    Felix the Cat

    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

    not bad at all

    I love movies about motorcycle gangs like Mad Max, Stonecold or Beyond the Law / Fixing the Shadow. There is something really evil and scary about motorcycle gangs and it's for sure, that hero always has to walk trough the hell when he fights them. Final Alliance is not as good as Mad Max a Co., but it isn't so bad. It starts with 5 motorcycles and pretty cheap fight scenes, but soon it gets better. There is a lot of explosions, one pretty cool action scene (bikers attack Hasselhoff's farm, but he planted many mines around), funny dialogues and acting. If you expect Schindler's List, you will be disappointed, if you expect funny B actioner, you won't. I missed only some rape scene, but you know, gentleman Mitch Buchanan is on board, so I wasn't surprised, there isn't any.

    "I've been shot before. I lived. But you won't".

    In big, bold white text; David Hasselhoff in... Not without my puma, and call him Felix. Comedic hilarity ensured. Almost in the same league as Chuck Norris and his scene stealing armadillo. Felix definitely deserved that second billing. Also starring John Saxon, like you have never seen him before, a menacingly uptight albino head honcho biker(!?). Those black shades he wears didn't make it look any less conspicuous. If he didn't open his mouth, you wouldn't know.. Glad he does though, as he gets some choice dialogues. And rounding it off is the all talking Bo Hopkins mugging every scene with his bombastic yelling, and bellowing laughter. When the latter two came together (henchman & boss), it always felt like there was some sort in-joke that they only knew about, because it was just so much fun whenever they shared the screen.

    "THE FINAL ALLIANCE" (and how does this title tie in to what I'm seeing?) is a cheapjack, straight-to-video action vehicle for a stoic Hasselhoff to show off his styled stubble, leather jacket, close fitting jeans, wicked cowboy hat and to obviously let loose. Well, it doesn't entirely stretch the imagination, as the theme of the plot (an unknown stranger makes himself at home in a small corrupt country town to clean up , but there's also another ulterior motive driving him), has been milked over and over again, but it's absurdly trashy and harebrained (like Hasselhoff and Moore getting their priorities mixed up, as they reinforce their love for each other at the very wrong time) to make this trite entertaining enough that you simply chew up everything about it.

    While violent at times (head trauma), for most part its light-weight (due to the humor making light of many situations and the biker cronies even with their nunchucks and chains came off more so bumbling, than threatening), yet there are some boisterous action set-pieces (road chases, booby trapped homestead, assault on an airport hanger) and harmful stunt-work (fire and shotgun don't mix). Mario DiLeo's homespun direction never lets hit a bump either, by keeping it simple-minded and moving at a fast clip. But slow-motion was sorely under-used, only one sequence, still it's a powerful moment due to the circumstance surrounding it. Surely it would bring a tear to your eye.

    "an adventure that mixes justice with revenge for explosive results"

    The back of the box did not lie- "an adventure that mixes justice with revenge for explosive results" -BOOM! I just watched this hidden gem of a movie. Hasselhoff stars as Will Colton, an ex-marine who returns to his hometown in Texas. A gang of weapons dealing biker creeps killed Hasselhoff's family years back and he is back for revenge. He gets help from a local lady who has also been terrorized by these thugs. The gang includes the police chief, played by Bo Hopkins, which gives the movie some redneck credibility to the rural Texas setting. Actually, I would guess that this film is Italian or South African. The dubbing involved is of the 80's Italian style. Also it stars John Saxon, who is in a lot of the Italian action movies of this time. Also, it has an Italian director. One thing is for sure, it was not made in Texas. But anyways, this movie has some very good action sequences, a good cast, and an unintentionally hilarious script. Hasselhoff has some great conversations with his pet cougar that are awesomely cheesy. And John Saxon as the leader of the pack seems kind of embarrassed to be wearing such a lame looking wig, but he puts together a menacing portrayal of creepiness.

    There is a some good motorcycle violence, a cougar, a short love scene featuring Jeannie Moore, a load of European synthesizers futile mimicking honkytonk boogie music, and an Albino Motorcycle . If you happen upon this thing, give it a try. This is a lost classic.

    Decent "revenge on the bikers" actioner.

    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.
