Head Hunter

A movie with both Lorenzo Lamas and Mathias Hues sounded really interesting. And I wasn't disappointed. Hues plays the bad guy as he always does, but this time he's on top instead of second in command. Lamas is of course the hero. Although the movie contains one long and very entertaining fight scene, it's not a typical martial arts movie. Hues, for example, doesn't fight a lot, and he doesn't show us that much of his skills when he does. So don't get fooled by the video-cover, where it looks like some kind of arena-fighting movie. Despite of this, the movie is good. A normal (but fitting, as always) vengeance-plot with some cool scenes makes this more than OK.

Starring Lorenzo Lamas - king of the C-class action movies. The plot ? It's your typical " They killed his family member . They made a BIG MISTAKE. " run of the mill revenge movie. The villain is played by Matthias Hues who I remember from "I come in peace" (aka "Dark angel"). He can't act (just like Lamas) , but he certainly has the look to play the villain.

All in all forgettable stuff. I found this movie in my local supermarket . It cost me 5$ . I regret having to pay for this trash.

I give it 1/10. For action junkies only.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"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.

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.

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.
