Wiz-Kid Ugh! I almost puked after I watched that... A very poor action movie, with mediocre performances, simplistic effects and sets, and a really clichéd storyline.Disaster, also known as Cult of Fury, stars Jim Davidson as Roger, an average action hero. Marnie Alton plays Tracy, the girl that causes the whole trouble, and Sonny Surowiec plays Maxwell, an arrogant villain who thinks he's a big genius and that putting a bunch of bombs in Las Vegas is going to make him as famous as Hitler, Jesus and Martin Luther King. I'm not joking, that's what he says in some part of the movie!Now, where's the problem? Maxwell decides to take hostages, hunt down the hero and the girl. The hero's sidekick, Kenny, also has a problem: his daughter, Jenna, is in danger. And THAT'S where everything starts to collapse... literally.Maxwell places bombs anywhere around the place and activates them using a PDA. He presses the "bomb icons" on the screen and... BOOM! A bomb explodes. What really surprised me is the amount of innocent people dying in this movie. It's a whole lot of people, I'm telling ya! At the end of the movie, a TV anchorwoman reveals the body count of this movie. The villain died. The hero's boss died. And dozens of innocent die......but it doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, the hero is alive, the girl is alive, the sidekick and his daughter are alive. All's well that ends well, right? Nobody is going to care about all those poor people who died. I really felt sorry for them, especially for the villain, who seemed to be a nice guy! If you find this movie in a video store, skip it, visit the IMDb and vote this a 1 out of 10. It deserves it.

ericdecker I have to say that this was really fantastic. It manages to get absolutely everything wrong that a movie can possibly get wrong. It takes "cheap" to a whole new level, splicing in random footage from old newscasts. And you will be treated to a closeup of the bad guy using his PDA to set off bombs about 20 times, maybe two or three variations on the theme. It is a floor plan with about six clickable locations.To call the acting wooden would be an insult to trees. But we don't expect good acting from such films, we want action! But sadly, they can't even do this right. For some reason, all the guys from SWAT and the bad guys private army carry assault rifles, but prefer to punch each other instead. There are two or three different guys who break the necks of their opponents while using only the strength necessary to open a jar of mayonnaise. They do it quite casually.The effects? As part of the finale, you will be treated to the destruction of the Hoover Dam. To recreate in your own projects, take a postcard featuring the dam and set it under your bathroom faucet.But really, this masterpiece all comes from the writing. Expect to be entertained by the random, yet affable dialogue. Hey, if you're looking for good writing, go read a novel or something.Good luck with this movie, I think it will stand out in your mind - much like "Night of the Leapus". You will find yourself wondering again and again whether it is meant satirically. I could only have been happier if there were a director's commentary on the DVD.

Theo Robertson !!!!! MILD SPOILERS !!!!!Suppose you were in deadly danger and needed to be totally anon , what would you do ? If you answered " Hide in a cave " you'd probably be right . If you answered something along the lines of " Become a singing sensation at a Las Vegas casino " then you'd probably be carted off somewhere to be force fed anti-psychotic pills . Alternatively you could also be invited to write a script . Guess what ? someone was invited to write a script and it's called DISASTER .Tracy is on the run from a Cult ( That's not a spelling mistake by the way ) and decides to hide out in Vegas as a star singer who's so famous her posters are plastered everywhere . Oh and she doesn't even bother to change her name , only her hairstyle . Do you think this is credible ? Can we expect to see a duo called Osama and Saddam singing The Desert Song at a downtown casino in the near future ? but who needs credibility when you've got Yossi Wein as director Yossi Wein directed such fare as DEATH TRAIN , US SEALS and OCTOPUS 2 so you know what to expect ie not much . If DEATH TRAIN resembled UNDER Siege 2 then DISASTER resembles the original DIE HARD except it's set in a casino , has little in the way of budget , with an unimpressive cast . It's also obvious the bad guy was written with a slimy limey actor in mind but couldn't get Rickman , Oldman or Bean ( Possibly because they saw the script ? ) so a plank of wood was cast instead . In fact I felt really sorry for Mr plank because there's so many flaming explosions in this film ( That's all there is in this movie - explosions ) and I was really worried he might get turned into charcoal Which reminds me the special effects of cars , helicopters and buildings going up in flames are obviously achieved by setting fire to toys - Some child is going to be very upset on Christmas day - while the more convincing ...sorry less unconvincing effects seem to be stolen from other movies I think Despite all this I couldn't help noticing Tracy has a well developed pair of lungs so maybe her career as a singer isn't as ridiculous as it seemed at first . Tracy's lungs were the only reason I didn't off the TV

xfile1971 I won't even bother to discuss the plot because it would be degrading to me as a human being. I'll make this quick. Some of the outrageous characteristics of this "movie" (located in Las Vegas) include the following: so-called "special effects" that were created by a computer and a blue screen, out of place stock footage provided by ABC News, a car which is driving in a straight line and goes by the Bourbon Street Casino FIVE times(!), a horribly cheesy set that we are supposed to believe is an actual casino, voice dubbing that is so out of sync that I might as well have been watching a kung fu movie...and on and on and on.The silver lining to this cloud is that I did laugh about five or six times while watching "Cult Of Fury". It almost could work as a comedy...but not quite. AVOID!!
