| User ReviewNick MBack in the 1990s Mark Dacascos was a rising action star. He didn't reach the level of Van Damme or Schwarzenegger, but his low rent flicks are sometimes very enjoyable trash cinema. Boogie Boy is a prime example of that kind of trash. |
| User ReviewJochen WEine jener obskuren kleinen Perlen, die man in den filmhistorisch noch kaum aufgearbeiteten Weiten des DTV-Kinos der 1990er Jahre hin und wieder entdecken kann. Originell insbesondere darin, wie er sich zwischen alle Genrestühle setzt und darin durchaus unberechenbar bleibt: BOOGIE BOY ist nur am Anfang und am Ende Actionfilm, dazwischen mäandert er relativ freiflie�end zwischen Drogendrama, Musikfilm und hippieesker Aussteigerphantasie. Immer ein wenig neben der Spur, und mit dem charismatischen und stets unterschätzten Marc Dacascos - neben Frederic Forrest, Traci Lords, Joan Jett und weiteren interessanten Darstellerentscheidungen - auf den Punkt besetzt, entspinnt sich ein entspannter, verschrobener und merkwürdig faszinierender Film im typischen, meist etwas angeschrabbelten 90er-Videopremieren-Look. |
