It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

There, I did it again... After going through this phase (a few months ago) of wanting to see as many killer-bee movies as possible, its sting must have left something in my system, because last week I got me 2 other killer-bee movies... As we all know, Rutger Hauer is the man, so I just had to see this one. Basically Mr. Hauer's pretty hilarious performance of a corrupt military bad-ass/bad guy is the only thing that kept my going through this movie. He's great and has the best lines of the whole movie. Watch him kill off an entire innocent tribe. Watch him kill even an entire civilized town. Watch him say "Actually, bees are allergic to ME!" and then see him get killed by a crocodile! Extremely fun stuff, but the rest of the movie.... Well, the movie has two story-lines. One about the rain forest being destroyed for commercial profits, the other one is... uhm, well: Bees on a Plane. That's it. Oh yeah, the scene where Graig Sheffer was hanging on a rope outside a flying plane was a hoot! You've got to see it to believe it. Highly unbelievable stuff. Maybe so-bad-it's-good... And Gabrielle Anwar is kinda cute.

If ever a film deserved "WTF?" It's this one. But hey they all had such FUN making it.This is not a movie to be reviewed subjectively. You couldn't even call it a movie, but you know what? I enjoyed the whole damn thing. From probably the worst plane fx ever put up on screen, to the shoddy "lets blow it up then show it again from another angle" cinematography.. right the way though to Rutger Hauer's comical turn as the "wannabe baddest z-grade terrorist" ever unleashed on an unsuspecting bunch of refugees from the ANACONDA film set. The "Shadow People?????" heheheh! My only question is how did they ever get these actors to keep a straight face when delivering their lines.Sheffer....who cut his teeth on zilch-grade flicks (TURBULENCE 3 springs to mind) excels himself here in his pursuit of Miss Anwar while endeavoring to prevent the "killer bees" (Irwin Allen sold them what he had left over from THE SWARM) from infiltrating the first-class cabin of the hitherto unknown Boeing design we see here.It is the very comical ineptitude of everyone from the Director to the tea lady that makes this the crap classic it is. Where else you gonna see killer bees massing for attack in the toilet bowl? scores of trained and fully armed commandos unable to bring down a bunch of natives with spears? A 737 perform a 180 degree U-turn in less than 5 seconds? some teenage d***wad re-program a heat seeking missile with his lap-top? ONLY here my friends! Pay homage where its due. THIS is the cruddiest and most entertaining piece of unoriginal if not downright hysterical cinematic flotsam ever to grace your local bargain-bin. Grab it while it's hot!

This movie was so cheap its not even that funny. The producers, directors, etc must have used the same shots for different scenes 5 different times.The overall plot wasn't too bad, but how in the world did this Zeke guy go around slaughtering tribes and towns without any sort of military resistance from the country. If some yahoo went around firing missiles in Chicago, Detroit, etc than he'd be shot down within the hour.Another thing wrong was they never elaborated on the fate of everyone that was infected on the plane before the proverbial "shyt hit the fan" part. Did David Naughton's character bite the bag or what? Lastly, did anyone else who saw this movie laugh when Zeke hit the drink after the bees attacked, that may have been the smartest move in film history.Poor effort but with the planes....I give it 4 out of 10

but no matter the title, it's still a lowbuck, horrifically written flick. Gabrielle Anwar running around in a jungle is amusing for about 3 minutes, but you have to watch 100- odd minutes of garbage to get it.....it does get bonus points for it's Ed Wood styled same stunt from three different camera angles stretching of the budget, and loses the bonus points just as quickly for it's "Shadow People" with Prince Valiant haircuts..... truly bad, completely ludicrous, and on the Cheez-o-meter, it gets; 3 out of 10, bad, but not lovably so....
