Movie Reviews of Snakeeater III
Movie Review: Lorenzo Lamas And Bam Bam Bigelow Summit The Pinnacle Of Canadian Cinema
Summary: 5 Stars
The "Snakeeater" trilogy just keeps getting better! After having seen the first two "Snakeeater" films, I would have never guessed that the series could just keep getting more and more ridiculous. Despite being made in Canada, at least the credits for "Snakeeater III...His Law" are in English this time, unlike in "Snakeeater II." The film starts with a ludicrous robbery in a greasy spoon. Soldier Kelly (Lamas) is back on the police force in this one after spending "Snakeeater II" in an insane asylum. He puts an end to the stealing and kidnapping by confusing the first robber with a ploy that is unrivalled in recent memory. I don't want to spoil the delectability of what happens, so suffice it to say that his actions get him suspended from the force. I know: you're surprised.
His suspension gets a lot of press attention, and a couple, the Mollisons, call Soldier and ask him to freelance for them while he's on the enforced sabbatical from his day job. It seems that their lovely daughter, Vivian (Tracy Hway,) was getting her master's degree in sociology (no good can come of that) and her thesis was on the "Hierarchy of Modern Tribes, Specifically Motorcycle Gangs." (Of course it was.) Vivian found a gang that was willing to let her tag along for a weekend: ten months later she reemerged as an emotionally-scarred hulk a hundred miles away. The Mollisons want Soldier to find the people who did it and exterminate them, as the police are ineffective. Soldier takes the job (his fee: one bag of home-grown tomatoes) and immediately contacts an old friend, Cowboy (Minor Mustain,) a Private Investigator, who agrees to become partners to solve the case. There's also a bunch of ridiculous backstory about Cowboy having once been a biker, etc., but it really just pads the running time.
After Soldier goes antique shopping (!) in what is actually a pretty funny scene, he meets up with his girlfriend, just in time to have to leave her for an emergency at the Mollison house: Vivian is missing. In a shrewd piece of detective work (with a really gross resolution in a moving van) Soldier finds Vivian and returns her home. Cowboy discovers that the biker who took Vivian is named Goose (professional wrestler and genuinely scary persona Bam Bam Bigelow,) and I believe that some others in the audience besides myself would doubt the authenticity of Soldier's confidence in the presence of Goose, particularly when Soldier runs over Goose's Harley and then shoots him in the foot to get information from him. He discovers that Vivian was sold to another motorcycle gang headed by Turk (Chip Chuipka,) and makes a nasty enemy in the process, hence the very elaborate toilet electrocution scene ("There's more than one way to cook a goose,") but I'm getting ahead of myself.
While all that's going on, Vivian's gone again. This time she's been recaptured in the desert hideaway of Turk and company in his near-impenetrable fortress of scum. As you no doubt know, it all comes down to a bullet-laden finale. Cowboy seizes the moment with a snowplow, and Soldier, Cowboy, and Vivian escape to bright futures with the help of some dynamite. At the end Vivian is miraculously turned back into a well-adjusted and beautiful woman, romance flourishes for Soldier, and Cowboy has the clueless lack of self-awareness of a serial third wheel.
The DVD also includes some biographies, a trailer, and a hilarious tribute to Canadian cinema in both French and English. This is the perfect finish to Lorenzo Lamas' epic law and disorder trilogy that unflinchingly and unintentionally commits satire upon so many better movies. If this doesn't make you laugh, you don't like B-movies.
