daniel-mannouch Review of Red Scorpion

Red Scorpion (1988)

South African right wing think tanks and Little Richard combine to make the gold standard in "so bad it's good" 80's action cinema

[7/10 · 9 August 2020]

Standard 80's action, elevated oh so much with a wicked sense of fun and by waving the flag of freedom so hard it splinters onto the screen with comic book commies which in turn splinter into little tiny pieces by way of that god like double barrel rifle Lundgren wields in the climax.

Brilliant film, leaves you giddy for a hamburger and the right to swear or bribe senators wherever you damn well please!
