    Hurricane stinker

    No, this is not a follow up to 88's Action Jackson. We just an average actor who's used in random films, and just happens to be an an ex Apollo Creed. This is a second attempt at this kind of thing, crime, sun, surf, sex, danger in the Gold Coast. The first was the little known tele movie, Shark's Paradise, which at least had a original and exciting plot, and hot Aussie stars to boot. Here, to me, the story is just so cliche'd, and one would say pathetic, and that goes too, for the unimpressive quality of this 92 actioner. which ran one week here in Adelaide cinemas. Go figure. Weather's character, who does construction in Texas, earns the nickname Hurricane, on the account of saving his sister, Sally from a nasty actual hurricane, years before. Now she's supposedly hooking for a mobster type guy (Procnow) truly and impressively evil here, it makes you angry, actors of this calibre, deserve much more better Aussie material. Weathers arrives, to not the nicest of welcomes, even from the local taxi driver. He soon finds Sally as disappeared, where of course, he ends up bedding her friend (hottie Cassandra Delaney) also caught up in the pro business with some other nice hotties. He starts to become a nuisance, where we bring on the big guns. The action is unimpressive, yet the actors deliver good performances. Weathers is well, you know, average, and minus the moustache doesn't suit the guy. I like Weathers as a person, and I was interested to see how, he'd bounce off our Aussie folk. He's one of the few good things about this, where Argue, as Delaney's watcher, and employee of Procnow's, is good for laugh fare. The fate of Sally is even cliched, where like at the start and the end of the movie, you'll wanna feed this director to the sharks.

    More of a breeze than a hurricane

    Boring starring vehicle for Carl Weathers, coming two years (though released, barely at that, four years) after his first such attempt, "Action Jackson", but without the same spark or budget; even Weathers himself, although still in peak physical shape, seems bored by the proceedings. Jurgen Prochnow is not an interesting villain at all - he's just disgusting. The film is set in Australia, which in the screenwriter's mind seems to indicate that people should say "mate" every two minutes. There is a 15-minute burst of action at the end (there is hardly any action until then), which does feature some good stuntwork and slightly redeems the picture. *1/2 out of 4.

    A Carl Weathers epic!

    The movie Hurricane Smith on its' own, well, isn't very good. You've seen the story before: A man seeks a lost one in a far off land and violence somehow ensues. It's a fish out of water story as a Texas roughneck battles Aussie rednecks. But the roughneck is Carl Weathers! (Apollo Creed to all you Rocky fans) Weathers exudes a determined and righteous presence that is very rare. And his intensity makes the movie great. The script could have played up the hostilities of this novel setting a bit more, but that may have been asking to much of such a movie. But Carl Weathers makes it worth watching. Why he has never risen above Apollo Creed is beyond me.

    great movie!

    This was a good movie! Better than i expected! Carl weathers was great and the action and story was pretty good.One thing that really blew me away about this movie was how great the music was,it sounded like one a those old soundtracks from the 70's or the early 80's. Also the actress who played carls love interest was great...she had a real warmth about her...maybe it's me..but austrlia seems to be making some of best movies in the biz...great movie! Lately it seems like all the good stuff is coming from down under! Everything i've seen in recent years seems pretty fun..not pc like hollywood pics...and defenatly not cold and boring.....like the dribble out of europe....anyway check out this flick you will not be disapponted.

    Carl Weathers deserved better

    Hurricane Smith is a low budget action movie that would be instantly forgettable if not for Carl Weathers as it's charismatic lead. Jurgen Prognow is in place here as a villain and he is a great one. The movie is a low quality Austrailian action movie that is made watchable pretty much only by Prognow and Weathers. It seems like Carl Weathers really put forth an effort into this, but it is a big step down from the awesome Action Jackson. Carl Weathers also shaved his moustache for some reason. Overall I was disappointed in this and Carl Weathers deserved to have better action vehicles than this. He was(and still is) in great shape, had great screen presence and charisma and unlike a lot of big names in action, Carl Weathers can actually act. As far as I am concerned, I always regarded Weathers in the same league as Arnold and Sly, it's a shame that he didn't have the same level of success that he definitely deserved.
