The Last Patrol Movie
Storyline
TAGLINES
Welcome to the island of California.
After the final earthquake... welcome to the island of California.
The future depends on one man.
An earthquake measuring 9.5 on the Richter Scale splits California into an island with a perpetual dustcloud hanging over it. The survivors of the terrible ordeal have started to come together in the shape of Nick Preston (Dolph Lundgren) an air force captain, and other fractions of the military, including Sarah McBride and Lucky Simcoe, and have situated themselves in a warfare junkyard, holding weaponry from forgotten conflicts. They are searching for food, fuel and fellow survivors, and a possible path into the next world, while also dodging a violent plague that causes the skin to boil.

Bwahahaha! Dumb, but i enjoyed it.
posted on 17 Mar 2009The storyline may have been a trifle preposterous around the edges as far as California becoming an island in just a few minutes. It will happen millions of years in the future as California is made of two tectonic plates moving in different directions, but the process is very slow and will take lots and lots of earthquakes to do. But i'm nitpicking here. I just went along with the movie's concept for at least at the moment even if it did make me groan at the silliness of it.California was isolated? Oh? And there was magically no longer such things as boats and various forms of aircraft?I didn't quite understand where the weird diseases were coming from. Was there ever an explanation? I must have missed it while being distracted by the yuck factor of the throbbing cysts.The production values were sort of passable. A lot better than i was expecting them to be. Israel kind of looked like the southwest USA. Close enough for government work, anyway.Too much sloppy screenplay in places. Making changes to the screenplay and tightening it up here and there is one of the cheaper aspects of movie production, so even if this was a low budget movie, there's no excuse for not having worked over the screenplay a bit more. Sometimes, some of the scenes have a first-draft-version feel to them. A bit more screenplay work would have left the movie a little less too-much-cheesoidness.Dolf looked too old to be a captain. At his age, his character should have been probably a been Lt. Col or such. A captain is usually someone in his mid or later 20s. But Dolf was enjoyably Dolf-y. What? After all these years, he still has a very noticeable Swedish accent? His accent worked well for the character of He-Man, but maybe not so well for being an "all-American" army officer. You'd think he would hire a language coach to help him lose the accent so he could play his American characters with more authenticity.The psycho baddies were a hoot. All those orange jumpsuits lent an aspect of genuine surrealism.OK. This movie was dumb. But it entertained me for some unknown reason and i actually watched it all the way to the end. It was a guilty pleasure, i admit.
I watched this movie so you don't have to.
posted on 21 Feb 2009Question. How do you tell when a movie is really bad?1: The hero is an ex-Green Beret rebelling against the system.2: It has the hackneyed plotline that the world has ended and only a few exceptional people can save the day. This genre was old when 'Mad Max' rumbled on to the screens, but its still being churned out with ever-decreasing budgets. After all, any wannabe director just needs a camera; a few friends decked out in army surplus, some beat up vehicles and a free weekend in the desert. Add suitably ruined industrial plants and bad acting to taste and you are on the way to video immortality.The big budget productions feature kickboxing cyborgs.The Last Patrol has no kickboxing cyborgs.3: Voiceovers to explain the plot. Studios tack these on after the movie is edited when they realise what a complete hash they have on their hands.. A good movie doesn't need someone bored out of their mind reading lines into a microphone.Unless they're Humphry Bogart - and he's dead.4: It has a urine-drinking scene. There is an episode of BlackAdder where they attempt to sail round the world. Things become so desperate they have to drink their own urine. The same thing happens about halfway through The Last Patrol - I was tempted to join in the onscreen misery.5: When the 'making of' feature and publicity materials don't feature the lead actor. Something happened during the production and they no longer want to be associated with it as it may hurt future work. In retrospect that was a very wise move Mr. Lundgren, possibly a little late, but a good idea none the less.At this point I should make it clear I like bad movies. there is nothing like a good cheap movie to round off a Friday night. The Last Patrol even starts of promisingly. A massive earthquake (illustrated by spectacular special effects lifted straight out of 'Dante's Peak' hits California. An isolated military base in the high desert is cut off from civilisation. Somehow Dolph Lundgren (playing the part of an ex Green Beret who rebelled against the yadda. yadda.) must keep things together and rebuild civilisation.At this point the movie takes its inspiration from the plot and everything falls apart.The scriptwriter had a bad attack of writers' block, reached into the cliché cupboard and grabbed *everything*.So, the commander is suitably heroic and square jawed. He's suitably macho to handle the action, but in touch with his feminine side when he needs to talk to children. The troops are rebellious, (but never mutinous); there is a bubble-headed useless blonde stripper to get in the way and a power-mad maniac out to take over the world. Would you even believe that there is a gratuitous excuse for a shower scene? Oh you would. you are way ahead of me.All these characters (and I use the term loosely) are thrown into what passes for a plot featuring shifts in the Earth's axis, genetic mutations, plagues, private prisons and someone in communion with God. (No really!)If it was a couple of minutes long, The Last Patrol might make an interesting trailer - after all they aren't meant to explain anything. A good trailer makes lots of noise, raises questions about the plot and draws in the audience. At 100 minutes, The Last Patrol is one hell of a long trailer - unless (and this is a scary thought) this is the teaser for an entire series of post apocalyptic fun.Usually reviews are meant to concentrate on scripting and acting - I can't be that cruel to the cast. They had bad lines and they did a lousy job.Special effects? Well if you've seen Dante's Peak you've already seen the best of them. The rest is the usual cheap prosthetics left over from the Halloween clearance sale and things exploding for no very good reason.The producers didn't even choose a very nice piece of desert. In most of these movies you can amuse yourself by looking out for that strange rock where Captain Kirk once fought the lizard man. Not here.Somehow this mess cost $8.2 million. I'm not sure where the money could have gone. Perhaps they each had a couple of drinks from the hotel minibar?So is there anything positive to say about The Last Patrol? Ummm. there is a very sweet child who actually doesn't get on your nerves and a golden retriever with a natural talent that shines through and puts everyone else to shame.Anything else? No not really, I just hope everyone got a good tan in the desert.Any recommendations? To Mr Lundgren; get a new agent. To the kid; it's not too late to change your name, your secret is safe with me - no one else will ever know that you were in this film. To the rest of the cast; overacting is not the same as acting really hard. To the dog; pick your roles more carefully in future, no one likes failure in Hollywood and you do want to work again.Final thoughts?Needs kickboxing cyborgs.
Oh Dolph, what have you done??!!
posted on 07 Nov 2008Dolph Lundgren, the man who took on Rocky, the man who punished the guilty, the man who chased an "Assh*le from outerspace," the man whotook on the Yakuza feet first, or raced a ferrari through California terrain, went one on one with Van Damme..........the man who was He-man!
Allright, enough nostalgia, us Dolph Lundgren fans know what the man has been capable of, and thats why we love him.......but its also why we must painfully witness what he is becoming..............No details from me here, the Last Patrol is a horrible movie (also this comes from a Sheldon Lettich fan, equally disappointed).......a movie that justs wastes the 35 mm used to film it.But hey, on the bright side, once you've hit rock bottom, there is no other way but up.
Ineffective,low budget fodder
posted on 22 Jun 2008STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All CostsNick Preston (Dolph Lundgren) is an army captain who's in trouble with the president.One day,he stops to offer assistance to a baptist preacher named Rainbow (Brook Susan Parker),and her class of school children whose bus has broken down.Suddenly,a massive earthquake,measuring 9.5 on the richter scale strikes,seperating California in to an island along the San Andreas fault.Preston is seperated frpm the people he is helping and emerges from all the destruction in a junk yard holding weaponary from past conflicts with some other survivors,among them Air Force Captain Sarah McBride (Sherri Alexander),Marine Seargent Lucky Simcoe (Joe Michael Burke) and his hare-brained young wife Candy (Rebecca Cross).As a group they search for food,fuel and fellow survivors,along with Preston's individual search for Rainbow,who he now believes had some kind of psychic premonition that the disaster was going to happen,and the children.They must also a dodge a violent,skin boiling plague and a new enemy in the shape of Mexicano death row convict Jesus (Juliano Mer),his girly-voiced former geologist sidekick Simon Peace (Chanan Elias) and their army of prisoners.It's odd since a previous reviewer stated that the film had an $8.2 million budget,but I don't think I've ever seen a Dolph Lundgren movie in my life with production values as shoddy as this one.The budgetary constraints are laughably apparent from the beginning.The film is set in California,America,yet in a very early scene,we see Dolph driving down a freeway in his milatary jeep and,along the way,he passes some British road signs,including a bend to the left sign and a turn left marker.That,the use of some video recorder footage (including some shot of some religious fanatics and outside a burning liqour store) and a shot stolen from the movie Dante's Peak certify that this sure ain't no major studio production.Even the front cover looks cheaply slapped together.The uninspired,cliched post apocalyptic storyline had some inventive,enjoyable angles that might have worked here and there,had the actual story itself not been so incoherent and confused in it's execution.The scene has the bad guy named Jesus perhaps as some kind of twisted role reversal on the creation of man in the new life (when a guy named Jesus was our saviour in the last one) but it's one of too many said clever ideas that the film keeps trying to throw in our direction in a failing attempt to try and make it more than the sum of it's parts.Speaking of which,Mer's villain is woefully inconsistent,though not terribly engaging in the few scenes he does occupy anyway.Enjoyable on exceedingly few levels,The Last Patrol is a film that's so degradable it hasn't even had it's premiere on Channel 5 yet.And if that ain't bad,you tell me what the hell is.**
not half as bad as what people say.
posted on 14 Jun 2008I got this DVD for 3 pounds! and it kept me entertained for 90 mins. It's definitely a strange movie and has a very low budget. The film is directed by Sheldon Lettich mostly known from working with a certain Mr Van Damme with movies such as A.W.O.L and Double Impact.The movie is directed well and looks more expensive than it cost to make.The story is about the aftermath of California after an earth quake that reaches 9.5 on the Richter scale which leaves California a no-mans land. We follow a bunch of survivors lead by Dolph Lundgren and he is good in his role as the army captain leader. There are plenty of shooting and explosions and overall not a bad movie.
Last temptation (To just shut the movie off)
posted on 09 Feb 2008Dolph Lundgren stars as Nick Preston, a soldier who survives an earth quake that separates California from the US and it is hinted that it was a global earth quake, so we are left pondering if it is only California or the whole world that has entered the apocalypse stage. Anyway there is a prison that survived and the leader looks to take over the world but before he can do so he must fight Dolph Lundgren. Dolph Lundgren is actually not too shabby in his role, he actually delivers a performance that has charisma and likability that is convincing to his character. Also Sherri Alexander isn't too shabby either and their chemistry has a few moments but generally this movie is too dull to be considered all that watchable. The Last Warrior is consistently frustrating because Lundgren will get into a good speech about the world being devastated and Lundgren manages to sell it, however the movie never shifts focus on this plot angle and instead figures to settle on the battle between Lundgren vs the prisoners. This part of the story can work if it has, oh I don't know, Action. The Last Warrior is the worst type of movie that nobody wants to see. It is a plot driven actioner without plot or action. We are left with so many confusing moments (Such as the mutant goats and their mutant owner, a woman who can make it rain and Lundgren rescuing a horse.) Truly this would have been watchable had the action angle or science fiction angle had been explored but because it isn't we are left to watch a sitcom like actioner that will surely disappoint Lundgren fans.* out of 4-(Bad)
Mad Max 2 + Right Wing Christianity = C Grade Silliness
posted on 23 Aug 2007This is a strange little film which fortunately I only rented for a dollar at my local vid shop. There are so many silly scenes that the film is constantly verging on slap stick comedy, but it never quite reaches the level of "Spoof" because it does at it's heart take itself seriously. I've seen a lot of comments regarding it's lack of plot. But in my opinion the plot isn't supposed to have anything to do with ...SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!action heros, or science fiction concepts, it's about learning to have faith in God. This is a film about right wing Christian ideals (Specifically Baptist ideals). The action sequences and science fiction concepts are paper thin because they are window dressing. When I recognised that the film is essentially a Christian moral tale (ie - the whole climax of the film is Dolph sacrificing himself in order to save the kids and woman in the Baptist Church bus), I found the film entertaining in a surreal and bizarre way.I do agree with other posted comments which state the sci-fi elements in Last Patrol are absolutely ludicrous. But I get the feeling this film designed to be screened to 10 - 15 year olds at Bible study camps to demonstrate the sacrifices people with faith in God make (like L. Ron Hubbard's `Battlefield Earth'), so the film makers really didn't focus on creating a story meant to entertain adults.SPOILERS END!!As a genuine film (if you take into consideration gigantic plot holes, implausibilities, characters who are laughable yet take themselves seriously), I give this film a 2/10. Due to the film's subtext (see spoilers), I give it an extra 2 points because I it was a surreal and bizarre experience. Praise God!!
See another movie!
posted on 12 Dec 2006I have read some of the other comments and felt the need to express myself! For those who gives this flic more than a 3 rating must have seen another movie because this one is bad and very disappointing.. An earthquake changes our society and everything has changed. A good starting point. Unfortunately after about 3 minutes you will be confined and find yourself in an infinite emptiness for wasting 3 minutes of your life. The actors are acting bad, but the director has directed them very bad. All the scenes are weird because the actors looks like they know that this is bad. With stiff movements (very robot like) and uncertain actors, the art of acting is put to question. If you have gone to an acting school you should have passion for acting, and none of the actors represented in this flic shows passion for their work. The only good actors are the children! Another thing is the storyline and the direction of the movie. Sure the "fighting" is good, but are they trying to make fun of the action genre or do they actually want this? The Policeman running away from his car into the desert to escape the monsters (who are not there) and the school/church leader being a godlike something (with magical powers to control the weather)? Realistic/Likely? .. no it's just silly and sad.If you want to see a really bad movie and have good company who wants to have a good laugh, you should reconsider seeing this one! .. If you want the definition of a really bad action movie, see it! Me, i will let my memory erase the scars with time!
Fun
posted on 27 May 2005'The Last Patrol' feels eerily like a prequel to Van Damme's 'Cyborg', which began as a sequel to Dolph Lundgren's live-action 'Masters of the Universe'. In fact, replace the German pirates of 'Cyborg' with the Mexican geologists of 'The Last Patrol', and they could very well be the same movie. Not really, but you get my point hopefully.Welcome to the island of California, in the early 21st century. An earthquake measuring 9.5 on the Richter scale has separated California from the rest of America. Naturally, this is an alternate universe in which Arnie never became Governator, and thus was not around to use his awesomeness to stop this devastating earthquake. Camping out at a military junkyard, Nick Preston (Dolph Lundgren) is an Army Captain who leads a group of survivors including Air Force Captain Sarah McBride, an Army sergeant 'Lucky' Simcoe and some civilians. Meanwhile, a bad-guy named Jesus and his evil-geologist partner have taken over a prison and are intent on taking out the remnants of the military. Unfortunately for the bad guys, the 'remnants of the military' include Dolph Lundgren...So the story is something we've been told before, many many times, except this time it has Dolph Lundgren, who brings in a great sense of awesomeness. I was entertained, even if the movie was a bit slow at points. As to be expected from a Dolph Lundgren movie, there were some plot points brought up early on in the movie and then were hastily resolved, or remained unresolved entirely. The police officer promised dangerous killer mutants. Dagnabbit, what happened to the killer monster-mutants? Despite the movie being a little slow at times, there were some nice action sequence, and the battle at the end was exciting. Dolph even throws a brick at a bad-dude's head. I can honestly say I haven't seen that outside of 'Home Alone 2', and I found it incredibly funny in both films. Other than that, I don't think Dolph's character ever fired a gun at any point in the movie, leaving a lot of Dolph fighting hand-to-hand, and a lot of Dolph acting.'The Last Patrol' is an entertaining action B-movie. Avoid it if you don't like Dolph Lundgren, otherwise, enjoy - 6/10
Good entertainment!
posted on 07 May 2005My husband recently rented this on DVD (it was his turn to choose and it surely wasn't going to be a chick-flick). At first I thought it would be one of those boring male testosterone movies but was quite surprised.The storyline kept me interested and so did Dolph's good looks (although the hubby preferred his attractive co-star, Sherri Alexander). I must admit they were a great pairing. I especially enjoyed the action scenes and the more intimate moments with Nick Preston and Sarah McBride. Candy, on the other hand, really grated on my nerves.There's a lot of action, a little romance (or hints thereof) and a few cute scenes thrown in for some comic relief (ie, runaway horse, Dolph getting punched out by a woman :o>, a drunk air force captain). I have highly recommended this to many of my friends and co-workers.
Plot? What plot?
posted on 20 Mar 2005First of all, I have no idea why this thing is in this database at all.Why?This is an Internet MOVIE Database, is it not?Let's, then, define what a movie is. It's something that involves characters acting out a plot, right? Well, this has neither.Characters? They're flat and simple. Everyone's so predictable and dumb that I find it really hard to call them "characters" at all.Plot? Like I said, what plot? Okay, a big earthquake severs California off the rest of the American continent. That's fine. Now let's roll a die and pick from a Big List O' Ideas. Bad Ideas. Hey, dammit, it's only an earthquake, so: [SPOILERS] (1) why do mutations spread within days? (2) why does all the visible world turn to a desert, and all the world's population seems to have died out? (3) why is all communication disrupted and no large-scale military search-and-rescue operations? (4) why is the Earth's axis shifted?? now ask any physicist why an earthquake can't cause that. (5) why are the world's waters toxic all of a sudden? ... must I go on? The screenplay writer was apparently in the middle of a huge writer's block, and he went to talk to someone, whom he asked: "what should I make the plot revolve around? Mutants? Toxicity? Natural catastrophies? World anarchy? Planetary disasters?" His conversation partner must've, jokingly, answered, "all of it". And the screenplay dude took that seriously. Ouch.Okay, I've seen many Dolph Lundgren movies, they were mostly B movies, but fun and relaxing B movies. I watched this one, hoping it to be another. And I ended up hacking my way through completely nonsensical plot and dialogues so corny that I laughed through most of the most "serious" scenes. So much for pathos.This is Mad Max without the kick-ass characters and plot. This is Volcano with aliens coming out from the lava. This is Armageddon with a big green lump of toxic space moss instead of the asteroid. This is Waterworld with a giant squid monster and no dry land plot, and Costner turning out to be an Allah's prophet.Stay away. Stay very far away. Watching the news for the fifth time might prove more entertaining. 1/10.
A cross between Mad Max and The Postman
posted on 14 Feb 2005A movie for all Dolph Lundgren fans to enjoy. Not that bad for being extremely low budget. I thought they had an interesting concept with an earthquake turning California into a island. I also enjoyed Lundgren's narration throughout the movie. It's also well worth it to watch the perky and sexy Rebecca Cross (as Candy) dancing around this movie. Why hasn't she been in any movies lately?[SOME SPOILERS]I didn't understand why people were dying and had bubbles forming on their faces and on the top of their heads. Like that crazy milkman with the mutated goats. That was never explained in the movie. But the movie did a good job keeping you interested in the characters. Towards the end I thought Candy was killed but I was very relieved to find out that she was alive and being held prisoner. That really made the mission into the prison with all those crazies more heart-pounding. If your a fan of Kevin Costner's "The Postman" (I know there aren't many of you) you should enjoy this small-scale post-apocalyptic adventure.
Better than i thought!
posted on 03 Oct 2004This exceeded my expectations, as i have seen all of Dolphs latest films before this one and they have all been flawed although still watchable. I thought the main plot was pretty good and Dolphs performance was possibly his best. Sheldon Lettich directs precedings quite well and shows the experience that some directors of Dolphs other more recent films usually fail in. All in all this film is very similar to Stephan Kings "The Stand" although with more action, and it even has the strong religously orientated end as well which for me being a non-believer ruined the film just a little,i think this is deserving of 8/10.
I only viewed film to see Rebecca Cross
posted on 20 Feb 2004Being a big fan of Rebecca Cross meant I had to see her in this movie. She was terrific in the movie. The movie was average only. This is her best role yet. Seeing her in the movie was of course best part of the movie, and worth the cost of the rental.
Review of the last patrol
posted on 22 Sep 2002Doulf Lundgren was the strongest feature of this film, his narrations where good and reflective. And in the beginning he had an excerlent American accent but then it started to go Swedish!The other actors in the film gave typical B movie performances that where comical and humour like. So it was a B-movie action comedy for a while.The best parts of the film where Dolph going off the rails a little and getting a little too controlling (like in Universal soldier), and his small bits of action with his Karate moves, when the action finally kicked in.At the end there's a nice positive message narrated well by Lundgren though but the film was a little too unbelievable, shallow, and lacked detail.35% of 100%
How Do These Movies Get Finance?
posted on 06 Sep 2002The Last Patrol was one of those movies I forced myself to sit through. On pretty much every level I was left disappointed. The plot, the characters, continuity and the ending.For some reason I had respect for Dolph but after a flick through his filmography I could only obviously recommend Universal Soldier. He was the only element of this production that offered any attraction but, while he went through the motions pretty well, he was surrounded on all sides by the mediocre and the ridiculous.I'm sure that some of the scenes could maybe have been reworked and the overall plot could maybe have been dragged into more respectable territory but the characters were, overall, poor. Those who were meant to be funny were just annoying and with the possible exception of McBride, there was a general lack of depth.I just don't understand how these movies make it to DVD - we're obviously not talking big budget here but where's the quality control guys?
Classic Dolph
posted on 11 May 2002Out of all the lame action stars the 80's an 90's brought to us, there's one that will always remain my favorite: Dolph Lundgren. This movie is a classic Dolph film. When was the last time Arnie threw a brick at a guys face? 1985? Last I heard, he was working on Jingle All the Way 2. Dolph stayed in great shape for his age, and delivers the melodrama and unreal action that has made me like action heroes ever since I was a kid. It's this type of movie that reminds me of when Action heroes were tough. Guys like Micheal Dudikoff, Chris Christopherson, and Dolph Lundgren made good films that didn't need a bunch of cookie cutter acting. Guys like Stallone and Arnie needed to prove they could act for some reason. Leave acting to the actors and leave action to the men.
Curiously Interesting
posted on 29 Sep 2001This movie is not what I expected from the DVD's cover or from some of the reviews posted here. There have been countless post-apocalyptic, Mad Max clones and rip-offs but this movie differs from most in that it takes a lot of time to get to the running around and shooting scenes. Time which is spent on character and atmosphere.The story is just as full of holes and "what the hell are they talking about?" moments as any other cheapo SF flick (for instance were we really expected to believe that that fine, healthy horse had been stuck in that box in the middle of the desert for weeks!? And I'm not sure the whole weird disease, pain relief ward run by desperate murderers and psychos thing made any sense at all.) But there was so much other weirdness floating about that I got the idea things might be explained / resolved by the end. They weren't, but the air of weirdness: the sudden strange Christian Voodoo rain magic thing, the cons standing in the blazing sun drinking their own urine and watching (worshipping?) their Hispanic leader Jesus on massed TV screens, the almost dreamlike quality of some of the scenes carried me through to the end.This may not be a great movie (or even a good one) but it sure as hell is a lot more interesting than 90% of the cheap, explosion driven, crap that masquerade as SF movies out there.Incidentally if you watch this on DVD check to see if there is a "making of" featurette. It's pretty standard fare but look out for the producer(?) trying to hide his astonishment they could find decent actors in Israel. His hair is incredible. Scariest thing I have seen all week. It's like Arch Hall's in Eegah!, only more so. I hope it was a wig.
Dolph Lundgren is back to save the world.............
posted on 29 Nov 2000Dolph Lundgren stars as a soldier who must exterminate a group of crazy prisioners (Led by Juliano Mer) and protect fellow survivors when the world is destroyed by a 9.5 earthquake.The Last Warrior is at least watchable (Unlike Agent Red,Jill The Ripper and The Minion) The film suffers from predictability and a story that's muddled up. The Last Warrior is watchable movie that fails to live up to it's potentional.The Last Warrior is probally Lundgren's best since Blackjack....Hopefully he hits the mark with Hidden Agenda.** (Out of four)
Garbage
posted on 24 Apr 2009This is garbage. The plot is terrible. We are supposed to believe that there is an Earthquake in California and all of the sudden a secret prision and a group of soldiers met by some stragglers are the last people on Earth? That the Earth's axis would shift? In the beginning we are told that the Earthquake occurred along the San Andreas fault in California. Than why does the ocean that separates Cali and the mainland start where Las Vegas used to be. No explanation is given for the mutated milk man and goats. The psychic religion teacher who can make rain and predict "big changes." Now for the ending. Anyone who saw it will understand how terrible it was. Our hero drives a car w/ a bomb strapped on the top onto a prison and jumps out 5 feet away from the explosion only to return at the end. Rent this movie only to help the economy.
