A Big Budget Explosive Loud and Fun B Movie

The Taking Of Beverly Hills  If you love high octane B Movies, then this one’s for you. It’s a relentlessly paced onslaught of huge explosions and action that never let’s up. It’s also highly absurd and totally ridiculous, which is what makes it so great! You really have to suspend all disbelief and just check your brain at the door because common sense was not a factor when writing the scrip. It’s dumb, but also so much fun. It wears it’s early 90’s vibe on it’s sleeve (mullets!), and easily one of the most enjoyable Die Hard knockoff’s out there, not to mention on a visual level, it looks fantastic. Yea it may be unintentionally hilarious because of how absurd it is, or how totally ridiculous scenario’s are what drive the film forward, but again, it rules because stuff get’s blown up on a minute to minute basis and it’s kind of hilarious, awesome, and ridiculous all at the same time. I had such a blast with this, and I hope you will too. Just check your brain at the door.

What a Great Movie!

I had originally seen the preview for this movie within another nameless early 90s stinker, back in the day. I hadn’t given this movie another thought until I was at a truck stop in Morrilton, Arkansas, and saw it sitting there, collecting dust next to a bunch of other stinkers (like Tremors 3). I immediately remembered the preview: a bunch of cars blowing up, lots of shooting, plenty of “tag lines;” you know, the usual action movie cliches. Realizing that I’d never see this movie again, I bought it. During the drive home, I kept building it up to my girlfriend as being the stupidest looking movie on earth, based on the preview that I had seen over a decade ago. Once we got home, we popped it in the VCR, prepared to laugh ourselves silly. Not so. It is one of the most underrated movies of all time. It is fantastic!!! Great (if not a little cheap looking) action sequences!! Great plot! Decent acting! Superb plot twists and turns! Unformulaic ending! I was quite surprised. I think the previews made it look far worse than it actually is. The scene where the hero is blowing stuff up to “Epic” by Faith No More almost causes goosebumps. The catch is: You MUST be a fan of the genre. If you are, this movie will NOT let you down. I promise!
