This is one of those career stopping straight to video efforts that should never have been made.
I giggle with irony here as this long lost film which for reasons unknown got renamed Bail Out in 1994, has finally landed in the UK shores in a Supermarket cheap DVD range at just 97p! The biggest irony of all of course being that is about what this pile of poo probably cost to make.....
Anyway, I digress....
Leaving aside the fact that my 97p (about 60c for US readers) DVD was utterly terrible in terms of picture and sound quality, brings me on to film itself.
Allow you jaw to drop to the floor in disbelief as you watch some of the worst acting and out of sync dubbing in movie history.
Roll on the floor with laughter at Hasselhoff's introduction scene into this mess as he plays tennis in slow motion, and then later he sings in the shower and attempts to ride a horse - both badly! Giggle incessantly at Linda Blair playing the damsel in distress that is straight out of the Hollywood cheap movie handbook. She must have need the cash methinks....
Go 'Ooooh' at the ten quids worth of recycled special effects.
Belly laugh at the cardboard stereotyped bad guys, the leader of which just has to be seen to be believed. Some of the other stereotypes on offer here are also straight out of central casting.
Needless to say the damsel in distress is kidnapped not once but twice (how careless is that?) and of course is rescued with the usual requisite explosions, gun fights and some weird Mexican fella who appears at a crucial moment before vanishing without so much as a reasonable explanation.
There is also a reasonable gun fight in a scrapyard towards the start that seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the plot whatsoever, in addition no explanation is offered for the Bail Bond guy's mysterious car change in the opening credits.
If you are a fan or collector of Hasselhoff's work, you may want to track this pile of garbage down, especially if you want a laugh.
Everyone else is well advised to steer well clear!
