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!

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
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.

This was an exciting movie, it had all the good action needed. It stars Brian Bosworth as an Alabama police officer who is sitting on a three week suspension. Now he's being (Sort of) "Blackmailed" by the FBI if he doesn't agree to go undercover in a Mississippi biker gang, they will turn his suspension into six months (Without Pay). He eventually agrees, and enters the "Devil's Playground" with some seriously bad dudes! Anyway, most of these bikers don't trust him but, he catches the eye of the gang leader "Chains Cooper" played by Lance Henriksen. I think he was pretty good in this part! He starts gaining trust with some of them,Except the savage "Ice Hensley" played by William Forsythe. Now he played the real rough,tough bad guy in this film! Eventually Boz realizes he is in over his head, but must see this through without giving up his Identity, but that turns out exactly what happens and they use in for a diversion for "D-Day" That's when they strike back, but of course you know that Boz is not going to give up without a fight!. Hs gets loose, makes alot of noise and kills everyone. The movie never really slows down, but it does have some flaws, But doesn't every movie? All in all this is the best Bosworth movie out there. I have seen all his movies and I'd have to rule this one the best!. So if your into Bikers,Guns,Fights,and total F***ing destruction this is your movie! Make your own decision on this film, don't let your friends make it for you!!!

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!

- GoofsNear the beginning, the bikers are shooting beer cans from each others shoulders. The crowd of bikers is gathered directly behind the guy with the can on his shoulders while the other biker shoots at it at such an angle that the crowd should have been hit.
