Editor's Note
Arnold Schwarzenegger and director John McTiernan join forces again in, THE LAST ACTION HERO, a heart racing thriller in which a young boy uses a magical ticket to infiltrate his favorite movie. Danny (Austin O'Brien) passes through the movie screen and into the whirlwind life of crusader Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger) becoming his sidekick. But when the villains learn that they too can travel back and forth between cinema and reality, it's up to Jack Slater to put a stop their havoc wreaking.Once a character in the "Jack Slater 4" film, Danny takes on the role of Slater's sidekick, and together they combat Vivaldi (Anthony Quinn), Benedict (Charles Dance), and The Ripper (Tom Noonan), an infamous troika bent on global malice. Trouble really however, when Benedict gets a hold of Danny's magic ticket, and travels to the real world laying waste to Times Square. Jack Slater leaves his cinematic bubble and follows the villain into reality--a reality where heroes don't always win. Like a prophet armed with fire, director John McTiernan uses explosive action and booming special effects to foretell of a time when hyper reality will be achieved with the ease of buying a ticket to a movie.

"...Rather smart....[With] some truly original and bizarro action scenes..." 12/01/2003 p.47James Berardinelli's ReelViews 7 of 10
Last Action Hero works as an unexpectedly witty comedy... There's hardly a plot device of the action film that goes without some kind of dig. The car chase, the shoot-out, the exploding vehicles and houses, the death-defying jumps, the triumph over impossible odds, the last-second escape--all of these, and more, are mercilessly lampooned...

1 of 5 No Widescreen on this DVD! :( Tuesday, August 26, 2008
Pete G. from Horsham, PA
The film, which is excellent! I purchased this DVD from Buy.com specifically because the Features and Aspect Ratio both indicate that this is the disc containing both Widescreen and Full Screen versions of the film. Widescreen only is completely out of print, and the Widescreen/Full Screen disc is very hard to find. If you want to see the Widescreen version of this film, don't waste your time and money like I did. Was this review helpful?  
4 of 5 Best Arnold one-liners!!! Friday, January 11, 2002
A Viewer from Tenafly, NJ
The first time I saw this movie I was 13 years old and we were in the theatre. I was always an arnold fan cuz of the action! But I never knew he could be so darn funny. All I remember in the theatre was that I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe! This movie has the best Arnold one-liners and sillyness. He says so many funny things! At least 20 phrases I have recorded and put on my computer as .wav files. I have seen this movie 15 times. To be honest, the first time you see it, it is really weird. But after seeing it 2 or 3 times you will really get all the jokes and appreciate the comedy! Any Arnold fan MUST own this DVD! Was this review helpful?
