XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

David Roggenkamp A young boy is the victim of a teacher that does not like his work, he is abused by a principal that thinks he has an attitude problem, he is held up for his lunch money by bullies, and his father decides that it would be best to kill his dog and then take a bat after him. It doesn't look like things are looking good for this boy, that is until he finds a box upstream with the text 'Office Supplies'. He digs further and finds it is a front for a special weapon; little known to him is that it is an anti-matter proton gun that was developed and subsequently lost by the military.His father is the first one to taste the gun; the teenager gets a taste of power and soon takes it out on some bullies and uses it to scare the cops. Things only start to heat up as the Sheriff, mayor, and others get involved. Soon the military is dispatched and he is on the movie. He does manage to get a girlfriend in the works, but by the time some things start to look good for him, he starts to have weird hallucinations and can no longer tell the difference between reality and fantasy.The movie is a spiritual successor to another movie "Laserblast", which is on the IMDb's "Bottom 100" worst movies of all time. I don't know about laserblast, but this movie (Deadly Weapon) remained in my head for nearly twenty years after first watching it. It does have its moments, despite the over the top plot, but it is unique compared to other movies. It also keeps things simple and I recommend it for those looking to watch something old school.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=10436)

Joseph P. Ulibas Deadly Weapon (1989) was another one of those badly made and low budgeted sci-fi films that came out during the mid to late 80's. This one actually had some promise but it was squandered after the first ten minutes. If you have a limited budget and a cast of small time actors at least direct the movie with some flair and have a decent script. Sadly this retread of Laserblast never gets off the ground. The film started out okay but it never went anywhere. The only thing cool about this movie was the video cover. If they spent as much time on the movie as they did on the cover, they could've had something instead of nothing.Too bad...Not recommended.D+

Andras_J Like many other people, I only bought this movie because Joey (Rodney Eastman) of A Nightmare On Elm Street Part's 3 and 4 was the lead in it. And, erm....It totally sucks!! Occasionally you can get some pretty good "b" movies, but its movies like this wich make all "b" movies look crap.Lets start of with "the gun". What the hell was its cable lead made out of? Tin foil??! It was extreamly fake looking and looked like a rejected quazer lazer gun.And the acting was terrible! I'm sorry Rodney fans, but this movie is deffanitly made for you. There is no other reason to watch it unless you like Rod. Its very badly written. I wish I didn't buy this junk! Whoa, really. If Rods reading this (hmmm, a bit unlikeley) but I'm sorry man, the movie bites. And youve been in way better.DO NOT EVEN RENT THIS MOVIE

pseudo-3 The only reason I rented this flick, was because it starred "Joey" from "A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors", as well as "Heather Chandler" from "Heathers". And that is the only reason to watch this crud. You want to see an actor do their worst job, then rent this one.
