Chameleon II: Death Match (1999) Reviews

• Predator meets Diehard in a half decent picture

  begger2000-12-26

  If anything positive should be said about "Chameleon II: Death Match" its that it IS entertaining. The cast also does a surprisingly good job of working with the B movie script. My largest complaint is that its almost a complete rip-off of classics like "Die Hard and "Predator". And Bruce Willis didn't need to be invisible to take out Hans. But however unoriginal the story is it is no worse than its predecessor its just 11 years too late... The special effects used to make Bobbie Phillips vanish are impressive although that is basically a known element to the series. It is still impressive regardless. Also various lighting effects made this pleasurable from a tech standpoint to watch. The formula is so used that it is painful to watch at points. The black women in charge but out of the action, the robbers who feel that they are in complete control (where do they get this idea?) and go through the process of their robbery like Hamlet making a choice, and the cliched lines make this film seem like the mother of all sequels. If it wasn't so easy to find the many parallels throughout to films I have seen before I would have no problem giving this movie higher than a 6.5 . Its unoriginality is so blatant that I am forced to hand a flat 6 to this high quality B Movie. Worth the watch if your local Video store is robbed and they leave this movie and "Water World".

• Bobbie Phillips shines as Chameleon

  Bobbie Phillips did an amazing job as a part-human,part-sub created to battle evil. It's the stuff B movies are made of,but her interpretation raised it to an A for sure.Her strength and subtleties kept me entranced! It's great to see an attractive female in an action role that maintains intelligence and believability! I hope to see her in more of these types of roles!

  Oh dear! Yet another "Die Hard" clone, with lots of murky photography, running up stairwells and climbing down lift shafts. But Bobbie Phillips is a likeable and attractive lead and the upbeat ending is a welcome surprise.

• The only reason to watch this is Bobbie Phillips

  This film has it all: bad acting, virtually no plot, and terrible editing. The only possible reason to see it other than boredom from having nothing else to do is to watch Bobbie Phillips, a truly beautiful woman. I sense she has more talent than could be utilized in this sub-par film.

• Bad Acting, Bad Story, Even the Beauty of Bobbie Phillips Cannot Save This Clone of Die Hard

  A group of VIPs including Henry Kubica (John Waters), a high-executive of the Corporation, is kidnapped by a gang of robbers in a building of a casino, which is protected by a state of art security system. Kam (Bobbie Phillips), the human hybrid and IBI (International Bureau of Investigation) agent, together with another IBI agent, infiltrate in the group, trying to get enough information to organize the rescue of them without jeopardizing the safety of Kubica. However, she realizes that there are much more interests for the Corporation that the safety of the persons. This movie is really a bad clone of Die Hard, having bad story and ham actors and actresses. The beauty of Bobbie Phillips is not enough to save this film. Anyway, Bobbie Phillips and the surprising end of the plot are the best this movie can offer. The parts I and III of Chamaleon are better and better. My vote is four. Title (Brazil): `Sedutora e Fatal II: Inimigo Mortal' (`Seductive and Fatal II: Mortal Enemy')
