Movie Reviews of Stone Cold
Movie Review: Finally on DVD...the quintessential late night cable TV action flick
Summary: 5 Stars
At last, I can retire my played-to-death VHS recording from Cinemax. This is a certified 5-star great "bad" movie. Bosworth really can't act, and yet, he does a great job with the lead character. Arabella Holzbog REALLY can't act, which probably explains why this flick didn't make her a household name. Her presence is required to set up a pretty predictable plot twist that happens in the second half of the film. I won't give a spoiler, but if you don't see this one coming from a mile away, you probably haven't watched a lot of movies. No one's going to accuse the writers of pushing the envelope.
But the one-two punch of Lance Henriksen and William Forsythe as biker bad guys? I've seen a number of movies from both actors, ranging from big budget to no budget, and this one's my all-time personal favorite. Henriksen really chews up the scenery, savoring every last bit of bad-guy bravado. Forsythe goes for the real 1% turf. Together, they're the reason why you'll watch this more than once.
Like any good "bad" movie, this one's going to require you to suspend disbelief, and on more than one occasion. There's an abundance of things "blowing up real good," and lots of chunky, fuzzy rhythm guitar in the soundtrack.
Sam McMurray, as Bosworth's germ-phobic undercover sidekick, adds a touch of heavy-handed comic relief to the gunshots and roar of heavy metal thunder.
Drugs! Bikers! Undercover cops! Explosions! Face it, when you're flipping channels late on a Friday or Saturday night, this exactly the kind of flick you're hoping to stumble upon. Stumble no more.
Movie Review: Stone Cold
Summary: 5 Stars
Joe Huff is a cop who is angry at the system for handling criminals with kid gloves. Joe is on suspension, but the FBI gives him an opportunity to go undercover in Mississippi and infiltrate "The Brotherhood," a white supremacist biker gang that runs drugs. In the Brotherhood, each member legally changes his name to his Brotherhood nickname. The Brotherhood is led by a violent psychopath named Chains Cooper. Joe rechristened "John Stone" accepts the job, even though he's not happy about it. His FBI contact, Lance, doesn't really look at home in biker bars. And the members of the Brotherhood, especially Chains, have their doubts about Joe, who wants a piece of their action. Joe has to kill a man as his initiation. With the FBI's help, he carefully fakes a murder and is accepted by everyone except for Chains's right hand man Ice, who still thinks Joe's an undercover cop. If you truly enjoy watching action movies, Stone Cold is a must see.Movie Review: stone cold is stone wicked

i originally saw this movie on vhs when it first hit the video store.i waited patiently to get it on dvd.i admit that brian bosworth isnt the greatest actor on the planet but he is by far not the worst.in this movie though he did a fine job as an undercover cop gaining the trust of a notrious biker gang leader.william forsyeth played the character "ice ",the brotherhoods enforcer,very well.often overlooked as an acter,in this movie he found a good fit.just sit back and watch this flick and get ready for a good time.i guarantee it will hold your attention and leave you wanting to recomend it to your co-workers on monday morning.the brotherhood is a motorcycle gang you wont forget and john stone is a character you wont forget either,just let your woman watch with you and you will have her droolin. all in all stone cold is an excellent watchMovie Review: Mr. Stone goes to Washington
Summary: 5 Stars
The biker film makes a big comeback! Bosworth is not bad as undercover super-cop stone trying to bust a gang before they can carry out an insane plot that becomes a suicide mission as they storm the white house! Scene stealers Henriksen and forsythe are the epitome of charismatic psychos. The stunts in this are amazing with people jumping out of helicopters, motorcycle crashes, falls, brawls, and not to mention all the explosions and gun fights. The dialog is right-on as the tough talk, insults, and comebacks fly fast and furious. The body count would make Rambo proud and earns its "R" rating. I would put this movie up there with the best of what Schwarzeneger could do at the time.Movie Review: Great to have it on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this jewel on VHS when it came out...now it's great to finally have it on DVD. I'm probably partial to this movie since I live in Little Rock, the city in which Stone Cold was filmed (that's the Arkansas state capitol during the final "blow-em-up" fight scenes). But still, it's not a bad action film at all. And there are so many local stories around here regarding the filming (especially from those who watched the chopper fly street level down Capitol Avenue). I just wished there were "extras" on the disc. What you get is just the movie, plus scene selections. Get this while you can...it's a great addition to your DVD collection (and fun to watch).
