callanvass (Credit IMDb) A lighthearted tale about a gang of bank robbers who fall out and split up. The brains of the gang is a boy who, with his father, successfully continue their crime spree. Annoyed at this, Lilly and her loyal and stupid companion, decide to kidnap the boy, Nelson, and force him to work for them.I was very open-minded when it came to this movie. I went in with very little expectations. It worked for me because I actually found this to be watchable stuff. Hell, it was even fairly enjoyable at times for what it was. This movie may not have much to work with. But it's playful and energetic enough to keep you going. It has heart, and they make good use of the low-budget with some fun action scenes. There is one scene near the end that is actually really suspenseful. Believe it or not, there are even some laughs thrown in here and there as well. Granted, some of the dialog is a bit iffy, and it's painfully obvious that it has many shortcomings. It really does rely on the charisma of the cast. Corey Haim is a very charismatic performer. It's such a shame he had to succumb to drugs. He wasn't just a famous teen actor, he really did have a lot of talent. He was a lot of fun here. Leo Rossi is fun as the Dad. I enjoyed his chemistry with Haim. Cynthia Rothrock isn't exactly a great actress, but she kicks butt and looks good doing it. Her martial arts background comes into play here. Marcia Strassman is cute and enjoyable to watch. I was quite surprised by how watchable this was. I'm not afraid to admit that I enjoyed it for what it was, even with all the flaws it has. If you want something light-hearted, this is a good choice. The sequel isn't all that bad either.5.5/10
leonardconstantin61 This is a very entertaining movie with the likes Corey Haim&Cynthia Rothrock. Unfortunately i couldn't give this movie more than 7/10 because i didn't like 2 things about this film: Corey Haim dressed as womany(you could see that he was very embarrassed for acting like that)and Cynthia Rothrock's skills are wasted here a lil' bit. If she had more than screen time & more fights i think that this movie would have been a classic because Cynthia was in top form. But all in all was a good movie and Cynthia Rothrock didn't disappoint. Fast Getaway 2 isn't a good follow up unfortunately. This movie and Guardian Angel are my favorite movies with Cynthia Rothrock.
gwnightscream Corey Haim, Leo Rossi, Cynthia Rothrock, Ken Lerner and Marcia Strassman star in this 1991 action-comedy. The late, Haim (The Lost Boys) plays teenager, Nelson who has spent most of his life with his father, Sam (Rossi) robbing banks. Soon, they have a falling out with former partners, Lily (Rothrock) and Tony (Lerner). Nelson and Sam attempt to rob another bank without them, but get caught by police thanks to Lily. Nelson meets Lorraine (Strassman) who claims to be an old friend of Sam's, but after Nelson breaks Sam out of Jail, he learns she's his mother he never knew. Soon, Lily and Tony decide to get payback by kidnapping Nelson and Sam attempts to rescue him with Lorraines's help. I remember when this used to be on TV a lot years ago, it's not bad and Haim and Rossi were great together. I recommend this.
Alex-243 It's a shame this movie came out in 1991. I think it probably could've done much MUCH better, if it were an 80's flick. The movie had that classic 80's soundtrack, and fashion nailed. And I'm an 80's kid... So I guess I just kind of clicked with this movie. I has seen segments from it once before many years ago on television, and I decided one day to pick it up for kicks at the video store. and I liked it. Corey Haim did a good job playing an overly energetic criminal mastermind. I don't know exactly why I liked this movie. But it's fun, although it did leave a lot of questions left unanswered (which is why a sequel was necessary, but some of those questions still weren't answered)... What happened to Honey? The girl who laid him? Did he not EVER think of her again? Did Nelson's parents get back together? What about Sam being broken out of prison? Did the police just NOT care, and never looked for him again? Anyways... I'm going to stop critiquing a movie that I like. And just tell you, if you haven't seen this movie... Rent it, or see if you catch it on USA or something...
