But when the cops stop them on the way, J.J. confesses that his hot new wheels are real hot, and he's not goin' down without afight! Facing his third strike and a 25-year sentence, Rob flees on foottoo bad he gets caught on videotape!

5 out of 5 stars Hilarious.......2007-04-01

I don't know why people criticize this movie alot. I guess they probably don'tunderstand the movie.It's a comedy which pokes at the LAPD and it's really funny for a low budget movie...

1 out of 5 stars 3 Strikes Indeed!!!.......2006-10-16

1 Strike for uneven direction.

2 Strikes for stupid acting.

3 Strikes for a horrible screenplay.

This (VERY UNFUNNY) movie is a complete waste of time, money and energy. Avoid!! Avoid!! Avoid!!

1 out of 5 stars 3 Strikes = An OUT and OUT BOMB That should never have been made........2005-12-14


A lame thredbare tired uninspired story of a two time loser picked up from jail by his low life friends. In the car a gentleman shoots at law enforcement officers. Now the two time loser is a wanted man with a third strike looming large in his life when he was a victim of circumstance. YET ANOTHER Insulting racist stupid trite base humorED DVD movie with absolutely no redeeming value whatsoever. If you liked this ghetto comedy flick which I did not you will likely enjoy another DVD of this same ilk called HOW HIGH! another DVD ghetto movie that is just as bad as 3 strikes just the same basic garbage with a different name. Nothing new here.

Oh and for those who say I did not see this mess because, I do not detail how horrible it is. I saw 3 Strikes on a satalite TV channel during my vacation. I am just so happy I did not actually rent or buy this ripe stinker 3 Strikes DVD Movie.

1 out of 5 stars Deserves Life in the bargain bin with no chance of purchase.......2005-03-29

3 Strikes...this puerile comedy about a two-time felon trying to avoid a life sentence was DOA from the opening frame. A screenplay full of stock characters and stock South Central jokes make a poor commentary on the California Justice System. In my three attempts to watch this movie all the way through I wound up turning it off around the thirty-minute mark each time.
To make a story like this work, you have to feel for the main character. Unfortunately he has no good qualities. He makes no efforts to do anything worthwhile. Getting out of jail, he goes back to doing the same things that got him locked up. In his attempts to clear himself he spends most of the movie doing a bunch of unfunny things that are supposed to be funny. I just can't laugh at car chases and shootouts in the inner city when so many young men and women die this way in real life. I can't laugh about a man throwing his life away going in and out of the prison system. To me, that's not a comedy. It's a tragedy. And the attempt to make this situation into comedy produces a movie bad it's criminal. It deserves life in the $5.99 Discount DVD bin right next to Ghost Dad and Nora's Hair Salon with no possibility of purchase.

2 out of 5 stars YOUR AVERAGE GHETTO COMEDY MOVIE.......2004-05-01

A CONVICT [BRIAN HOOKS] IS RELEASED FROM PRISON. HOWEVER, HE'S BEEN PLACED UNDER THE THREE STRIKES RULE AND HE'S ALREADY WENT TO JAIL TWICE! WHEN HE'S PICKED UP BY HIS HOMEBOY, HIS HOMEBOY GETS INTO A SHOOTOUT WITH THE COPS AND NOW THE COPS ARE ALSO AFTER HIM AGAIN! UNFORTUNATELY FOR THIS MOVIE, THE FUNNY MOMENTS TEND TO BE SCARCE. BRIAN HOOKS IS OK, BUT THIS MOVIE COULD'VE USED FUNNIER CHARACTERS AS WELL AS A BETTER SCRIPT. LOOK AT ''FRIDAY'' INSTEAD.

it's back to junior high for me. But this time you'll learn that class can end at any moment - when the bomb drops.
Educational titles on the DVD includes:
Living With the Atom (26 min)
Radioactive Fallout and Shelter (28 min)
The Atom Strikes (31 min)
Fallout: When and How to Protect Yourself (15 min)
The Atom Goes to Sea (11 min)

wasn't life more simple back when this was our only fear? The quality of the shorts vary since they're lifted from prints that you might have seen in your health class all those years ago.

5 out of 5 stars Some of the BEST you could ever learn from!.......2007-04-07

These DVDs {Videos} on Jim Grover's Combatives are BY FAR some of the best instructional self-offense videos you can get. PERIOD!!! Of course you'll have to put in some hard work and training but really not much. This is Hard-Core in your face stuff. I KNOW YOU MAY COME ACROSS A LOT OF ADDS OUT THERE SAYING SOME OF THE SAME STUFF ABOUT OTHER VIDEOS THAT I'M SAYING HERE -- BUT TRUST ME I'VE SEEN MOST OF THEM OUT THERE. AND THEY ALL FALL SHORT. I consider this one of my holy grails of fighting. For real. I am not a big guy but I do feel confident in my skill to defense myself thanks to what I've learned here.
Jim Grover is a Amazing man and teach. And even though these will teach a great deal I MUST recommend getting his Self-Offense video as well. In fact I think I would put that one head of this if you've already had some good training in combative arts. Self-Offense offers a chance to see Jim beating on a few bigger guys hard and fast PLUS some cool techniques to us if you are going against a Bigger, Stronger, MORE SKILLED FIGHTER.
KELLY MCCANN {AKA JIM GROVER} IS THE BEST!
