VHS Movie Reviews of Avalanche Express
Movie Review: What do you do when the star dies before the movie is done!
Summary: 1 Stars
In the case of this weak cold war thriller(their label not mine), you find someone who sounds nothing like "star" Robert Shaw and use his bad impersonation of Mr. Shaw and then use long shots to hide the double used to fill in those scenes that he had yet to film. As for the "all-star" cast(Joe Namath, Mick Connors, and Linda Evans) the less said the better. I must have been very sick the first time I saw this to think it was good.Movie Review: Bad Bad Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie hit the screens on October 19 1979 starring Lee Marvin as Col Harry Wargrave, Robert Shaw as General Marenkov and Linda Evans as Elsa Lang. Senior Russian official General Malenkov wants to defect to the Western part of Russia. So the CIA sends one of there top agents, Harry Wargrave to make sure that the General gets to where he wants to go. Malenkov reveals to the CIA that the Russian underground is trying to develop biological weapons and no one is suppose to know about this. Therefore, with Malenkov knowing all this information the CIA decides it would be better for Malenkov to go by train instead of by air across Europe. However, the CIA is after more information then the General can give them so they put the General a train call the Avalanche Express in order to draw the Russian Secret Agents out in order to fine the leader of the group. During the train ride across Europe the CIA has to deal with terrorist attacks and an *********. This movie was as bad as bad can get. I bought this movie because of Linda Evans and I was so disappointed. The only comment I have is don't waste your money on this film because it just wasn't worth it. I give this movie just 1 weasel star and it doesn't even deserve the 1 star. Movie Review: Good mix of Lee Marvin, Linda Evans & Robert Shaw
Summary: 3 Stars
This film has a good plot and real characters. The scenes of Milan and Europe in winter are good. Dysktra's avalanche special effects are not quite Star Wars but very good. If you like trains, travel with Cold War under tones, you like this movie.Movie Review: Okay story but,....
Summary: 2 Stars
This could have been a good movie if Robert Shaw hadn't died while they were making it. In Leonard Maltin's review he says that most of Robert Shaw's voice had to be re dubbed. As far as i could hear ALL of it was. It was just too hard to enjoy because it obviously wasn't Robert Shaw's Voice. There are some good performances in this film though. And a good plot. But if you're planning to buy it because you're a fan of Robert Shaw,...Prepared to be dissapointed. I'm sure he gave a good performance but the emotions displayed by the actor who dubbed him were lacking. Sad. Could have been a classic movie if it weren't for that.
