Product Description:
DANNY IS OBSESSED WITH A FICTIONAL MOVIE CHARACTER, ACTION HERO JACK SLATER. WHEN A MAGICAL TICKET TRANSPORTS HIM INTO JACK'S LATEST ADVENTURE. DANNY FINDS HIMSELF IN A WORLD WHERE MOVIE MAGIC AND REALITY COLLIDE. NOW IT'S UP TO DANNY TO SAVE THE LIFE OF HIS HERO AND NEW FRIEND.
Amazon.com:
Jack Slater is an action-film hero played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. An old projectionist (Robert Prosky) hands a magic movie ticket to Jack's biggest preteen fan (Austin O'Brien), and the kid steps right inside the latest Jack Slater film, becoming the actor star's sidekick in gunfights and car chases. But when Jack's nemesis (Charles Dance) gets his hands on the ticket, the fight busts out into the real world and Jack (à la Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear) refuses to believe he's a fictional character. Director John McTiernan churns some nifty scenes out of this setup, although the fiction-to-reality shuffle is not as deft as in, say, Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo, and the plot needs the kind of logic and discipline found in that classic when-worlds-collide film Back to the Future. Still, Schwarzenegger has moments of wit and smashing action, and we get a faux-movie trailer advertising an intriguing new shoot-'em-up: "Something's rotten in the State of Denmark--and Hamlet is taking out the trash!"

Despite a rapid decline in the weekly soundboard routine Sid remains very loyal to the king of pranks himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. For years we have been blessed with so many laughs and enjoyment from our bulky headed California governor that we felt the need to get another one of his films in. At this point the pickings are very slim since we pounded away at the Arnold market for a year straight in 07. However we were reminded that Last Action Hero still lies in wait and luckily our friend on ... Read More

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Im one of those few people who got the joke. I got the joke back in 1993 when it came out. I know that this movie was meant to spoof those absurd action movies. Its these bonehead cookie-cutter critics that don't get that point. Bunch of pinheads keep saying the same thing because they allow weirdos like Roger Ebert and smarmy d***heads like Richard Roeper dictate to them what qualifies as quality movies. Check out the negative reviews on ... Read More

This movie has a campy charm to it. Self-referential comedy can be fun, as when the "real" Arnold argues with Maria over plugging his business interests at public events. The Stallone digs are good too. Enjoy this movie for what it is, cotton candy for the mind.

The Last Action Hero
I am one of the people who grew up watching this movie. Overall this is actually a good action film. Anyone who doesn't like it, obviously didn't get that it was meant to be a satire of all the typical, cliches of action films.
John McTiernan, whether or not it was his approach, knew that the only way to truly satirize something, you must be as close to the subject matter as possible. Although he directed such great action films as Die Hard, Predator and ... Read More

This movie has such a clever plot that never quite lives up to its potential, but does provide a few laughs and smiles along the way.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was the same age as the young protagonist and I thought it was awesome! My how things have changed since those carefree days when a million cameos and lots of explosions could make up for terrible writing and weak direction.
The Good: Tom Noonan as The Ripper is genuinely creepy and makes a great arch-foe for ... Read More
