jim-612-428779 Wow If I could figure a way to give this a lower rating I would. My god. I watched it on a pay per view streaming a couple years ago. I can Not get it out of my head and like a very bad commercial Jingle but the whole movie is that way. I felt I had to watch it as I had paid for it. But I will never do this again. Some spoiler points. That teenage kid. As someone said they would have thrown him out of the car. Not to mention they left a dog to die. Not cool. No point in Not saving the dog. There was room in the car. The Chopper taking off to get out of the fire. Well. I just cannot say how badly done that was. Wrong engine sound. I actually saw the folks that made this movie. Did not meet them as they were too full of themselves. When Someone wanted to make an announcement these idiots would not shut up even thought they were made aware that someone wanted to make an announcement. I will not say what else they did that was extremely rude. But now I fully understand in the movie if you can call it a movie they leave the dog to die. And they would have left the dog and anyone else to die in real life I think based on the arrogance. I like to make fun of poorly done B movies. But I have no words for this one. I could not make fun of it. I feel sorry for it somehow but at the same time I want to destroy all the 0s and 1s in computer code that make up this abortion. I can not call this a B movie. If there were a rating of A to F I would give it an F. But there is only one movie as bad. Plan Nine from outer space. But at least that had some character. It was dreadfully painful but this movie is still causing pain years later. The poor actors. Well At least the head actor I think may be a good actor. But must have been as someone else pointed out held at gun point and made to act. And the shot of him in a strong wind holding onto the lip of a man hole that was not even a man hole was played for a long time. As if it was some miraculous shot that no one on earth could have ever done and that anyone seeing it would want a poster of it. So you kind of get a poster as they just keep showing it. I am pretty sure it is the longest shot even done. Or it was just so bad that It felt like it. Now if you want a B movie that is good in my opinion. Watch a movie called Razorback. You can NOT not like this movie. In Fact. It is the best Movie ever made....... about a man eating hog. So even if you are NOT into man eating hog movies you will still like it.
jlthornb51 Daniel Lusko brilliantly directed this exciting cautionary tale from an incisive screenplay penned by K. Lee and Hank Woon. When scientists experimenting with energy set of a series of huge hurricanes, the storms merge and become an apocalyptic Hypercane that threatens to wipe out all life in North America. Casper Van Dien gives a superb performance, with Michael Beach and Sarah Liveing quite moving in supporting roles. While the special effects are breath taking and the haunting imagery of vast vistas of devastation overwhelming, in the end it's the personal stories of the individuals fighting for existence and the future of humanity which make this more than a disaster movie. Actually, this is an important cinematic statement regarding the danger of arrogant science and America's energy crisis. With insightful writing, sensitive direction, and a fine cast, there is no denying the truth brought home through 500 MPH Storm. A chilling glimpse of a future we must all see never arrives.
vicdru1 Talk about "Bloopers!"1 - it's pouring down rain and windy and they show a news lady in the middle of the storm and funny thing, no umbrella and yet she's perfectly dry even though it is pouring rain on top of her.2 - Lightning strikes and starts a forest fire. A woman and her son are about 50 yards from the fire and smoke. The husband pulls up in his truck about 5 minutes later and there is no fire, no smoke, the sun is shining and all is beautiful. Quite literally two minutes later the sky is dark, they are almost completely surround by fire, smoke and embers everywhere.3 - One second the sky is black and there's lightning, winds and horrible weather yet 2 seconds later, the sun is shining, the sky is clear, no clouds, no wind and 2 seconds later - death defying doom is upon them.4 - SEVERAL times it is black clouds, pouring rain and in the same breath, it is pouring rain and the sun is shining brightly.5 - Casper is running, the front of his tee shirt drenched with sweat and literally in the same scene, his tee-shirt is perfectly dry, he turns around and it's partially wet again from sweat, then 2 seconds later all dry.6 - why oh why whenever Casper and/or others were running, they had flashlights glaring even though where they were running had the lights on?
cmbcmb2013 I have not yet watched this film, but after experiencing some of the asylums other work I can only imagine the hell it is to watch.you are probably like me and watch a film no matter how bad the ratings, well the asylum designed the formula for bad movies and filmed it, keep your mind closed to "so crap it's good films" and spare yourself the pain of watching this or anything else like it after this you will be begging to watch something like cat woman or highlander part !! just to remind you there is still a reason to live after watching eye ball bleeding rubbish.my advice, watch anything other than this and remember there is still hope in the movie industry.
