this is a surprisingly entertaining movie.it won't win any awards for originality.this plot line has been used several times,sometimes to better effect,sometimes not.as a matter of fact,Charlie Sheen would star in pretty much the same movie,Beyond the Law,one year later(1992).both are comparable efforts.any way,in Stone Cold Brian Bosworth,an ex football player,takes on the role of of the undercover cop.He does a surprisingly admirable job.it's strange that his film career didn't take off,as his acting ability equals(probably surpasses) that of Stallone and Shwarzennegger when they started out.He is certainly better than Van Damme.Lance Henrickson is well cast as the chief bad guy in the film.action abounds in this movie,leaving pretty much no dramatic moments.of course in most movies of this type,there is zero character development,but that can be forgiven in this case.the movie knows what it is and doesn't try to be something it's not.it is pure fun.oh,yeah,i almost forgot.William Forsythe also plays a baddie and is brilliant as always.this is definitely a great way to entertain yourself for 2 hours. 6/10

Whilst the plot is very formulaic, Stone Cold is still really good fun. Brian Bosworth gives a really good lead performance and proves he is a very capable action star. Lance Henriksen is great as the villain. Its well paced and builds effectively to a satisfying, over the top and action packed third act. It's well filmed and Craig R. Baxley's direction is good. The music by Sylvester Levay is also good.

My summary is not much of a compliment as the Boz as he was known as back in the day was a horrible NFL player and an over hyped college one. The Boz as about attitude and an image and college football recognized this by giving the Butckus award to Alabama linebacker Cornelius Bennett instead. That being said, Brian was not a horrible actor, kind of a Dolph Lundgren type where you put him in the right position and he will succeed. I am afraid his football career may have helped him get into Hollywood; however, being run over by Bo Jackson is an image that hurt his chances of becoming a sustainable star. This film has over the top action, violence and sparse nudity here and there and it failed during a time this type of movie should have done well.

The story, dude is a cop who is on suspension and he stops a grocery store robbery that involves like four guys and automatic weapons. Sure, guys with artillery like that hit the local supermarket for the big score! Well he is soon recruited to infiltrate a biker gang and take it down as they are out there killing priests for no real reason. There are big deals going down and stuff. Look, it is a brainless action film, best not to dwell on the plot and let the explosions make you say, radical!

As I said, Brian Bosworth did alright here, they did not give him too much to do as he mainly walks toughly here and there. Lance Henrickson on the other hand seems miscast as the leader of a biker gang. Why not someone with some size so you can have a decent fight at the end as poor Lance puts up a worse fight in this than the Joker gave Batman in the first Batman movie. Lance looks way more at home in the priest costume at the end!

So lots of explosions, lots of strutting around like one owns the place, more explosions, some boobies and even more explosions. Seriously, I do not think a motorcycle explodes upon impact in a fireball the size of some sort of C4 explosion. Still, that is what makes the movie sort of fun, makes it a bad movie that is sort of good at the same time. This movie failed at the box office, but a few changes and I think it could have done good, I bet if Canon had made this film it would have turned a profit as this is the type of film that was their signature. I do not really see it as an MGM film, even though that is who made it. So, turn off your brain and give it a view, it may be bad, but it is not boring!

STONE COLD was such a big bomb in theaters, it not only put an end to the Stone Group film company, but derailed Brian Bosworth's chance of a post-football career in theatrical movies - it was several years later when Bosworth made his next movie, which went straight to video. Though Bosworth's utterly mediocre performance probably also explained why the major studios wouldn't give him another chance. Yet the movie is utterly enjoyable all the same, because it is so relentlessly over the top in just about every department. I knew I was onto something special when someone in the first minute emptied a machine gun into a shelf of Ritz crackers! Incredibly violent (the first cut got an NC-17 rating), sleazy, and with a climax that not only must be seen to be believed, but makes you wonder just how they got permission to do so... this is a must for fans of '80s action movies. Yeah, this came out in 1991, but if RAGING BULL is considered a '70s movie in spirit, why not?

I just saw this in a retro showing, and it's really one of those films that you shouldn't enjoy. It came out at the tailend of the muscles action era which was at its height in the 80s.

We don't need to bother about the storyline. Our badass hero has not any acting skills and is out to bring down a biker gang from hell. Lots of explosions, lots of female exploitation and sexism, bad one liners and terrible dress sense, yet it's so much fun. It's so wrong but you can't help but go along for the ride.

As a throw back, it's fun and downright silly escapism. Granted I was finding the sexism too much at times, but apart from that it's a fun night's viewing. Give it a whirl.

If you're looking for a genuinely good movie, this is a 3/4 out of 10. If you enjoy movies that are stupid fun action, this is what you're looking for.

Things explode with the slightest provocation. The protagonist is horrendous at his job. The biker gang partakes in insane group activities such as shooting bottles off of each other WITH A SPRAY AND PRAY SUBMACHINE GUN! The biker gang is made up of cartoon characters that chew the scenery.

The villains and the hero are harsh on the eyes. The characters are so greasy that they gave me and my friends viewing the movie the ick factor times 10. Seriously, this movie needs to take a shower, and then repeat.

The climax of the movie makes it worth the watch. While the action is interspersed throughout the film, the third act is where is saves the best for last. You will not be disappointed with how cuckoo-bananas it gets. The set pieces and stunts are truly to be appreciated here.

Watch this with glee, and then take a shower.

You haven't seen this much male shirtlessness in a film since Planet of the Apes (1968). Boz struts his bare torso around and you know that was the reason the film was made. That and the thick, beefy one-liners delivered with a total absence of any emotion whatsoever.

Watching this historical nugget of 1991-era sensibilities was like hopping into the Wayback machine set for "LAME", though somehow it's entertaining. Perhaps that is the central mystery of the film: How can something so horrible be so AWESOME?!

Boz's hair defies both logic and taste and manages to evoke the diametrically opposed forces in early 1990's hairstyles: Thick product vs. rockin' windswept "do". Black roots juxtaposed with platinum blonde tresses hanging like a mudflap down his beefy neck while the top and sides are all "bidness" crewcut as evidenced by his ability to infiltrate both the Salsa club and the greasy biker compound.

Rent this movie and watch in rapt horror/delight as "The Boz" tears a searing hole into your heart!

Sometimes, just sometimes you see a film that rocks your world. A film that normally you wouldn't even pick off the shelf unless someone told you about it. Stone Cold is that film.

Starring man of the day Brian 'the Boz' Bosworth this low budget action vehicle is one of the most fun actioners that I have ever seen. What's right with it? In terms of your normal studio producer films … very little. The acting is poor, the script dreadful, continuity (especially the hysterically bad bike chase) is just atrocious and that's just the opening few scenes.

But this film hits where it needed to. The action. The set pieces are a by numbers low budget master class, how to make the most out of very, very little. Henrikson is a superb villain and Bosworth makes the most of his limited abilities to chew the scenery whenever it gets into his way.

As I said not a perfect film but pretty damn perfect nights entertainment.

Very entertaining action film with a memorable hero, Boswoth, and a very memorable villain, Lance Henriksen. Naturally, airborne motorcycles crashing into helicopters requires a certain, check that, a total suspension of disbelief. Henriksen is at his evil pinnacle in this film, espousing some extremely quotable dialog to boot. Logic is totally thrown out the window, in favor of a quick pace, great stunts, and brutal brawls. Very few films are as action packed as "Stone Cold". There are several moments of very dark humor mixed with the mayhem, and if you are in the mood for mindless entertainment, here is a movie that delivers exactly what it promises. Recommended of its type. - MERK

The Wizard of Bos should have stayed in his professional football career instead of drifting over into acting. Not only is he terrible at what this film demands of him, he's completely stiff. There's this one scene that takes place is a strip club and you can tell that Brian Bosworth is distracted by all the dancing naked ladies around him. The acting in this movie is complete and utter crap from everyone except Lance Henriksen, who tries his best with what he's got, and William Forsythe, who is completely wasted. The climax is seven minutes long and is simply mediocre. It's not thrilling or exciting or anything of the sort. The movie is ~90 minutes long and, thankfully, those 90 minutes go by rather quick, which I was surprised at. I will give this movie credit for at least trying to be an alright action movie, but everything just drags it down. If you're into watching bad movies like I am, this is a must-see. But, if you're not into that sort of stuff, don't even bother with this film.

Think "Commando" with bikers, all of the misdirected machismo from "Road House", and every other action movie trope you can think of, all nicely sliced and diced together. That is "Stone Cold". It never tries to be more than what it is. It has a simple setup far as story goes, decent action, it's well shot, has fast pacing, and pretty solid acting all around.

It's an early 90's movie about a cop going undercover to catch a biker gang, what more are you expecting out of this?

Enjoy!

Made for two reasons one feels, the first was an attempt to elevate then Gridiron star Brian "Boz" Bosworth into a movie star, the second was to hopefully take a bite of the action cake whipped up by Arnie, Sly and Bruce et al. The first thing didn't happen, Bosworth has languished in low grade schlock ever since, but in spite of its low rating on internet forums, Stone Cold is a gloriously over the top action movie that wouldn't have looked out of place on either of Arnold and Sly's resume's.

It's pretty standard in plotting, Bosworth is a no nonsense cop on suspension who gets thrown a bone by way of an undercover operation. His task is to infiltrate a gang of Hells Angels type bikers who are basically killing big suits and running amok. The gang is led by Chains Cooper (Lance Henriksen) and his second in command is Ice (William Forsythe). Proving his metal as a tough biker dude, Bosworth gains their trust but plots to bring them down with help from one of the "lady" bikers who clearly doesn't belong in such company. Cue carnage, fights, stunts, wonderful bikes, cheese laden dialogue, nudity, ridiculous mullets (Bosworth winning the award for worst mullet of the 90s) and a finale so over the top it's as thrilling as it is daft.

Acting wise? Bosworth is wholly unconvincing but it scarcely matters in a production such as this, and surprisingly he's not the worst actor on show. No I'm not talking about Henriksen and Forsythe, both of whom are perfectly cast and playing it with a glints in eyes, but the supporting cast leave the most to be desired, with Richard Gant particularly struggling to pitch the tone right. But does it matter in the grand scheme of things? If you are rolling up to watch Stone Cold then you really should have some idea of what sort of film it is. Artistically it's on a straight to video level, but as an action film pulsing with 80s type muscle? It delivers entertainment once the brain is put on snooze for 90 odd minutes. 7/10

If you've seen this movie you know what I'm talking about. Any movie store that carries this movie should be forced to put up a disclaimer disassociating them from any lawsuits that may be brought on by their sickened customers. On the upside though, fans of professional wrestling will be able to quickly identify the inspiration for "Bad Ass" Billy Gun. Seriously, this movie has no redeeming value whatsoever. Infact, it's so unkettle it should be criminal.

Ah, "Stone Cold"... what a classic! In the Tradition of "Cobra", he puts the "force" in "enforcement"! John Stone (The Boz) is a cop who goes undercover in a biker gang to weed out the leader, Chains (Henriksen) and his dangerous crew.

Okay, the plot isn't much, but how about that Mullet! Only in 1991 can you get away with that hair. Boz has a couple of good lines like "Cleanup on aisle 4", very reminiscent of Cobra's "I don't shop here".

Henriksen always puts in an excellent performance. He's at his best as the villain. Forsythe looks young (and a little heavy) here, but he doesn't disappoint. The climax at the courthouse is hilarious! You gotta see it to believe it! One of the funniest cop movies ever, "Stone Cold" will always hold a special place in my heart.

Cliche-filled movie about undercover cop Bosley infiltrating biker gang lead by Henricksen and Forsythe. A good opening scene and great performances from Henricksen and Forsythe are a plus, but you've seen it all before.

In the 80s and early 90s, there were a number of movies that may not have had the most solid story, but what the they lacked in story they more than made up for in action, all kinds of mindless action that any red blooded American could sink his teeth into. 1991's "Stone Cold" is a perfect example of this; despite not having the best written story or being the best produced film, you still can't help but be entertained. The film follows the story of a rough and tough cop Joe Huff (Brian Bosworth, aka The Boz, former NFL player who tried his hand at acting and while he may not be a great actor, he does do a decent job for the role) who is forced to go undercover in a vicious biker gang known as The Brotherhood, who's motto is "God Forgives, the Brotherhood Doesn't" (a motto that was almost certainly borrowed from the American Outlaw Association or Outlaws MC, their's being "God Forgives, Outlaws Don't). While going undercover, the Boz faces all sorts of dangers, be it from fights, guns, knives, explosions, but above all, from the gang's infamous leader, Chains Chopper, played by the always entertaining Lance Henriksen. Even though this is far from being standard A material, Lance dives into his character, producing one of the best bona fide psychopaths in the history of action cinema and thus making the movie all the more better because of it. You also have William Forsythe in an equally menacing role of Ice, Chains' right hand man and constant bump in the road for the Boz. Then there is the beautiful Arabella Holzbog (sadley, I can't seem to find any info on her) as Nancy, Chains' old lady (biker slang for wife or girlfriend) who ends up falling for Huff, not realizing that he is a cop which leads to tragic results. All in all, if you're a guy and in the mood for a man's man movie, filled with plenty of action and hot naked women, plus some really nice motorcycles, then "Stone Cold" would be a great way to spend some time on Sat night. Also starring Sam McMurray and Richard Gant. 8 out of 10. PS Although this is more of a man's movie, women may get some enjoyment out of seeing Bosworth without a shirt and, in one scene, wearing nothing but a speedo. Hint guys, this a good way to sell this to your wife or girlfriend for movie night.

'Stone Cold' didn't do well in theaters, but there's some cheesy charm to be found in this 90's actioner. Ex-pro footballer Brian "Boz" Bosworth is supported by some solid characters actors, a capable action director and cool stunts. It's also got an interesting production history.

Joe Huff (Bosworth) an Alabama cop suspended for not playing by the rules is approached by the FBI to infiltrate a biker gang called "The Brotherhood" lead by "Chains" (Lance Henriksen) & Sgt-At-Arms "Ice" (William Forsythe). Undercover as Jon Stone, he'll have to find a way in without blowing his cover, arousing suspicion and take 'em down before they can kill high ranking government officials.

Trying to make an action star of a celebrity with no acting experience it's clear right from the start they tried to put a good package around him. The leadoff scene is a piece of work showing how cool, unique looking, bad-ass the hero is. Henriksen & Forsythe can do bad guys in their sleep and bring plenty of energy amping up the proceedings. There's a bunch of fist fights, gunplay, multiple explosions and last but not least some gratuitous female nudity.

It goes without saying 'Stone Cold' doesn't have an original bone in it's body. The story is a test pattern, but if you want to see likable faces tearing up the screen yelling, committing violence and all that other macho bs - this is your ticket. The use of bad bikers is action movie 101 and this fits right in with the rest of this particular genre.

Joe Huff (Brian Bosworth) takes out a hold-up gang in a supermarket all by himself. A violent motorcycle gang called The Brotherhood led by Chains Cooper (Lance Henriksen) and his right-hand man Ice Hensley (William Forsythe) is murdering and causing havoc. Suspended Alabama cop Huff is forced by the FBI to go undercover to infiltrate the gang.

This has some good action scenes especially for a B-movie. It's got a couple of solid actors, Henriksen and Forsythe, to play the fun villains. It all boils down to Bosworth. I don't expect much and that's what he has. He has a limited range. I wouldn't call him charming. He lets his size do most of the acting. I also wouldn't call him stiff. He can walk. He can talk. However he can't do more. He is at most second tier and more realistically third tier action star material.
