This 1981 Chuck Norris movie straddles the transition from the gritty police dramas of the '70s (like The French Connection and Serpico) to the heroic revenge fantasies of the '80s (like Sylvester Stallone's Rambo movies). Norris plays reckless cop Sean Kane; after Kane's partner is killed in suspicious circumstances, Kane turns in his badge. When his partner's newscaster wife gets killed after turning up some crucial evidence,her father, who is Kane's teacher in the martial arts, teams up with Kane to track down the criminals responsible. An Eye for an Eye gets a substantial lift from head villain Christopher Lee's silky, effortless menace, as well as from Richard Roundtree as a hardnosed police captain. The early scenes of tension and suspense are surprisingly textured; the rest of the movie features a lot of impressive high kicks. --Bret Fetzer ... Read more

Chuck Norris fans will find Lone Wolf McQuade to be one of his best. Playing a rebellious Texas Ranger, Norris single-handedly wipes out an entire gang of horse thieves--and that's just the opening scene. From there the plot involves arms smuggling, McQuade's daughter being kidnapped, and a dwarf in an electric wheelchair. But the movie's real trump card is a face-off between Norris and David Carradine of the TV show Kung Fu, who plays a badass villain with a penchant for argyle sweaters (though truth be told, Norris's wardrobe is very 1980s as well). Barbara Carrera makes a suitable bad girl/love interest and science fiction fans will enjoy some familiar faces (Robert Beltran, who would later be part of Star Trek: Voyager, and William Sanderson, a supporting actor from Blade Runner). All in all, an action-packed romp with a reverent, almost mythological view of the Texas Rangers. --Bret Fetzer ... Read more

Angie Dickinson stars as a bank-robbing matriarch in this 1974Roger Corman production, often described as a knock-off of Bonnie and Clyde. (As if that makes any difference regarding the worth of the film--which ispretty good.) Set in Great Depression-era Texas, the story finds Dickinson's desirable and poor character driven to crime, along with her twodaughters (Susan Sennett, Robbie Lee), all of whom use sex to distract or drivemen into culpability. The film, directed by Steve Carver, is pure Cormanformula: fast-moving, violent, gritty, adorned with nudity, and yet solidly trueto its own sense of high drama and texture. Veteran Angie Dickinson brings solid acting chops (and a great bod on display) to the enterprise--and speaking of Enterprise, William Shatner is quite memorable (as is TomSkerritt) as one of the gentlemen who fall under the antiheroine's sway. --Tom Keogh ...

I watched this movie in the seventies when it came out and it seemed very, very racy. Now its pretty calm stuff with no more nudity than any contemorary flick. Still good, especially if you are an Angie Dickinson fan. The young girls add some heat but the nudity is brief.

1-0 out of 5 stars What the #%*@? Only for low IQ individuals!
Friends! How can anyone give this more than one star?? This movie is a piece of crap!!! Wake up, get a life, and see about finishing high school!

4-0 out of 5 stars Cheap exploitative campy trash, BUT....
Yes, this movie is cheap, exploitative campy trash, with a forgettable nonsensical comedy/ violence plot and poor acting by almost every actor/ actress in the movie,

BUT,
the superb performance and presence of Angie Dickenson make this a must-see movie!
Angie was 43 when the movie was made, and the actress playing her "teenage" daughter Billy Jean was 29! I can't find an age for the actress playing Polly, even on IMDB.

3-0 out of 5 stars It's Good Trashy Fun and We get to see What all the....
Hullabaloo was about Angie Dickinson in one of her best nude scenes.

This movie has few redemming social values, other than it's shot pretty good, and it has a weak plot and some beautiful women, including a former supporting actress from "Eight is Enough," Ms. Dickinson, and even "Captain Kirk." But, I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a good period campy movie...

5-0 out of 5 stars A must for Angie fans
Apart from perhaps Dressed to Kill, this is Angie Dickinson's finest moment on film. A satisfying mix of humor, suspense, drama, and touching at moments. Of course, there is also plenty of flesh, including from Angie herself. A classic. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Cry me a 'River,' Put on DVD now!
A lost city in the Amazon jungle has John Hamilton (Michael Dudikoff) interested. There are riches hidden below, but unfortunately for he and his crew, there is a sadistic doctor there still performing offbeat operations. Disease ridden and strange tribes are spread out through the "River of Death" and the group either survives or perishes by the end of the story. The movie based on Alistair MacLean's novel is pure genius (never read the book). If I knew a river was called the "River of Death," then I wouldn't go into it. No casual swim, no fishing. Probably infested with piranha, anyway, those tribesmen needed to save makeup time for their Barbies. Why couldn't those people take a shower? If you want to stay healthy, all you have to do is stay clean. Common sense. Michael Deitykoff is a genius once again. Please put this movie on DVD right now! MGM needs to release all of Michael Dudikoff's movies.

2-0 out of 5 stars Actually, 2,5 stars...
This is just ok. Nothing else. But don't waste money buying it. There are MUCH better action movies...

4-0 out of 5 stars Great action adventure
I didn't realize this was an Allistair MacLaine story. There are plenty of neat twists to keep you interested. I always have liked adventure stories that involve a group of colorful heroes/characters who go jungle adventuring together and you try to determine who will live or die by the end. This isn't a perfect movie, but fun. Personally, my favorite Dudikoff role.

5-0 out of 5 stars Indiana Jones meets Dr. Mengele
WOW!!!!

If your in the mode for a great flick then rent this sleeper. It boasts everything; from Nazis to a swashbuckling hero. Nuff said - get it NOW!!! ... Read more
