No Contest II

You get for what you pay, and l paid £1 for this in London, it`s not the best film l`ve ever seen but it certainly isn't the worse...

It's nice to see Bruce Payne as a `goodie` for once, Lance Hendrikson did a competent job and Sharron Tweed was ok, the story line..well we have seen it all before but what do you want..it`s a cheap film..and it passed time on while l was doing something else, thats how l like to see films...

It was ok, the story was l thought strong one...well written...pity all the acting did not match it..

But as l say you get what you pay for...

6/10

This sequel to the 1994 actioner "No Contest" (which I enjoyed much more than I expected to) is a much inferior film. The fight scenes are not badly choreographed, but all the rest is just SO stereotypical and familiar. Shannon Tweed still is up to the game, but Lance Henriksen does his usual "psychotic villain" number, and we're not impressed anymore. (*1/2)

Shannon Tweed is back fighting terrorists, but this time Lance Henrikson fills in for both Rowdy Roddy Piper and Andrew Dice Clay. I prefer the first one, even though I like Henrikson as an actor. This one is tedious to sit through and not nearly as fun as the film that preceded it. The fights are put together in such a haphazard way that those are boring as well. Giving a casual glance to both the writers on this film, I shouldn't be surprised at how bad it was, as neither writer has done ANYthing even remotely good. Skip the snooze-fest. Rent the original instead, or better yet just watch the vastly superior Die Hard for the upturn time.

My Grade:D-

In FACE THE EVIL (aka: NO CONTEST II), Shannon Tweed returns as Sharon Bell. This time, she's visiting her sister's art gallery. All is lovely until a group of homicidal criminals arrive to poop on everyone's party. Sharon must battle these terrorists along with their loathsome leader, Dane (Lance Henriksen).

Ms. Tweed must shift from uber-hot socialite, into uber-hot commando mode, while Mr. Henriksen grimaces and acts in eeevil ways. They're both great, raising the material above the typical DIE HARD clones.

Fear not! There's plenty of gunfire, explosions, and karate throughout, and the gushy finale is classic stuff indeed...

This got to be on of the worst movies ever. The plot was terrible, the action scenes boring and the whole thing totally crap. Good action films makes you forget that some things are unrealistic, like having 100 bullets in a gun. This movie is not like that at all. Here it just seems silly. And the ending is crap as well.

The only good thing is Lance Hendriksen who can actually act, otherwise do not waste your time on this movie.
