Right

To sum everything up,the inexplicably popular Hulk Hogan,washed-up can't-believe-it's-not-porno star Shannon Tweed,Apollo Creed,the cop from "Last House"(who was cool before I saw this) and some other guy who is cleaning up vomit at Wal-Mart while you read this shoot for hours and hours and hours from open spaces without getting a scratch.Usually writers try to make it remotely believable by having one guy shot in the arm or something like that but no,not here.There's just something bothering me about Hulk Hogan being surrounded by twenty guys and just shooting them one by one with his painfully slow moves.It's a way-too-common trend in action flicks that villains with machine guns who are off-screen immediately stop existing.At least Seagal hides behind a crate or something.It's also pretty hilarious how none of the people who get shot appear to bleed,they just fall down.It's like a bunch of children playing the extremely offensive game cowboy and Indian in their grandma's attic.The most preposterous thing about this though must be the unforgivably stupid ending.For being nearly dead Hogan has a pretty easy time overpowering that guy.And how can syringes float?I mean,it wasn't full,there was still some air in it,but if it doesn't sink it can at least float away.For the people who think wrestling(which in Hogan's case,is not a lot more than soft punching)is real.
