Adrenalin: Fear the Rush (1996)
Adrenalin is a great film due to the faults. Regard it as a comedy!
First time I saw Adrenalin I cried. Not because of sadness. Nor because of something in my eye. I cried because of laughing. This movie was so pathetic that it was actually funny!!!!
The plot is very simple: In the future a mutated man (a monster really) is ravaging a city. A special team is sent to destroy it... -and so they do after a lot of death, chaos, shooting, etc.
However, the plot is insignificant really, because the best thing about this film is all the faults. For example, in a scene the monster has crawled up a shaft and the special team are just about to follow it. Suddenly the monster shows up and shoots at Christopher Lambert with a gun. He's hit approximately 10 times and it seems as if they have used the very same cut to all the times he's shot. Another thing is that it's suspicious the way the special team is destroyed by the monster. I mean it is a special team of some sort, made to destroy monsters wearing fancy suits, etc. Anyway it takes the monster about 20 seconds to kill them all...
All in all, I'll actually recommend this film if you're ready to take as some kind of a comedy. However it's a failure as a serious action film! Better be prepared!!!
Beat Street (1984)
This classic movie presents the hip hop culture in the 80's, NY.
To many people, Beat Street has inspired their lifestyle to something creative concerning the hip hop culture.
The young Lee is living in NY in the 80's when hip hop was at its beginning. His a crew member of "Beat Street" -a b-boy crew. The movie follows Lee in his average day, dancing, graffitiing, etc.
The director has succeeded in making a movie with a plot and at the same time presenting hip hop to the rest of the world. The movie has old school features such as
Afrika Bambaataa & the Soul Sonic Force, Grandmaster Melle Mel & the Furious Five, the Rock Steady Crew, the New York City Breakers, and many more....
Neither the movie Beat Street nor the Beat Street spirit will ever die.
