Carl Weathers deserved better
29 July 2021
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.
