Movie Reviews of Escape 2000
Movie Review: Only ever seen the butchered U.K video. This should be good.
Summary: 5 Stars
Escape 2000 was released on video in the U.K during the early eighties, as Turkey Shoot, with a lurid cover design, and the prospect of some good old ultra violence, with just a dash of the in out in out, to mix things up. Not in the hacked up by the BBFC 18cert version that i first viewed, as a teen. So the chance to, after so many years get an unrated in 1.2.35:1 widescreen dvd is great news to me, just pre-ordered mine.
Plus being Anchor Bay they've managed to get the director to do a commentary plus there are interviews with cast and crew. Has to be worth the price of the hunt.....
Movie Review: like watching a 3.2million dollar troma movie
Summary: 5 Stars
this was absolutelly amazing. I bought this with out knowing what this was or if it was good. The story is amazing the gore is awesome for the time, the acting is amazing, and lots of big explosions. But one of my favorite things is the soundtrack, its filled with lots of electronic synth, helps pull off the futuristic 1995 aspect. this reminds me if lloyd kaufman made a 3 million dollar 70's movie any troma fan would love or peter jackson fan.Movie Review: So bad-it's great !
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish all the Aussie freak movies had this much twisted effort. Beware you may cause yourself damage from repeated viewing. Don't apply anything anybody says to your daily life or suffer bad. I love that Roger Ward.Movie Review: chaos, violence, nihilism, despair, all set to a pulsing synth score
Summary: 4 Stars
A/K/A "Turkey Shoot", I discovered this flick thru the great Aussie exploitation documentary, "Not Quite Hollywood". A great find, the film is a bold, shameless women-in-prison / futuristic-death-chase hybrid with virtually nothing but action. After about (literally) one minute of exposition, we are thrown into the scenario: three attractive young people are hauled into a cruel "re-education" camp, where they can either put up with brutal torture or plan their escape. They do the latter. The last half of the film is set up as a "Most Dangerous Game"-style death hunt. As the actors will tell you in the DVD extras, anything that was not an action sequence was cut from the script before shooting. That makes for a lack of motivation but an overabundance of fistfights, shower nudity, eye-gouging, bloody motor vehicle mayhem, etc. My best out-of-nowhere item in the film is the half-man/half-wolf "pet" one of the hunters owns... no explanation for its condition is given whatsoever! It is just dropped into the story without the bat of an eye. Love it. Made around the same time as "Dawn of the Dead", and with a similar vibe... chaos, violence, nihilism, despair, all set to a pulsing synth score. 4/5.Movie Review: This is a great DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Being the first time that I have seen this on DVD I only had low expectations. What a surprise! This disc is fantastic! You not only get a pristine transfer of the movie,(and a great soundtrack job)but also some of the most entertaining commentary and features yet. What makes this disc special is that instead of congratulating themselves for making a film classic the filmmakers instead offer some hilarious excuses for their wretched film. The funniest of the interviews is with actress Lynda Stoner who slams the endeavor but skirts around the issue of her lousy performance. All in all: Great job again Anchor Bay. The movie is actually a pretty good exploiter so ignore the critics and get ready to have fun.
