They stole his pride and destroyed his family and now he'll do whatever it takes to get justice! Action legend Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon) "makes a great, rawboned blue-collar hero" (Los Angeles Times) in this hard-boiled tale of revenge and retribution! Buck Matthews (Busey) returns to his rural hometown after serving time in prison for a crime he didn't commit, wanting only to live in peace with his beloved wife and daughter. But that peace is irrevocably shattered when a sinister biker gang begins terrorizing the townspeople. When Buck's brave attempt to protect his family from the vicious marauders results in tragedy, he embarks on a one-man war against his evilfoes and even though he's outnumbered and outgunned, he won't give up until the last body drops!

Eye of the tiger

This movie is a good one to watch and getting it from amazon
was the only way i could get it.

What a deal

This was a great movie that my stepparent had told me about so I got it for him for a gift and ended up watching it myself it is a great movie and for the fast shipping and price that just made it even better. Thanks.

Another Gary Busey and William Smith classic!

Busey is one pissed off dude. Coming home after having been in prison for a crime he didn't commit (by Seymour Cassel as a corupt sheriff -- he hasn't aged like fine wine from the days of COOGAN'S BLUFF, where Clint slaps himself across the head for for trying to determine Susan Clark's cup size), his wife is murdered. With the aid of Yaphet Kotto and serious firepower from a prison body he strikes back at the biker gang (who do comply with current helmet laws) -- led by the one and only WILLIAM SMITH. Carnage and decapitations ensue and after a climatic battle all is right once more. It's a guilty pleasure. Watch it when no one is looking!

A Fun Movie! In my opinion, it's possibly Busey's best role.

I recently purchased this, well not purchased, but my dear mom was nice enough to buy this DVD at Ross today for the low price of just $4.00. At first, I actually had no freakin' idea that this was on DVD to begin with. I thought the only available copy was the OOP VHS from USA Home Video (Which is now Lions Gate). It had a cooler cover than the DVD, but before I get back to the movie, I would just like to make a little rant about how the big Hollywood studios (And the greedy sharks that own them) keep changing the cover art (Or force the art department to do so) for DVD releases. This one's a good example. The cover art for the original VHS of this movie made it look fun and imo, somehow dramatic, but this cover looks like it's been made over at MGM using Photoshop. It just doesn't make the movie look good to a buyer. It seems like these studios could really care less about nostalgia and just only care about making it appeal to today's youth. I guess you could also say that the cover for this made it look like a Transporter Rip-Off or a John Woo-type movie from 2001.

Anyway, back to the movie. It's about a Vietnam Vet/Ex-Con (He had been convicted for a crime he didn't commit) named Buck Matthews (Played by Gary Busey in as I stated, quite possibly his best role.) who had just been granted parole and he goes back to his hometown to move on with his life and his family, his wife Christie (Played by Denise Galik) and Jennifer (Played by Judith Barsi from the awful "Jaws 4: The Revenge", may god rest her poor soul). We then see Buck at the police station, where he meets the corrput sherrif (Played by Seymour Cassel) and meets up with J.B. (Played by Yaphet Kotto) Also, Buck encounters a biker gang (The leader Blade, being played by the always awesome William Smith from "Maniac Cop") attacking a nurse, and saves her life and he becomes a town hero. However, it isn't long before the gang attacks Buck's house and kills Christie. Then, the movie starts to move into Death Wish territory.

I do not feel like going further for the moment (I really don't want to spoil anything for anybody), but I will say the rest gets more exciting every minute. That's just my opinion though.

As for the DVD itself, there really isn't much, although MGM did do a good job with the very beautiful widescreen quality. There is a trailer, but that's pretty much it for extras. There could have been like a director's commentary or even a commentary by either Busey or Kotto or all 3, but I really don't know.

Feel free to comment.

I always liked this movie.

I like this movie even though it is old but if the Eye Of The Tiger song by Survivor wasn't part of the film, then I wouldn't have thought much of it. Gary Busey has always been a good actor though and I am surprised that he never made it to the 'A' list as an actor in hollywood. It is a fun movie to watch only once but after a few times it gets boring so if you are picky with your movies...I suggest you don't choose this one. I hope one day there will be a remake of this movie as Eye Of The Tiger (song/movie)deserves to be re-born again.
