  • Editorial Review:
    Charlie Sheen (THE THREE MUSKETEERS, YOUNG GUNS) delivers fast-paced excitement to this high-flying action-adventure! Sheen stars as Ditch Brodie, a daredevil skydiving instructor who falls hard when a sexy, mysterious beauty (Natassja Kinski) walks through his door looking for a lesson -- and apparently plunges to her death during a parachute jump! Suddenly, Sheen finds himself hurled headlong into a nightmare world of intrigue and deceit -- caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Russian mafia! With pulse-pounding suspense and sensational skydiving, high-speed adventure doesn't move any faster than TERMINAL VELOCITY.

    Description of Terminal Velocity:
    While investigating the mysterious circumstances of a beautiful student's demise, a maverick skydiving instructor finds himself entangled in a murderous conspiracy involving Soviet spies and a lost shipment of gold. Logical it ain't, but this entertainingly daft thriller does offer some good-natured satiric riffs on standard action star conventions. Charlie Sheen (throughout most of the film, this not-especially-heroic hero displays the approximate intelligence of a bag of doorknobs) stars along with Nastassja Kinski in a welcome return after a long absence from the screen. Good fun for adrenaline junkies, with a boffo climax involving a midair escape attempt from a free-falling convertible. Writer David Twohy went on to direct Sheen in the considerably more accomplished The Arrival. --Andrew Wright

    Terminal Velocity Reviews:
    All aspects exceedingly professional, and outstanding. 4 Star Review
    2007-03-14 -
    TERMINAL VELOCITY, released in 1994, is a movie that has aged
    extremely well, except maybe for the KGB and end-of-Cold War
    mood that was reminiscent of the era after the Berlin Wall
    fell, and a new era was unveiled in the former one-party USSR.

    The thrill and action aspects of this film, are as good as any
    that the best Bond 007 movies had to offer, no doubt.

    The 5.1 audio is phenomenal, as are the crisp, crystal clear
    digital sequences on the DVD release.

    Probably, it will mostly be the below 21 viewers who will
    especially appreciate the extensive aerodrome and airplane
    settings and sequences, considering that airplanes, even today
    in 2007, are still somewhat exotic, as almost nobody has a
    pilot's license, or has a parachute jumping training, for that
    matter.

    For the movie to show Charlie Sheen and Nastassja Kinski at
    their best, in those sequences, brings a valuable commodity to
    the finished product, which is its entire dream-like
    atmosphere. This is what makes believable the otherwise
    impossible turn of events, that favor the 2 protagonists against
    failure, and against all odds, at each turn and moment during
    the course of the movie.

    The musical score is also exceptional, for a movie of this
    genre, and is a pleasure througout the 90 minutes.

    A last note, is the presence of James Gandolfini, early in his
    career, presented as a "bad guy" obviously, yet ... this actor,
    despite his later similar role in the Sopranos, is perhaps not
    that much of a natural as a bad guy - this being one person's
    opinion.

    Lots of fun 4 Star Review
    2007-01-09 - I liked this movie. Even though one of the villans was a little over acted. I've seen it several times and enjoyed it a lot. Charlie Sheen is great. Nastassja Kinski is great also and absolute gorgeous. James Gandolfini is excellent.

    Oh - My - Gosh!!! 1 Star Review
    2006-12-22 - Did the other reviewers watch the same movie I just watched??? This movie is so incredibly bad!!! Please tell me it's supposed to be a comedy. I laughed all the way through because it was so ridiculous.

    Great Action, Sub Par Plot= Really Enjoyable B Movie 3 Star Review
    2006-11-08 - Ok, where to begin. This film is like a mix of James Bond, Mission Impossible, Eraser, and maybe a parody film. I only say this because many of the moments in the film are acted or scripted quite comedically. As far as the overall enjoyability goes, it was a very pleasant action film, filled with action comedy, and thrills.



    1970 Challenger R/T 3 Star Review
    2006-04-15 - A decent movie ; best part is that the director, D. Sarafian, has Sheen drive a white, 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T as a inside joke or a tribute to Richard Sarafian (dad? uncle? whatever) who directed the classic, Vanishing Point which had, as one? the? star a 1970 white Dodge Challenger R/T. As in Vanishing Point, car gets totaled...nice touch after 25 or so years.
