Navy SEALS

Buy posters from this movie

by Chris Parry

"No rhyme, no reason, just a waving flag and dead arabs."

Ohmigod. Bad. Ohmigod. Bad. Ohmigod. Bad.

And what's worse, it left the film world two glaringly awful, hideous legacies.

It made Charlie Sheen think he could do "action hero" and gave the writer, Chuck Pfarrer, a career that spawned Dark Man, The Jackal and Barb Wire.

I encourage all with an evil streak to rent this film, put some tape over the "write protect" notch on the side of the cassette, then proceed to record an episode of The Nanny right over the ending.

Trust me, you'll be doing unknowing people who subsequently rent it a big favor. A HUGE favor.

Like, the biggest favor you could do a person.
