Review of Cocaine Wars

Cocaine Wars (1985)
4/10
Bo Duke is the South American John Rambo
27 December 2019
Hilariously awful Rambo knock-off has John Schneider, The Dukes of Hazzard's Bo Luke himself, as Miami DEA agent Cliff Adams, out to take down a South American drug kingpin. The story is completely ridiculous and involves Schneider's reporter girlfriend getting kidnapped in an attempt to blackmail Cliff into killing the president, but no one is really going to watch this movie because you actually thought it would be good, right? "Cocaine Wars" is an absolute 80s cheese fest in the best sort of way. Cheesy music, a cheesy star, and a cheesy ripped-from-the-headlines story about scary drugs. Produced by Roger Corman's New Horizons, that should be a major tip-off for that this would be a silly action flick (that or the fact that Rotten Tomatoes has no critic or audience score this movie because it's so low budget and/or so forgotten). Venerable Hollywood character actor Royal Dano does appear in the film, but the only reason to watch this film is for so-bad-it's-good 80s nostalgia purposes.
