Simply A Masterpiece

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Crapendary! Early PM action movie that is so trademark eighties it's almost like a sequence from the Regular Show. Crappy hair-metal soundtrack! Crappy neon lighting! Really crappy acting! Lovable ridiculous story that scratches your bad movie itch. This cost me sixteen pence!Two cops are out to track down some burly bondage guy who's all into smacking hookers about until they can't hook no more for a while. This guy gets this other guy to hook him up, and lo and behold the two of them are embroiled in some shady drugs operation in Mexico too that has little to do with what goes on in the film until the big showdown with the modified kick-arse jeep! Flamethrower-iffic!Either Ian or Max (I can't remember who was who, or even if that was their names) has a sister who is on the game and therefore she's the one the big bondage guy goes too far with (for some reason he adopts a German accent when doing so, even though he's not German…go figure). So Ian or Max are out to get this guy, or the other guy, and get the other guy who gets off the hook by the other other bondage guy, who it turns out is a high flying lawyer. Yep.Crestfallen, the two cops take out their frustrations by shooting a guy about a million times. I almost forgot to mention the internal affairs guy who is out to get them sacked. More brain-damaging stuff happens (like one of them becoming a bounty hunter) before the big explosion packed finale, and awesome freeze frame ending that doth tickle me so.This ain't wall to wall insane hilarity, but bad movie fans should get a kick out of this. Shotgun! Shotgun Jones!

*****contains spoilers*****Well what can i say, this film is sheer genius, if there was a king of films then this would be the king and the archbishop all at the same time. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who received this from another friend last Christmas as a present, he told me about it and my life has never been the same since. Thankfully we have a Poundland in our town, which is sweet because Poundland is amazing, i brought a dog in there last week in their half price sale.I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart, Shotgun is awesome. My whole life is based around the teachings of Stuart Chapin as Ian Jones AKA The King of Life, as soon as i reach puberty i'm going to grow a beard and get long hair, then dye it ginger, then i'll be the king and get lots of hot babes like Rhonda and Babara. Rif Hutton as Jones loyal sidekick Max Billings is sweet too, its such a shame to see such a legend only be in one film. The scene between Riley Simms the evil IAD detective and Jones & Billings is euphoric.Now we get to my favourite character, Fletcher Rivington AKA The Gimp. This guy is the worst kind of filth, hes been into drugs and prostitution since law school, "its how he paid his f*****g tuition fees". He prefers lips to hips too However Jones washes him away with 12 gauge justice in the best showdown ever, even better than the Empire Strikes back!Needless to say i only have 1000 words so i better stop now, i could talk forever on this film though. This film is the sweetest film ever and if you haven't seen it yet, shame on you. I suggest buying it now, don't go to work tomorrow, spend the day getting this sweet film, believe me you won't be disappointed.LATERS BROTHERS

This one has every tired cop flick cliche imagined -- the partner loved like a brother, the hooker sister who ends up killed by a mask-wearing trick, other street walkers who all look like expensive call-girls and do their stuff to "Gee, is this a porno?" background music, the police command that's always making life difficult for the put-upon, hard-drinking partners (one Black, one White; one married, one single; blah blah blah).For me, the highpoints of these films are those scenes in the Police Chief's office. You know the drill: "I'm watching you, G_dammit! One more dead suspect and you'll be walking a beat in the worst part of town I can find. You're OFF this case, capisce?!" In this regard, "Shotgun" did not disappoint. It kept me happy, too, with the camera work, acting, transitions, plot tricks and, especially, that God-awful heavy metal guitar soundtrack. The only thing missing was one of those moments where the hero cop splashes his face with cold water and stares intensely at himself in the mirror before the cutaway to the next head-bashing scene. But for that, it would be a perfect 10 in that parallel movie universe one enters through the bottom of a bottle of booze.Summary: -10 stars in this Universe. Watch it late at night with an equally drunk friend and enjoy.

No, no...I'm kidding. I was lucky to catch this movie at 3 'o clock in the morning while channel surfing with some friends. It was hands down the worst movie we ever saw. It was so bad, we almost died laughing. Sooo bad, I even bought it. You have not lived until you have seen this movie. It even has that guy from the Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials co-starring in it. You know, the black guy with the mustache. I was just waiting for him to pop out a bucket of fried chicken...Too bad he got ran over by some car that seemed to have nothing to do with the movie. Because this movie is such a crime to humanity, I gave it a 10 out of 10. It deserves no less. I do not know why I am typing this, no one is ever going to read it, but oh well. Good night, and God bless the poor b*****d from Kentucky Fried Chicken.
