Quotes

Jimmy Dial: [while patrolling in unmarked patrol car, telling joke] I cannot lie. I was humping my goat. So, the D.A. says, "But there's more to the story, isn't there, Farmer Brown?"
Gordon Wisk: Of course.
Jimmy Dial: So, Farmer Brown says, "After I finished humping my goat, the goat turned around and licked my balls." At which point, the judge turned to Farmer Brown and said, "Hey, a good goat will do that."
[Gordon looks at Jimmy with no response]
Jimmy Dial: A good... Aw, come on. Gordy. I had everybody rolling with that this morning.

The right grade for this film...
1 May 2006 | by See all my reviews

...is something around a "5 out of 10". If you take Anna Nicole Smith out, it is a decent action film, with nice explosions, respect-worthy stunts (people falling from great heights or being burned alive), and a few surprisingly solid martial arts fights with Branko Cikatik. And yet until today more than half of the 700-something people who have voted on "Skyscraper" gave it a "1" - obviously because of ANS (and quite a few people gave it a "10" - again, obviously because of ANS). Yes, her acting is on a high-school play level, and her grotesquely over-sized breasts are a matter of taste, but you can't say that she doesn't make an effort. But if you're thinking of getting this movie just to see her nude, don't - the two sex scenes run a total of 5 minutes in a 90-minute movie and feel like they were added in post-production (and in what might be an attempt to keep the ladies happy as well, the film includes a fair number of hunky males in it - seriously, these terrorists might have a more profitable career as fitness models). Overall, this is about on a par with ANS's other film, "To The Limit"; take that as you will. (**)
