Final Score (1986)
9/10
An absolute classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
28 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Indonesian trash maestro Arizal directs this completely OTT action outing starring Robert Mitchum's son Chris. To be quite honest, it starts off fairly forgettably as a simple revenge flick after Mitchum's wife is brutally raped (in a nasty protracted scene) and killed along with his young son.

However, don't turn off yet because matters do indeed pick up…..and UP…..AND UP!!! In fact, this just gets better and better as it goes on.

In the space of the films ninety or so minutes we are treated to such joyous sights as a man shot in the gonads, a red hot poker thrust up another guys rear end(!), numerous BIG and BEAUTIFUL explosions (a staple in Arizal flicks), some awesome stunt work throughout, a particularly cool car chase scene and some absolutely hilarious voice over work including some truly priceless expletive filled argumentative dialogue between various pursuing villains.

Best scenes? So many to choose from but two especially stand out for me. In one, a group of crooks in a car chasing our hero get hit by a train…their final frantic words are 'You son of a bitch!' shouted in unison before the car explodes! Absolutely awesome!

And secondly, the amazing finale itself which completely defies belief! Mitchum's character on a motorbike drives off of a balcony, flies through the open side door of a helicopter, drops a grenade on the floor and flies out the other side before the helicopter explodes!!!!!! Damn! It just doesn't get any better than this!!!!!!

An absolute bad movie classic!!! Trust me on this, your life simply won't be complete until you've seen this film!!!
