    This is quite possibly one of the most amazing film experiences I've had. It's hard to critique this shlock-fest properly so I'm basing my rating on the sheer amount of ridiculous fun that can be had watching this.

    There's simply no good way to sum this up. It's just explosion after explosion after bike stunt after joke after explosion after slo-mo gunfight after explosion, and it's damn near incredible. This is the definition of camp, action packed, cheesy B-Movie glory, and holds no punches in it's wonderfully self-aware execution.

    I'm yet to watch the Tarantino remake, but from what I understand its a completely different beast, so don't go into this expecting anything remotely similar.

    Apart from a relatively boring 25 minutes at the beginning. This is a cheesy thrill ride that is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face. Just sit down with some friends and put this on and I guarantee you'll have the time of your life.
