Excellent, a Must See
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
View MoreAll that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
View MoreMy vote of 10 is for the experience being an extra in a movie, id probably rate the movie a 3 or 4. I live right near Santa Cruz where filming took place and my parents, who happened to be in a Roller Coaster club (ACE, aceonline.org) were asked to shoot scenes on the coaster. I was only 12 at the time, so i had to do this supposed "school" while filming and i couldn't shoot the scenes on the coaster as there was not enough time. You see me standing in line 2 or 3 times (the continuity was actually OK) and you see my parents getting off the coaster. The best part didn't even happen to me, but one of the guys in our club, he got to be on the coaster as Mr. Sabato was jumping from one train to the next. I believe he filmed for a week or 2 and maybe a few thousand dollars. I filmed for 2 days and made like 500 bucks or somethin like that.I think you can see me when Mr. Sabato runs up to the station toward the end and it is revealed that the bombed is still alive. "Thats Impossible!" he says. I have a green shirt and long, bushy hair that curls around my neck in the vein of MacGyver.Yep, I'm famous.
View MoreThis is Antonio Sabato Jr's movie! He looks great and gives a nice portrayal of a single father trying to raise a young daughter. Stephanie Kramer is cast as his sister, who owns an amusement park with a roller coaster called "Thrill". When someone threatens to harm the patrons of the park, Sabato Jr steps up to help his sister keep the park safe.This movie is soooooo mid-'90s--it is really cute, Sabato Jr is hot and Stephanie Kramer looks great. Another reviewer remarked about the opening sequence in a negative way. I disagree--that was what had me hooked on the movie to start! Fun movie!
View MorePretty good movie with Antonio Sabato Jr. (nuff said) - Acting is OK. Stephanie Kramer does her usual good job.. (I miss her in Hunter though) -- A nutjob threatens a roller coaster park and Antonio is off to the rescue. This is a made for TV movie for a good reason.. That's where it should stay. If you're an Antonio fan.. Here's a tip: Its on usually late at night on cable. Out of 5 stars, I give it 2 1/2. Get 1/2 bag of popcorn and some soda!
View MoreReading the plot outline may lead you to think that this is something like "Rollercoaster". That it ain´t. This makes even the 1977 Sensurround schlockbuster look like a masterpiece. The actors (mostly fair ones actually) wrestle with a inept if not inane script. Direction, story, photo, music, well everything really screams "low budget"! If the ultracheap MTV-stylewannabe opening sequence doesn´t make you reach for the zapper nothing will.There´s 90 minutes of my life I won´t get back!
