Movie doesn't even try to be accurate.......2001-05-27

I won't totally tear this movie apart, I realize filmakers take dramatic license to entertain. However, as a crewmember on the C-5 galaxy(the cargo plane depicted in this movie), I was insulted as to how cheesy this movie is. The producers should've consulted someone who actually knows what these planes look and operate like.

On a positive note, it is fairly entertaining. If you were ever in the Air Force you will probably get a laugh about the wild lack of accuracy. The plot is basically a cliche, and the acting is, despite what the other reviews say, second rate. I only recommend this if you are bored and have seen everything else twice.

A good " High Flying" Thiller.......2000-09-25

A good entertaining film about a group of terrorists that hi-jack a military plane carrying experimental stealth aircraft. Jurgen Prochnow puts on an awesome show as the leader of the terrorist group, and an exceptional show from Andrew Divoff as the fighter-jock that saves the day. As people have said before it is a movie that resembles " Die Hard" but I think it can be considered almost like an Air Force One type flick. Anyway,plenty of action keeps the film moving, and the camera shots of the stealth aircraft are pretty good.

better than the average skyjack thrillers.......1999-08-18

I just saw this film less than five minutes ago. I was afraid it would be just another typical direct-to-vid about terrorists hijacking a plane. But I was pleasantly surprised. It's got a lot of action, good performances (after a squeaky, slow-paced first ten minutes), and decent effects. Jurgen Prochnow makes a splendid villain, and it was nice to see Andrew Divoff play a good guy for once. If you like the "one-man-against-a-group-of-terrorists" plot, then check out "Interceptor." Only complaint: there's so much action, the movie's over before you know it.

"We have a guest on board.".......1999-04-19

Terrorists seize a cargo plane carrying two stealth bombers and it's up to Andrew Divoff to stop them. A nicely done "Die Hard" clone ( it's better than Passenger 57 ) and a good reason why Trimark Pictures should branch out of the straight-to-video market. Only complaint; they blow too many holes in the plane.

a big pile of alien doo doo.......2005-05-21

an alien ship lands in a small Mexican town and The Interceptor Force, lead by chisled Oliver Gruner, are sent in to find out what's going on...soon, they lose a team member in the process of arriving and things get a little fishy when the boss, Brad Dourif decides to send a missle to blow up the town and get rid of any evidence. Gruner's team consists of actor Glenn Plummer (Speed 1 and 2, Salton Sea) and actress exPlayboy Playmate Angel Boris (hot but cant act worth crap). Gruner gets in trouble with the Mexican leader and his Mexican Mafia...they run around...they get taking over by the alien force, big fights, alien phaser guns shooting, Gruner running away from big explosion, town go boom and then Gruner get up, he get slapped by woman with purse and then years later they make even more stupid sequels (Interceptor Force 2 and Phantom Force (with 21 Jump Street heartthrob Richard Grieco) with even more stupid actors. Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters 1 and 2), why the hell did you sign up for this? A pile of alein poo

Crappiest film ever seen.......2004-12-20

This has definitely become my very favorite, toppling Deep Blue Sea from the top of my list of raspberry films. It is not only that the plot is anything but plausible - the acting is awful and the punch lines are out of line. Unlike other sci-fi spoofs, this movie has very few jokes that make it worth viewing.

Only the extras among the cast playing Mexicans look like such - and they don't speak a word in the whole movie.

**** SPOILERS AHEAD ****

In fact, the 'Mexican' girl admits to come from Sacramento at the end of the film, right before she chases Gruner across the desert. This scene and the effects of the atomic explosion make you laugh in desperation after 50 minutes of boring, pointless action.

After seeing this film, I still wonder who had been serving the drops (and why) to Gruner during the fight in the saloon, and if this was supposed to be a prank at all. I can understand the director's acknowledging his father's enduring patience in the credits.

Summarizing: If you have more than average sense of humor and mercy AND your friends are joining in, rent this film. You will enjoy ranting on about it.

Great FX but.............2000-07-20

There are some great set pieces in this film that make it worth seeing if you're into special effects. The first is a great dogfight between stealth bombers and an alien spaceship. Then there are the shoot outs with the alien and a nuclear explosion. The film is basically about a team who defend Earth against an alien species. Olivier Gruner leads the team and the excellent Brad Dourif is their commander. The problem with the film is that the action comes at the start and end of the film. The middle 40-50 minutes drag terribly making it an effort to watch in one sitting. The dialogue ranges from OK to pretty lame, as does the acting. Still, Dourif and Gruner are always watchable and Gruner has a great stunt at the start. It's a shame, but not a complete waste of time thanks to the effects.

Product Description

Just in from Rare Aviation, this DVD covers life on 51st Fighter Wing at Suwon in Korea during April and May of 1952. It runs over an hour. The DVD is split into fifteen distinct sections, and begins on 16 April 1952 with a short film on dust control, with troops digging and planting trees outside what appears to be the base chapel. Like most excerpts, there is no sound, but unobtrusive background music accompanies each film. Next up, taken on the same day, we see General Stearley arriving at Suwon in a B-17 to be greeted by Col. Francis Gabreski, the base - and 51st FW - commander. This film is introduced with two scrolling biographies of both Stearley and Gabreski - a nice inclusion and one that can be easily read as the 'scrolling' is not too fast. Short clips of the Mess Hall, Weather Station (30th Weather Sqn) and Motor Pool (51st Motor Vehicle Sqn) follow, all acompanied by restrained backing music. For many, the highlight of this DVD will be the Sabre footage, and there is plenty of it. First you get an 'On the Ramp' section from 30 April 1952, and there are an abundance of Sabres on view, and even the following '51st Air Police Sqn, May 1, 1952' section has plenty of Sabre action too; I particularly liked the landing views of the aircraft, which are quite unusual to see, and also give a good idea of the terrain surrounding the base. From start to finish this really DVD packs the action in; it's refreshing to see the 'behind the scenes' action included, so the unsung ground personnel also get their five minutes of fame. The film is that much better for it. Whether you were actually there, knew someone who was there, or are just a Sabre nut, this DVD is well worth getting.
