Chasers [DVD]

Chasers was a hysterical movie. The characters were well defined and it kept its humorous tone throughout the film.

It was a funny movie, but the movie producers are not familiar with Navy ranks or ratings. For one thing, it seems almost everyone in the Naval warehouse (including the cubicles in the office space) were E1, E2, or E3 (Seaman Recruit, Seaman Apprentice, Seaman). No petty officers shown except a chief petty office and master chief petty officer. I find that odd and inaccurate in a real Navy setting. There should be plenty of 3rd Class, 2nd Class, and 1st Class petty officers working in that warehouse environment. i also noticed by the rating badges that everyone shown was a Quartermaster. In a warehouse environment you'd expect to see at least Storekeepers present. In one scene the prisoner was referred to as a Seaman 2nd Class. There are no Seaman 2nd Class ranks. There is a Seama rank (E3), and a 2nd Class petty officer rank (E5), but no Seaman 2nd Class. If the person was a Quartermaster 2nd Class, they'd be referred to as QM2, or Quartermaster 2nd Class. Other than the inaccuracies of the Navy rank and ratings, and the fact that the majority of the workers in the warehouse (including the two shore patrolmen) were Seaman (E3) and below, I found the movie entertaining.

Tom Berenger funny as all get out!

This is a funny excellent movie!

By odd coincidence the only two times I was this movie is when is twice (a few years between both viewing) when I stayed in a hotel in White Settlement, TX rather than drive all the way back home to Plano, TX during drill weekends. It was the only thing on the hotel channels that was interesting.As far as the movie itself, it wasn't meant to be a believable story but meant to be a showcase for some quirky pleasant personalities interacting in a movie and it does a good job at that.I've read a few other reviews and they said the movie was filmed in South Carolina. I was in the military for a year in the area and didn't notice that it was in South Carolina, not like that movie in downtown Chicago (The Fugitive) where I lived as a small kid and still recognized it decades later. Of course though I can count the times I was left off base (and not get punished for it) with one hand.

Actually a pretty decent movie, kind of a rip-off of Last Detail, but really not bad. Tom Berenger is a pretty decent portrayal of an old school CPO. The Seaman deuce is not very likable or believable. A fast dealer like him should of been at least a 3rd or 2nd class P. O. The super hot girl not really believable as the prisoner, but it just a movie. Any relationship between this and the real Navy is just nuts, but still it just a movie.

Excellent metaphorical tale of the internal personal and social (subconscious) presence and split of the Senex and Puer eternus aspects and the missing yet desired but hidden and devalued "feminine" aspects - and the process of recognition - conflict - and integration - and the birth of "the third" position...

This is a movie I had seen on TV a couple of times and finally managed to track down on DVD.It was well worth it. The copy I have is remastered for 5.1 Home Theatre and in 16:9 widescreen.The picture quality doesn't stand up to todays films but was still much better on DVD than it would have been on VHS.The movie itself is fairly light hearted and entertaining similar to many other action/comedy/romance type movies & shows of the 80 & 90s. If you are a fan of those classic movies and programs like beverly hills cop, baywatch, police academy etc this movie would slot right in. If you are a fan of Erika Eleniak then this is a must have that you will not regret purchasing.

Für mich hätte CHASERS das Zeug für eine Kinoauswertung in Deutschland gehabt. Die DVD bietet diesen unterschätzten Film nun endlich mit guter Bildqualität und in Deutsch für alle Fans des 90er Jahre - Films.

Ich habe eine Ewigkeit darauf gewartet bis diese herrliche Militärklamotte auf DVD veröffentlicht wurde!!Toller Film!!

Super et en francais

Die drei Sterne gibts nur für den Film. Die Qualität der DVD ist extrem schlecht ...

très bien
