Review of Fireback

Fireback (1983)
1/10
Really bad-and not in a remotely good way (Its not worth your time even if it will make you laugh)

Warning: Spoilers
Richard Harrison stars in one of the worst films I've seen this year.He plays an army weapons expert sent to Viet Nam to show off a new multi barrel gun. The Viet Cong attack and he's taken prisoner. Back home some unknown man makes advances on his wife. Harrison is eventually rescued and goes home to find his wife has gone missing and that he's being set up for a variety of crimes as things get compounded ad he hunts for the reason behind the disappearance of his wife and he breaks heads and other body parts. Even allowing for some of the worst dubbing I've ever seen this is a collection of stupid ideas, bad performances and wildly uneven action scenes. I sat staring at the screen waiting for the next terrible thing to show up. Its horrible, and not really in a good way. I mean sure as a bad film lover I was enjoying myself for a while but after a while things just became too much and I had to struggle to make to the end.In a weird way I was rewarded by making to the very end since the film ends with a freeze frame over which there is a statement as to what ultimately happened to Harrison's character. A loud WTF was followed by hysterical laughter. In no way recommended, even for the laughter factor.
