Goofs:

Continuity: When Kat is dancing on stage, just before the solider rips her throat out she is wearing a skimpy silver bikini. After her throat is ripped out and she is carried to her dressing room, she gets up and walks out. Miraculously she is wearing a silver and black Basque and thong, without having any time to get changed.

Quotes:

Maj. Camus: Nothing like a good challenge.
Lt. Ryker: We improvise and adapt, sir!
Maj. Camus: We just stopped that thing, what was it called again, Lieutenant?
Lt. Ryker: Armageddon, sir!
Maj. Camus: That's the one. Lieutenant Ryker here killed Satan himself with a sharp stick. Good work soldier!

A Mixed Bag of Goodies

I thought of giving it a higher mark because the moments that work do work extremely well. Problem is is that sometimes it's hard to tell why we are laughing. One moment it seems like the filmmaker is not in on the joke but then along come moments so blatantly outrageous with cues (such as music or the way something is framed) that make one thing the filmmaker is aware of the tone of a scene and how the acting and the comedy and the horror, etc. are working. In any case the shifts in tone were a little hard to get used to. The gore is sometimes very delicious and creative with attention paid to fans of organic gore. Sometimes it looks plain old cheesy, bad CGI style gore. The acting is overall good, even when over the top. However for my taste no matter how aware they were of their own "bad" performances I think the movie could have benefited from a lot less "Look at my bad performance wink wink" acting and more of the playing-it-straight acting (believe it or not Jenna Jameson is one of the more successful at keeping this in mind). Robert Englund strikes just the right balance between over-the-top and playing it straight, he stops shy of taking it too far. O yea and although not really partial in that hormonal way to T & A I must admit what the movie offers is sure to please. The dancing is fun to watch in the first section and bizarre and hilarious in the second (I refuse to spoil).
