The Wrecking Crew

I purchased this film at a sale in a music shop, And i'm glad it was a sale and not full price,

Plot: hmmmmmmmmmmm what there was a plot? Picture Quality : Home movie wedding style Acting: OH MY GOD, these guys must have been fresh from acting school cause they were crap, Ice T was great in New Jack City but in this he was plain bad, Snoop was in the movie at the start for like 3 mins then never seen again ( Maybe i got the ultra edited version.

The only good thing about this purchase was the soundtrack cause that was dope! So to conclude,

I give the film a big thumbs down and the soundtrack a big thumbs up.

This film is definitely the worst i have ever seen in my whole life. I rented it once because i am a big Snoop Dogg fan and saw him on the cover, so i thought i would enjoy this movie. I watched it and couldn't bear it anymore after 5 minutes. The quality is atrocious, the acting is terrible, and the dialog is just stupid and repetitive.

This film has the quality of a cheap video camera. My most hated part in the whole film is at the beginning when the gang leaders are giving "influencial" speeches to their gangs. The way they talk and constant use of hand gang signs is very annoying. The only thing in the whole film which I enjoyed was the song played through the opening credits.

I would have never thought that stars as famous and respected as Snoop Dogg and Ice-T would ever even allow such a horrible piece of work containing them to be shown to the public. I truly wish i could award this film a zero.

You have never seen a movie this bad. I know that you think you have, but trust me, you haven't.

You may think you can deal with it. You may ponder, "Yeah, it's bad, but it's probably so bad it's funny." NO! This is not the kind of bad movie that's bad, but you may enjoy anyway because it's so bad. This movie is just plain horrible.

There are no drugs you can take, no glues you can sniff, no quantity of alcohol that you can consume to make this movie enjoyable. It's freakin atrocious!

Save your money, save your time, save your brain cells, watch something else. Anything else...

I've seen a lot of crappy flics in my days, and this p.o.s. is on my top 3 list of the worst movies ever, if not THE worst movie ever. God it suck.

When watching movies like The Wrecking Crew, one wonder why there aren't any laws or state regulated quality control around that prevents citizens from horrible movies like this one. I don't think I can ever watch this movie again, not even if I'm very drunk with very drunk friends who want to see a stupid movie for a laugh.

You have been warned. This masterpiece of crappyness is not what you want to watch.

Trust me.

This is part of a trilogy (of sorts) the other 2 films are THE CORRUPT and URBAN MENACE.

Originally meant as one movie with different story lines coming together the movie-company decided that they'd rather turn them into 3 movies and make 3 times the profit from the DVD/VHS-sales but with the same budget.

All 3 movies were shot simultaniously in the course of 18 days (6 days per movie) with the same settings (with the exceptions of a couple scenes here and there) with the same crew, cast (except the rappers) etc even the same Ice-T soundtrack (his album 7th Deadly Sin) continuniously playing throughout.

And they often had to have the few Americans playing multiple characters within the same movie, because the extras that were hired couldn't speak a word of English (the movie is film in Brataslava).

One thing that happened is that AIR France lost a box of footage that they filmed which included footage from all 3 movies, because they would film scenes from different movies back to back to save time etc.

So that obviously messed up the movies a little bit, luckily they had b- footage for most lost scenes they could use instead but I wonder what actually happened to that footage and if the movies would have turned out better with it (I imagine so).

Another thing you will notice when you watch this is the lack of Snoop Dogg.

On the director's commentary Albert Pyun openly admits that the only reason they decided to put Snoop into the movie was so that they could put him on the cover and have his fans pay for a Snoop Dogg-movie even tho he never had any part in the making of this movie.

Confused?

Well Snoop Dogg was in URBAN MENACE of the trilogy, so they take a scene from that movie + interview footage with Snoop and via text they convey the idea that Snoop plays a gangster called Dra-Man and they edit it together to make it look like he was killed in the beginning of the movie.

So Snoop doesn't actually act in this movie, he didn't even know he was gonna be in it til I guess the movie company told him they wanted to attach his name to the movie and gave him a nickle for it.

Now to the actual movie:

I can't say it's a good movie, I actually somewhat enjoy URBAN MENACE and THE CORRUPT even tho they are very uneven.

This one is far more even, but also more monotonous but it flows a lot better than the other 2, so I can understand why this one has the highest rating of the 2 if not just for that.

The story is nothing to write home about, it's 3 gangs in a abandoned factory killing off each other, sort of a poor man's MEAN GUNS also a Ice-T and Albert Pyun vehicle.

But there's still something about it I can enjoy a little, maybe it's the knowing the background and having heard the commentary tracks for all 3 movies that can make me appreciate them a little more.

Cause honestly I didn't like Wrecking Crew the first time I saw it much but now okay I can't say I like it per se but I can somewhat appreciate it for what it is.
