Lack of good storyline.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Chad Lowe and Kristy Swanson play Charlie and Rachel, a young couple who've hit the road to Vegas in order to elope. Despite the warnings of grizzled desert gas station owner Sam (Richard Farnsworth), they manage to fall prey to a character known as The Hellcop (C. J. Graham). The evil lawman abducts Rachel and takes her to Hell; Charlie learns from Sam that he has a limited amount of time in which to rescue his bride-to-be. Receving assistance from a man named "Beezle" (Patrick Bergin), and befriended by Beezles' young charge Adam (Jarrett Lennon), Charlie is plunged into a variety of weird environments and encounters.Directed by Dutch filmmaker Ate de Jong ("A Flight of Rainbirds", "Drop Dead Fred"), this cult comedy isn't terribly funny overall, and the story, conceived by Brian Helgeland ("L. A. Confidential", "Payback") is pretty conventional. This derives most of its modest amusement from incidental moments and gags, not to mention some delicious cameos (which I won't spoil here). Overall, "Highway to Hell" (it seems like a no-brainer that we'd have the AC/DC song on the soundtrack, but we don't) is just quirky enough to make it a decent watch, and is graced with a good forward pace and respectable amount of energy. It's also got a groovy rock score by the group Hidden Faces.The lovely and appealing Swanson and the likable, earnest Lowe are good as the couple at the centre of the tale, while Bergin definitely elevates the proceedings with his charismatic performance as a dapper, engaging version of Satan. Graham, who "Friday the 13th" franchise fans know as their favourite hockey masked killer in Part VI of that series, has a solid screen presence as the mute villain. Farnsworth is as delightful as he's ever been, and the movie likewise benefits from his brief screen time.Worth a look for people looking for something a little different.Six out of 10.

If found this movie almost unwatchable. If you like really bad movies, like Troll 2, then maybe you'd like this one.It had a few mildly humorous moments -- even though I didn't laugh even once. The jokes where stilted and stale though.The production values where terrible except for a little bit of nice makeup.The plot made very little sense and there where endless plot holes.I didn't find any of the characters compelling but it was interesting to see a few minor characters who would soon become big stars like Jerry Stiller.If you are a fan of really bad movies, then you'll want to see this one. Otherwise, I recommend avoiding it.

This was an incredible time .... This was my first movie standby, while VERY boring still cool. I spent my time with the 2nd unit, never having met a stuntman or special fx guys nobody really wanted to talk to us paramedics. I think this would have been a terrible two weeks had it not been for the stunt folks being stuck on SUPER MARIO WORLD. I helped them get thru the game and it was on.....Long days on set and even longer nights in the wahweap bar...Although the movie didn't set records, still cool to see both sides. What an amazing amount of manpower and equipment, not to mention the stunt folks risking their health and lives. Thanks to all the TONS of staff that took care of us.Doc

Highway to Hell starts off as a campy 80's ish horror flick. It grabs you from the start and then holds on when our stars jump over the real world divide. The concept is ingenious and the characters are fresh. There are some great sight gags and loads of funny lines. THis is definitely better than the 5.7 rating here......I just left a review for 'The Prodigy' and I am FLABBERGASTED that it has the same rating on IMDb. This is EASILY a better film. Patrick Bergen and Chad Lowe are great adversaries and on originality alone this film deserves at least a 6-6.5 here. Pure unadulterated 'B' movie genius. Wish I could find a copy to rent. 3.5 out of five on my 'b' movie marathon list. It is very strange and not for all tastes, but HTH will forever be a cult-classic. 65/100
