https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20726444/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20726444/) Not bad............... for about two minutes. :buggedout: Title: Re: The Asylum strikes again Post by: Gabriel Knight on December 21, 2022, 03:33:32 PM It's funny how on the reviews there's people complaining that it's a knockoff of TOP GUN. I assumed that, by now, The Asylum and the whole mockbuster genre would be more known.

The first Top Gunner film was released to capitalize on the release of Top Gun: Maverick, but that film was delayed repeatedly due to Covid. This sequel was released to capitalize on the actual release of the much-delayed blockbuster. Probably more than anything in the movie would.

All the stuff behind companies like these is quite fascinating to me. Take this piece of information, for example: As of 2009, The Asylum's usual budget for a production was "well under a million dollars", and films would typically break even after about three months. Say what you will about their movies, they really know how to turn lead into gold.

I prefer bad movies where they set out to make a good one and it just didn't work out to deliberately made bad ones.

"In Asylum fashion, every monster will have exactly five seconds of screentime in-between scenes of actors reading their dialogue in office rooms." |
