To the best of my knowledge, this is the worst film EVER made. I am not exaggerating, it is not like Showgirls or Virus bad, it is a whole new low. It was only released 'cause Ice T and co. had the money from being successful rappers to finance it itself. I do media and film studies, and we had to make the introduction to a thriller. Compared to this film, every single groups work looked like Usual Suspects or Momento, and it was the first time most of us had used any camera or editing equipment, or had ever storyboarded, written a script, or had any involvement in a film. I'm saying this carefully 'cause I don't want you to think I'm exaggerating how bad it is. The storyline is pitiful and makes no sense at all. The special effects are laughable, and I don't mean that they're low budget but they did what they could with them, they were actually the worst I've ever seen (like pitifully super imposed shots of flames when a building is supposed to be on fire). Instead of choosing actors, they chose rappers to play the parts of characters (snoop dogg himself has since acted well in a few films, but Fat Joe and Big Pun show they're complete and absolute lack of talent, as do the rest of the cast). There is absolutely nothing good about this film. I still feel like I'm not quite stating enough how bad it is, 'cause I've seen so many terrible and laughable films, but this is on a whole new level to anything I have ever seen. I am a big hip hop fan, and therefore have a certain amount of respect for Ice T and a lot of respect for Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe and Big Pun (RIP), but this should never have been made, and if you manage to get hold of a copy i urge you to burn it and therefore erase it from history, so there is no chance of anyone in the future seeing it and knowing that such disgustingly embarrassing things existed in our time.

Beyond the Worst
cloudyimpulse9 April 2002
To call this a movie is giving it much more credit than it deserves. I was given this movie to watch by someone who had not seen it (lucky them). I tried for at least 20 seconds to watch it, then decided to fast forward it and stop when something looked interesting - I challenge anyone to do this - no matter where you stop it will be the worst thing you've ever seen. I am amazed it made it to video - I know it never was seen in a theater because the audience would have burned down the place in protest for their money back. Now all I can do is talk about the fact that I know what the worst movie ever made is. I don't think anyone can actually watch this movie from beginning to end unless they are paid a lot of money or, they are on heavy drugs and as a result can not move to turn off the TV or unable to use the remote control. Is there a minus rating!? Here is the best reason for having that possibility. Hate someone - give them this movie as a gift from an anonymous admirer.
oh man oh man oh man

My god what a waste of time. If my friends weren't trying to work through the bottom 100 movies there is no way I would have watched more than five minutes.
Beyond the bad special effects, the poor sound, the horrible script, the bad acting, and the lack of directing, this movie would still be the worst movie ever. At least in horror movies there is funny stuff happening (see "Food of the Gods, part II").
The highlight is Big Pun trying to talk since he is so damn fat he mostly just mumbles and wheezes so bad you can't tell what he is saying. Let me summarize the plot -- Snoop dog was a preacher burned in a church fire, he comes back from the dead a year later and kills a drug lord once a month thereafter.
Wow, unless you are doing a bad movie challenge stay as far away from this as possible.

NOT even a "funny" bad movie
FunkyMunkey1067 October 2003
This is the worst film I've ever seen. I rented this hoping for one of those "hilariously cr@p movie experiences" (Plan 9, Anaconda, Congo), but this isn't even watchable. Even hip-hop fans should steer clear of this for fear of seeing your favourite stars in a different light - a big, glaring, filtered light making them look as if someone's shining a spotlight on their foreheads.
Why's it so bad? The talking vacuum cleaner Fat Joe's heaving bulk; the terrible performances from the other actors; the god-awful lighting and filtering; the boring, BORING, BOOOOOORING story; and about a million other things.
In fact, from the looks of "The Wrecking Crew", this was made at the same time, in the same place, with the same crew (same writer, director, assistant director, producers, cinematographer, editor, cameraman... you get the idea), which is just laughable. The 1999 positive comment "[Filmwerks] know their target market and plays incredibly well to it" was surely one of the blurbs rejected for the back of the box for lack of believability. Avoid.

A fantastic home video comedy
aloep23 October 2004
that unfortunately thinks it's a serious film. This is quite simply the most incoherent piece of nonsense ever to come to DVD. No I'm not going to call it a film because it isn't one as it was shot on digital video and has a look which resembles video captured from a digital camera with Pyun's trademark blue filter. In all honesty though, it's not as unwatchable as Crazy Six and the dialogue, the acting, the editing and the fact that you'll probably have no clue as to what is going on makes this absolutely hilarious to watch, especially with the commentary track.
What this video (not, it's not a film) resembles is a home video of a bunch of idiots running around an empty building with paintball guns pretending to be gangsta and going completely over the top with their dialogue and using the f word at the end of every second word. I had no idea who was the good guys or who was the bad guys, if there were any good guys that is. The acting is hilarious, especially Big Pun's mumbling and fact that he's obviously reading off cue cards behind camera. This is one of the worst performances I've ever seen, rivalling only Anna Nicole Smith in Skyscraper and Mario Van Peebles in Exterminator 2. A good 80% of the dialogue consists of the words "f*ck", "motherf*cker" and "n*gger".
Probably the funniest thing is that Albert Pyun comes completely clean about how bad this video is in the commentary. He admits that several members of the cast never met and were edited together to make it look like they were in conversation which is funny, because that is exactly what it looks like. Something which I have suspected he has done in several of his films. He also admits that one of the characters running around in black is actually Snoop Dogg's stunt double and not him, which is necessary if for a second you thought of trying to make the tiniest bit of sense out of this nonsense, because I had no idea this was even meant to be him as it could quite easily have been one of the many gang members. Snoop Dogg was only there for a limited amount of time, he also tells us in case we hadn't already guessed that. Being the first billed character, his face only flashes on and off a few times and then appears at the end, and his stunt double fills in for the rest and believe me, if you don't listen to the commentary you probably won't even realize that the stunt double is supposed to be him. He also tells us that several scenes were the same corridors we saw earlier, just with all the factory mess rearranged and shot in the opposite direction which is exactly what it looks like!
There's also plenty of continuity errors. Such as how did this preacher become so skilled with weapons? In one scene he takes out what I counted to be 17 people in a corridor and apparently has eyes on the back of his head. While viewing it I noticed that one of them even collapses without being shot at in the sea of falling bodies. I could go on and on but it would take all day, so for now I'll just point out the church with the laughable CGI flames!
If you like seeing "filmmaking" at the very bottom end of the spectrum then I seriously recommend you to check out this. Honestly, if enough people see this I think it could be come a Grade Z classic in the future, it has all the makings of it. This video is a joke, nothing more, nothing less and if you have a sense of humour, then this DVD is a lot of fun! There is just simply no way to take this seriously, and the fact that those involved seem quite unaware of it only adds to it.
Oh, and there's a "Disclaimer" from Ice-T at the start but don't worry, much of the stuff he says in that doesn't even happen in the fi sorry video!

Appalling on so many levels
mark_d_washington6 January 2006
I bought this film on a double DVD with The Wrecking Crew for only one pound, so it's not like I broke the bank to buy it. Sadly this dosen't mean it wasn't a waste of money. When I saw the DVD I was really excited about the prospect of a film with not one but four high end rappers in it. I started the DVD and within minutes it became clear that this was possibly one of the worst pieces of cinema ever created. Not bad in a poorly scripted rom-com sort of way, but bad in a "could have been made by a child with their dad's camcorder sort of way. The camera work, scene direction and script make You've Been Framed look like a compilation of cinematic masterpieces. If I was ever to meet Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe or Ice T I would have to ask them why they decided to release the film despite the offence it has so clearly caused to hundreds. In defence of the film they did lose most of the final film reels on route back from Russia, so there's probably an person in France laughing as they watch the version of Urban Menace we were all meant to see. Until that comes to light please avoid this film like the plague and if you have to see it don't say I didn't warn you.
hahahahahahaha

A Great Bunch Of Rubbish
ALIZEEBUM5 March 2005
I purchased this DVD & Driller Killer for 5 euro and expected something more than a compleat pile of crap. There is no story or plot.Urban Menace is a joke.I'm a fan of hip hop and usually find Ice T pretty lame but the tracks he used on this seem to be outtakes from his worst album.Snoop Dogg is rubbish and you would hardly know he was in it.Did he get paid $200 for an afternoons work? I give this 'film' one star simply because Fat Joe & Big Pun made me laugh with their rubbish 'acting'.If you could fix your DVD to only play the scenes with these two you could raise a smile. If you find the Urban Menace DVD lying in the street pass it by...a piece of burnt wood is more interesting.
Vote now to get it in the bottom 100
GruntMcFuttock7 May 2004
I disagree with some of the other comments that the film isn't so bad it's funny, I thought this was so bad it was hilarious! Watching Big Pun wearing a Big Pun T shirt and mumbling along reading his lines from a board - I could barely stop laughing through the whole thing. Luckily the final (brutal) cut makes the movie just under an hour. Watch it if you get the chance.
1/10 for acting, directing, story
10/10 for the mumbling fat man
Register your vote, this deserves a bottom 100 place. Just confirms that rappers and movies generally don't mix well!

The worst movie I've ever seen.
Kir Kanos31 March 2000
Try as I might, I could not find one good thing about this film. OK, the opening disclaimer by Ice-T was funny, but the rest of the movie completely stank. The film quality was terrible and looked like a low resolution full-motion-video from a Playstation game. The acting was on par with a cheesy anti-drug commercial. This movie was obviously a publicity stunt to help promote the rappers who acted (badly) in it.
This is my warning to all IMDb users: DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!

Man, what a super bad movie. It looks like its filmed with a camera from 1914. The screen is mostly blue, and you almost can't see any colors.Fat Joe and his crew are doing nothing, except for talk about eating hamburgers. The opening credits are at least 7 minutes long,just like the end credits. boring movie. the storyline on the DVD box said:
"Caleb, a mad priest,is looking for revenge. A few years ago criminals destroyed his church and killed his family. So he's gonna kill them... With every day more criminals die. Harper,a corrupt agent,is determined to stop the kills. Also crowd leader Crow is going to stop the kills."
Well, Harper, the agent, he's only in the movie for 2 minutes and got shot then and died. Also Crow is mostly not seen. Ice-T is only in the movie for the first 4 minutes,and 30 seconds at the end. also Snoop Dogg was only in the movie after the first 50 minutes, before the first 50 minutes you can only see his name and you can see himself for 2 seconds.
So, never watch this movie, but watch "Everyone hates Urban Menace".

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen. From Ice-T's introduction to Big Pun's death scene, the movie is pure hilarity. If you love watching funny-bad movies this is for you. Watching Big Pun gasp for air before and after every line will have you crying with laughter. The effects are the cheesiest I have ever seen.
I highly recommend this movie!

A movie from some alternate realm of idiocy
dikembejones23 September 2005
This movie could not have been made in more than three days. And by that I mean everything, from the scriptwriting to the filming, to the editing. There truly is no discernible plot to this; the idea seems to be that people would go see it just because of the all-star cast of rappers. Want a master class in brain-dead, pointless dialogue? Look no further. Same goes for those looking to decrease their acting skills. Finding out that this movie is 75 minutes long was a shock; while watching it, it felt as if it were as long as Titanic or Gone with the Wind. As a side note, I don't think Big Pun or Fat Joe stand up once during the whole movie; must have been in their contract or something. Too horrible to even be funny.

i actually remember borrowing this off a friend about 4 years ago and realised how rubbish it was. Then about 6 months ago i was in a shop that sells everything for a pound I found a DVD 'urban menace and 'wrecking crew'. I thought well i haven't seen wrecking crew so i thought well its only a pound, little did i know i was about to witness possibly, no definitely the worst two films on one disc. I mean i could have bought a 10 pack of crisps or sweets instead, i was tempted to take it back but it would be too embarrassing for £1. The funny thing is its actually serious film but surely after they made it they must have thought this is Shiite. Also it has the guy from 'coming to America' with the shiny hair lol...tacky

I can't believe that this movie is not on the bottom 100. The plot of this movie is.... well... uhhh.... the plot of this movie is.... gee, I can't even tell you, because after watching it once, and skimming through it a second time just to see if I missed something, I still have no clue what the plot is. I guess a preacher (Snoop Dogg) has his family killed and wants to get revenge. Then again, I could be wrong.
I rented this movie after I read the back and thought hmmmm, this can't be all that bad. The movie was so poorly made. The lighting was awful, the acting was even worse, the lines sounded like they were being read, and the action scenes were completely fake and lame. It looked like a low-budget college student movie/long music video. The only thing that sort of made it amusing was Big Pun and Fat Joe's miserable excuse for acting. But even that didn't put this in the "so bad its funny" category. I even dozed off a little bit halfway into it, and had to rewind. It was pure torture sitting through this. Take my advice, and avoid this at all costs! Do not watch this, and most importantly, do not spend money to watch this!

Gargabe. The worst movie I've ever seen.
lavis17 August 2002
"State of the art visual effects" said the DVD box.. I actually started to laugh when I saw the crappy low budget flames coming through church windows. At least they could've used a scale model or something. The movie looked and sounded like a crappy action game for pc with good graphics. Picture was filtered and it looked horrible. Film lasts 73 minutes and you could've squeezed it into 15 minutes or something..
Directing was horrible. Acting isn't just the word to describe the "acting" of these Rap-Stars and b-class actors. Dialogue sucked. Ice-T's narration sucked. I cant think of anything that didn't suck. Even if you want to see the rap-stars and you like them, this film will suck for you. It just sucks on all aspects. Worst film I've ever seen and I watch like 300 movies a year so I've seen something..

I was sooo disappointed by this movie. The visuals, the plot, the fact that Ice-T is barely in it...everything! I'm sure that Snoop could have found a better vehicle for him to "act" in. Do not see this movie under any circumstances!!
Big Pun Should Be Turning In His Grave
Movieguy1366 January 2006
When I rented this from blockbuster i wasn't expecting much but i thought it might be an OK flick because of some of the rappers in it. All i can say is that i was wrong. This film was so bad that there were moments when i just wanted to turn it off. Most of the acting was cheesy and unbelievable and the effects were as low budget as it gets.Big Pun Should Be Turning In His Grave after making such a bad film.All I can say is that i want the time back that i wasted watching this and that hopefully you won't make the same mistake i did. I gave the film a 2 just because Big Pun was in it and i thought he did an OK job. So next time you go to your local video store please avoid this movie.
bad
loujoseph26 September 2007
the worst film i have ever seen bar none awful it is a shame because i am a big fan of rap ice t snoop dog etc i just could not believe how bad this film was i cant believe this was released . noting really happens and there is very poor dialogue bad sound bad acting terrible effects i think all people associated with this disaster should publicly apologise for it and all copies of this film should be destroyed so no other poor sole can be bored to tears and feel so disappointed in this abortion of a so called movie when i watched this i could honestly say i was close to tears with how bad it actually was and i felt embarrassed for all the actors as you can probably tell now this is with out a doubt the worst film ever bar none
Incredibly Poor
ebonix15 August 2005
I cannot believe how this made it to DVD. I've never turned off a DVD before in my life until I saw this movie, after about 20 minutes, I grew extremely tired of the incompetent acting skills many of the cast seemed to posses.
I'm a real die-hard Snoop Dogg fan, which was the only reason I brought the film, so that I could see some of his early work. Unfortunately I was unlucky enough to waste £4 on this very movie.
The camera work is the worst I've ever seen, the "special effects" were to the same area of quality and the script is so dis-jointed that it wouldn't entertain a toddler.
Do not watch this movie, it is possibly the worst film of all time and should take pride and place at the bottom of the film ratings on IMDb

I have watched a film called `Urban Menace'. It is directed by Ice- T, a successful musical artist. The plot of the movie is the following: Snoop Dogg ( that is actually his real name ), who plays a preacher, sees his family get brutally murdered by the vicious gang leaders Big Pun and Fat Joe. For those who not know it, these gentlemen are multimillion copy selling rap-stars.
The once so peaceful preacher decides to revenge the death of his family. This was as much as I understood of the plot. To achieve justice Snoop kills exactly every man that crosses his path. Now it gets really confusing, was he not a preacher? What happened to turning the other cheek? The two gang-leaders get nervous and send out their best men to destroy this threat to them. They do not solve this task with ease because Snoop seems to be a ghost. Do not blame me, this is the actual script. It is totally inconceivable and I really can not understand what the director had in mind when he made this film.
This movie is like a puzzle without any matching pieces. Let us examine the pros and cons. This film, if you can call it that, has no advantages, it stinks. But if we examine the disadvantages it gets interesting.
It is such a bad piece of work that you do not know where to start. The photo for example is hilariously untalented, it is either too dark or too white. You can not make out what you are looking at, is it a wall or perhaps a human being? Let us not talk about the acting because it is if possible worse than the photo.
The main character says approximately five sentences (he must be too busy killing gangsters) and the two gangster bosses are not better either. The acting of Big Pun is really a kind of highlight. Here you have a person who is so fat that his talk turns into a mumble. This makes it impossible to grasp what he is saying.
To sum up, This is actually the worst movie I've ever seen. It sets a new standard, I never thought a movie could be this bad. I don't even think the director liked the final result. I'm sorry for being so negative, but there is absolutely nothing positive to be said about embarrassing load of crap. If you're only going to watch one movie this year, don't let it be this one!

"Urban Menace" is another one of those edge-of-your-seat, spine-tingling action drama movies out there. Everything from start to finish is so wonderful; the action sequences are what make this film the most exciting ever! However, some parts may be a little bit emotional, but the excitement put into this wonderful work of art sets this film apart from all of the other films. Basically, this movie shows that life isn't that easy, and some things that were not meant to be done must be taken cared of immediately!
"Urban Menace" is a 10 stars out of 10 stars action flick. I tell you, if I liked this movie, then you will too. After that, you'll think it's exciting also!

Awful
latherzap18 November 2001
This is not a real movie. It could more accurately be defined as a near-plot less one hour music video. And it is a rather uninteresting video.
When I rented it, I saw that the previous customer had not rewound the VHS tape. The previous viewer had only made it ten minutes into the movie, and I soon found out why. Horrible pacing, extremely lame dialogue, bad acting. VERY BORING!!!
If you actually are looking up reviews for this movie, then you must have already heard a minimum one-sentence plot synopsis elsewhere. That means you already know the whole plot, so I won't bother explaining it.
There is one bright spot. Big Pun's acting is pretty bad. I had to chuckle when he read his lines. His scenes saved this from being a completely worthless viewing experience. Thanks.
The anonymous positive IMDb review from 1999 must have been submitted by somebody who helped produce Urban Menace. Really, only a very young child could honestly believe this was anything but garbage.
When I rented it, I saw that the previous customer had not rewound the VHS tape. The previous viewer had only made it ten minutes into the movie, and I soon found out why. Horrible pacing, extremely lame dialogue, bad acting. VERY BORING!!!

Urban Grimace in Pain

This film blows. The other user comment is crazy. The film is deservedly on the Bottom 100 of IMDB. Fat Joe is clearly reading his lines, this isn't worthy of being called a movie. Snoop is laughable as usual as the 'Urban Menace' some diabolical preacher character. Please.
Where's the barf bucket? Or a gun?

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me that someone can make so much money and then waste it. A prime example is funding this film. "Hey guys, let's get our rapper friends and make a movie with guns and stuff and us acting all hardass! It'll be fun!" This movie was obviously made so rap fans can sit in front of the TV with their friends and fake gold and see who doesn't get shot or blown up or both. Be sure to grab a barf bucket before you press play, or a gun...to either shoot yourself or the TV.
