Continuity: Near the beginning, the bikers are shooting beer cans from each others shoulders. The crowd of bikers is gathered directly behind the guy with the can on his shoulders while the other biker shoots at it at such an angle that the crowd should have been hit.

Out cold...

Brian Bosworth stars as John Stone a police officer who goes undercover to infiltrate a band of bikers who are planning on killing a senator and are becoming a problem with the FBI, National Guard and the Senator in question. Lots of carnage ensues. Only in the late 80's and early 90's could a movie this stupid get made. However I loved it! There are so many demented exchanges that I couldn't help but just enjoy what was on screen. My favorite moments of zen were "Times like this remind me of my father's last words, Don't son that gun is loaded!", "You have a clean up on aisle 6" and "He can't his head's all messed up!" suffice to say the last is in reference to a decapitated mobster. (Great stuff) The movie is gloriously dumb with action sequences which make no sense and only exist to give the maximum level of carnage. (Great stuff) Indeed the climax is so wonderfully goofy as to a courthouse that has been massacred(This has got to be the worst security ever) including one such demented moment when the head biker (Lance Henriksen) guns down the begging senator. This is the kind of movie that you watch when you feel that Road House is just too intellectually complicated and not nearly violent enough. Of course for this viewer the more violence the merrier and the stupider the better! Great stuff.
