#Birds of prey movie title movie#
Is it possible that, compared to their less verbose counterparts, movies with long titles are just … better? Does Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) have a critical leg up on the superhero movie competition, just by stuffing syllables onto its poster? Compared to recent flubs like Cats and Doolittle, which boast dinky one-word titles and horrible Rotten Tomatoes scores, these overly loquacious names seem indicative of a higher cinematic pedigree. The journey to reclaim Harley’s character clearly demanded a title that was as different from the 12-letter, four-syllable, two-word Suicide Squad as could be.īesides being mouthfuls, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan also happen to have high critical ratings, both sitting at 91% “fresh” on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. I'd really encourage more people to watch this, but it only exists on VHS and will probably never find its way to DVD.With 56 letters, 19 syllables, and 11 words, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) joins the ranks of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan in the annals of lengthy film titles. There's nudity but the women are unattractive and, in the end, the bad guys triumph. A car chase in this film lasts approximately two streets before the idiot behind the wheel crashes and the car spontaneously catches fire. "Birds of Prey" is filmed in the ugliest place on earth, which apparently is a place called Edmonton in Canada, and the attempts at bringing action footage are miserable. The cast and their performances would be hilarious if they weren't so damn pathetic. What the hell? Oh yes, the executions are taken care of by a female assassin (super-tough, of course) who sort looks like a mingling of Melanie Griffith in "Body Double" and Brigitte Nielsen in "Beverly Hills Cop II". They actually play pool together and visit each other's mother, but apparently have an agreement never to exchange information about their jobs.
What kind of cop has a criminal as his best friend. Harry just happens to be the best friend of badass cop Carlos Solo and he believes in his innocence. The super-mega pimp, who never shows his face but must be close to 90-years-old judging by the sound of his voice, commands the execution of several unimportant pimps and wants that small time crook Harry Card takes the blame for them. The slightly younger actors, including Jorge Montesi himself, all wear pornographic mustaches. They sure try to act tough, but they're obviously cheerful grandpas that Montesi recruited in an old folks home.
The lead pimps – the alleged true lords of the criminal underworld – are all elderly men, chubby and either bald or grey. The plot supposedly takes place in a big metropolitan city overruled by prostitution, corruption and dirty business.
Everyone in this production parades around like they're starring in the biggest gangster epic since "The Godfather", but basically the story and especially the characters are completely retarded and implausible. This seriously has to be one of the dumbest, dullest, most incompetent and wannabe hardcore action flicks I've ever seen in my life. Who? He's the writer/director/producer/editor and lead actor of "Birds of Prey".
