Watch Gale Force For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Simply Perfect

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is a good example of a good early 2000 B-Movie. The special effects and the cheap CGI are a prime example of it, but brings the B-movie laugh. However, what saves the film from being a failure are the actors. They are very good, give the best delivery with the material, are self aware of it, and try to have a good time. We have 2 veteran actors out of their typical cast and do excellent jobs. Micheal Dudikoff plays the villain, and Curtis Armstrong plays an intellectual.The pace is very good the movie never bores, and it's the least you ask from a B-movie.I think if the special effects were better the movie would have done better because the cast, pace, and photography was good.

After reading the comments here I was fully expecting a bad film. This gave me the incentive to watch this film as a good cheesy romp can be entertaining. I wasn't let down.I agree with an earlier comment made that obviously people here have taken this film WAY too seriously, judging by their reviews. Think, how many disgruntled, suspended L.A detectives do you know get invited to appear on a T.V reality game show?The first 'controversial' scene with the car chase ripped from Last Action Hero was comical if anything else. It does seem a bit disjointed from the rest of the film but sets up the premise (an over-the-top one) of why our hero is off work and has nothing better to do other than to eat barely-cooked hot-dogs dipped in mustard and appear on Reality TV game show.After that were introduced to the rest of the contestants and the shady game show host. It appears he has plans about pocketing the cool $10 million prize for himself rather than the unwitting contestants. Again, what T.V company would bury $10 million in a treasure chest on a remote island?They get there, have a getting to know period where the dominant characters emerge to lead the two teams to the treasure. Of course Treat is one. They later find out that a team of 'pirates' will hunt them down to prevent them from getting the secret stash.Next day they set off with good intentions but eventually run into a band of men carrying large machine guns, and not paint-ball guns as they were led to believe, and run for their lives. Meanwhile a huge tropical storm is brewing.Basically then it turns into a cat-and-mouse type of affair but the cats aren't very proficient killers. An over-the-top sequence that resembles the nuke scene in Apocalypse Down, just to take down half a dozen straw huts is hilarious. I wouldn't say this was a particularly violent film. Just an implausible one. Like hiding in a beach cave while a huge 50 foot tsunami wave is just outside threatening to destroy the whole island. And what happened to the building at then end.You can't really go into this film expecting a masterpiece, just accept it for what it is, ridiculous, over-the-top hokum and you won't be disappointed. 6/10

This movie is great! I've read all these reviews and they are so wrong. It's a spoof. Watch for the Acme dynamite in the first scene. I mean this isn't some great movie but you should have known that before you rented it. I loved this movie, open a beer sit back and enjoy.

Watch the first 10 minutes of this film and you realize that there are a number of scenes taken from Last Action Hero. I wondered why Treat Williams was dressed the same as Arnold and driving the same car. After watching these and other scenes, one had to wonder how much of this movie was actual new footage and how much had been taken from other movies.Do not rent this movie. It's predictable (perhaps this statement is obvious since some viewers will have seen various segments before). It's a low Grade B movie at best.
