P.U.N.K.S (1999)

When i saw the trailer for this movie i thought it looked like such a stupid film. But after seeing it i was totally suprised by the result. It may not make much sense but it was very enjoyable just like movies should be. I mean it had pretty bad acting and a pretty bad story but atleast you don't leave the movie thinking that you just wasted two hours of your life. So if you want to see a funny enjoyable movie, with the young but still hott jessica alba, johnny tsunami, and that kid from the big green, then here's a good one for you. This movie is not bad and it will suprise you if you think it is. And don't expect to be confused at any point in the movie...

What do you get when you mix Rambo, James Bond and pre-teens? "P.U.N.K.S.": one of the worst films I have ever seen. Unlike some films, "P.U.N.K.S." isn't even "So bad it's good." It's just plain awful. Despite Randy Quaid, this film still sinks to the depths. Take one scene for example: these kids manage to get into this "top secret" building by taking a young Jessica Alba, who went on to star in TV's "Dark Angel," (with this film, I'm surprised she got a role in a commercial) pushing a ball in her shirt and making the guards in the building think she's pregnant. A 12 year old. Right. Anyway, she stands outside the building at midnight, going "Oh, my, my baby!" And of course, the guards, being the "stupid adults" they are, rush out to her with dumb looks on their faces, as these other kids enter the building and start shooting rubber darts at "hi-tech" cameras mounted on walls. We see a POV from the camera -- the kids leap in front of the cameras like an action star, and shoot the darts with nerf guns. Good Lord Almighty! There are many things like this, including a scene at a golf course where these "Men in Black" FBI guys start chasing these kids, who are dressed in leather shirts and pants. And of course, they have sunglasses, too. So the kids manage to outsmart these FBI agents -- at a golf course -- by doing insane things that would make a two year old blush. Don't see "P.U.N.K.S." I strongly urge you stay clear of it. It isn't even funny. 1/5 stars-John Ulmer

This movie was so stupid but so fun. We couldn't stop laughing at the theme song "We are the Punks". That fat kid from the Sandlot should of been Golden Globe nominated. When he got that super strength in the bar it was so cool. The Fanz gives an OK performance, but i think he might of been miscast. Randy Quaid does his normal good job. Kids will love this movie. IT teaches kids about friendship, and how to ride a bike on the freeway. Look for Jessica Alba before she made it big. Overall B-.

For anyone who has ever seen "The Secret World of Alex Mack" on Nickelodeon, Louan Gideon played the evil CEO of a chemical plant. She's back, and she's playing 2nd-in-command of a corrupt technological research lab. John Nielsen, also from the above show, returns. The movie stars Henry Winkler as the notorious Mr. Crow, who has designed a machine which enhances the immune system and gives its wearer incredible strength. Enter Drew (Tim Redwine), whose father is a scientist at CROW Research.Drew's father believes that the machine is to help people overcome their physical disabilities, but Mr. Crow actually intends to sell it to foreign nations as a machine for the "ultimate soldier." As well, the machine fries anyone's immune system if worn for more than 20 minutes! Well, Mr. Crow and his assistant Ms. Grimes don't care, and they intend to have Drew's dad wear it -- but he has a heart disease, and it would kill him in 5 minutes flat.Needless to say, Drew bands together with some less-than-popular friends, intention being to break into CROW and steal the augmentor. Crow wants them destroyed at any cost, though . . . even with all their wits, can the P.U.N.K.S. (their group name) stop the diabolical plot?
