I contemplated for a while if I should give "Inferno Thunderbolt" a 1 or a 2 out of 10. At the end I decided on a 2, because there are at least a couple of action scenes in the final 10 minutes. Don't get me wrong, those are as terrible as the rest of the movie, but at least SOMETHING is finally happening to wake up the viewer from his slumber. Because for more than an hour, this supposed "action" movie has virtually NO action in it. The first bad sign comes early on, when the filmmakers can't even make a female mud wrestling match exciting! Of course I can tolerate a bad, cheap, incoherent, awfully dubbed movie if it is at least FUN, but "Inferno Thunderbolt" is not much fun. It is an ordeal that few people will be able to live through.
