Fight to Win (1987)
Hilarious!
I admit I was being sceptic about this movie, but since I only paid about $3.50 for the DVD I was all game. I didn't expect much - only good fight scenes ( I mean Cynthia Rothrock, her boyfriend (at that time) George Chung, Richard Norton, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace and Chuck JEffries)
But that movie is so much more! First of all - there IS a story, which might not be worth an Oscar, but considering it's a B-movie, it's actually good.
Nobody in the production claims to be an actor - but if you give the film a chance, wait until Rothrock enters the scene. From that moment on the movie gets better and better.
This movie never takes itself seriously. Especially the endfight is just so much fun. I think I never laughed so hard about an action B-movie! Soo great!
**Disclaimer: You should like action/martial-arts-B-movies. Although it's extremely funny, it's not a standard comedy and does not intend to be.
The Challenge (2003)
a typical Olsen-Twin movie
Before you complain: This is a typical Teenage-Olsen-Twin movie. It´s nice, it´s charming, it´s predictable. The music is TERRIFIC, the landscapes are great, and it´s nice for ending an evening of really hard work, because it allows you to relax and feel good
***SPOILER: At the end of the movie, when everybody gets their sweetheart and they kiss - stay tuned! It´s the BEST ending I´ve ever seen in a teenage-lovestory! And really funny - because it proves the twins have humor and know how to laugh about their own previous productions! ***END OF SPOILER ***
Still I feel a bit sad, because I really do believe that the two sisters CAN act (plus: they feel comfortable on front of the camera, and act naturally), but they could achieve SO much more with the right story and the right crew. Maybe Charlie´s Angels was a good beginning...
I sincerely hope so ;-)
