It’s going to produce all the energy the world could ever want once the Earth’s core is tapped.īut just like any great scientific advance that keeps America strong, a bunch of moronic eco-jerks from the terror group Equinox are determined to stop the Prometheus at all costs! Which means they send four guys to plant bombs and storm the rig! You know the credentials I’m talking about – Medal of Honor winner and court-martialed for playing by his own rules!Īfter wrapping up some soldier of fortune business in Columbia involving a miniature crossbow, Norton starts his new job as the head of security on the oil rig, Prometheus. Norton ( Not Another Mistake, Kick Fighter) plays John Harris, a mercenary with all the right credentials. Oh wait, that scene was lifted from Beneath the Bermuda Triangle! Never mind. Nautilus did feature a really nice action sequence involving a van ramming stuff, blowing up a bus, and a bunch of cop cars flying through the air. Nautilus had non-stop talking about whether some explosive charge was going to be set off in the earth’s core by a drill bit, chicks with giant wax clown lips, and Richard Norton in a role that put him in the background in favor of chattering old farts way too often. That one had non-stop action, cyborgs, Jeff Fahey in two roles (including one that necessitated a ratty wig and eyepatch), and a super old half-frozen bad guy. You can’t help but compare Nautilus unfavorably to the granddaddy of all submarine time machine movies, Beneath the Bermuda Triangle. Shithouse rats aside, Nautilus is pretty much a floater even by the relative non-standards of the time-traveling submarine movie genre. “He’s young, crazy as a shithouse rat and likes to play with bombs.” Again demonstrating that he’s the best at whatever it is he does, Australian kickboxing movie icon Richard Norton single-handedly tries to save the past, the present, the future, and most importantly of all, the movie from total cataclysmic collapse! Sometimes he does it by kicking punks in the head, sometimes by shooting them, and sometimes by giving us colorful dialogue you just don’t find in nearly enough movies.
