"Let's do the hustle!".......2006-07-20
this is by far the greatest superstar death rocker doing his final concert in flight which then gets highjacked by satanic terrorists so they can crash slade craven and the plain into stull kansas in front of 10 thousand viewers to kill the false prophet and release the devil into the world only to be stopped by said superstar death rocker and his paisley clad computer hacker chum and safley land the plain in heavy turbulence so the world can be saved and the nerd can get the girl movie EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do whatever you have to do to see this movie. steal money from your moms purse, mug an old lady, steal candy from a thousand babies, whatever it takes! i promise that you won't be disapointed!
I'll Take This "B" Movie Over A Coma Anyday.......2005-09-19
I've seen hundreds of Sci Fi/Horror movies over the years. This is one of those you'll wonder whether you've watched it or not a few years down the road. You just can't remember.
All in all, I figure it's still better to watch a so-so Sci Fi/Horror movie than "Dances With Wolves" or "Evita". This movie will end up being non-memorable, but it's preferable to being in a coma.
Worst concert ever!!!.......2004-12-28
Slade Craven was definitely not on his game for his farewell concert. One of his strong points has always been his "stick-to-itivism" and single-minded, determined work ethics.
Imagine my chagrin as he walked off after a half hearted attempt at one song (albeit a great, great §?¢^in' tune!).
All that aside, Slade's gumption really ended up coming through in saving many lives by safely landing a very complex aircraft and averted an evil metaphysical event in Kansas.
Slade dropped off the radar(no pun intended) after this heroic feat, and I have heard rumors from fellow Slade fans that he has changed his appearance so that he looks more like his high school yearbook photo, and is now persuing the "sensitive singer/songwriter" school of music.
Any leads, anyone?
HEAVY METAL MADNESS.......2004-11-29
Casting Craig Sheffer in this third Turbulence movie is a little strange, considering he also starred in the second. What's strange is that in this one he's playing an entirely different character, and it makes me wonder why they used this mediocre performer in two movies?
Anyway, in TURBULENCE 3, we get the highly improbable scenario of a Goth rocker fashioned after Marilyn Manson who is going to stage his farewell concert on board a 747. Somehow, defying all logic, they've "redesigned" the plane to include this huge amphitheatre for the concert. The music is typical heavy metal, heavily laced with violent lyrics, and Satanic undertones. So it's not so unusual when a Satanic cult leader switches places with Slade Craven, the international rock star, and plans on hijacking the plane to Kansas (?) which is supposed to be the most evil place on earth (tell that to Dorothy and the Oz boys). This is pretty far-fetched stuff folks.
Anyway, the requisite nonsense happens with computer hacker Sheffer and FBI agent Gabrielle Anwar helping someone fly the plane after the captain is killed and copilot Rutger Hauer offs himself. (Don't want to spoil why Hauer harikaris or who the pilot is).
There is also a pretty good twist in the identity of one of the cult members on board.
For grade B entertainment, this movie will deliver and it does have a very effective performance by John Mann as the crazed Craven.
After viewing these three turbulent movies, my fear of flying has worsened. Terra firma!
Believe it or not..........2004-07-28
Believe it or not, this is actually not that bad of a film. Now, that shouldn't be taken to mean that this is a particularly good film, either but as far as implausible B-movies taking place on hijacked airplanes without pilots go, Turbulence 3 is definitely one of the better examples of the genre.
Basically, the film deals with Slade Craven, a "goth" rock star that is obviously meant to conjure up memories of Marilyn Manson. Bizarrely enough, the two songs that Craven actually performs in the film are actually fairly good. Like a lot of things in this film, the songs are actually something that the producers could have easily blown off but instead, for whatever reason, they actually went to the effort necessary to keep things at least occasionally entertaining. Anyway, for some reason, Craven's latest concert is going to be a pay-per-view extravaganza held inside a 747 flying to Canada. Of course, the idea of holding a concert in an airplane while the airplane is actually in flight is nothing short of ludicrous. Of course, it's no more ludicrous than Rutger Hauer, of all people, popping up as the plane's copilot without raising anyone's suspicions. The filmmakers to their credit, don't waste any time trying to justify this insanity but instead they cheerfully embrace the silliness of it all and roll with it.
In quick order, the flight ends up getting hijacked by your typical group of demented Satanists. While the plane's helpless passengers -- a nice combination of decadent goths, confused stewardesses, and bandmates who wouldn't be out of place in a shock rock sequel to Almost Famous -- fight for their lives, a ground-based computer hacker (Craig Sheffer) works with a tightly wound yet secretly frisky FBI agent (Gabrielle Anwar) to thwart the hijacker's sinister plans. (Those plans never quite make sense but, by this point, we've already been forced to accept the sight of a concert being held in a 747 and it's already too late to quibble about plausibility.)
Strangely enough, this all works in it's nicely demented way. This is a fun film and, if for nothing else, it deserves credit for not insulting the viewer's intelligence by trying to be anything other than an entertaining action-comedy. The script is full of a few pithy one-liners that serve almost to satirize all the awful "comic" relief that audiences have been subjected to in every big-budget action film produced since the late '80s. As well, the film's actors all seem to be having fun and it comes across to the viewer. Special notice should be given to Joe Mantegna, who seems to be chanelling none other than Airplane's glue-sniffing Lloyd Bridges, as a by-the-book FBI agent, Hauer, Anwar, and, surprisingly, Craig Sheffer who, for once, manages to turn in a performance as something else than the most boring human being alive. The film's strongest peformance comes from an unknown by the name of John Mann who manages to make Slade Craven into an actual, almost compelling human being as opposed to a cardboard cut-out of Marilyn Manson.
Turbulence 3 is the type of time waster that gives wasting time a good name.

Believe it or not, this is actually not that bad of a film. Now, that shouldn't be taken to mean that this is a particularly good film, either but as far as implausible B-movies taking place on hijacked airplanes without pilots go, Turbulence 3 is definitely one of the better examples of the genre.
Basically, the film deals with Slade Craven, a "goth" rock star that is obviously meant to conjure up memories of Marilyn Manson. Bizarrely enough, the two songs that Craven actually performs in the film are actually fairly good. Like a lot of things in this film, the songs are actually something that the producers could have easily blown off but instead, for whatever reason, they actually went to the effort necessary to keep things at least occasionally entertaining. Anyway, for some reason, Craven's latest concert is going to be a pay-per-view extravaganza held inside a 747 flying to Canada. Of course, the idea of holding a concert in an airplane while the airplane is actually in flight is nothing short of ludicrous. Of course, it's no more ludicrous than Rutger Hauer, of all people, popping up as the plane's copilot without raising anyone's suspicions. The filmmakers to their credit, don't waste any time trying to justify this insanity but instead they cheerfully embrace the silliness of it all and roll with it.
In quick order, the flight ends up getting hijacked by your typical group of demented Satanists. While the plane's helpless passengers -- a nice combination of decadent goths, confused stewardesses, and bandmates who wouldn't be out of place in a shock rock sequel to Almost Famous -- fight for their lives, a ground-based computer hacker (Craig Sheffer) works with a tightly wound yet secretly frisky FBI agent (Gabrielle Anwar) to thwart the hijacker's sinister plans. (Those plans never quite make sense but, by this point, we've already been forced to accept the sight of a concert being held in a 747 and it's already too late to quibble about plausibility.)
Strangely enough, this all works in it's nicely demented way. This is a fun film and, if for nothing else, it deserves credit for not insulting the viewer's intelligence by trying to be anything other than an entertaining action-comedy. The script is full of a few pithy one-liners that serve almost to satirize all the awful "comic" relief that audiences have been subjected to in every big-budget action film produced since the late '80s. As well, the film's actors all seem to be having fun and it comes across to the viewer. Special notice should be given to Joe Mantegna, who seems to be chanelling none other than Airplane's glue-sniffing Lloyd Bridges, as a by-the-book FBI agent, Hauer, Anwar, and, surprisingly, Craig Sheffer who, for once, manages to turn in a performance as something else than the most boring human being alive. The film's strongest peformance comes from an unknown by the name of John Mann who manages to make Slade Craven into an actual, almost compelling human being as opposed to a cardboard cut-out of Marilyn Manson.
Turbulence 3 is the type of time waster that gives wasting time a good name.
