Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

justasinger159 Becky Harris plays the female shopper whose misfortune it is to be in the store at the wrong time and obviously ONLY purpose to be in this film is to supply a reason to wear out remote controls! Miss Harris seems to me to be in her fifties or older when she first comes on the scene. Once the red haired thug is done with her it becomes apparent that this is no AARP queen. If these are not some of the finest assets ever displayed on celluloid, I want someone to clue me in. Absolutely breathtaking in my opinion and I literally wore out my VHS copy capturing her charms. I would like to know if this movie is available on DVD.The rest of this movie really is not worthy of mention. I was hoping to see something fairly convincing and intelligent, however I was disappointed on both counts. God Bless Becky Harris!

HaemovoreRex One of a fairly long line of generic vigilante action flicks to emerge post Death Wish, this as with most of the others of its ilk, proves to be highly satisfying stuff. The plot which is virtually identical to the earlier and slightly superior Kill Squad, has a group of Nam veterans setting out to avenge the death of one of their friends and cleaning up the streets of the vicious gangs that are terrorising the neighbourhood.The villains, led by a delightfully OTT Paul Koslo, are all wonderful 80's stereotypes of street thugs and crooks (ah, they just don't make cinematic scum like they used to!) One thing's for sure; you'll be guaranteed left cheering as each one of the main antagonists in this bite the dust in style at the hands of our heroes. Hell, it's almost enough to make one want to form a posse and kick some criminal butt!

dennisvenhuis When my friends and I began our journey to rent the worst movies available at every video store in town back in the mid-'80s, we never thought to rent this one. The box cover implied that it was a post-apocalyptic survival movie of some sort, and, not being fans of that genre, we avoided it. Luckily, my mother actually brought this doozy home one weekend when the video store ran out of copies of 'Commando' (a pile of dung in its own right, but I was 15 at the time). For whatever reason, she assumed 'The Annihilators' would be an acceptable substitute for the evening. Our original disappointment soon turned into glee, and eventually, uncontrollable laughter as we plodded through this monumentally horrid train-wreck of a movie. I will not get too much into the plot, as other posters have given a pretty decent overview of the film's premise. As stated, it's your basic revenge action flick : A group of Vietnam vets re-unite to avenge the death of one of their comrades at the hands of some sadistic Atlanta gang members. That's the plot in a nutshell. However, despite this overdone formula, this movie stands out among others of the genre -- it's absolutely freaking hysterical. The movie does contain some violence and foul language -- typical for the genre-- but somehow it almost has the feel of an after-school special or Sunday night movie of the week. Mixed with the violence and drug use is this almost sickening feel-good aura to the movie that actually tries to make the viewer believe ' if good people stick together, we can conquer all the bad in the world...' or some such rubbish...What really makes this film a steaming pile of hilarity are the acting and the dialogue. Over-ridden with clichéd 'feel-good' speeches and over-the-top bad guy badness, 'The Annihilators can't seem to decide if it wants to be a hard-ass action flick or a nice family film about people bonding together to overcome a common obstacle.. It fails quite miserably at both, but makes for a unique, laughably rotten film in the process. Even though several actors in the movie are recognizable from appearances in other films and television shows, the real 'star' of this stinker would have to be Paul Koslo as head bad guy RoyBoy Jagger. His hammy performance alone is worth sitting through the 87 minutes. From his spikey, madcap lions-mane hairdo, his over-expressive face (I swear his nostrils flare in a few scenes) to the obnoxious way he spews the horrendous dialogue he was given, Koslo is definitely the film's largest source of entertainment. He even manages to be funny during the final rooftop fight scene -- after getting kicked in the chest, he stumbles backward, puts his hand to his chest and wails like an alley cat..... and I laughed till it hurt.Although 'The Annihilators' is cruddy in almost every way imaginable, it is certainly funnier than half of the so-called comedies put out by the American movie factories, and I definitely recommend it to fans of un-intentional humor.2 out of 10 for fans of actual movies7 out of 10 for afficionados of garbage

krayzp To the people who have seen this hilarious movie, try and imagine in what state of mental exhaustion and/or depression I was, when I actually shed a tear in the scene where the leader of the vigilantes tells the alcoholic one he still trusts him to watch his back. I also cried when the cripple died.Don't worry for me, my life is now back on track.
