Inferno (1999)

With Van Damme's trademark Inferno/Desert Heat is about a tired man (Van Damme) who looking for a old war mate (Danny Trejo) to ask permission to take his life...but before he meets with a gang who steal your old motorcycle and shooting him leaving to die in desert....your old friend a native Indian take him to your home and healing his mortal wounds...after a short recover he goes to the revenge. Watchable movie including the fine casting like Larry Drake,Danny Trejo and Pat Morita, without forget Gabrielle Fitzpatrick among others actress,in time the three old men steal the movie mainly Bill Erwin on a remarkable role of men he needs oxygen and still smoking,no connection with Yojimbo in my opinion the story is totally different and just remembered in the movie by bus driver to meeting a girl...if the producers want some connection they just wants publicity...nothing more than this!!!

Not much ass kicking in this one - very little in fact. But, on the plus side, everything JCVD shoots with a gun explodes (motorcycles, barrels, etc.). There's a few building explosions in there too which is pretty sweet. The scenery is nice - filmed in the Mojave desert in Cali. Would love to check that out.Also, there are a few great tit shots (why doesn't every movie have 'em?), a respectful nod to the 80s when they were mandatory. Young Jamie Pressly looks hot. Damn. Pat Morita's accent is hilarious, and the old man from the Seinfeld episode is in this movie too (the one that has the old records that Kramer and Neuman take). So bad it's good. jacobnunnally.blogspot.com

this van damme action flick is a decent enough, but its quite light on action until the end, and even then its quick and not really exiting, but never the less its enjoyable enough, and even offers up a few laughs, not all intentional, there are a couple of good fights, but not many, and not too long, there short and snappy, there is a supporting role from danny trejo and im still not sure why hes there he just is, i enjoyed this movie, it was far from boring, but it wasn't one of his best not even close, but it remains a decent action flick none the less, and i recommend to van damme fans, as they may wanna check this out

Anyway, you shouldn't compare this movie to either of the above. Although I haven't seen Yojimbo (pronounced Yo-Jimbo by one of the characters), but I'm sure it won't be fair to all of them.This movie is an action movie, with Van Damme as the good guy, but it's not very serious. Sure, there are explosions and guns and kicks and a completely unnecessary sex scene and all that, but it seems like there are quite a lot comic relief moments and characters. Pat Morita and Bill Erwin reminded me of Statler and Waldorf from The Muppets, for one.Van Damme plays an American, which meant that he talked very little and tried to talk in a raspy voice to disguise his accent. And you know what? It worked. The only thing that I couldn't let go is because I expected to hear his unique accent.This movie is 95 minutes well spent. Don't go out of your way looking for it, but you don't have to avoid it either.
