While Never Too Young To Die may not REALLY be the worst movie ever made, it was certainly one of the worst, and maybe the worst made in the big action movie era, and the worst movie that comes across as camp that was intended to be serious. (It certainly doesn't go far enough into camp territory to really work as camp, but it's just ludicrous enough that you can't take it seriously, either.)
Bad story? Check. Bad script? Checked twice. Bad Editing? Check. Bad direction? Again, checked twice. Bad acting? Checked ten times. The entire creative team behind the camera is amateurish to the extreme.
A good director would have reined in Gene Simmons. He has some acting ability, but left to his own devices he goes WAY too far over the top and becomes so silly it's stupid. John Stamos is John Stamos, and he could be barely passable in a movie like this, but the script and direction are so bad that he had no chance. Vanity looks great and is OK in her role. George Lazenby (one time James Bond) is wasted. And Robert Englund hams it up almost as badly as Gene Simmons does!
I wasted four bucks on a late afternoon matinee showing when this first came out, but it's not the money that bothers me, it's the two hours of my life that I never got back.
Awful, simply awful.
