No Retreat, No Surrender 3: Blood Brothers (1990)
Just For Laughs
I've seen this movie before, but most recently over-dubbed in Spanish (I do not speak the language). It is honestly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen when you don't understand a word. Then again, this was on at about 2am, so I may have been deliriously tired, but inspired enough to write this review at 4am. The acting is beyond horrible - but the scenes with the white haired terrorist were so over the top that I laughed until I cried. Besides being the silliest looking bad guy, he appears to be playing right to the camera. This is worth it just for the laughs, though there are brief segments of reasonably talented martial arts moves - only to be ruined by any attempt at acting.
The Mummy Returns (2001)
I was hoping for better.
My mummy taught me that if there is nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Then again, I never did listen much. The first movie was, in my opinion, terrific and lots of fun to watch. Several scenes in the sequel are very similar to the first, except the special effects have gotten worse (at some points, especially the end, I felt like I was watching someone play a Playstation game... great graphics for a game, horrible for a movie in the year 2001). There were a few laughs provided by the youngest star, but other than that, it ran a bit flat.
A definite wait-till-it's-on-video type of movie.
