SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

hwg1957-102-265704 A Bostonian bounty hunter Johnathan Damone gets involved in L.A. with a gang of assassins after they kill his brother as part of a cleaning up operation to remove witnesses on behalf of a criminal Luis Sarazin who is just about to go on trial. Using his professional skills he tracks them down in revenge. Cue lots of well staged fighting and gun play. It is not bad at all. It move along fast and amid the action there is good characterisation that keeps one interested to the end. Lorenzo Lamas plays the bounty tracker in his usual solid way. It also has the bonus of the great Matthias Hues as the villainous Erik Gauss who doesn't have to say anything to be scary. His final fight with Lorenzo Lamas is great. The three actors playing the home boys who help the hero are entertaining in their roles. Cyndi Pass is passable as the gun toting female assassin. The role of G-Roy is played by Thunderwolf who did it very well.Found it surprisingly better than expected.

Scarecrow-88 A wily Boston bounty tracker, with a martial arts background, comes to LA to visit his brother who was employed in a company unfortunately with a businessman holding damaging evidence involving a white collar criminal. This crook hires merciless, cold-blooded mercenaries to hunt down and kill anyone that could keep him behind bars. When they murder the bounty tracker's brother and wife, he makes it his mission to take them all down. What they don't anticipate is his toughness, fighting prowess, and ability to escape numerous efforts to rid themselves of their menace.Lorenzo Lamas was one of those lower tier, made-for-cable / made-for-satellite action heroes, much like Don 'The Dragon' Wilson. There was a comfortable living to be made in the early 90s for these guys. And Bounty Tracker (1993) is one of my favorites from Lamas' low budget action resume. It doesn't task him with trying to win any thespian honors, and Lamas is allowed to look like a badass. He gets in a handicapped fight against three or so karate fighters in a dojo and makes mincemeat out of them. He avoids lots of gunfire while everyone else isn't so lucky. He simply goes to ask about main nemesis Matthew Hues (a forgotten heavy who was a regular in these types of VHS rental shelf fodder) to Judd Omen's wheel-chair cripple (back broken by Hues for simply wanting to leave his entourage!), after driving around to identify a specific tattoo, and it costs the innocent man his life! Omen's pupil, a kid he mentors, wants to get even also, and, with a couple of wannabe hoods, joins Lamas in his quest to rid LA of scum offering their mercenary duties to those with the coin to afford them. Cyndi Pass is memorable as a hot body mercenary equally as willing to kill anyone as Hues. Eugene Glazer is the classic rich cretin with a serpentine smile and devious mind, using his financial resources (surely accumulated through whatever shady method or heinous act he could accomplish) to get himself out of prison where he belongs. This is the kind of action movie where most people who come in contact with Lamas wind up dead except him. There's a lot of violence, with the likes of fists, kicks, and bullets. One scene has Hues, Pass, and their team of killers just opening up a wave of gunfire on a company of employees, and later they show no mercy on an outpost of cops who were a task force working to find them! The implausibility of how one man (Lamas) could survive while so many others are obliterated is yet again stretched to the max. The film builds to seeing those behind the killing spree (both the moneybags and weapons of destruction) get their just desserts and Lamas is comfortable on screen just getting the opportunity to flex his fighting skills and persevere on top. The plot is especially simple and cliché.A select audience is who this film is intended for. Conclusion in an auto junk yard does seem like a fitting location for a film such as this. Lamas has an array of punches and kicks to Hues certain to impress…the film goes out of its way to make him look like a million bucks. Hues often is featured as an intimidating presence against inferior foes and starts off well against the hero of these flicks, only to get embarrassed by the end of the fight…this is the same way. This doesn't re-invent the wheel. If you are okay with that, this might work.

yatahaeshadai Lorenzo Lamas plays a long haired bounty hunter. Sound familiar? (Renegade) Well that's where the similarity ends. His rich brother is dead and he is on the trail of his killers in his brothers porsche. He hooks up with three home boys out to avenge the death of their mentor. Together they kick ass. There is a major martial arts scene where he takes on the whole dojo only to find the master waiting to do him in. Between barbs he catches his breath before taking on the master. It has got to be the longest stretch of karate footage in any of his movies(5 min.)and he shines. As he picks up a pole he gives out a deep "kiya" but doesn't get hurt till they turn to swords. This only gets you ready for a rough action scene at the end with Mathias Hues. The actions great. The double meanings come at you so fast you have to watch it a dozen times to make sure you got them all. And you'll enjoy it more each time you do!

LuvsFood Rent this one if you want to see Lorenzo Llamas kick some serious butt. Plot is a throwaway, natch, with dialogue to match. But Kurt Andersen is an action director to watch, and he serves up some great fight scenes, including a sequence in a dojo that has to be seen to be believed.
