace Jones half way through, and the Hulk's ability to express even more emotion than his own moustache for once (although I feel that this may have been achieved through subtle, but necessary, editing).
Definitely the highlight of the BBC's line up of midday films on this particular Friday; this includes the Godfather on BBC 1 at the same time.
A definite must-see!!!!! Especially for anyone with an IQ as a great as their shoe-size.
