... View MoreWhile this movie is enjoyable to watch, it is by no means a masterpiece in storytelling. Despite being classed by many as a "B-role" film or an "indie classic", it is clear that in 1991 this movie was well funded though possibly not well advertised.The best attributes of the film is wardrobe and camera use. Throughout the film, unique and interesting camera angles are used in a way that is seldom seen today and what characters lack in depth is made up for in wardrobe.While 'biker gang' is how the antagonists are labelled, the frequent use of Neo-Nazi and confederate flag imagery makes it clear that the group is more of a 'white power supremacist cult' than 'biker gang'. Despite this clearly being a 'white supremacist cult' none of the regular tropes to white supremacy are used other than violence, murder and drugs.Over all this film is terrible to watch but great to know about if you don't go into the film expecting much you won't leave disappointed!
... View MoreVery entertaining action film with a memorable hero, Boswoth, and a very memorable villain, Lance Henriksen. Naturally, airborne motorcycles crashing into helicopters requires a certain, check that, a total suspension of disbelief. Henriksen is at his evil pinnacle in this film, espousing some extremely quotable dialog to boot. Logic is totally thrown out the window, in favor of a quick pace, great stunts, and brutal brawls. Very few films are as action packed as "Stone Cold". There are several moments of very dark humor mixed with the mayhem, and if you are in the mood for mindless entertainment, here is a movie that delivers exactly what it promises. Recommended of its type. - MERK
... View MoreAh, "Stone Cold"... what a classic! In the Tradition of "Cobra", he puts the "force" in "enforcement"! John Stone (The Boz) is a cop who goes undercover in a biker gang to weed out the leader, Chains (Henriksen) and his dangerous crew.Okay, the plot isn't much, but how about that Mullet! Only in 1991 can you get away with that hair. Boz has a couple of good lines like "Cleanup on aisle 4", very reminiscent of Cobra's "I don't shop here".Henriksen always puts in an excellent performance. He's at his best as the villain. Forsythe looks young (and a little heavy) here, but he doesn't disappoint. The climax at the courthouse is hilarious! You gotta see it to believe it! One of the funniest cop movies ever, "Stone Cold" will always hold a special place in my heart.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
... View MoreI have the exact same problem with this movie as I do with Road House. Both start out as big, loud, dumb action, and it is 100% fun. Then, it takes itself WAY too seriously.The opening scene in Stone Cold was maybe one of the best beginnings I've ever seen. It was completely ridiculous, but that was what I was looking for--80's action so stupid you smile through the whole thing. By the end, I had lost my smile. Rather than continuing to have the hero easily triumph over cartoonish bad guys, the movie starts to get dramatic and even a little tense as the innocent victims begin to pile up. Having Brian Bosworth infiltrate a biker gang should have been as silly as an episode of C.H.I.P.S., but they went for the emotion. Just like Road House went from being fistfights with drunken goofs to being a total bloodbath, Stone Cold went from being light fun to a drama about a terrorist bombing. That just sucked all the fun out of it for me. Sorry, but I just wanted to be entertained.
