Aliança Final

Terrible acting from all the supporting actors Including Hasselhoff. The 2 bad guys and also the real stars were ok. B movie.

There are movies you love because of how good you think they are, and there are movies SOME people love because of how bad they are. I have to put my two cents in here for this film being so bad it's good. Trust me, it's HORRIBLE. But on certain levels, like on an Ed Wood level, it's great. The plot is half baked and the acting plummets below the level of EVERYONE in Star Wars Phantom Menace. If you happen to be one of those people who doesn't understand why Hasselhoff gets raked over most of his work, then it is very likely you will love this movie. Not to be missed is John Saxon's performance as an albino gang leader. If the producers of this film didn't have their tongues in their cheeks while this film was produced then I say they are masters of schlock. Otherwise, "Final Alliance" rates among the top adolescent wish-fulfillment wet dream films of all time. Hasselhoff and his pet puma- that says it all.

Now you might hate me for my 5 rating, but that is all I can conceivably give this movie. It's bad, really bad. But the big question is if it is enjoyable. I give the enjoyment factor a resounding yes!

Damn, where to begin? Pointless explosions, poorly choreographed fights, weird ADR all throughout the film and some truly hammy acting. The horse and the puma were better actors than some of their human counterparts. You heard that right...a puma. I loved this part because David Hasselhoff had conversations with "Felix" akin to the ones I have with my dogs. So kudos to reeling me in with that detail.

The story is typical straight to video fare of the era. Ex-marine/mercenary comes home to clean up a town overrun by a generic redneck biker gang led by a sheriff who cackles way too maniacally and his second in command albino. You heard that right. John Saxon plays an albino with some questionable style choices. I mean the white boots he wears are ridiculous!! Plus he rides in a side car rather than a motorcycle. A SIDECAR!!

This thing plays out rather predictably, and there are so many action movie tropes that show up that I will leave it to you to find this movie. I mean it has boobie traps AND an armored vehicle. Watch this movie if you can. I think the real debate will be whether this movie or Stone Cold is the true violent B-movie supreme of the early 90s.

What we have here is entertainment of the cliched, bad acting variety, enhanced by the apparent sincerity of all those involved. The stranger's revenge story is so familiar, you could use a check list to make certain all the cliches are covered. Then there is the wild card of Felix the Cat, Hasselhoff's pet cougar, which snarls alot at the bad guys. Speaking of the bad guys, John Saxon should have won an Oscar for his Richard Lynch imitation as the albino leader of the "Vipers" motorcycle gang. Now throw in Bo Hopkins as a corrupt Sheriff, and you have the perfect cast for "B" movie predictability. Bar fight, check, female intimidation, check, hero destroys motorcycles, check, explosions, check, originality zero, check. Despite all the above problems, "The Final Alliance" is marvelously entertaining because of it's sincere ineptness, and the second half rivals even Frank Stallone "masterpieces" of "good bad", for shear "off the rails" insanity. - MERK

Watched this for the first time today, and I'll have to say it's exactly what I expected from an Italian made, low budget action flick. Rated this a 6 out of 10 mainly from the cast (The one and only Hasselhoff, Bo Svenson, and the legend John Saxon as an albino, gun toting villain) and a fair portion of the action (preferably the bar fight and car flip stunt that occur in the middle of the film). What lowered my score was simply the bad and sometimes obvious dubbing.. as expected from a film of this caliber.

If you're into David Hasselhoff, Italian flicks, or simply just low budget action films, then this is for you.
