    A must see for trash fans

    If the audience is craving for dumbass dialogues, worst female acting and ridiculous plot und an annoying score, the Donahues deliver!

    For a film that never attempted to be a comedy, this is great fun. The villain is remarkable as well! Don't forget to invite some friends over and get some beer for the perfect VHS retro trash evening...

    Might be one of the funniest movies ever made...

    Although my summary might suggest sarcasm, I assure you that I seriously consider this to be one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I received this movie as a gag birthday gift and my initial reaction to the DVD cover was "Wow, this looks awful!", but I decided to give it a chance anyway. To my surprise, this movie turned out to be a comedic gem. What actually makes this movie so hilarious is that it takes itself so seriously. I am sure that the makers of this movie had every intention of creating a gritty action/crime drama, but they failed on every level. Between the unbearable acting, terrible dialog, God-awful stunts and absurd characters you are left feeling visually and mentally raped if you take a serious approach at watching this movie. Instead, watch this movie with a non-critical eye, trying to see it as funny and you may actually end up thoroughly entertained. As a serious movie it is a complete crap fest, but as a comedy I give it a 9 out of 10. The only reason I didn't rate this movie a full 10 was due to the lack of gratuitous nudity. You will find that there are many scenes where nudity or sex seems inevitable, but never happens. In my opinion, this is the only disappointing factor. Regardless, sit back and enjoy the masterpiece that is "Parole Violators".

    if Wile E Coyote made B-Movies it might well resemble, Patrick G. Donahue's vastly under praised, dopamine-injected DTV doozie!

    Sean 'Blood Hands' Donahue is the implausibly resilient, zero tolerance Miles, disillusioned ex-cop turned righteous video vigilante, using one steely, muscular hand to film the parole violating skells, the other as his clenched, iron-hard hammer of ultimate vengeance, always primed and cocked to permanently retire recidivist criminals, sending their ragged, busted-up remains to the misbegotten hell that spawned them! BOOM!!!!! It is a genuinely elusive thrill to discover a bodacious B-Movie that is quite so generously stuffed to bursting point with audaciously entertaining weirdness and untamed psychotronic madness, but 'Patrol Violators' is all that and a freebie packet of gin-soaked prophylactics! There's a trauma-inducing, super-freaky logic to the Donahue brother's energized,low budget, high-test, high impact fight frenzy schematics! If you don't understand something, kick it!!! Shoot at it!!! Shout at it!!! Or throw yourself manfully on top of a rapidly moving vehicle! Right on! Miles is one tenacious Video Cop!!!

    From the gutsy opening sequence wherein the despicable sleaze, Chino (Rey Garcia) is released from a 5-year stretch, the giddy viewer discovers somewhat ironically that 'Parole Violators' takes no prisoners, as pint-sized, powerhouse kickboxing crim-killer, Miles and his honourable Kung Fu crusade to righteously clean up the skell-encrusted streets is an unrelenting tour de force of spleen-shattering, Bad Guy busting, bullet-thrashing bellicosity that is wholly unsurpassed in its relentless, fur-flailing ferocity! The vivid, non-stop action and hyperactive weirdness makes 'The Miami Connection' look like month old baloney! As the dangerously nerve-strafing stunts, stupendously earnest, unfiltered 'acting' and frequent grisly-gory fight scenes overwhelm you like, Jim Van Bebber's 'Deadbeat at Dawn' on tainted Donkey biscuits!

    Rigorously maintaining DTV action movie protocols, the 'maniacal climax in the Abandoned Warehouse' is a triumphant symphony of generously blood-spattered, awesomely acrobatic svelte-limbed savagery and gonzo Gun Fu mayhem! But be prepared to put reality into a blender while you experience 'Parole Violators' as you shall never see action movies in quite the same way again! In summation, I sincerely feel that the astronomically bonkers 'Parole Violators' has the kind of singularly frenzied, hyperbolic madness you only generally see in a Godfrey Ho 'cut n' paste-Ninja epic', and if Wile E Coyote made B-Movies it might well resemble, Patrick G. Donahue's vastly under praised, dopamine-injected DTV doozie!

    Unreal B Action Movie

    Took a chance on this one after seeing a RLM best if the worst and seeing the positive reviews and this movie does not disappoint from the heavy gunfire, explosions, roundhouse kicks to the driving synth soundtrack that never lets up for a second in the movie. This movie kicked ass, made me laugh and kept me entertained, that's the mark of a b movie gem.

    This film actually made it to DVD?

    I try to find something good about every film that I watch but I was unable to find any redeeming factor even remotely associated with this wack job of a movie. Parole Violators seemed like a good buy at the dollar store but the truth is that it will rob 90 minutes of your life that you will never get back. The bottom line is poor acting along with poor script..... makes for a very painful viewing experience. The cast and crew do deserve an award for making one of the worst films of modern times. This is one of those films that probably makes perfect sense after chugging 9 or more beers. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one even if someone is trying to pay you to watch it. I'm normally an upbeat person but this film is a total wally.
