Got this bomb by accident from Redbox.I got it instead of "Lincoln" no less.Decided to watch it anyway and was even more disappointed. It is total junk.Very bad acting on the part of all including the single lead with any credentials (Borgnine).The other actors, especially the female were incredibly poor and phony.Very bad special effects that are totally unbelievable.Bad sound that increases the discredited special effects.A real bad screenplay of a real bad story. It is disjointed and jumps around.Generally real bad production values.Bad photography.Yeeechh!!!!

OK...so let me get this straight...an American went to cuba to talk to a scientist because the russians were trying to make a nuke out of a diamond and a laser...so he drives in a vw hippie van to Africa...where the hell did the Germans come from?!?!?! That one guy got IMPALED by a SPIKE? thats the best you could come up with? and whats with the one random ninja? and why wont that one guy die...and where did that horse come from? and wait....were we supposed to think that cuban chick was a dude before she got wet?...really? needless to say...this is the single funniest movie i have ever seen. easily one of my favorite comedies ever. I honestly cannot think of a single movie I've laughed harder at, a B movie lovers delight

Let me just say this is by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Brandon, buddy, what the H-E-Double hockey sticks were you doing in this piece of trash!? Don't get me wrong. I'm one of those guys who loves the worst kind of movies, but this one is just too much. I watched this hoping for a combination of the misty classics Warrior of the Lost World and Space Mutiny, but instead got a combination of a bad James Bond, a silly episode of MacGyver, and experiencing a root canal without Novocain. There isn't a single character that isn't nail bitingly irritating, and any hint of a plot is completely absent. Unless you're a die hard Brandon Lee fan, or you're some kind of film masochist, avoid at all costs.

Brandon Lee actually made it to superstardom? Me thinks perhaps the only reason is that he was killed during the Crow. Laser Mission all but proves that there is no talent. Everybody in previous posts are raving about Lee's wit and one-liners - me I played "what stupid thing is the writer going to have Lee say next", and watch Lee blow any sense of timing, delivery, or style. Like Spiderman with a concussion he blows perfect chances to hit lame oneliners and they plop out like a lead fart. Saying that I actually liked the Boris and Natasha knockoffs who were supposed to be some Cuban/Russian/African soldiers of fortune, and really wished there were more shots of them.Unfortunately Lee was not the only rotten part of the movie. Borgnine must have had sunstroke to sign on, and Monihan - though giving us a couple nice shots of her flesh covered pasties, and her on again off again bra, couldn't act her way out of a tele-evangelists healing stage. And isn't Lee supposed to have been some sort of Kung Fu master? The martial arts in this flop consisted of synchronized falling down and explosions in the distance.The ending supposedly tied everything together after killing the psychotic bad guy about a jillion times. He deserved it for uncuffing Lee, me I would have placed a slug between Lee's eyes the first chance I got and saved the world the last 30 minutes of this flop.My suggestion - stick with watching Daddy Lee, and let Brandon's movies grow mildew in the dungeon's of the rankings.
