That was an excellent one.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent but underrated film

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Invasion USA (1985). Red Heat (1988). Navy Seals (1990). Sure, you could spend around five hours watching all three - like a SUCKER! Or you could save time like someone smart and just watch Rangers! Yes, Rangers wasn't so much directed by Jim Wynorski as it was cobbled together from different sources by him and a team of editors. Evidently, it also contains footage from The Delta Force (1986) and The Hidden (1987), as if they felt they needed material from a total of five movies because they were in serious danger of creating too much of their own original content. We wonder if it's fun for filmmakers to assemble a movie in this fashion. After all, they have to try and match the sets of certain scenes so they can be edited together. For example, the set designers for what remains of the original production of Rangers had to make an office space that resembled the one from the climax of Invasion USA, so it would match. But then again, in many other scenes, the cobbles don't match at all, and it seems like they just don't care.But maybe that's where the fun of Rangers lies - watching in amusement and mild incredulity that the filmmakers would try to pass off a patchwork quilt as one original piece. Who did they think they were fooling? Perhaps less-sophisticated moviegoers were their intended audience, but if you're watching Rangers, the odds are very good you've also seen the movies it's edited from. No one skips directly to Rangers without watching at least some of the others. We're pretty sure that's never happened. Clearly the budget wasn't there for large action setpieces, and it's just more economical to simply buy them from other movies. We realize this is pretty common in latter-day DTV outings, but it's never more extensive or blatant as it is in Rangers.But, piecemeal nature aside, if you've ever wanted to see Lloyd Braun of Seinfeld fame shoot people and savagely murder them, now is your chance. Matt McCoy's faces are truly funny to observe, and the only thing that would make this better is if, while he was unloading his machine gun, he was shouting "SERENITY NOW!!!!!" Sadly, this doesn't happen, even though his stint on Seinfeld was pretty close time-wise to his role here. Clearly the casting people saw McCoy as Lloyd Braun and thought "that would be perfect casting for our hard-ass Army Ranger". It all just adds to the off-kilter, "this shouldn't exist" vibe of Rangers. So if the shooting, blow-ups, inserted footage from other movies, and pre-9/11 Islamic terrorism doesn't hold your interest, surely McCoy's wide-eyed mugging will.While Corbin Bernsen is in it for a few minutes, the movie is pretty much stolen by one Dartanyan Edmonds as Fenton. We're thinking he may be the lost musketeer. He gets all the good lines and has some nice charisma and screen presence. The movie would be worse off without him. Glenn Plummer also tries nobly to save the sinking ship, but it's truly a case of "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic". Still, you've got to admire the guy for trying.So if you're looking for anything remotely close to military or cinematic accuracy, run screaming in the other direction from Rangers. If you want a movie (well, technically, six movies all told) with a rock-bottom budget filled with unabashed stupidity just to have a larf, well, Rangers is certainly that.

I can't believe I've spent two hours of my time on this junk recycle movie. The wish for turning it off, went to maximum, when I saw several scenes form the Arnold Shwarzeneger movie where he plays captain Renko, with Jim Belushi. That was pathetical! This film should be banned for everybody! Yikes! This was highlight of the movie, a borrowed scene from another film, that was used in this one... Wondering who read the script... Believe me, I saw many bad movies, but this is for avoiding! That's all, can't waste any more words on this "cinematografic experience"

The TV guide described this as " Fast and furious " , well I`d describe this film as diahorrea because it`s fast and furious faeces . I wasn`t expecting it to be up to much but I was shocked as to what a poor film RANGERS is ****** POSSIBLE SPOILERS ******* But don`t worry you won`t want to see this movieThe film starts with an airborne shot of a hercules C-130 then it cuts to the interior of the plane - Which in no way resembles a C-130 , It resembles a gym changing room ! - where we`re introduced to the characters in some of the most painful exposition I`ve seen of having the leader discuss what the mission is and why they`re all wearing Syrian army uniforms.Cut to some stock footage of men skydiving from a plane at dawn and then landing into the sea where they inflate a couple of rubber dingys underwater then cut to them resurfacing where it`s pitch black ! Some team of special forces if it takes them all day to inflate a couple of dingys . And wouldn`t the delta force or navy SEALS be doing this sort of stuff ? I`m just kind of curious why this film is called RANGERS ?So they carry on with their mission which confused me because if they`re posing as Syrians then that can only mean the action is taking place in Syria or the Lebanon ,neither country being at war so why`s this taking place in the middle of a war zone ? It gets worse though because one of the team says :" This jobs easier than that twenty buck hoe I had in Las Vegas "Yup there`s nothing more endearing to an audience than knowing one of the heroes has to pay for sex . In fact would a prostitute in Vegas be charging as little as twenty bucks ? Shows you how bad a film like RANGERS is when you find yourself asking questions like that .Enough . I could spend several pages writing about this piece of garbage but it`s not worth it . It`s a cheap straight to video film composed of stock footage and a bunch of non actors giving the impression they`re making the story up as they go along . I won`t finish on the old cliche that I wasted ninety minutes of my life on this crap because I only wasted thirty minutes of my life on it as I turned it off when the guy got blown out of the window

What I learned from Rangers:1-There are a lot of token black guys 2-Briefings to super-elite Ranger units are done minutes before being deployed on a mission while flying miles above earth in a plane. 3-It goes from sunrise to midnight in about 5 minutes. 4-Charlie Sheen does many non-mentioned and short cameos in this B-rated film. 5-Where'd the SCUBA gear come from? 6-After falling and then deploying their parachutes, miles from shore they know exactly where to find a cache of deflated boats. 7-Rangers can change laced army boots to swimming flippers in a matter of seconds, while falling at terminal velocity. 8-AK-47 weapons that the Rangers possess, magically can change to MP5 submachine guns. 9-You SHOULD look at the camera. 10-After firing a bazooka round and blowing up part of a building and creating lots of smoke, no fire alarms nor sprinkler systems go on. 11-When boarding a helicopter, the shape of the call numbers change. 12-The Rangers can instantly transport themselves into different positions, like on the helicopter. 13-Your are supposed to blink A LOT when shooting an automatic weapon. 14-You don't bleed when you are shot, not until at least many hours after the fact. 15-Military hair regulations are not in effect for women officers. 16-In terrorist land Brandy and Whisky are the same thing, and when they are poured, bubbles appear. 17-Elite military soldiers live off base, in big houses with wives. 18-Alex can commute back and forth from Florida to DC in a matter of seconds with his friend, many times a day. 19-Elite soldier's marksmanship is terrible at short range. 20-Pistol clips hold about 30 rounds. 21-Grenades, when thrown get to their target very fast then blow up. 22-You can be promoted to Sergeant to Lieutenant in a matter of days.
