Paynes tough love motivates the children and helps them to grow.but he also grows as a person through his concern for the children as well as a love interest.Payne is a killin machine, but the wars of the world are no longer fought on the battlefield.A career Marine, he has no idea what to do as a civilian, so his commander finds him a job - commanding officer of a local schools JROTC program, a bunch or ragtag losers with no hope.
Using such teaching tools as live grenades and real bullets, Payne starts to instill the Corps with some hope. But when Payne is recalled to fight in Bosnia, will he leave the Corps that has just started to believe in him, or will he find out that killin aint much of a livin. Both these things lead me to imagine that Major Payne has all the makings of a great cult comedy in the truest meaning of that term. If I were to offer anyone advice it would be to watch the first ten minutes of the film next time its on TV. If the style of humour seems amusing to you, settle in for the ride and youll probably be laughing out loud a LOT. ![]() Me I had thought from the trailers it was going to be dumb but it came on TV and I started watching. Straightaway I was laughing at the narration, Paynes excessively war-ey attitude (The sweet smell of mustard gas ) and his voice, which you will also either love or hate. Major Payne Torrent Movie Or HotI suspected it was going to be another one of those parody flicks like Scary Movie or Hot Shots, but was pleasantly surprised at the way it panned out. The story is by-the-numbers cliched stuff, but it is essentially played with a straight face - there are no winks to the camera. Yet it still works, because even though they dont let on that they know, you still know that the film-makers are aware how cheesy it all is, and in fact I think they are gently sending up all those inspirational feelgood movies, without being offensive towards them. This is achieved in part through Wayans stand out performance, and the blend of realistic (Paynes behaviour towards his charges is apparently mirrored in some real drill instructors) with ridiculous (a 6 year old military cadet) Also, the directors use of music is inspired - consistently over the top at the right moment (eg Respect) to heighten the humour. ![]() Already I would like to get a copy of this movie as there were many many quotable one liners I would like to see again - as I said, it has the makings of a cult classic. I would recommend it unreservedly to someone if I knew they liked this kind of humour; to everyone else. I should just add that although I was in the R.A.F cadets at school, and have a brother in the British army (a Major, no less) I have not been through the boot camp experience, yet still found the movie to be very funny. Bottom line though, I can see its not for everyone, so use your discretion. The story is taken from an old Chuck Heston film called Major Bensons Private War that took a serious military man and put him in charge of a group of children in an ROTC unit. ![]()
