Traxx Trailers

Traxx has battled his way through El Salvador, the Middle East and Nicaragua, spitting lead with two-handed good grace. He decides to retire to a life of baking designer cookies. Running out of dough to buy more dough, he hires himself as a "Town Tamer" and begins cleaning up Hadleyville, Texas, telling the lowlife street scum, "You got three choices. Be good, be gone, or be dead." Like all bacteria, the scum are resistant: crime boss Aldo Palucci (Robert Davi) brings in the dreaded Guzik brothers to rid the town of the town tamer, setting the stage for a showdown in the streets.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I was clever enough to purchase this title on VHS after I caught an airing of it back in the eighties. I have seen it at least half a dozen times since then, and just watched it again with my husband and nineteen-year-old son. We were all laughing hysterically all the way through the film. I was afraid it would not have held up after all these years, but my fears were completely unfounded. We add our voices to those who would dearly like to see this released in a higher quality format. Such an offbeat delight! My favorite scene is the GMC "product placement moment, I think.... :-) I look forward to eventually sharing it with my fourteen- year-old, but it is still a little over the top in the violence/adult theme arena, even given the highly satirical context. Shadoe Stevens is phenomenal as Traxx -- his smile alone would redeem a bad storyline -- and since the scriptwriting hits exactly the right note with my sense of humor, the smile is just a bonus. If you can manage to find a copy, and have a well-developed sense of the absurd, see this movie! If you have no sense of humor, avoid it like the plague!

I truly believe that anyone who's a fan of clever writing, plot twists, suspense, great action sequences and drama.............should never watch this film looking for those things! They should watch it, however, to have a good laugh at how bad a movie can truly be. Every second of this movie is entertaining for the sheer fact that it is one of the worst movies ever made. Shadoe Stevens performance is horrible. I love it!!! Someone who can be so unashamedly cheesy and yet so suave at the same time has my respect for all time. If you love laughing at bad movies, Traxx is for you. I'll end with a quote from the theme song....."having trouble with some maniacs?send for traxx"

For anyone to really enjoy this wacky movie...i think you have to be just as wacky. The acting i think is rather good but the movie looks as if they have trimmed it down somewhat. Then again it could be just the budget maybe. Reminds me of Legend when i first seen it..... hmmmmmm LOL . I love this movie as it has some of the funniest moments and lines that you can only hear in it. i won't quote anything from it as this site has everything you need to know about it. If you love movies like loaded weapon...then chance a rental if you can find it. You won't be disappointed !!!

No wonder the studio never released this! Now, I have no objection to moronic humor (as long as it makes me laugh), but the gags here are so incredibly stupid I can't see anyone laughing at this! Technical skills are unbelievably bad - in one shot, you can see the metal tracks the camera was moving on! There's only ONE funny gag - credit card decals at a whorehouse. Now that you've heard the one funny gag, there's no reason for you to see this. Unless...you want to see the actual Famous Amos vomit onscreen.
