This movie is so boring....On a positive note the box of the movie kick ass!

I agree with you hear this movie was pretty bad, even for a bad movie.

This movie is quite dumb, but it has some cool deaths.I would rate it *** out of *****.

Check out  Uncle Sam at the end when he's shot by the cannon.   You can totally see the rope carrying him through the air.   What's even worse is the rope cuts through the side of the house!  They don't even bother to cover it up!

I loved this movie.   Probably one of the worst and funniest movies i've ever seen!

  This movie takes too long to get into it and when it finally does, only delivers a mediocre ending. The only redeeming factor was when Uncy Sam got shot by the cannon, or wait, was that pulled away by a rope? I can't tell.
Don't worry! It's only friendly fire!

Your rating of 1 was spot on.

Definitely not as good as Jack Frost,but there's one thing that I do love about that movie. The kid who played with fireworks. Apparently an M-80 going off in your hand makes you blind,wheelchair ridden and deathly pale. But with all your fingers.Dig that.

  Call me crazy(or downright insane), but I actually liked this movie.  But then again, I am a real push-over when it comes to zombie movies.  Hand me anything with an undead freak in it and there is a 95% chance I'll love it.  In fact the only three zombie movies that I've seen(And I have seen a lot)and disliked have been NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES, REVENGE OF THE DEAD, and PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES.  Well, anyway, this movie had some cool deaths and plenty of unintentional laughs, so I'll give it *** out of ****.

My friends and I rented Uncle Sam in hopes of watching a movie that was so bad we could laugh at, but this was just plain boring.

What made this film so bad, was the horrible acting by the women who play Sam's wife , and his sister , and ,also, a couple of the situations were quite ridiculous . Sam Harper , abusive husband , and brother arrives back from Desert Storm charred black and enclosed in a coffin . The Army pays a visit to notify his wife of his death , and justs leaves the coffin at his ex wife's house , as if they have'nt heard of funeral homes!
After 2 dead bodies are discovered at the small town July 4th celebration, the festivities continue as if nothing happens .
There are enough funny moments and killings, however to keep this film entertaining , deserving of a couple drops of slime in my book .

I will have to agree with the majority here, this movie blew. What is good about this movie is that our dear cheffy (Issac Hayes) is in it, and a hotty with nice breasts and buttocks. What really sucks is one nude scene that is just a reflection nonetheless, also who the hell wants to watch a parade and a hitler youth star in a flick about nationalism. But I learned Uncle Sam really is an a***ole!

No, you are all wrong.  This movie was the funniest movie I have seen in a long time.  "Honey don't play with the coffin"  

The sack race is so classic... see this movie!

I realize you guys like to rip on this movie because of the bad acting and things like that, but I think if you look further into it you'll find it addresses some serious issues. My dad died from being run up a flagpole on the 4th of July by an undead gulf war veteran, and I'm glad someone finally had the guts to portray it in a movie.

Its easy to dismiss movies which are so viceral and so engrossing they are downright disturbing, i am afraid that is what has happened here.  Just because we are afraid of an 'uncle sam' who pursues draft dodgers, pot smokers, and peeping toms, doesnt mean we have the right to prentend such disturbing realities dont exist for some people.  Would i want to live in a world with an 'Uncle Sam'?  Certianly not, is uncle sam justified in killing kids who defile veterns graves and burn flags?  That is the question which the film presents and leaves the viewer to decide upon.

I picked this movie up, not knowing if it was going to be any good since it is from A-Pix. But when I watched it, I thought "What the hell is this s**t?" The story was so weak, the acting was terrible, and Issac Hayes and Robert Forster (I think thats how you spell his last name) were wasted. Note: If you happen to rent this trash, at the point when they shoot Uncle Sam with the cannonball, you can see the cord pulling him through the air. Its as clear as day. Only rent it to see that part.

In a word "s**t". This is for hard core B-horror movie fans only!! Even then, view at your own risk! Gawd, it was awful! The only slightly redeeming thing was the visible rope when Sam gets blasted. The kid burning his old army toys was the most disturbing thing about this crapfest. Why torch good action figures?? Li'l a$$ole!! How did Sam com back to life, anyway? He just did. Brilliant. Whoever made this flick should be beaten severly.

I think the movie has a good taste of laughs.It was scary when I first seen it Sept.9,1999.Now it has become my favorite movie.I watch this movie more than any other movie in my house.And I also watch the movie to watch David Fralick cause he is so good lookin' for a dead guy.I say that William Lustig did a good job on directing this movie.

You guys are nuts! This movie is an all time classic. Sure there were some boring parts, but there were also some great actors in it that were fun to watch. Robert Forester, who was great in Jackie Brown, Isaac Hayes who is the man, and Jason Adelman whos been in a million things such as Moesha, the client, and has won all sorts of awards such as the sundance film festival award for must be the music. I dunno, maybe I have bad taste.

Any of you have a clue of why/how did Sam come back to life? Was it his own evil soul, some unidentified force, or it's just that the writers suck?
By the way, in México the complete name is "Uncle Sam, diabolical killer", which just makes it worse!
I got this for $3 (new, not previously seen!) and I still feel like they owe me...

I was very disappointed in this movie, considering its cast and the fact that William Lustig (Maniac, Vigilante, Relentess, and Maniac Cop 1 & 2) directed it and it was written by Larry Cohen (The Stuff, It's Alive, Q: The Winged Serpent, Maniac Cop 1 & 2, etc.).  The sack race clip was pretty funny, but it saddens me that Bill choose this movie to dedicate to the memory of Lucio Fulci.  I'm also surprised that no one noticed that the final shot of the movie is a sly homage to the closing moment of Fulci's legendary (to someone) film City of the Livind Dead (aka The Gates of Hell).

This movie was the best comedy Ive seen in awhile! The little blind twirp in the chair was plain silly and the scene with the sergeant on the phone in his hotel room was classic! If you are going to watch this movie with hopes of being scared, you will be greatly dissappointed. However, if you want to see something along the lines of Dumb and Dumber, this movie is it!

Uncle Sam takes the cake as being the best movie of all time. This movie made me laugh harder then anything I've ever seen. My friends and I nearly had to stop the movie from puking. APix/UniPix is the master of B-movies. What makes this movie hilarious besides terrible acting, bad dialogue, and too much damn camera panning. And the fact that EVERY single scene in the movie is crucial. If you go to the bathroom and miss one scene, later you will have no idea why someone got killed or something. It's so poorly written. Just a few scenes to look for....The Sack Race, Jody stepping on the glass, the absurdly defenseless victims, the Ropes, the functional Cannon, some reason it looks like daylight outside at midnight, no one hears the gun shots at a small town festival, and how can uncle sam blow up a government official and still have time to pick up a flag and STILL have enough time to impale a cop falling back from the explosion, how does someone get buried alive? AND IS THAT KID p**sING ON THE GRAVE FOR 7 HOURS? HOW DO HIS FRIENDS NOT NOTICE HE'S SCREAMING AND GETTING BURIED. I have no idea. This movie is my all time favorite classic. Simply put, Uncle Sam is life!  
tip: Check out all the rest of the previews on Uncle Sam. they are all top quality UniPix B movies.

Usually the word's (uncle sam) means the United States, hey it can also be refered as a homicidal killer right? The movie was short but ok. Not pure rate material but good is enough for me. Educational movies about the war are very efficent during self denfense, hehehehehe!!!

Hmm... all these reader comments makes this I-have-seen-it-before-movie look like a killer. Some Hollywood-director must have searched the movie archives for an unused monster character and decided to make some moneys on this flick. It's totally uninterresting, it sucks ass but not so bad that it become irritating. A "Nothing"-movie, you can say...

I have rented this movie back in 1999 and in my opinon this movie sucks badly. It only got one good part and that part was the naked girl in the window. I just wish somebody kick that evil little boy's ass he was so stupid he was so mean to his mom and his aunt if I was in that movie I would gladly kick his Uncle Sam's ass and his. Why was every body so scared of Sam Harper in life and death he sound like a p***y to me.

Hmmm, you know, maybe the movie can be inspirational, perhaps Johnny Knoxville and his gang from MTV's Jackass can do the whole sack race stunt, hopefully they won't survive and break their necks on their way down. Cheers.

Ok, I'm friends with "J-man" (jesse's pathetic attempt of being cool).
I saw this movie, and it called to me, "rent me...I'm crap!"  Uncle Sam was terrible.  After 40 minutes of nothing happening it gets even more stupid. Uncle sam comes back for no reason, uncle sam kills "un-patriotic" people (but uncle sam, killing is wrong!) and uncle sam dies unexplainably.  Ok, they shoot the guy with a gun, no effect. Then the dude that plays chef "saves the children" by getting a really old cannon and firing at the house. A nuclear explosion type of thing happened, and the house blew up. They do it again. This time he dies.  Granted, the movie is bad, I mean really bad, and at the end the damn thing falls apart...ok, the movie was so bad it destroyed itself. So...this movie destroyed itself. That's pretty bad, and when I have to say a movie is "Worse than the leprechaun" you know God doesn't care.  If you watch the credits your treated to a crappy poem! Oh Boy! So it sucks, which is why I'm buying this movie to start my bad movie collection started. If you want a crappy horror, get this. "It's Painful"

An ok slasher movie nothing to original but nothing too good either.

Beats a lot of dumb teen crappy movies out there.

Dissappointment.  As a political scientist, I can appreciate some of the political propaganda, but aside from that, this movie was just useless, utterly, utterly, useless.  No imagination at all.  Not even all that scary.

'Yup, we'll just leave this big-ass coffin with a char-burnt corpse in it right here on your doorstep-no need for funeral homes or anything!-Hope you don't mind terribly...' :lookingup:

Just another one of those putrid antimilitary junk movies from some slimepig director who should be tied to a giant skyrocket and shot into the upper stratoshear
