THE STORY: What is it with the word "blood"? It mixes with everything the way chocolate mixes with a lot things. Think about it. You can make a bunch titles out of the word blood and they all sound kind of cool, for a cheesy movie. Blood Sky, Blood heart, Blood Fire, Blood Fruit, Blood Nuts, Blood Bakery, Blood Eyes,...its endless.  Not that movies with those titles will ever win an Oscar. Well, this movie is Bloodfist VI. Its the first Bloodfist Movie I've ever seen and the first Bloodfist movie to enter the Blood Inferno.

Air force sergeant Nick Corrigan is a courier. He delivers messages and the like to different places around the Midwest. His mission today is to deliver a message to Major Paul Tilman, the commander of an underground Nuke base somewhere in the Midwest.

Unfortunately for Corrigan, its a bad day for Major Tilman. Tilman has been captured and the base seized by terrorists led by a guy named Fox. Heck, Tilman's main squeeze, airman Hymes is actually a terrorist undercover there. Serves him right in a way. Officers aren't supposed to be porking the enlisted babes. When Corrigan arrives Fox and his band of merry terrorists are forced to let him in the base lest they blow their plan. They force Tilman to comply and sign the needed paperwork to make Corrigan go away. Tilman manages to sneak his launch key for the missiles to Corrigan. Corrigan almost makes it out when Fox realizes what's happened. The base is locked down and now Sergeant Corrigan must fight for his life against the terrorists before they can get the key from him and decipher the launch codes.

Now, this entire situation would have been easier to resolve except that the Air force Strategic Air Command General, Carmichael, is a complete idiot. He refuses to listen to the counsel of his aides, Major Maren and Colonel Briggs. This forces poor sergeant Corrigan to fight a number of terrorists and get the beans kicked out of him a few times. After the officers on the surface realize that Corrigan's down there, Carmichael assumes he must be in with the terrorist for NO GOOD REASON. You see, General Carmichael is like most movie Generals. Stupid. Unlike real generals, Carmichael has about as much sense as a dead cactus. But then, like most military movie heroes, we find that Corrigan is an ex-special forces bad ass that was busted down for some goof up that can't be explained. That actually makes Carmichael look more foolish. Look at it this way...Carmichael doesn't trust Corrigan because of his 'blurred" record. But since he must have a Tip Top Secret clearance to be a courier, the governments already vouched for him!

Well, Corrigan has to open several cans of whoopass to win the day, but Carmichael isn't taking chances. Over the objections of Major Maren he decides to bomb the hell out of the base before the terrorists can launch the missiles. Fox has targeted every major US city. Why? I don't really know...at first Fox and his crew think its for money but it turns out that Fox is a middle east extremist guy. You'd never guess looking at him. This guy could pass for an Aryan Nazi any day! He's about as middle eastern looking as Anna Nicole Smith!

Anyhoo, Corrigan has no choice. The facility is locked down. He can't get out. If he can't defeat the bad guys and stop the launch then the bombers will blast the place to kingdom come! So he does what action heroes do best. He kicks a lot of ass! Corrigan manages to take out all of the terrorists except for Fox...because he has to face Fox in the end for the predictable movie showdown part. I'll save you the suspense....Corrigan defeats Fox. Then he disables the missiles saving the good old US of A.

This isn't Don "The dragon" Wilson's best movie. Its really predictable and for any military people watching it, just stupid. Why would this missile base have such a skeleton crew guarding it? A few Cub Scouts could have overwhelmed the perimeter! There's more protection at a bank then in this base! Well, As you know, Don Wilson is Corrigan. The real interesting bit is that Robin Curtis is Major Maren. Curtis is the chick that played Lt. Saavik in Star Trek III: The Search For Spock after Kirstie Alley left the series. Even though it was a pretty poor movie I'll say one thing...she looks pretty good in a uniform.

Best Lines: "Not twice, Sissy-Boy!"-  One of the terrorists when Corrigan tries to kick him in the nuts a second time.

1.) The officers in the control room are pretty lax. Now, they are Air Force officers, and I know the Air Force is a lot more laid back than the Army or the Marines. But still...I have yet to see a lieutenant tell a Major "You're fuckin' late." I don't see it. I was late to work once and a private said that to me without the profanity...I almost lost my mind. "Who the hell are you talking to, soldier?" You just DON'T do that in the military. Its not like a regular job! To make it worse one officer tells another "We need to find you a nice enlisted girl." Yeah...add fraternization to the list of sins, boys. I'm not saying that doesn't happen, but it is against the rules for officers to fraternize with enlisted personnel...especially the opposite sex! Look at what happened at Aberdeen a few years back! Ask Sergeant Major of the Army McKinney! I'm not going to worked up in a lather, 'cuz I think McKinney was probably innocent. If you really want my opinion you'll have to email me.

2.) Speaking of fraternization let me start this off by saying its hard to feel sorry for Major Tilman. He's been getting his jollies with an E-4!! (Think corporal or specialist...I have no idea what an E-4 in the navy is called though I can recognize naval E-4 rank insignia) An E-4 that is effectively UNDER HIS COMMAND! That's like, WAY wrong! For one thing the terrorists use her against him, threatening to harm her if he doesn't talk. I won't speak for the Air Force, though I'm sure they'd feel the same way...if the nations security was on the line and the bad guys wanted me to give them something that would allow access to nukes...well, threatening ONE soldier ain't gonna cut it. I'm certain my boss would watch me get cut to ribbons before he'd talk. Didn't the bad guys think about this? They don't just hand over nuclear responsibility to someone that'll fold that easily.

3.) It always amazes me how military generals are portrayed in movies. They're usually seen as utter buffoons that will absolutely not listen to any form of reason. Now, its not like I play golf with generals but I've met more than a few. Hell, I work for a Marine General that's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. The truth is folks you don't get to be a general without people skills. You don't get to be a general unless you're on top of things and listen to your subordinates. For that matter, any officer despite the rank that acts like the general in this movie wouldn't last too long. I just had to say that and hopefully spare some movie watcher the notion that all military officers are assholes. The majority of 'em are really good at their jobs and damn fine people. (and I add a cyber-wink to Lt. Colonel Phillips if he ever reads this, wherever he is now...one of the best officers I've ever worked for!)

4.) Okay...here's the uniform problems. Everyone who has ever read a review of a military movie on this site knows I'm going to do this. Now I didn't make it a point to notice the mistakes but here's what I came up with:

The personnel in Class A uniforms didn't have nametags on their jackets.

General Carmichael didn't have his shoulderboards on hen he was out of his jacket or a nametag.

Colonel Briggs and Carmichael both walked around with their hands in their pockets.

It could just be my TV...but it looks like the personnel in class B uniforms had OD green hats on. they're air force and the covers should be blue. Green is the color the army wears.

Again, it could be my TV, but Major Tilman's oak leaves looked silver instead of gold. They should be gold if he's a major. Silver is the color for a Lieutenant colonel.

NUDITY AND SEX:  Airman Hymes, played by Cat Sassoon, is seen topless.

HUH? :  Corrigan has a reason to be suspicious even before anything happens. The bad guy that greets him at the gate to the facility has a moustache and goatee! If Corrigan was a real Air force Sergeant he'd have been asking why the guy didn't shave! (Beards are not allowed! And before anyone asks, yes, if you have a medical reason for not shaving, like in-grown hairs you can be excused. But this guy's jawline was too smooth to buy that one, and you have to carry around the paperwork to prove it! A REAL sergeant would have noticed that and caught him on the spot.)

I didn't count all of the shot but when Corrigan gets into a firefight near the end of the movie he has two 9mm pistols. He fired way more shots than a 9mm clip holds. As long as I'm on that subject when Corrigan first encounters troubles he fires about nine rounds from a revolver without reloading. Its good to know some movie conventions will never die...the "unlimited bullet supply" being one of them.

After Corrigan win the day, Gen. Carmichael asks if there's anything he can ever do for him. Hey, if I just risked my life to save the entire United states,  I wouldn't know what to say to him. After all, if I lived through what Corrigan did I'd be like "Discharge me. Once is enough." Think about it. Corrigan just saved the entire country. Do you think he's going to have work again? I doubt it. It'd be under the table but I'm certain the President and Congress would make sure he was well off. Even if he stayed in the service he'd probably get some cush-job where the biggest danger was burning himself when the coffee's too hot. The man just saved America for Pete's Sake!

THE TALLY: This is a connect-the-dots plot. You don't have to expend any energy figuring anything out and thus its not that fun to watch. I like Don "The Dragon" Wilson, but this time he let me down. Character development would have helped...more action would have helped even though there was a decent amount of action, just not enough plot to carry it. More of Cat Sassoon nude would definitely have helped! Oh, well....you can't have everything you want...where would you keep it?
