chrichtonsworld Apparently it is very hard to get a copy of this film and even Bruce Campbell makes fun of his role in My Name is Bruce. Luckily for me someone posted it on a video site in very good quality so I could enjoy it. And let me tell you. It is one of the better Die Hard clones. Is it a good movie? Not a chance. This one is as cheesy as they come although in a good way. The biggest reason to watch this clone is Bruce Campbell. He is hamming it up big time and is simply a joy to watch. The main character Chase Morran played by Joshep Culp (son of Robert Culp) is actually very believable as unwanted hero. You will have to ignore his one liners because they are far from funny. Although the fact that they aren't makes it funny. So what about the action? For some reason the director Gilbert Po (who never directed a movie after this one ever again) thought it was wise to shoot the action scenes in slow motion. And in general that does make it visually more appealing. However in this case the slow motion is done poorly and has a very laughable effect. But it's not over used so that most action scenes are decent. In general I think his direction was quite decent. It certainly is much better than say that of Brett Ratner or Uwe Boll. I wonder what happened to him? Assault on Dome 4 is incredibly fast paced, witty and blatant copy of Die Hard. In fact one could almost see it as a parody on it since the motive for Alex Windham (Bruce Campbell) is so ridiculous and far fetched that it must have been meant as some sort of satire. Overall this TV Movie is entertaining from start till finish and it definitely belongs to the better Die Hard rip offs. Then how come it is so difficult to get a hold of this movie? If you can get hold of a copy or can watch it on television or online then do so. It's a lot of fun.
rmbeast78 The mythical Assault on Dome 4 is a hard to find film that is widely sought after by Bruce Campbell fans. It's often the butt of jokes by Bruce Campbell in interviews. It was even mentioned in the comedy biopic My Name is Bruce.Assault on Dome 4 is an action packed over the top B-movie that shows the resurgence of B-films in the 1990's, starring B-movie legend Bruce Campbell as villain Alex Windham. Assault on Dome 4 is the story of evil genius played by Bruce Campbell who escapes from prison and plans on setting off a super-weapon too destroy his enemies. Unbeknownst, to him baddass lawman Chase Moran (Joseph Culp) is close by ready to kick some butt.
curiousnova Despite the best efforts and trademark hamminess of Bruce Campbell, this is a real clunker of a movie. Lowbrow humor and gratuitous violence (a guy gets his hand sliced off and it's used as a joke later in the film - REALLY funny there, guys) can't cover up the retread plot and thuddingly dull pace of this film. I'd choose anything - doing dishes, poking a paperclip into a light socket - rather than sit through this again.
Andrew Benjamin Assault on Dome 4 I thought was a good film despite its low budget. The film is about criminal named Alex Windham (Bruce Campbell) who escapes from jail and hires the other criminals to help take over Dome 4. Chase Moran (Joseph Culp) visits the dome to surprise his wife for their anniversery. Unfortunately, Alex and his goons are in his way and Chase must to defeat them to save Earth and his wife. This film I found quite good. I don't really like action movies but this one I did. The acting was average, except Bruce Campbell who was great. He is just great as Alex. This movie I would recommend to Bruce Campbell fans and to people who like action movies without budgets.10/10
