THIS movie was a childhood fantasy of mine. Heading into a theater and being transported to another world... great movie...now scavanger you are prolly asking yourself about the treasure and where this goose is chasing....trust me...its slightly uneventful and lame...but havent we come so......no no ... youre right. We will go further....on amazon there is a book called Watership Down....rabbits in a critical Lord of the Flies kinda way. But there will be a review...at this point im not sure who else is on the trail. Be vigilant. I believe in you.

You've got a tatted up Vincent van Gogh as the villain with Salieri and a plump, fedora-wearing Picasso on his side. You've got a universe with Stallone as the Terminator. You've got bombs exploding and Arnie wearing heeled shoes, his hair the colour of his coat. It's an adrenaline pumped version of "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and references cinema in unsubtle, but quirky ways. It's an entertaining movie from the '90s... what more reason does a person need to watch a movie?

Transported into the cinematic world of his favourite action hero, a young film fanatic struggles to convince the character that his life is one big movie in this ambitious exercise in meta/self-referential filmmaking starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not well received upon initial release, the film arguably tackles a bit too much for its own good. It is not only an action movie spoof, but a fourth wall breaking exercise, a surrogate father/son tale and a personal identity drama as the action hero gradually comes to accept that his world is make-believe. If messy and uneven, 'Last Action Hero' is nevertheless a lot of fun. The opening sequence is a bit of a spoof of director John McTiernan's 'Die Hard' and the preteen protagonist even comments on a situation being like in 'Die Hard' towards the end! There are also amusing moments to be had from the boy recognising F. Murray Abraham as the man who "killed Mozart", him imagining Schwarzenegger in Laurence Olivier's 'Hamlet' and a zany sequence involving Bergman's 'The Seventh Seal' near the end. The best moments though come from Schwarzenegger poking fun at himself and constantly mispronouncing his own name.

If Arnold wants to come back after his near death in politics, he should do 'Jack Slater' with a young adult granddaughter and great grandson to rescue. It is the perfect movie for him and it would be so much fun I could watch for a decade. The character would spark a fire in fans and the storyline would follow his age without having to apologise. It would be a winner that would last him for a decade and then methinks he may want to retire.
