Bigtoe-4 This movie is great, but there's one thing that the end credits say that is not entirely true. The end credit say that the movie was shot entirely on location in Los Angeles, California. Not true. There is original footage from the 1970's from an apartment building in flames in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I recognize the blue and white police car on the left of the screen and also the housing style as I have been to Montreal many many times living 1 1/5 hours drive from that city. Also the firefighting gear is mostly Canadian in the film, especially in the original footage. Now my big question is, being an avid collector of vintage Canadian firefighting gear, how did the producers get a hold of all of the vintage gear like; Chieftain long coats, Chieftain firefighter rubber hip boots, etc... That is something very, very special that is very, very rare. Two thumbs way up for this.Big Toe 4

ralpgalland Not too bad for a lesser Hollywood movie with no big screen names(Ice-T don't count). It's got the usual amount of bloopers that you can expect from a such a movie. It also got the usual amounts of flaws in how things are done, like a fire rescue team running into a burning and smoking building without the proper equipment, kinda like "firemen Rambos".The storyline could have been better, but I've seen worse in some of the major hit movies the last 10 years. However, the movie does have a "tv movie" feel to it, with some of the acting and how it's shot.As for the cast, some of them I would have expected more from, while others that are more unknown does a rather good job.But overall, if you manage to ignore the bloopers and errors, it's an enjoyable film to watch when you're out of the "major name" movies. Just grab the popcorn and enjoy.

timothytippins This movie is a page out of movie history, it first came out as 'Striking distance' the cop car chase scene in the beginning is exactly the same as the chase scene in 'Striking distance' complete with the cars rolling down the embankment at the end of the chase (I thought the bad guy was going to get out and shoot Ice T). Oh by the way, what happens to Ice T later on in the movie? . Then as the movie progresses, it turns into 'City on fire' a disastrous disaster movie from 1979 complete with scenes right out of 'City of fire'. I mean the actual scenes in 'City on fire' were cut and pasted into 'Ablaze'. Like the scene where the nurse opens the closet door and gets smoked. I wonder how they got away with that? I was waiting for Shelly Winters to make a cameo. (They could of cut and pasted her to!). What a Bomb!

engine1321-1 May spoil the movie.What, are you crazy? This movie has to be the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. They piece parts together from other shows, mainly Emergency! and video clips from foreign films about fires. I noted a change in fire engines seven times in a 10 minute segment!The first part doesn't even relate to the last part. Where did Ice-T go after the dude set himself on fire in the first scene? Then he just randomly appears at the end? This movie is destined for the fiery pit from which it came.Too many questions, too little time.
