Mr. N A early childhood favourite and for good reason. Powerful imagery, amazing synth soundtrack and stylish action. What every 80s boy liked. As an adult one can see that this is a very politically correct film touching on 'rainbow politics', gender equality, no firearms or death and global politics. For example the rainbow coloured targets and smoke screen could just be great visuals but the uniforms, the macho dialogue and the lustful expressions in the real time dune buggy attack? Deliberate I think. Persis Khambatta joining a tier one delta, sorry mega unit? Deliberate gender politics I think. As for Henri Silva's line 'You've never understood that they are-- they are just numbers! Numbers! You're an idealist. In the '70s we could be idealists. But today, it's too expensive.' Very astute and well delivered global political statement. Scoring across a self invented tick box of what makes a great film, this ticks highly... yet it's not for everyone. Perhaps it was too close to being spoof-like to be taken either seriously or light heartedly, Hal Needham's comedy 'bandit' background not quite lending itself to this genre. As a fan we love it and want others to love it too, it is a unique one off, like a mutt of a dog loved only by those who know better. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Matthew C I think many of the reviews are through a lens of people in the 2000s experiencing a movie from the 80s. My experience is that Ace was good looking and a man among men, sure he looks like he, and the rest failed out of BeeGees University but for the time the movie was released this was a rip roaring good time for teenagers like myself. We can put this up against Flash Gordon and Ice Pirates and see it was a product of the era. I loved it and it cemented actors of the caliber of Barry Bostwick and Michael/ Dallas aka Mr "Xanadu" in my mind as actors to follow. By today's standards it's not holding up but as a teen in the 80s it was the bomb Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Richard V Wow! Critics need to lighten up! This movie is popcorn fun, and not to be taken at all seriously. Once in a while, you have to just lay back and enjoy the fun! This show represents just that, and the fun that was the 80s. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review paul m its so cheezy, a remanence of the 70's/80's....but its so cheezy and bad its awesome.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie not just for the 80s love but also for the fun storytelling. It's straightforward and unapologetic in its the good guys always win story. I feel that if the blue screen bits had been removed or cut down (about 5 min of the movie) it would have faired better. the practical effects and stunt work are perfect.
