I thought I'd review a movie fitting the holiday!! Happy Thanksgiving, fans!!
Uncle Sam
1996, distributed by Solomon International Pictures
Starring: David 'Shark' Fralick (yes, he's credited as 'Shark') as Uncle Sam Harper, Jason Adelman as Jesse, and Isaac Hayes as Jed Crowley. Isaac must have been hurting for cash to do this retarded movie.
J-Rock's Review:
of 5 skulls
This one's pretty cheesy, but it doesn't really try to be serious. It's about a Desert Storm vet named Sam, of course, who dies in battle and then comes back to life to kill all the "evil" people in the U.S. So he goes around killing tax evaders, draft dodgers, and crooked politicians.
The death scenes are all right, but the best (or should I say worst) is Sam's own, when Jed "Voice of Chef" Crowley and Jesse (Sam's nephew - hence the title "Uncle Sam") blow him up with a parade-ground cannon, which somehow shoots live rounds. When they blow Sammy back into the house, the wire pulling him backwards through the air is more than obvious. Then their second shot causes the ENTIRE house to explode in a fiery inferno. Huh? Don't ask. Just rent it and see for yourself. The box is really cool, with one of those "switches when viewed at different angles" covers.
