cheshire551225800 This movie is a classic of film noir. Just because it has a low budget and a noted B movie director doesn't mean that he didn't create a bit of art out of what could have been schlock.Give it a chance if you like intense movies about the nature of violence or just a good shoot 'em up testosterone-fest that allows the few females a chance to shine as well. This movie is just a completely under-appreciated gem. Christopher Lambert does psycho well and there are quite a few of the usual suspects in this director's movies, but they all come together to do a good job.Try a few of the other of this director's works such as Omega Doom with Rutger Hauer and Tina Cote from this movie shows up as well, or try Nemesis which is a kind of terminator knockoff, but has a lot more edge and again some of the same actors.
bronsonskull72 Christopher Lambert stars as Lou seemingly invincible serial killer (He has just killed his daughter's step-father for molesting her) who along with a group play a battle royale, in which the prisoners are all forced to fight out to the death, until 3 are last standing which then get a million dollar prize. Among the prisoners include genre faces such as Return Of The Living Dead's Thom Mathews, Karate Kid II's Yuji Okumoto, Streets Of Fire's Deborah Van Valkenburgh and Pyun regular Tina Cote. Ice-T is the prison warden who is also probably going to die as well, what transpires is a downbeat yet at times very enjoyable Battle Royale scenario that is consistently watchable enough to be considered one of Pyun's better efforts. Also it helps that the cast has somewhat of a coolness factor. However let it be said that the bleached hair look is not to Lambert's advantage.2.5/5 Matt Bronson
icet2004 Yeah this movie is funny and Ice-T was a big gun in this movie. good end.Ice-T's rap skills are very good.he is not good actor,but not bad too.average.this movie is strange.i have seen Johnny Mnemonic where Ice-T played J-Bone.it's was Keanu Reeves Movie.Keanu Is Good Actor.Mean Guns is different than all other movies i ever seen. Ice-T is my idol from music.i love his album original gangster and his song Cop Killer.he is the best rapper ever.i have heard that Ice-T wrote a book and it's called the ice opinion.all that makes is pure gold actually,but movies sometimes bad i don't mean 'Mean Guns' i mean 'New Jack City'.Ice-T's only real rival in rap is Krs One.
Tjeerd (abmannetje) If you're very fond of movies that don't mean a thing. Then this might just be the one. There is a lot of action and you don't have to keep your mind at the story, because, in my opinion, there isn't one. A perfect movie for a horrible stormy November evening, while you've got nothing else to do. just sit back and watch 100 criminals smashing each others heads with baseball bats, or trying to shoot-to-kill. Ice-T plays the roll of Marcus, a chief of the syndicate, and he needs to get rid of some lower-rank members of that same syndicate. His contempt of a hell's Angel look-alike is clearly visible when he says: "Then don't play." As a not-serious-movie, this one scores high on my personal list.
