You as a viewer better be very invested in her obsession with babies, because it’s going to make all the difference whether you connect with Carrie or not. Anyway, her being married is part of a running joke that Carrie really wants a baby. I had to pause the film when I heard that, because I always thought that every action hero star was a required to be single by Movie Law. Smith plays as the adorably named Carrie Winks, a helicopter transport pilot who’s actually married to a cop named Gordy. Somewhere along the way she was convinced she could act, so why not aim high by taking out terrorists with pluck and verve? Skyscraper was an effort to prop up the struggling acting career of Anna Nicole Smith, whose entire legacy was being in Playboy, marrying a very old guy, and getting in legal battles over money. There’s really no way that she would’ve been any worse than Bruce Willis sleepwalking through the fifth movie.) (For my money, I wish that Hollywood had made Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Lucy McClane the star of Die Hard 5, because she showed a gritty spark in Die Hard 4 that I quite liked. Scratch that - a good female Die Hard, as we got an attempt in 1996 with Skyscraper. Justin’s review: Considering the flood of Die Hard knock-offs that followed the 1988 classic, it’s kind of surprising that nobody ever made a female Die Hard. Justin’s rating: This movie needs to be handed a bathrobe and a lesson on modesty Putting the 'tic' in 'cinematic analysis' Follow super cult show super blog on WordPress.“See, that’s why you don’t want to have a baby - you’re married to the police department, not me!” The Supercult show is proud to present for your absurd drunken pleasure: Skyscraper! Some point out that the film is really only good for it’s gratuitous nudity, sex and even rape scenes saying, “Be prepared to do lots of fast-forwarding,” or bash Anna’s acting chops saying, “Smith, in her overweight glory, is constantly confused even when standing silently on camera.” But it’s Jason Anderson on Rotten Tomatoes that give’s us Supercultists the review we were looking for when he writes, “You may actually find yourself like me, drunk on the couch chuckling at the sheer absurdity of it all. Tragic though this story may be I prefer to imagine that Anna Nicole Smith is following in the footsteps of Elvis Prestly and, as an alien from Alpha Centauri and fugitive from the Men in Black, she is now jet setting around the Milky Way galaxy, pursuing her dream of becoming the next Marilyn Monroe…perhaps in a few years after everyone has gotten over Justin Beiber.Īudience reviews are the best source for insight into the enigma that is Skyscraper. It’s painfully obvious looking at some of the outtakes from the film that the crew struggled to keep the drug addled Anna on her feet for the duration of shooting. Skyscraper was made right after her playboy days, at the peak of her drug days. The audience rating is %19.Įven when she’s high as a helicopter she can still pull off that dress…no, wait, Anna, don’t pull off the dress! Skyscraper has a 2.4 on IMDB and only 1 review on Rotten Tomatoes rendering the critic score unavailable. Skyscraper stars Anna Nicole Smith, that one badguy from Robocop, and that one cop from the movie ‘The One’.ĭie Hard has an 8.3 on IMDB and a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Skyscraper’s box office numbers are not available on IMDB.ĭie Hard stars Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, and Reginald VelJohnson from Family Matters. Skyscraper was released 8 years later in July of 1996.ĭie Hard had a budget of 28 mil and grossed 137.4 mil worldwide. The best way to talk about Skyscraper is to contrast the two movies. One such redacted piece of history is the movie Skyscraper, a shameless rip-off of the enormously popular and infinitely more successful Die Hard. It’s almost as if Anna Nicole Smith was an extra terrestrial and the MIB have been covertly deleting particularly abysmal records regarding her activities here on Earth. This movie is actually characterized by the lack of information available for it. It’s surprisingly difficult to find stills from the movie that AREN’T topless Anna Nicole Smith.
