Carl Reiner tried to give the Mel Brooks treatment to the Fatal Attraction/Basic Instinct genre of films about vicious, conniving women and the not-so-bright men who get involved with them. In this case, it's Armand Assante, an actor not particularly known for his comedic chops. He plays a guy who is both a police detective and a defense attorney, so he can defend the people he arrests. He becomes the target of a female stalker (Sean Young, in a bit of typecasting), as well as the dupe in a murder plot involving his wife (Kate Nelligan). Reiner takes a scattershot approach to comedy, hoping to play in the same ballpark as the Zucker brothers or Brooks. While he hits a few singles and the occasional double, he never knocks a joke out of the park and so the movie winds up with an awful lot of pop fouls. --Marshall Fine

SUPER FUNNY PARODY!!.......2007-07-03

A very, very funny laugh-out-loud spoof in the "Leslie Nielsen" tradition. Armand Assante is really amusing and makes ridiculous scenes work terrifically. Highly recommended if you just want to be entertained with no intellectual thought.

Funny Movie.......2007-03-13

It is a movie that is a take off from the real McCoy movies. It is goofy but a fun movie...especially if you know the movies they are doing the take off from. It will make you laugh. A good escape!

Fatal Instinct.......2007-01-10

Oh what a glorious spoof! For the movie buff, spotting the homages to a plethora of films;for the lover of comedy a delicious black thriller.Superb performances, great sets, wonderful costumes and a non-stop pace. Ace movie!

5 stars for FUN....0 stars for format on DVD!!!.......2006-05-08

Okay...
what is wrong with this picture? a movie on DVD (FULLSCREEN?) edition...well it happens..but this isn't a cheap knockoff...they have legendary Carl Reiner doing a commentary (he was the director) ...and to add insult to injury....several deleted scenes..PRESENTED in the proper 1:85 widescreen aspect ratio!!!

would it have killed them to issue in the proper ascpect ratio? Its still a very fun/inexpensive purchase, and the bonus features are strong for such a non-hit movie....just wondering WHY no widescreen?

enjoy!

FATALLY FUNNY.......2006-03-26

Carl Reiner's FATAL INSTINCT is a surprisingly funny spoof of movies like FATAL ATTRACTION, BASIC INSTINCT, AND CHINATOWN. It benefits from a lot of AIRPLANE like sight gags and some wonderful one liners tossed off by its unusual cast. Armand Assante, not known for comedic roles, is very funny as the cop/lawyer embroiled in with a beautiful stalker (Sean Young in a sexy performance), and a greedy wife (the usually dramatic Kate Nelligan just perfect in this role) and her dumb lover (Christopher McDonald) who plan to bump him off. Add a vindictive ex-con (James Remar), a devoted secretary (Sherilyn Fenn) and Judge Tony Randall and you have the ingredients for a rather hilarious send up. I laughed a lot and I think you will too!

This film is not one of Leslie Cheung's !.......2007-04-04

This is not a Leslie Cheung film, I wonder why it's listed under Leslie Cheung's. Although the name is the same as Leslie cheung's film "Fatal Love" in English, it confused people, since the introduction of the film said, starred by Leslie Cheung and Cherie Chung, it's a big mistake !
I'm afraid I cannot rate this one, cos' I don't have any idea about this film, I'm only familiar with the film "Fatal Love" starred by Leslie Cheung and Cherie Chung, definitely NOT this one !!!
Seemed that I was unable to post this review if I don't give any rate to this film, therefore I reluctantly rate it as "1 star", I definitely don't want to give any rating to it, NOT EVEN ONE !!!

There are two HK films with this title. I'm reviewing the version starring Michael Wong and Ellen Chan. Wong plays a businessman and murder suspect. Lovely Ellen Chan is the undercover cop out to nail him for a string of murders. She forgets her duty and falls in love with him. Lots of sexual content, frontal nudity and violence. I liked the story and the ending. I could have done without much of the violence and frontal nudity. Wong has generally played handsome good guy roles and I had trouble watching his performance as a psychopath. He was very believeable and frightening.

Sweet, smart, subversive, sexy.......2002-03-11

This film should be associated with the New German Cinema, as a late entry in that "genre," if you could call it a genre, before it dissipated. It shares a lot of concerns typical of said body of films, like the voyage to America in search of parentage and identity, which echoes films like Wenders' ALICE IN THE CITIES, say. It also is very self-conscious of its relationship to moviemaking itself, and borrows a Wizard-of-Oz motif, as I recall it, with out heroine being named Dorothy and San Fransisco being presented as a sort of gay Oz. Unlike most new German cinema, though, THE VIRGIN MACHINE was directed by a woman, Monika Treut, and is self-consciously (post-)feministic. The protagonist is female and its her mother she's looking for (as I recall) in coming to San Fransisco. She's also looking for a "cure for romantic love." The early half of the film shows both the attractive/repulsive aspects of relationships with men; the middle portion of the movie has her being shown entirely new ways of looking at sex on her trip to America, with the help of now-famous-erotica-editor Susie Bright (sporting a substantial dildo collection, which she describes in considerable detail). (The actress playing Dorothy is great at wide-eyed naive fascination with the episodes she encounters. I think she's Lottie Huber, the lead from ANITA, DANCES OF VICE, but I could be wrong). There is a hilarious lesbian strip bar sequence where the female dancer spoofs male sexuality in a way any man watching will also be able to get a kick out of. Dorothy meets one particular woman who promises to cure her forever of romantic love, whom, of course, she falls quickly for... Treut's feminism has always been pro-porn, pro-erotica, pro-sexual-playfulness, and she's also made films with Annie Sprinkle and interviewed Camille Paglia; the film ISN'T properly speaking erotica, however. It does HAVE its erotic aspects but I think viewers interested in feminism, sexual identity, German cinema, and so forth will find it more rewarding than viewers wanting to be turned on, be they male or female. Remember as you watch it that it was made in the 1980s, pre-Madonna, so to speak, so that its stance towards porn and sex and so forth was kind of refreshing, new, and controversial at the time; mainstream feminism then was still focused largely on the exploitation of women and tinged with anti-porn, even anti-sex, sentiments. Also note: though I think the black and white, independent-film aesthetic is quite pleasing to watch, this is NOT a big-budget, slick film with high production values. Don't expect anything of Hollywood here.

THE COVER IS THE BEST PART OF THIS VIDEO.......1999-07-03

The beginning leads you to believe she has had a relationship with a fat man and her half brother. Once she leaves Germany, in a feable search for her mother and love, the movie begins to gain the viewers interest. In San Francisco she hits the lesbian scene and is introduced to her first lesbian strip show....that in itself was amusing at best.Long story short, I am not sure what the actual point of this movie was.

Description

There's never been a Carmen like this one - there's never been a Don Jose like Baryshnikov! Ballet superstars Mikhail Baryshnikov and Zizi Jeanmaire sizzle in this erotically charged ballet set to the music and story of Carmen. The program's highlight is a sexy duet between the show's stars, in which they express their fatal attraction. Famed choreographer Roland Petit created this dance spectacular, set to Georges Bizet's classic music. This remarkable ballet provides Baryshnikov with one of his greatest roles, and proves yet again he is the most charismatic performer of our time!

Customer Reviews:

Anything with Baryshnikov.......2007-02-25

I consider Barishnikov the greatest male dancer of our time and there is unfortunately very little by him available so I will get anything with his name on it. This is from his early days in the US but he is marvellous - graceful and masculine at the same time. Zizi Jeanmarie is also marvellous, I cannot fathom how old she was but since I saw her in movies in the 50sh she must have moved on a bit. And the work of Roland Petit, although perhaps slightly dated, is still innovative and breathtaking.

Another great ballet........2006-11-11

I just love this DVD and Baryshnikov, he is just beautiful. Carmen is such a moving ballet it is just wonderful. Also this beautiful little Zizi Jeanmarie, what a wonderful dancer. She is just great to watch. Many thanks for such great entertainment. Patricia (Aussie)

Carmen Fails.......2006-07-18

Any resemblance between this production and Bizet's opera is purely accidental and not intentional. Baryshnikov, as always, is fantastic but Zizi Jeanmarie is a smiling flirty chick who just can't carry off the character. In addition, the story is not conveyed as essential elements of the story are conspicuously absent to anyone who has seen the opera. All in all, I which I had never spent my money on it.

Of little interest..........2006-07-02

While any ballet featuring Mikhail might be reason enough to watch it, this work might be the exception. Very little of the choreography is appealing and the sets are very bland. This is the drabest Spain I've seen pictured in a good while. Mikhail acquits himself nicely, but sadly Zizi does not. While perhaps an expressive and talented dancer in her heyday, here she appears to be afraid of injury and never really stretches herself. You can see the concentration on her face as she prepares for simple back attitudes. She has an adequate port-de-bras, but her shoulders, so pivotal to Spanish dance, barely twitch when they should shimmy. Carmen was a vivacious gypsy, but Zizi gives us a merely brittle, hesitant gamine with a toothy smile. She is acting like hell, but it is not enough to cover her flaws.

Poor Teaming Because of Age Disparity.......2003-02-25

Carmen is a great ballet with the talented Roland Petite as choreographer. I first watched ZiZi dance it in The Black Tights when I was a teenager. I thought she was fabulous then -- sexy, sultry and seductive.Her technique was flawless. Now decades later, when I watched her again dancing with Baryshnikov, I couldn't help sighing sentimentally,' Ah, the cruelty of passing time!' Faded is her beauty,gone is her vibrancy and allure, missing is some of the difficult and fancy footwork which makes the ballet so pleasing and exciting. Why did they put her opposite the golden Adonis? The age disparity is made more obvious. There is a lack of spark or passion between them. It is unconvincing that he is madly in love with her.It makes sense that The Paris Opera Ballet makes 40 the mandatory retirement age for their ballerinas since more or less they will lose their stamina. If you had watched the video 'Ballerina: Karen Kain 'in which are excepts from Carmen, you would understand what I mean and would not think of me as being harsh and unfair. There are so many productions of Swan Lake, Giselle, Don Quixote ...etc in Video and DVD. Why is there only one Carmen? I really look forward to seeing more.
