This brings back memories of Sydney back in the '80s when I was growing up! Very well done, packed with laughs and lots of visual gags and spoofs of people from the home loan, building and banking industry. Anybody who has been through the experience of saving up to buy a new home for the family on limited finances should be able to relate to the movie.
A great cast of people bringing to life some very likable characters help bring you into the story. Many of the actors went on to become famous and well accomplished in the years to follow. It's funny seeing them so young in this movie!

This has it all - guns, comedy, a stupid plot, senseless violence, explosions, drug dealers, Denis Leary, cleavage, and none of that stupid emotional baggage most films seem to adopt at some point - what more could a guy want? Definitely a great movie to watch when having a few drinks with some mates. My friends all constantly come back to watching this movie after a night out, it just has everything. Great B-grade performances from some top name actors like Denis Leary, Patrick Stewart, Christopher Lambert and Mario Van Peebles. It's the sort of thing you could almost imagine yourself getting caught up in on a baaaaad holiday to South America.
I don't recommend any girls watch it, though I know a few who would find it amusing. To the people who say it is super-violent, try watching the nightly 6 o'clock news. Far worse stuff happens every day in real life.

This is one of the only movies I have trouble sitting through. Blood and guts are fine with me, but this movie is just plain disturbing! After taking it to a party to watch only two people out of about thirty could actually stomach it. Most of them felt sick only half way through. It certainly didn't make people laugh like most other horror/comedy movies. I wouldn't describe it as a comedy, but of course the sort of people who would hire it in the first place (like me!) are likely to find it highly amusing. The sick twisted midget just makes me laugh! Watch this movie alone, because people will think you're a freak if you enjoy it plus they'll hate you for making them sit through it! But it hits the mark where so many other horror movies fail - it truly scares and disturbs people.
