Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - one of the 80's worst action movies!!!
bottom of the barrel action with one of dolgh lundgren's worst preformances(so you know it must be really bad) as a soviet officer sent to kill an african leader. when he gets there he changes sides and helps the african people against the soviets.
sounds much better than it really is ,the action is flat as is the whole movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! skip it!!!!!!!!!!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Red Scorpion: Produced by Convicted Lobbyist Jack Abramoff
It is rumored that Jack Abramoff earned roughly ten million dollars (after taxes) in his first and apparently only movie production.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Dolph Lundgren's version of "Rambo"
I think this was one of Dolph's better movies. It does a pretty good job of representing the factions in Angola. It has a solid plot.

Its unrealistic that one man is going to come along and single handedly end a war thats been going on for years (especially in Africa) but thats why its only a movie.

Yes the same man who bribed over 60 congressmen and senators, robbed several native american tribes blind, tried to take out life insurance policies on tribal elders with himself as the beneficiary, and called the Choctaw tribal council "Monkeys" and "troglodytes", ... Read More
