Steve Guttenberg headlines what’s supposed to be a reunion of the Police Academy cast.
Life doesn’t always work out as promised, though…
This article comes fromDen of Geek UK.
But the call, unfortunately, never came.
Asda and other supermarkets selling DVDs are available had this next toStar Wars: Rogue Onein my local store.
One coin toss later, andRogue Onecould wait.
Watch Lavantula on Amazon.
Purveyors of The Asylum and Syfy attempts to recreate the feel of B-movies will know what theyre getting here.
Some lava and half-decent spiders is the answer.
Dont get carried away and start giving it awards or anything, though.
Thing is, its easy to look down on micro budget stuff like this.
Yet who knows where the next big filmmaker is going to come from?
At one stage, he decides to have a man dressed as a spider fight a spider.
Sadly, its less fun that it sounds.
The other concession to budget is you dont actually get the cast ofPolice Academyfor very long.
This is less forgivable.
His character also needs to reconnect with his son for reasons that are of no human interest.
Theyre shuttled in for quick cameos.
You get them at the start, and then Winslow and Ramsey finally return an hour later.
But we get, what, five minutes with him in all?
Its like aPolice Academyreunion where everyone but Steve Guttenberg got given the wrong time.
Theres the odd concession and acknowledgement of the series elsewhere in the film they took out the Blue Oyster.
On the plus side too, theres little question that everyones in on the gag.
Only for the camera to leave the fact that the rotors arent turning fully in shot.
Yet I think I still want that horror movie with thePolice Academycast that I was sold.
Guttenberg has since followed this up with a sequel,2 Lava 2 Tarantula, where only twoPolice Academyalumni joined him.
Another film is coming.
Thats how this stuff work, right?
And then Statham will turn up two films later?
