ShangLuda Admirable film.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

kersus Before you read any further, know that this movie is more enjoyable the LESS you know about it and even a review revealing anything about the movie or it's style can ruin it for you. I have no spoilers plotwise, but the whole feel of the movie and how it changes is part of it's charm and knowing that ahead of time can ruin it for you.This movie left me stunned. I have no idea if it's a good stunned or a bad one. It started off like a decent C movie with potential. The acting wasn't great, although most pulled their weight fine (except for Katie Griffin whom I can't decide if it was her or the director). It quickly devolved into an over the top crazy movie. Not campy or B-movie fun. Just wacky. I know, it makes no sense. It certainly was worth seeing, but you won't see it displayed proudly on many shelves.It feels like a much older movie than it was.The biggest thing about it was that it seemed like a porn tribute to horror movies turned thriller. Like the old classic horror movies where the action happens off scene, so does all of the porn. That may sound weird. How can it be porn if I can't see it.... Watch the movie and you'll see! It has a few sexy women besides Shannon Tweed. Unfortunately not Shannon's incredible sister, but some steamy hotness all their own. The early action is good, but the finale has some absolutely crazy stuff. Remember, not campy, but wacky. I don't think this movie was made to be serious, but where they failed was by not making it into a truly campy classic. It had some potential though and could be remade into a B-movie masterpiece. It advertises a sequel at the end and I would not hesitate to pick it up too.Expect this - you'll warm up to the plot and characters quick and as it builds to the tense finale - it becomes wacky. It even sneaks up on you a bit while you're getting over your first stunned look, you'll be forced to go 'WTF?'

smiley-32 Electra.. The new movie starring Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed.. I saw this a few years ago.. I must admit, it was one of the most terrible movies I've seen.. My Sister and I watched it.. We were just laughing our heads off throughout the movie..In this film, you got this funny looking billionaire Roach (STEN EIRIK) who looks like something out of Dr Who.. looking for a serum which can turn some human into superhuman.. The serum is in a teen kid's body, Billy (JOE TABB).. So Roach send his guys to keep Billy's butt and get the serum from him..As it goes on, there were so many flaws in that film.. I really couldn't get the hang of anything on there..So, I felt like this is totally gross.. Pure pappy-show! I know for a fact, Ashok Amritraj made produced some really good action films.. But this is one of his worsts..Well, in the world of film-making.. There are some good points and there are some bad points.. I'm just looking at the bad..It's terrible! Not my cup of tea! Awful! 1 out of 10!

Wilbur-10 Any lover of 50's 'B' movies should tune into this ridiculous, over-the-top, bad-taste film which despite everything is great fun to watch. Shannon Tweed may be limited in her acting range, but for entertainment value give the girl a gold suspender belt in recognition for her services to cinema.'Electra' concerns a wheelchair-bound (and therefore emasculated) megalomaniac called Roach, who seeks world domination in a James Bond-villain kind of way. He needs a serum which can be passed on sexually and Shannon Tweed's step-son Billy (whom she fancies) has the serum in him and they both become the target of Roach's henchmen (and women - there are two particularly appealing, erotic but deadly, kickboxing female assistants).The plot is relatively tight and everything reaches a climax with Shannon Tweed becoming Electra and fighting her stepson's girlfriend for his bodily fluids. Roach meets his demise with an exploding head finale (like Scanners), and everything trundles along happily to a selection of out-takes before the final credits. First rate entertainment - anyone who slates this film should have their video taken off them - they don't understand the meaning of fun.BEST SCENE - Billy's girlfriend has a fight with two leather-clad girls, ripping the heart out of one of them !!!

el pig You have never seen a film like this. From the opening titles you know this is going to be something special - they ooze class. The casting is perfect, the dialogue crisp and the action sequences are breathtaking. Much maligned by the intelligensia but a true example of cinema at its most deeply affecting. The athletic performance by the leading man makes this film a must see.I think all of us will be able to relate to the exploration of taboo themes - in any other director's hands this could have been sleazy and exploitative. It is pitched so well it is a credit to cinema's power to provoke and stimulate thought.
