Endangered Species (2002)




A Terminator style alien comes to earth to hunt humans and collect their skins. It's up to Eric Roberts to stop it before these aliens do what they did to the dinosaurs.

































CHARACTERS
RATING: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10

REVIEW: I'm sorry, this was fun as hell, and I imagine a blast to watch with an audience. This movie has zero fucks given - proudly pulling out everything in its bag of tricks from boobs to airborne exploding cars. I love that The Hunter just goes into places and merks every single person - it's insane. And the dialog is so bad, it's great for a laugh. A highly entertaining bad movie.

SYNOPSIS

The Hunter (Saulis Siparis) - a T-1000 type of alien. Cathy Carpenter (Monika Verbutaite) is working out at the gym. She heads to the locker room. [ This is the only film credit for Monika Verbutaite.] She talks to her friend Barbara (Egle Zakareviciute). [You'll note the Eastern European names. This was filmed in Lithuania.] Cathy takes a shower. In walks The Hunter and shoots Cathy in the eye. Barbara is able to hide in a locker and testify to the police later about what happened. The Hunter proceeds to kill every last person in the gym. Detective Sully (Eric Roberts) arrives at the gym massacre. Yamata (James W. Quinn) the medical examiner literally says, "Best damn body I've ever seen. Dead or alive." Detective Wyznowski (John Rhys-Davies) They discuss the case with hot-headed Captain Tanzini (Tony Lo Bianco). Sully tries to connect the dots, Charlie Day style. At the morgue, Yamata is examining Cathy's body.

Sully's wife Susan (Sarah Kaite Coughlan) waits for him to come home from work. She shows him her breasts when he arrives. Now we meet Warden (Arnold Vosloo); he's also an alien - but he's a good one. Warden is here to stop The Hunter. Sully arrests Warden for suspicion on the gym massacre. However, they don't have grounds to keep him in jail. Warden contacts his superiors. The Hunter arrives at seedy strip club. The hostess (Kristina Markelyte) greets the alien. The Hunter bashes her head on the desk, killing her. The bartender (Viktorija Soldatenko) is the next victim. Just as with the gym, The Hunter proceeds to kill every human being on the premises. Next, he battles the police. It's one amazing explosion after another. Warden and Sully join forces to stop The Hunter.

They manage to blow off The Hunter's arm. Yamata examines it, then is killed by The Hunter when he returns for his appendage. This Hunter is a total badass. He lights up the entire police station. The captain is wasted. Warden explains that their race killed the dinosaurs (!) - when Sully asks how they're able to communicate, Warden literally says, "Ever heard of a gorilla named Koko?" We see the true form of their alien race as The Hunter is destroyed. Warden also dies in the confrontation. Warden sets his spaceship to explode. Sully runs from the giant fireball. Sully brings home a pet mouse for his kids and he's named it "Warden". THE END

    I really liked this movie a lot, & it was no more intense nor violent than any X-Files episode so my rating for it would be "teenagers to adults", PG-13 or TV-14. One thing I liked was that it did not care about offending all the Cancel Culture morons out there, which is why this type of show or movie may never be made again which is sad.
