Synopsis

Affable hit man Melvin Smiley is constantly being scammed by his cutthroat colleagues in the life-ending business. So, when he and his fellow assassins kidnap the daughter of an electronics mogul, it's naturally Melvin who takes the fall when their prime score turns sour. That's because the girl is the goddaughter of the gang's ruthless crime boss. But, even while dodging bullets, Melvin has to keep his real job secret from his unsuspecting fiancée, Pam.

michaelstephensus I was shocked to see the rating for this movie, because I often cite it as the worst movie I have seen. There are some that might say I am taking it too seriously. Nonsense. I love satire. The script is horrible. It is not funny, it is not cute, it is not charming, it is just a waste of time.
Python Hyena The Big Hit (1998): Dir: Kirk Wong / Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Lou Diamond Phillips, China Chow, Christina Applegate, Avery Brooks: Action packed geek show demonstrating objects distorted from idiocy. Mark Wahlberg plays a hit-man who hates his job. "Remember all those people you killed?" Lou diamond Phillips presses on. "They have relatives that probably don't like you." Plot regards the accidental kidnapping of the goddaughter of their boss. She remains at Wahlberg's home where she cooks dinner for his fiancée and parents. Then a gunfight at the dinner table will end at Big Top Video. Pointless and stupid big budget trash directed half-heartedly by Kirk Wong. Wahlberg should have wings for all the dashing about he does. He is unsympathetic regardless of his feelings toward his job. His friendship with Lou Diamond Phillips is confusing where they are best buds one moment and then blasting away at each other behind a rack of the latest new releases the next. China Chow is the victim who is cooking one minute then escaping the next. Finally she awaits her knight as Big Top Video comes crumbling down. Christina Applegate is wasted as his fiancée and deserves better material than what this junk offers. Avery Brooks is flat as the mob boss who has the personality of a flat tire. Extremely dumb film should be called The Big Miss. Score: 1 / 10
M MALIK yes this is what this whole film about starting mark wahlberg the guy cant act for sure but movie critics sucks his movies & i hate movie critics they had no business seeing film.the big hit 1998 is about a gang members kidnapping & daughter of a movie producer & then series of comedy,sexual & nonsense action goes till the end of the film.one of the thing i hated about is the plot about a VHS rental who the hell would risk everything to return a VHS common .thank god there are DVDs now.that whole point about this was stupid.Lela Rochon was the only & sexy girl i liked.the big hit is big, just forget it i don't wanna say it here this is IMDb it will get censored.my rating i wish i could give zero but 1/10 is fine.stay away from this film.what some adult film instead
gcd70 Could you possibly make a movie worse than this? Biggest mistake Chinese director Wong made was taking himself seriously. Instead of treating this as a full-on wild action romp, he should have done the whole thing tongue-in-cheek.The entire film is incoherent, from its ludicrous action sequences to its indeterminable plot to its totally unfathomable characters. A young Asian kidnap victim has her boyfriend's head blown off right next to her and is totally cool about it, while "Mark Mark" is doing back spins while shooting bad guys in an opening scene. Need I go on?In the meantime Lou Diamond Phillips and Christina Applegate have committed professional suicide. Goodness knows why they signed up for this trash.Monday, July 13, 1998 - Hoyts Entertainment Centre Sydney
