charday-32184 THIS movie was a childhood fantasy of mine. Heading into a theater and being transported to another world... great movie...now scavanger you are prolly asking yourself about the treasure and where this goose is chasing....trust me...its slightly uneventful and lame...but havent we come so......no no ... youre right. We will go further....on amazon there is a book called Watership Down....rabbits in a critical Lord of the Flies kinda way. But there will be a review...at this point im not sure who else is on the trail. Be vigilant. I believe in you.
stormhawk2018 I really don't understand why this movie gets so much flack, it's really a great idea and fun critique of Hollywood movies. Maybe it was too ahead of its time and maybe it still is, but I enjoyed it a lot. Arnold Schwarzenegger was extremely brave and humble to joke about himself and the movies he tends to be in, just a testament to someone who appreciates all they have. All the cameos and film references are some great touches and I love the cheesy over the top sequences and dialogue. I think the overall message is good; while Hollywood isn't an accurate representation of the world, it's still an important part of our culture and a way for us to see life as we wish it was.
randancing If Arnold wants to come back after his near death in politics, he should do 'Jack Slater' with a young adult granddaughter and great grandson to rescue. It is the perfect movie for him and it would be so much fun I could watch for a decade. The character would spark a fire in fans and the storyline would follow his age without having to apologise. It would be a winner that would last him for a decade and then methinks he may want to retire.
bkoganbing The future Guvernator of California stars in this film that literally shatters dimensions. It's all about a ticket more valuable than the one that got you into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. This one allows young Austin O'Brien to get into one of the films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jack Slater hero cop with one of those special weapons that never seem to need reloading.Young O'Brien's world is taken up with the movies, his is one humdrum and typically anxiety filled life of an adolescent and his preoccupation with the cinema is driving mother Mercedes Ruehl a little batty. But one day the cinema projectionist Robert Prosky gives him a special golden admission ticket that allows O'Brien to enter the Schwarzenegger film and become an additional character. Since he seems to know what's going on ahead of everybody that becomes a problem for O'Brien. But not half the problem the real world gets when one of the screen villains develops a consciiousness about who he is and invades the real world. In fact Tom Noonan realizes the perfect way to solve all his problems in the film.Such folks as F. Murray Abraham, Anthony Quinn, and Art Carney get to do some nice characterizations in the film. This was Carney's farewell performance. Schwarzenegger and O'Brien have a nice chemistry going themselves. And Arnie gets a chance to spoof a bit of himself. Last Action Hero holds up well as entertainment. It does date however since now the big screen uses those DVDs. Those cans of film you see in the projectionist unintentionally truly date the work.
