I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Good idea lost in the noise

good back-story, and good acting

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

A wily Boston bounty tracker, with a martial arts background, comes to LA to visit his brother who was employed in a company unfortunately with a businessman holding damaging evidence involving a white collar criminal. This crook hires merciless, cold-blooded mercenaries to hunt down and kill anyone that could keep him behind bars. When they murder the bounty tracker's brother and wife, he makes it his mission to take them all down. What they don't anticipate is his toughness, fighting prowess, and ability to escape numerous efforts to rid themselves of their menace.Lorenzo Lamas was one of those lower tier, made-for-cable / made-for-satellite action heroes, much like Don 'The Dragon' Wilson. There was a comfortable living to be made in the early 90s for these guys. And Bounty Tracker (1993) is one of my favorites from Lamas' low budget action resume. It doesn't task him with trying to win any thespian honors, and Lamas is allowed to look like a badass. He gets in a handicapped fight against three or so karate fighters in a dojo and makes mincemeat out of them. He avoids lots of gunfire while everyone else isn't so lucky. He simply goes to ask about main nemesis Matthew Hues (a forgotten heavy who was a regular in these types of VHS rental shelf fodder) to Judd Omen's wheel-chair cripple (back broken by Hues for simply wanting to leave his entourage!), after driving around to identify a specific tattoo, and it costs the innocent man his life! Omen's pupil, a kid he mentors, wants to get even also, and, with a couple of wannabe hoods, joins Lamas in his quest to rid LA of scum offering their mercenary duties to those with the coin to afford them. Cyndi Pass is memorable as a hot body mercenary equally as willing to kill anyone as Hues. Eugene Glazer is the classic rich cretin with a serpentine smile and devious mind, using his financial resources (surely accumulated through whatever shady method or heinous act he could accomplish) to get himself out of prison where he belongs. This is the kind of action movie where most people who come in contact with Lamas wind up dead except him. There's a lot of violence, with the likes of fists, kicks, and bullets. One scene has Hues, Pass, and their team of killers just opening up a wave of gunfire on a company of employees, and later they show no mercy on an outpost of cops who were a task force working to find them! The implausibility of how one man (Lamas) could survive while so many others are obliterated is yet again stretched to the max. The film builds to seeing those behind the killing spree (both the moneybags and weapons of destruction) get their just desserts and Lamas is comfortable on screen just getting the opportunity to flex his fighting skills and persevere on top. The plot is especially simple and cliché.A select audience is who this film is intended for. Conclusion in an auto junk yard does seem like a fitting location for a film such as this. Lamas has an array of punches and kicks to Hues certain to impress…the film goes out of its way to make him look like a million bucks. Hues often is featured as an intimidating presence against inferior foes and starts off well against the hero of these flicks, only to get embarrassed by the end of the fight…this is the same way. This doesn't re-invent the wheel. If you are okay with that, this might work.

Greetings from Lithuania."Bounty Tracker" (1993) was one of the movies i watched dozen of times when i was 8-10 years old on my old VHS cassette. What a great actionier that was. Recently i stumbled on this flick on TV, and with enjoyment i re watched it. 19 years have past since i last time saw it, and it's still is an interesting action thriller. I always taught that Matthias Hues / Erik Gauss was one of the most deadliest villains in a movies - yes, i know it's a B flick made specifically for videos, with kinda one dimensional characters, but still, he was a very cool villain.Overall, 9/10 for "Bounty Tracker" - it delivers exactly what it promises to deliver and more - cool action scenes, deadly villain and charming , cool and bad ass Lorenzo Lamas - you can't ask for more.

A movie with both Lorenzo Lamas and Mathias Hues sounded really interesting. And I wasn't disappointed. Hues plays the bad guy as he always does, but this time he's on top instead of second in command. Lamas is of course the hero. Although the movie contains one long and very entertaining fight scene, it's not a typical martial arts movie. Hues, for example, doesn't fight a lot, and he doesn't show us that much of his skills when he does. So don't get fooled by the video-cover, where it looks like some kind of arena-fighting movie. Despite of this, the movie is good. A normal (but fitting, as always) vengeance-plot with some cool scenes makes this more than OK.

This is Matthias at his gorgeous best! If you like him in Black Belt, I come in Peace, even Kickboxer 2 (as brief as his appearance was), you'll love him in this one. He is as fit and looks as good as I've ever seen him.The plot is predictable, of course. We all know how what will happen in the end, but who cares!? You're in heaven every time Matthias is on the screen.His presence overtakes the movie. He should have had top billing instead of 2nd billing. Matthias is what makes the movie really worth watching, especially his 1st fight sequence! Rent, or buy this one. You'll want to watch it over and over again. I guarantee if you are not a Matthias fan before, you'll be one after. Catch it, and you'll keep on catching it! Over and over and over again.
