    Lacking in Spots

    I had high hopes for Rachel McLish's starring vehicle 'Raven Hawk' after seeing her in 'Iron Eagle 3'. Unfortunately this revenge tale centered around murder and the stealing of Indian land has one note greedy racist villains, surface level only themes. It's not a complete loss, but this action trip is mostly by the numbers.

    Rhyia Shadowfeather (McLish) watched her parents be murdered as a young girl by men (Michael Champion, Dick Warlock, Mitch Pileggi and William Atherton) who wanted them to approve land for development. With false testimony and help of the corrupt Sheriff (Ed Lauter), she's blamed for their deaths & remanded to a mental hospital. That is until 12 years later she escapes a transfer to prison and immediately picks up making these men pay for what they have done.

    Once they start getting picked off one by one, three big hired killers are brought in to take her out in typical action movie fashion. There's a half Indian Federal Marshall (John Enos III) subplot used for story beats, but it's really Rachel's show. Her buff look, cast of faces (Mitch Ryan & John De Lancie appear too) and memorable freefall stunt work go in the plus column. Desert scenery and some good aerial photography too.

    'Raven Hawk' with some Western elements ultimately has nothing new to say and the action isn't always shot that well. Perhaps a troubled production (not a first for director Albert Pyun) is partly to blame. The ending is certainly nothing to write home about. Dtv fans might wanna give it a go, but you'll have to agree McLish's inclusion is what got you here in the first place.

    Just like the title RavenHawk, the movie showed insight into an insidious environmental problem.

    I saw this awhile ago and bought the VHS for my own personal collection, because if the storyline is worthwhile I like to see it again and again. I thought Ravenhawk was good in that it called attention to an environmental problem of polluting both air and water with nuclear waste. It pointed to the problem of corruption in high places with corrupt officials who were part of the problem and heroically enough to those dedicated individuals, such as Del Wilkes played by John Enos, who persist in seeing the problem through to the solution. In the end, Del wound up killing one of the perpetrators himself, knowing the guy would be out of jail within the hour and beat the charges within a year. I'm not saying this was the answer, but John Enos did a beautiful job in the story, doing the research necessary to get to the bottom of the problem, despite interference from the Sheriff himself, whom Del later knocked out which probably caused a further investigation, since this was witnessed by yet another observer. Sadly many of these problems are solved later than sooner, but in THIS case, the plant was shut down and yet it was interesting to see that corruption continues on to this day, as some of the officials were exonerated despite wrongdoing. I thought this film drew attention to some of the problems of the American Indian on reservations as well as environmental issues. I enjoyed Rachel McLish's role, but let's not overlook JOHN ENOS contribution to the movie, because John has a real presence, makes an impact, and I for one would like to see much MORE of him in BIGGER and BETTER roles. Let's not waste this guys gifted talent.

    Entertaining female revenge flick .......

    "Ravenhawk" turns out to be far better than one might expect of a TV movie. Rachel McLish is wrongly convicted of killing her parents, to the benefit of a large toxic waste recycling plant. Twelve years later she escapes from confinement and unleashes revenge on the villains who set her up. This comes across like a female version of "Rolling Thunder", with McLish instead of William Devane dishing out the punishment. The desert locations are used to full advantage, and there is a nice assortment of stunts. If you would enjoy a buffed female heroine in place of the usual, usual, then seek this one out. I thoroughly enjoyed "Ravenhawk". - MERK

    Bad guys listen to Italian operas, don't they?

    American Indian Shadowfeather (bodybuilding queen Rachel McLish) stops desecration of holy ground by industrial corporation and avenges her family. Similar to Steven Seagal's `On Deadly Ground', `Ravenhawk' is a tough action movie pretending to say something about ecological matters and the rights of minorities. You needn't buy that, but it's tremendous entertainment anyway. Director Pyun always had great landscapes in his movies, I wish I could watch this at the cinema instead of playing a videotape. There are some beautiful shots you won't forget, for example Shadowfeather climbing on the cliff (a tiny human lost on a giant rock), or riding on her horse across the industrial estate (when nature meets technology in stark contrast). Shadowfeather has to face an impressive opponent: William Atherton (`Die Hard 2') plays the bad guy, you'll easily notice that because he wears black and listens to Italian operas instead of country'n'western – now that's what I call suspicious behaviour (just kidding). If you like Norris and Seagal movies, check out Rachel here. She worked hard for it.
