adonis98-743-186503 Hulk Hogan leads an elite Navy SEALS team chosen for an audacious mission to rescue a group of nationals being held captive by a drug lords soldiers who want their leader released. Assault on Devil's Island probably benefits from Shannon Tweed's big chest but other than that? I wouldn't call it a very memorable flick. Hulk Hogan was Hulk Hogan, Carl Weathers looks nothing like Creed or Dillon in this movie and a bunch of other actors show up as well. Overall i'd say give it a watch only if you're bored or just wanna waste time with something. (5/10)
Jakethemuss This is one of those ultra low rent "action" films which just doesn't give a damn. It is so dire, to criticise it would do no good as you would virtually dissect the film to nothing. Instead its better to just laugh at how bad it is, and enjoy the ride.Unintentional comedy? It must be. This film has clearly had no real effort or much else put into it. Expect slow-mo explosions, huge guns being fired from the hip, totally unrealistic and uninterested action scenes, and off course Shannon Tweed getting topless within about....5 minutes.This is the kind of film where the hostages are screaming, card board cut outs of girls who find themselves in a totally laughable situation-and do nothing but wait for help. There's also the henchmen, who are muscled, pony-tailed guys with open waistcoats. Billy Blanks appears as some high kicking, beret wearing villain, who's kicks are so good that the same shot of him kicking Hulk is used about 3 times!!
gridoon Shannon Tweed spends much of this movie bikini-clad, and if there is a 40-year-old actress out there with a better body than hers (except maybe for Ursula Andress), I can't remember her right now. She also looks spectacular firing two guns simultaneously, and her fighting moves are quick and graceful - you don't expect a woman who made a name for herself by starring in countless soft-core erotic thrillers to be a convincing fighter, but somehow Tweed is. Of course this is first and foremost a Hulk HOGan film, and of course he HOGs the spotlight: his delivery is totally flat, but I have to admit that his climactic fight with Billy Blanks is pretty good. Carl Weathers and Martin Kove are both past their prime, but hell, they can still have a go at the action genre if they really want to. Production values are better than expected and there are lots of explosions, but Tweed is basically the only reason I'm giving this film a ** rating (could have been higher if she fought more).
Big Movie Fan Whilst this movie could never be called a fantastic movie it is still worth one look.I like Hulk Hogan but what attracted me to the film initially (apart from Hogan) was the casting-we had Shannon Tweed (beautiful!) and underrated actors Martin Kove and Carl Weathers. What a team they all made.It's a fairly routine action thriller but there are some great scenes throughout the movie particularly at the end when the team all go out to rescue the hostages.There are a lot of other action movies out there that are fantastic but this is certainly decent enough.
