Godzilla
director: Roland Emmerich actor: Matthew Broderick / Jean Reno …
French nuclear tests irradiate an iguana into a giant monster that viciously attacks freighter ships in the Pacific Ocean. A team of experts, including Niko Tatopoulos, conclude that the oversized reptile is the culprit. Before long, the giant lizard is loose in Manhattan as the US military races to destroy the monster before it reproduces and it's spawn takes over the world.

Long, limp facsimile of a Godzilla movie ripping off also Jurassic Park, Aliens etc while including as much corporate promotion as possible. Broderick, in particular, underwhelms.

Godzilla 98 is the Woodstock '99 of monster movies.

Bombastic right-wing fantasy with one bemulleted, besteroided manly man single-handedly undoing the US defeat in Vietnam caused by, you know, people not "Real American" enough. (Yeah, my comment's a little bit political. But just a tiny sliver compared to the politics of the Rambo franchise.) But I loves me some action!

The gang that created Airplane! and The Naked Gun sets its sights on Top Gun in this spoof. Topper Harley is a talented but unstable fighter pilot with an axe to grind: clearing the family name. His mission is to avenge his father and save a mission sabotaged by greedy weapons manufacturers. He also gets involved in a relationship with Ramada Thompson, a woman with an unusually talented stomach. Hot Shots! makes fun of a variety of other films, from Dances with Wolves to The Fabulous Baker Boys.

Parody of films like 'Top Gun', from Jim Abrahams of 'Airplane' fame. Not quite the same standard but a lot of LOL moments.

The FSB are the good guys! Rashist money bought a lot of foreign B-listers, but not much of a movie.

Mark Dacascos at least enjoys himself hamming it up as an "evil Jean-Claude Van Johnson", a fading martial arts star who has become a hitman with a penchant for terrible disguises & accents. I'd pay to see him in "Shaolin Cop"!

Kelly Hu gorgeous & confident, but we never got a fight with her & Mark.

Alexander Nevsky shows all the charisma of a block of wood.

Tom Arnold, Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo, Bai Ling, Matthias Hues & Billy Baldwin showed up to collect their cheques. Actually, I don't think Billy even showed up, just did it remotely.
