Lethal Target (1999) User Reviews

yea it's horribly, but to the people who claim to be "suckered in" and expecting "something Else", do your homework

[movieman_kev · 2/10 · 15 November 2005]

This SOFT soft-core/sci-fi B-movie is what you'd have if you took an early Fred Olen Ray film and took out the fun. Or conversely, it's like an Uwe Boll 'movie' but without as much ineptitude. A young nubile chain-gang convict (C.C. Costigan) agrees to pose as a space marshal in order to stop wacky Kim Dawson's plans of...having everyone have sex with everyone else apparently (that vile fiend). Anyone who went into this film looking for serious science fiction, well you got what you deserved for not doing any homework on the film at all. First of all when did Kim Dawson EVER star in anything other than soft-core Skinamax level crap. For that matter take a look at the resume's for Costigan and the Director before you take a hissy fit saying you expected something else. Don't get me wrong, for a space/action/soft-core/titillation flick, this film is STILL not good, but if you expected something along the lines of "Contact", I DO NOT pity you.

Just don't do it

Terrible movie. Just terrible. The start of this movie is like something out of a bad women in prison movie. Then it moves on to being a B-movie version of Aliens. B-movie in this case meaning the addition of gratuitous sex-scenes and women in lingerie. Oh and a lot of the footage is the exact same as used in two other movies by the same company (including the women in prison schtick). The only thing saving this movie from a 1/10 is that I have actually seen worse movies. Not many, and not much, but worse.

Hilarious.

Its a space flick, or at least i think it is. you got half-naked female prisoners in a space prison and a monster on a space station using a virus to infect humanity through sexy encounters. Its Friggin Hilarious. The acting is so bad that space nuts looks like an Emmy award winning film. The story is simple. Space prisoner gets chance to reduce sentence by investigating a space station that lost contact with humanity. She finds a doctor "experimenting" with women and a angry of alien. She fights them, so on and so forth. Its a movie worth seeing it just to wet your pants with laughter. If you like Real sci-fi flicks its a no-no but its a great mood setter for the amateur film maker because i can guarantee their film is better than this.

Wow! What a bad movie.

I like science-fiction movies and even, low-rated, made for TV, bargain bin, movies I may still find interesting. Well, I found this one in a bargain bin and brought it as a selection to a movie night with a group of friends.

I was, literally, *emabrrassed* that I brought this movie.

Right from the beginning, the acting is bad, the story is bland and the plot is almost non-existent. All this leads right to what the movie really was: A soft core porno graphical movie.

The movie started with a woman prison where the prisoners are all sexy women working in some sort of mine. First clue that this movie is NOT serious: attractive women in a prison being forced to do physical labor. Yeah, right! Whatever. :P Once the "plot" continued, it was overshadowed by pointless scenes of people having sex. Halfway through the movie, my friends and I stopped watching, it was so stupid. The next day, I thought that I would give the movie another chance and watch the rest. I watched about another 15 minutes and gave up again.

If you are looking for a decent, science-fiction or even a sci-fi monster movie DO NOT watch Lethal Target! If you want to see a low-budget, soft core porn that is light on plot, then see Lethal Target.

This is the worst movie ever,...but I want to see it again.

I come from Bangladesh, and here, C.C.Costigan is a goddess of awesome sex. All kidding aside, a friend and I were awake in the middle of the night, watching movies on the Encore: Action channel, when we came across a series of sci-fi-esquire flicks. There was RoboCop 2 (not bad,...not bad at all) ... then Judge Dredd, (Stalone almost ruins his career) then a movie called Lethal Target. One would think the title "Lethal Target" could only be awarded to a really cool, and really cheesy Rambo knock-off. But nay, what is delivered is what I would like to call a "Semi-softcore, semi-pseudo action, semi-sci-fi film" ... actually, I think I can say that this isn't even a film at all. If it wasn't for the main character's sheer hotness, my friend and I would've turned off the movie as the opening credits rolled.

I have a few questions to the people (I wouldn't even dare say "professionals") who made this film. -One, In the future, why are they using the weaponry we used in 1999? Oh, wait, I get it, it's all that they could get their hands on,... right???... well then,.. why is the main character wearing what looks like a normal everyday linen shirt and a vest, kinda like what people wore in the late nineties? .... oh ... I get it ... in space, it MUST have been a fashion statement.... well, then... WHY,OH, WHY does the main character pull out a 3.5 floppy disk at one point in the film so that she can upload some bullshit ?! wtf !? ...we've progressed so far that we have space travel, but we still haven't progressed past 1.44megabytes of space..?

I guess I'm just asking for too much.

Question two, Let's just say...that yes... this is a softcore porn. Then why is there only ONE real sex scene, and why does it last for 2 minutes?

I mean, you're taking the REASON people are staying up in the middle of the night to see this crap (dare I say 'movie' anymore?) ... and whittling it down to 2 minutes. Hell, they should've just taken that sex scene and sold it to another porn movie, and they would've STILL made more money off of this "crap" than they did.

C.C.Cortigan is hot. And no offense to the actress, but she acts about as well as I do. and I'm mentally retarded, and only have one testicle... (C.C. Cortigan,...e-mail me ...we'll have lunch) I would write more, but I've run out of space.

Fairly good movie

[lordzedd-2 · 6 October 2002]

It starts out on an alien chain gang, stock footage from another T & A movie, the name escapes me at this time. But the monster is fairly descent. The plot has more holes in it then Swiss cheese. But it is entertaining for men. For obvious reasons. My rating.

OUT OF 10 STARS (10 BEING BEST):

5 Stars *****

Hilarious

[africe · 3/10 · 29 November 2020]

This was one of the funniest movies ever. The hot chicks helped in the hilarity

CC Costigan is more beautiful than Angelina Jolie

[gridoon2024 · 4/10 · 30 July 2009]

I challenge you to watch this film and deny the above statement. That is, IF you can stop looking at her practically flawless face. She also does a bit of fighting and a bit of shooting, but not nearly as much as I was hoping for. The film is extremely slow-moving and low-budgeted, though at least they tried to find an excuse for the spaceship being so underpopulated; nearly the entire crew is on "suspended animation", and the ship moves on auto pilot! And the heroine doesn't rescue any of them, or bring anything useful back "home"; it seems that tricking that evil lady into traveling through space was the only part of her mission that couldn't be more easily accomplished by the missiles that blow up the ship at the end. There are also some long but rather tame soft-core scenes, and a couple of "Alien"-rip-off monsters that kill about 2 people. *1/2 out of 4.

Very bad movie

[rflowers1-1 · 1/10 · 23 December 2008]

This was one of the worst movies that I have ever watched. The story was about a woman prisoner sent into space to try and save mankind but what it actually turned out to be was that the prisoner was actually put on board a space ship with a nymphomaniac lesbian commander. All the story was about was having sex over and over again. There was no need for all of this footage - only to create a soft porn film. Of course we had to see the heroin of the movie having sex for about 2 minutes. I don't know what all this had to do with the actual plot of the movie -except I assume to get men to watch it. I gave it 1 out of 10 only because there was no other rating lower. Don't waste your money or time- it has nothing to do with science fiction but rather a movie for young adolescent boys to watch to see t&a. The creature was shown only more than half way through the movie and looked like the alien in the movie with Signorney Weaver. Poor excuse for entertainment.

Where sci-fi meets softcore

[Leofwine_draca · 4/10 · 15 May 2020]

LETHAL TARGET is another Z-grade sci-fi outing from skin flick specialist Lloyd A. Simandl. This time around, C.C. Costigan is the attractive female space warrior who goes undercover on a space hulk to tackle both bad guys and extraterrestrials. This one's so cheap that it uses footage from the director's other movies from the same period, or perhaps they re-used footage from this film, who knows. The slim plot regularly stalls in favour of shoehorned-in sexual scenarios, supposedly part of some scientific research project - yeah, right. Expect copious nudity and lots of cheese, and one blatant sub-plot in which our heroine goes all Ripley-esque to tackle an ALIEN rip-off.

Alien Invasion By Lust

[bobholm517 · 7/10 · 19 March 2006]

A delightful romp in the hay on behalf of alien invaders: In 2069, events on the space station have gone awry. Lusty security officer Nikki Savage bares a sexual alien plot to conquer the human race with a deadly virus spread through bodily fluids, but since many characters are lesbian, they do it passionately with spittle and a scratch. Dr. Dane loves to watch hetero sex, too (it's a sex comedy as well as sci-fi horror). Anyway, it's up to luscious Nikki (with a lust-less chip in her head giving her advice and info from big daddy Max and the sexless company computer) to stop the alien invasion and quench ubiquitous lust before sweet company missives arrive to say, "Goodbye, Boom-Boom!"

Aliens and lesbians - n'er the two shall meet

[susidee34 · 20 June 2001]

An unfortunate mixture of the Alien creature, that you never really get a decent look at, mixed with a nerd that turns into Rambo and a Lucy Liu wannabe, all go against an evil lesbian doctor on an abandonded spaceship.

The movie drags, the production is poor, the visuals are lame, sound quality blows and cinematography is horrid.

Was this supposed to be a spoof and I missed the tag line?
