Traxx - Um Mercenário do Barulho

This film is very funny, although it is currently our of print. If you desire a cheesy 1980's film that puts a mercenary into the competitive cookie business...this is your film. Shadoe is hilarious! Precilla Barnes is also very good as the mayor of the town that Shadoe Stevens tries to "tame" in order to fund his cookie business. The only problem is that he can not cook! This film is classic overdone male machismo, wrapped up in cookie dough. Yes, it is predictable, but very funny nonetheless. As far as I know, this is the only film where Shadoe Stevens is the star. He became famous for doing the voice tracks and announcements for the original Hollywood Squares.

Is it brilliant? The best darn parody since "Airplane"? Nah. But me and my drunken undergrad buddies thought it was funny enough to rent it more than a couple of times back in the early '90s. And I wouldn't mind another look at it, I tell you what.

It was funny enough for an evening. Better than the average sitcom anyway.

Gosh. Apparently, I need to write 10 lines. But this little movie is not really worth an additional character study, plot analysis or other academic exercises. It was fun but no more essential than this useless padding.

For anyone to really enjoy this wacky movie...i think you have to be just as wacky. The acting i think is rather good but the movie looks as if they have trimmed it down somewhat. Then again it could be just the budget maybe. Reminds me of Legend when i first seen it..... hmmmmmm LOL . I love this movie as it has some of the funniest moments and lines that you can only hear in it. i won't quote anything from it as this site has everything you need to know about it. If you love movies like loaded weapon...then chance a rental if you can find it. You won't be disappointed !!!

The only funny part of this movie that I can remember is when the Guziks are in the back of a limo and the reactions on the driver's face in the mirror is just CLASSIC! Unfortunately, he winds up dead and Robert Davi kicks him as he asks what happened. The original credits listed him as "Eric Tilley... Dead Limo Driver". Why isn't he listed in the credits here? Maybe he thought better of it after he saw the finished product...

You're not getting art here, you're getting a comic book and at times it really works well and is super funny. Some jokes just do not land, but that's okay because there will be ten more before you know it. An acquired taste, but worth TRAXXing down...
