Demolition University
86 minutes (18) Warner
Director: Kevin S. Tenney
review by Jeff Young
Demolition University involves stolen nerve gas, the
hijacking of a power plant, a plot to poison a city, and stray hostages causing
untold grief for heavily armed terrorists. Corey Haim stars as a rogue student
football jock out to impress his reluctant girlfriend (Ami Dolenz) by outwitting a
bunch of racially stereotyped, incompetent Arab gunmen. Smug soldier boy Todd Allen
is thoroughly obnoxious ("Money passes for charm in my country") as the traitorous
leader of this weary off-campus actioner, there's an FBI babe who is actually a
bright psych profiler but looks great in a miniskirt anyway, while only Robert
Forster's army colonel with an ulcer makes much of an impression as a genuine
character. Clunky dialogue, crappy actors, and the drama-crushing hand of Jim
Wynorski as both producer and 2nd unit director, leaves a great deal to be desired
here.
