A whole lot of grunting going on

GRID RUNNERS is a straight to video action flick, directed by one-time star Andrew Stevens and starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson in what is a typically wooden role for the actor. Still, there's a whole slew of hard-hitting fight scenes in the movie, which is what it's all about.

The set-up is some quasi-sci fi background in which Wilson plays a cop tracking down a killer who's escaped from a virtual reality game. To add to the sleaze quotient (although it's more silly than sleazy) there are a couple of women from a cybersex game, which allows for the producers to incorporate a little sex and nudity into the narrative.

Your enjoyment of this movie will depend on how much you like seeing buff guys slugging it out for what occasionally seems like hours on end. Bad guy Michael Bernardo looks more like a cover model for a cheap romance novel than a real actor, but there are bit parts for genre staples like Stella Stevens, Turhen Bey, and Loren Avedon.

cutesy, funny, and Michael Bernardo is hot!

Why is it that virtual "x-rated video game" women can speak through their mouths but virtual fighting game champion Dante has to use a combination of telepathy and over dramatic facial expressions? I feel that either they needed to cast someone who looked more villain-like (Michael Bermardo's big brown doe eyes don't exactly strike fear in the hearts of well.. anyone except for maybe casting directors who consistently cast him as either a villain or a heroic 'bad boy'.) OR they needed to just let him use his real voice (and move his mouth), and maybe give him a costume that would not make him stick out like a sore thumb when walking down the street. (but of course this is the future and we must assume that bad fashion taste is considered the norm.)

Hilarious!

Owww, man. This movie is funny. The villain Dante is probably one of the funniest villains I've ever seen in film. He can beat up anyone, he doesn't move his mouth when he speaks, makes feeble attempts to show emotion, has cheesy and hilarious lines. What more could you ask for? Probably a better movie, but we're looking at this one, right? Don "The Dragon" Wilson can take down almost anyone in this film, showing his energetic martial art skills but when it comes to the sex scene he provides the biggest laugh of them all. After taking down all sorts of evil punks, he sleeps with a beautiful woman he barely knows for 10 minutes, but lays there completely lifeless as she does all the work! Come on, Dragon, show a little energy next time! For a serious sci-fi movie, look elsewhere. For some laughs, you could do worse.
