WMAC Masters (1995)
Give me a martial arts show, with a side of Mortal Kombat, WWE, and a side of crappy comic book...oh, and make it with EXTRA CHEESE!!!
I'll admit the stunts/action were remarkably fun to watch....that's just about the only reason I DID watch...Plus, given where it was filmed (Universal Orlando) the locations were kind of cool, but the rest of the show....blehhh.... The characters had as many dimensions as a cardboard cutout...hell, you could've REPLACED the actors with cardboard cutouts of themselves during the dialogue scenes and none would be the wiser!! Their identities were not believable and were lame, almost as if someone culled them from out of a comic book artist's wastebasket.... As was the entire storyline for the show! They tried (in vain) to spice it up by making the WMAC council corrupt, but by that time, not enough people cared enough to stick around and it was ax-time for WMAC masters. The "tournaments" were as nail-bitingly suspenseful as watching an opera...There was a bit of gall on their part to believe viewers would be gullible enough to not know better...
I also didn't appreciate how they vilified ninjas and made them into these low-ranking, fighting-fodder goons.
And whoever said Shannon Lee was hot should see her now! Moo!!!
Beerfest (2006)
Watching this movie is parallel to getting hammered!!
IMO, watching this movie is just like getting drunk: I had a crazy good time, laughed my butt off, took in all the mindless fun..... But then when it's all over, I walked out into the sobering sunlight in a brain-fog, not remembering much more than half of what happened in there.
(Although I sure do remember that smokin' hot German hunk Gunter Schlierkamp! DAMN!! That alone earns 2 stars! Wish he would've been given more lines than "YA!" and "DAS BOOOOOOOOT!!!" ) Seriously though, it's good time fun. Just the right amount of dirt in their jokes and gags....they don't bash you over the head with it repeatedly in the hopes that you'll get it like the Wayans Bros. often do in their comedies (and plenty of boobage for the guys....as if this film couldn't BE more guy oriented.).....Although there is one exception: the gag involving "the happy ending" frog....eccchhhh.....that one ran about two minutes too long, no?
Otherwise, good show, Broken Lizard!! You are now back in my favor. I officially forgive you for making "Club Dread".
