Head Hunter

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.

I wanted to hate "Bounty Tracker". After all, in the other Lorenzo Lamas films I've seen he has a narrower emotional range than a tomato. But, surprisingly, for what it was it was actually pretty decent. Of course, you need to be willing to tolerate watching a very violent film!

When the story begins, a team of evil mercenaries walks into a tax consulting office and kill everyone in sight...with no dialog, no mercy...just shooting them all. One, however, escapes and soon the killers track down Paul Damone and they kill him and his wife. His brother, Jonathan (Lorenzo Lamas) tries to stop them, but he's too late. What the murderers do not realize is that Jonathan is both a bounty hunter (I am not sure why they only use the term 'bounty tracker') and he's an unstoppable killing machine when provoked.

Jonathan spends the rest of the movie following leads and tracking down leads until the ultimate boss battle at the end. A good addition to this are some young gang members who later team up with him. While Lamas STILL has little emotional range, these young guys were kind of cute and enjoyable and gave the film some needed emotion.

Overall, I was shocked that I enjoyed such a violent film. Part was, of course, the gang members and part was that Lamas' martial arts/fighting skills looked amazing. I never realized he was so accomplished. A decent time-passer.

By the way, I was torn between a 5 and 6....and opted for 5 because when the film began, Lamas was trying to speak with a British accent....and it was unintentionally funny.

This is Matthias at his gorgeous best! If you like him in Black Belt, I come in Peace, even Kickboxer 2 (as brief as his appearance was), you'll love him in this one. He is as fit and looks as good as I've ever seen him.

The plot is predictable, of course. We all know how what will happen in the end, but who cares!? You're in heaven every time Matthias is on the screen.

His presence overtakes the movie. He should have had top billing instead of 2nd billing. Matthias is what makes the movie really worth watching, especially his 1st fight sequence! Rent, or buy this one. You'll want to watch it over and over again. I guarantee if you are not a Matthias fan before, you'll be one after. Catch it, and you'll keep on catching it! Over and over and over again.

Yeah, yeah I know this is not "Renegade", but still… it has such a strong resemblance to it. First of all, we have Lorenzo Lamas, the star of "Renegade", with his usual long hair, rugged looks, martial arts skills, not that solid acting skills and he is a bounty hunter. Well… the title of the film says "Bounty Tracker", just not to think that this has nothing to do with "Renegade". Well, it doesn't… but, it still has a big resemblance! What is the matter with you, people?! When you see most of these action, martial arts films, with Van Damme, Seagal, Lundgren and all others, they are just type casted for the sake of entertainment to play themselves over and over again. They just change their names, for example Lorenzo's name here is Johnathan Damone (the usual name for a action hero, you know – John, Jack, James, George, Casey, Bill, Jericho…), forget it, he is Vince Black, aka Reno Raines and shut up. The story is, of course… a revenge story , no more, no less, in "Renegade" Lamas is seeking justice, to clear his name, and also a vengeance, nothing far from this film, in "Renegade", they kill his girlfriend, here they kill his brother… so, we all know what happens next. This is just a usual action low budget film from the 90s, so turn of your brain and enjoy yourself. The only thing I like are the fight scenes, pretty well done. We also have some interesting players here, Matthias Hues for example, I think he is pretty good for playing villains in low budget films, he is tall, menacing and he has this evil looks, but no acting skills at all. But, always has this strange charisma, you just enjoy watching him as a villain. And we also have Cyndi Pass, ah, that little sexy, sexy from the 90s, damn… 90s were really hot. So, grab your chair, rent this film, if you really enjoy this kind of fun and watch it.

"Bounty Tracker" (1993) was one of the movies i watched dozen of times when i was 8-10 years old on my old VHS cassette. What a great actionier that was. Recently i stumbled on this flick on TV, and with enjoyment i re watched it. 19 years have past since i last time saw it, and it's still is an interesting action thriller. I always taught that Matthias Hues / Erik Gauss was one of the most deadliest villains in a movies - yes, i know it's a B flick made specifically for videos, with kinda one dimensional characters, but still, he was a very cool villain.

Overall, 9/10 for "Bounty Tracker" - it delivers exactly what it promises to deliver and more - cool action scenes, deadly villain and charming , cool and bad ass Lorenzo Lamas - you can't ask for more.
