User Review - 10/10 by Jonathan HThe greatest movie EVER...and edited by the greatest editor on the planet!
User Review - 8/10 by Stephen TA rather funny film, if you can ignore the very poor at times production quality. The boom mic makes more appearances than some of the actors!!! lololol.
User Review - 8/10 by Andrew MGreat piece of film. I've watched twice already but it just gets funnier. "Did you know that all of chapter 5 in the Panasonic VCR manual is written in iambic patemeter?!"
User Review - 8/10 by Adam Bsuprising little "ab out film" movie. I went to the world premiere and really enjoyed it.
User Review - 6/10 by Steve MAn escaped lunatic (Shatner) holds a film crew hostage to force them to make his screen play. Meanwhile, love blooms between the creatively lazy diretor (Rinker) and his leading lady who, to show she can do something other than low-budget crap, has taken on a new identity... and is an actress pretending to be a struggling actress (Christie). "Shoot or Be Shot" is a fairly predictable and thoroughly unbelievable movie populated by stereotypes belonging to the bottom rung of Hollywood's film business--the low-budget outfits that have been the source of the vast majority of the film's reviewed on this very page. Despite the lack of surprises, the film offers up a large amount of laughs, and William Shatner is lots of fun as he cuts completely loose as a technical writer who snapped after writing one VCR instruction manual too many and who now has turned to screen writing. (It's even funnier that his character is probably the only one in the whole film who has any real talent.) Speaking of talent, there seems to be a bare minimum of it coming into play in this film. The script has some great jokes and Shatner is riot... and these elements by themselves keep this film slipping below the high end of average. Most of the featured actors give weak performances, and the director was unable to keep the reality of the film he created intact by engaging in the sort of sloppiness that should have gone out with the 1970s and which has no place in a movie that's satirizing low-budget filmmaking unless it's trying to self-ironic, which "Shoot or Be Shot" wasn't. (I can't go into details without revealing the ending--although any attentive viewer guess it well before the filmmakers reach it--but suffice to say that the movie that results from the tribulations of the film crew isn't one that anyone could possibly have shot.) With just a little more effort, this could have been a good movie instead of mediocre one. Shoot or Be Shot (aka "Shooting Stars") Starring: William Shatner, Harry Hamlin, Julianne Christie, and Scott Rinker Director: J. Randall Argue
User Review - 4/10 by R. Mike LEven William Shatner cannot help this turkey to be bad in a good way...
User Review - 4/10 by Brad GYeah, can't really recommend this one I'm afraid. Shatner makes ya chuckle a few times and I like Harry Hamlin but Julianne Christie and Dylan Ziegler are terrible. And as much as I love Tim Thomerson, his role is a waste. VF.
User Review - 2/10 by Sam Cif you can survive the first 2/3's of the movie, then the latter third is worth a watch just for 'the shatner'
