nzpedals it's amusing to read the reviews that complain about the bits pinched from other films? who-cares, just suspend one's usual criteria and go with the ...flow. did anyone really expect Oscar potential?Jet fighter pilots at the start, murder, faked death, then some guys steal a stealth plane! lots of bodies already. Then there has to be a rescue. Enter the big hero, at first he has a whole bunch of Seal- types with him, but they ALL get killed, so, it is up to him to save the world. But alas, even he can't save the 141 guys in the submarine.and guess what... he does too. and gets back home in time for the parent's day at the (over)cute daughter's school.The story is passable-fantasy-hero stuff, the acting varies, but is not as bad as some reviewers claim, hey what do you expect from a 9- year-old? I was impressed with the scenes showing the planes... until I read how they "did" them. They didn't, they borrowed the footage.My only real complaint is that the plane and submarine interiors look too big. Both those things are so cramped?

smekpepper-1 Most movies begin with the familiar FBI warning that Commercial use or duplication of copyrighted material is Forbidden by law. Violators are subject to criminal penalties...United States Code three-two niner... something or other. The producers of this movie are not subject to the laws they wish you and I to believe in. The entire opening sequences are lifted directly from 'Flight of the Intruder'. Other integral scenes are from movies such as and including 'Hunt for Red October'. I would be ashamed to place my name in the credits for this film if I were involved in its production as most all pivotal scenes are recycled from previous works.

xredgarnetx STEALTH FIGHTER is a STV that employs a sizable amount of stock footage to retell the tale told 100 times more professionally in BROKEN ARROW. A fighter pilot (Ice-T, who reads every line with even less inflection than Chuck Norris, if that's possible) fakes his own death in order to eventually get around to stealing a Stealth for a mobbed-up bad guy (the ever-grim Andrew Divoff, once again playing a bad Latino). Ice-T's old compadre, hotshot pilot Costas Mandylor (the new millennium's Michael Pare), is hot on his trail. I should have been suspicious of all the stock footage and cheap-looking miniatures. Sure enough, the director is good old Mr. Recycler, the Dumpster Diver himself, Jim Wynorski. The only good thing about this flick: A black actor plays the U.S. president. Bad news, though: It's Ernie Hudson, who is not believable for one moment as the president. Hudson hasn't been believable in anything since GHOSTBUSTERS, although I do love to watch him get his at the end of THE SUBSTITUTE. And here's a little bit of irony or coincidence: Veteran character actor "Tiny" Lister has a modest role in the flick as a thug. Tiny, who is black, played the U.S. president in THE FIFTH ELEMENT. Lister I can buy as the president.

truh21 This is the most amazing film I have ever seen. Everyone MUST take 80 minutes out of their day to bask in its splendor. Great photography, superb acting, and incredibly memorable lines! "I got the satellite, I got the stealth, I got the bombs, I got the power, and please, Mr. President, don't think I won't use them." What more do you need? My only question is, where is Ice-T's Oscar?! Every scene is a gem, from William Sadler's "beratement" of Costas Mandylor, to the Wishmaster's bedroom escapades, to the final showdown between Mitchell and T! The list just goes on and on. The best part of all, and you must view the entire film to understand this, is that the plot is completely fluid and realistic! One final note: Stealth Fighter was released the same year as The Matrix. Only a fool would not recognize Stealth Fighter's clear superiority. Enjoy!
