How would you rate Jack Slater IV on IMDB?


Ok, you have to pretend the parts outside of Jack Slater IV didn't exist in The Last Action Hero for this to work.

We don't know the entire story of JS4 thanks to the interventions of real life altering the story, but there was a decent movie in there. Great soundtrack right off the bat with the Megadeth song 'Angry Again'. The setup of the main villains, followed by tons of action all within the first 10 minutes. The car chase at the beginning is pretty exciting, lots of explosions and gunplay, and incredible driving stunts.

Would much of the content have remained fairly similar without Danny arriving in the movie? Would the Fart funeral sequence have played out the same more or less, with the shootout, helicopter and La Brea tar pit scene? Would Danny's character kind of been replaced by the daughter Whitney?

I tend to think, with the high quality of production, witty dialogue, and star power of Jack Slater IV, we're looking at least a 7 rating on IMDB from Me, maybe a 6 if the goofball dialogue of the antagonist would be too stupid to bear. But, a 7 is where I'm starting out from on this one.

I assumed that if Danny wasn't in it, Whiskers the cat would have been Jack's partner. Though how Jack would have been saved from getting blown away by Practice is ambigious. I'd certainly watch Jack Slater 4 if it was a real movie.

I didn't remember to consider Whiskers, good catch!
