    Storyline

    Edit
    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. —Bruce Scott <meampr@alaska.net>

    • Quotes

      Traxx: [refering to criminal who is holding up a pet store] He shot an old lady and a puppy!

      Cop: The old lady was sport, but the puppy... Whew! That was pure genius. He can plead insanity on that one.

    Funny because it is so bad
    I have to agree with Robert, the funniest scene in the movie is the farting/exploding scene. When you see this movie, just put your brain on neutral. And you will enjoy it to the maximum. The plot makes no sense and that is why it is a great movie to watch. I just hope that they release it on DVD. And where the heck is Shadoe Stevens now ? I just bought the VHS tape again and I am planning to make my now grown up daughters see it. Slowly bringing them up to date with bad movies. :)And that one was number one on my list. I am sure they will thank me for it. I am sorry but a fart is always a hysterical thing. And the idea that this guy farts enough to fill the car with the necessary gas to produce an explosion....well all I can say to that is I am sure that a lot of people out there had those kinds of days.
