La traque infernale

Lorenzo Lamas plays a long haired bounty hunter. Sound familiar? (Renegade) Well that's where the similarity ends. His rich brother is dead and he is on the trail of his killers in his brothers porsche. He hooks up with three home boys out to avenge the death of their mentor. Together they kick ass. There is a major martial arts scene where he takes on the whole dojo only to find the master waiting to do him in. Between barbs he catches his breath before taking on the master. It has got to be the longest stretch of karate footage in any of his movies(5 min.)and he shines. As he picks up a pole he gives out a deep "kiya" but doesn't get hurt till they turn to swords. This only gets you ready for a rough action scene at the end with Mathias Hues. The actions great. The double meanings come at you so fast you have to watch it a dozen times to make sure you got them all. And you'll enjoy it more each time you do!

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.

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.

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.
