Powerful

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

FORTRESS OF AMERIKKKA is a rural American action thriller that's even less entertaining than the usual fare released by Troma; it lacks the kind of campy, fun nature of something otherwise awful such as A NYMPHOID BARBARIAN IN DINOSAUR HELL. The story involves some rural gung-ho antics as lawless mercenaries roam a national park and a rugged hero goes up against them.The first thing to say about this film is that it's way too dark. The night-time scenes are poorly-lit, making it hard to see what's going on, and they take up the majority of the running time. The acting is of the usual pitiful standard with wooden performances all round. The quality of the film is generally poor and the only exploitation comes from some topless nudity. Even the action scenes, which should be the highlight of a film like this, are badly staged and inept. It's a real dud.

The threadbare aimless 'plot' has some sort of militia camping out in a park & killing anyone and everyone they come across for no reason what so ever. Meanwhile, John Whitecloud, an ex- con, has a grudge with the racist sheriff who had killed his brother. Meanwhile John's ex-lover fights with her current lover. Do any of these plots come together? Not really in any coherent way. In fact I feel that I'm less intelligent for having watched this mind-numbing 'thing', (i hesitate to even call it a movie for fear of sullying that word) And don't even get me started on the seldom periodic awful 'dubbing'. I know Troma films are to be judged on the lowest end of the bell curve and are an acquired taste, but this has to be among the worst of the products that they have put out.My Grade: FEye Candy: Alley Kane, Lisa Star, Alison LePriol, and Karen Michaels get topless (as does Lori Anne Trezzo, but her character is dead at the time)

If you are expecting the usual Troma humor with usual Troma bad acting and violence then this is not for you..this truely is a terrible..but yet hillarious movie to watch. This Lloyd Kaufman , Michael Herz production directed by Eric Louzil who directed Class Of Nuke Em High 2:Subhumanoid Meltdown for Troma is quite possibly the worst acted movie I have ever seen in my life...seriously porno is more top notch in acting than this but the lines and dialogue are so ridiculous and Kaufman's " evil government conglomerate elitist" rhetoric was basically the foundation for the entire movie that has no explanations for any of the actionsFor some reason a government militia is killing people at random for no reason , what exactly the militia who are called the Fortress Of Amerikkka are doing is not explained , the hero of the movie is an ex con just released from prison who has beef with the sherrif who killed his brother..why the hero was in prison is never explained..but no explanations aside just prepare yerself for a funny but awful movie I give it a 7/10 on a Troma scale...other viewers beware

This really is bad Troma. Just silly action scenes, a plot that doesn't make any sense, hammy acting, and no laughs. Some significant T&A, but Troma can do better than this.If anyone can understand just what those mercenaries were supposed to be doing out in the middle of a national park, and how they could attract no ATF attention in spite of numerous firearms regulations, tell me immediately. I watched the movie, and their motives are never clear. Just run around killing people? The plot is convoluted - the mercenaries are out murdering beautiful girls in the forest (and any other civilians they can lay their hands on) while the sheriff and the ex-con hero duke it out over past wrongs. Somehow it feels like they could have made three Steven Seagal movies out of pieces of this plot.The only thing special about this film is the inclusion of gorgeous porno star Kascha in what could best be considered a cameo. Anyone who was fond of her exotic looks should consider watching this film, as it captures her beauty before she put on weight and tattoos. She made relatively few films that were non-porn, so that makes this one an oddity and worth a look. Troma should have signed her to a contract and launched a series of horror movies with her. She couldn't act, but it really didn't matter.Also of interest is the most motley bunch of extras ever recruited for a battle scene. It looks like a year's worth of guests on Jerry Springer. I mean, there's something to be said for cinema verite and portraying common folk as being common, but this is barrel scraping. The only thumbs up in the acting come from the ham who played the sheriff. His portrayal as a cop who really is a "pig" was effective.Can't even be enjoyed as Troma material. Would make Roger Corman leave the theater.
