This movie is basically about some motorbikers killing a man's wife, so the man get's a good revenge on the motorbikers and forces people to join ignorant slobs on his side. Sound's like a terrible movie, right? Surprisingly, not bad, but not good either. It is something that most movies fail to attempt at - make you hate it and love it! This movie is an action packed cheesy 80's gem, starring that one famous actor, Gary Busey! This film may be cheesy, but it's cheesy in a good way! Whoever doesn't like this movie needs some serious help, because although it isn't 10/10, it's still pretty damn good. Gary Busey will impress you with cheesy acting, as you watch this amazing film that ripped off the theme song off Rocky, called, Eye Of The Tiger! 6.3/10!

This breath-taking and all guns blazing vigilante flick from 80s is something to look for. Note: If you are fan of films like First Blood, Commando, Lone Wolf McQuade and Death Wish 3 this is a must-see. Gary Busey is tougher than ever in this film, this was his effort to make it bad-ass like Stallone and Norris and he really nails it, teamed with always solid Yaphet Kotto. Talking about mean villains in action flicks, the biker gang here really is something. Conclusion is of course over-the-top final battle action. The biggest surprise is that this movie ain't Cannon Films production, it sure has same feel in it. Don't know what's the point of naming the film after that Eye Of The Tiger song, it's cool title, but song was embodied with Rocky pictures so much already at the time when this came out in 1986. That original track actually plays also in the film if someone wonders. But anyway, absolutely fantastic action classic from the 80s is the case.

I had never heard of this movie before, but it had Gary Busey, a decent plot, a great cover, and most importantly: It's an 80's movie. So I decided to check it out, and I don't regret it. Although not overloaded with action, it has enough to make the fans happy. The action scenes were great, lots of explosions and over the top stuff in general. Busey is good in this, even though he is better as a bad guy. When he is a good guy, he's an anti-hero at best. The story is nothing special, it has been done before and will be done again at a later time. But the action scenes and some great characters (e.g. the main bad guy, plus Busey's buddy ) made it interesting. Sitting through this is not a waste of time.

Remember the "The A-Team" TV series back in the 1980's? Remember how cheesy the acting, story and special effects were? I do and I couldn't help but compare this movie and the old TV series. Interestingly, Yaphet Kotto was even in an episode of the "The A-Team" as a head gangster boss if my memory serves me. In any case, the plot is just plain silly - a whole town cowers in fear of the bad guys and simply go about their lives like nothing is wrong. Hey, how about calling the FBI or ATF? The town folk sit around and play bingo while the bad guys kill, rape and destroy things. Of course, the bad guys find the wrong person to pick on with Busey and the violence begins. Busey's wife gets killed and it's time for vengeance. Someone needs to smack the writers on their heads. Busey's dead wife is barely back in the ground (you'll know what I mean if you haven't seen the movie) and they try to create a love interest for him. (roll eyes) So to wrap this up, this movie is more or less an episode of "The A-Team" (good guys save town from baddies) but with killing, rape and profanity. Keep the little ones away from this terrible film.
