Yet another Michael Dudikoff movie that I didn't know existed prior to stumbling upon it here in 2025, as part of sitting through a bunch of 1980s and 1990s movies. And since I hadn't already seen the movie before, of course I opted to check out what director George Erschbamer had to offer.

The storyline in the movie was a massive swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me. I quickly lost interest in the narrative that writers George Erschbamer, Jeffrey Barmash and Jim Cirile put together, and the movie never improved, but just continued straight down the same monotonous and pointless lane.

Aside from leading actor Michael Dudikoff, the movie had a couple of other familiar faces on the cast list, that being Garry Chalk and Ken Kirzinger. The acting performances in "Bounty Hunters" were okay, despite the fact that the material they had to work with was rubbish.

This is a very highly forgettable movie, and one that will definitely not grace my screen a second time. Not even the action scenes could do much of anything to lift up the movie, given the dull script.

My rating of "Bounty Hunters" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

I saw this movie yesterday on Netflix and here are my full thoughts on this movie. It's bland & forgettable, it wasn't that great. The pacing is too slow, the acting is bad, the fight scenes are dull & uninspired, but the story is okay though, it makes sense at some places and Michael Dudikoff's character Jersey Bellini wasn't half bad, but even he wasn't enough to save this movie. So in the end of the day, if you got nothing else better to do, then I would recommend watching this movie, just to see how bland this movie really is, but otherwise, I wouldn't waste my time with this movie. I notice that the producers of this movie made a sequel a year later after this, so I may check it out sometime to see if they learn from their mistakes & improved them. 4 out of 10 for me (poor/mediocre).

Rated R for violence, some coarse language, and brief nudity.

Bounty Hunters. Let's see now.. I've seen this not long ago.. The story is all about Jersey Bellini (DUDIKOFF) a bounty hunter who knows what he does best.. Bring in the bad guys..

He teams up with female partner to go after some drug dealers.. Easier said than done especially if somebody puts out a contract on Bellini..

Well thinking about it, it's a good film. Sloppy script though. Even a four year old could write this..

Michael Dudikoff proves he is an action star but it's just a matter of time before someone gives him a real decent script.

Watchable yet highly forgettable Dudikoff film, in this one he's a bounty hunter who teams with rival bounty hunter, B.B., to protect an informant from the mob. Dudikoff's action sequences are perfectly fine if underwhelming, but Lisa Howard who play BB is laughably bad in hers. The chemistry between the two is passable though. Meanwhile a neighborhood kid only exists to be leverage against Dudikoff's character. In a somewhat related gripe, seeing Michael in a backwards hat is just wrong. It's a shame because the opening of the film lulled me into thinking that this direct to video flick would be better than it turned out being.

BOUNTY HUNTERS isn't among my favorite Dudikoff movies, but I wouldn't place it among my least-favorites one either. It's sort of in-between, as I have stuff I like and dislike about it. The pacing is pretty bad, and a lot of parts just seem to drag. Dudikoff and Lisa Howard make a good team, but since in this movie they're paired together for the first time, their characters argue and bicker a lot, and it actually gets a little tiresome after awhile. They're better in the sequel, HARDBALL (also known as BOUNTY HUNTERS 2: HARDBALL). The two accidently get involved with a mobster when they come across a kidnapped woman during one of their busts. The main bad guy is quite lame, and Freddy Andreiuci as Izzy is really annoying, though I like how Dudikoff handles him during the chop shop sequence. The film's strongest asset is it's humor, which is even better in the second movie. Dudikoff working on his home security system, visiting a porno movie shoot looking for someone, and trying to fit in at an all-black night club are very funny moments. But it's just not enough to help sustain the film's bad points, of which there are just enough to make me watch this one less than the sequel.
