Bounty Tracker

A movie with both Lorenzo Lamas and Mathias Hues sounded really interesting. And I wasn't disappointed. Hues plays the bad guy as he always does, but this time he's on top instead of second in command. Lamas is of course the hero. Although the movie contains one long and very entertaining fight scene, it's not a typical martial arts movie. Hues, for example, doesn't fight a lot, and he doesn't show us that much of his skills when he does. So don't get fooled by the video-cover, where it looks like some kind of arena-fighting movie. Despite of this, the movie is good. A normal (but fitting, as always) vengeance-plot with some cool scenes makes this more than OK.

This is Matthias at his gorgeous best! If you like him in Black Belt, I come in Peace, even Kickboxer 2 (as brief as his appearance was), you'll love him in this one. He is as fit and looks as good as I've ever seen him.

The plot is predictable, of course. We all know how what will happen in the end, but who cares!? You're in heaven every time Matthias is on the screen.

His presence overtakes the movie. He should have had top billing instead of 2nd billing. Matthias is what makes the movie really worth watching, especially his 1st fight sequence! Rent, or buy this one. You'll want to watch it over and over again. I guarantee if you are not a Matthias fan before, you'll be one after. Catch it, and you'll keep on catching it! Over and over and over again.

Lorenzo Lamas plays a long haired bounty hunter. Sound familiar? (Renegade) Well that's where the similarity ends. His rich brother is dead and he is on the trail of his killers in his brothers porsche. He hooks up with three home boys out to avenge the death of their mentor. Together they kick ass. There is a major martial arts scene where he takes on the whole dojo only to find the master waiting to do him in. Between barbs he catches his breath before taking on the master. It has got to be the longest stretch of karate footage in any of his movies(5 min.)and he shines. As he picks up a pole he gives out a deep "kiya" but doesn't get hurt till they turn to swords. This only gets you ready for a rough action scene at the end with Mathias Hues. The actions great. The double meanings come at you so fast you have to watch it a dozen times to make sure you got them all. And you'll enjoy it more each time you do!

Rent this one if you want to see Lorenzo Llamas kick some serious butt. Plot is a throwaway, natch, with dialogue to match. But Kurt Andersen is an action director to watch, and he serves up some great fight scenes, including a sequence in a dojo that has to be seen to be believed.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Bounty Tracker" (1993) was one of the movies i watched dozen of times when i was 8-10 years old on my old VHS cassette. What a great actionier that was. Recently i stumbled on this flick on TV, and with enjoyment i re watched it. 19 years have past since i last time saw it, and it's still is an interesting action thriller. I always taught that Matthias Hues / Erik Gauss was one of the most deadliest villains in a movies - yes, i know it's a B flick made specifically for videos, with kinda one dimensional characters, but still, he was a very cool villain.

Overall, 9/10 for "Bounty Tracker" - it delivers exactly what it promises to deliver and more - cool action scenes, deadly villain and charming , cool and bad ass Lorenzo Lamas - you can't ask for more.
