My review was written in May 1989 after a Cannes Film Festival Market screening.
Sybil Danning executes something of a self-parody in the lame action vehicle "L. A. Bounty", a minor title for video usage.
Also co-producing and providing the weak storyline, Danning portrays a macha bounty hunter patterned after Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name, including his trademark mannerisms and cheroots. There the resemblance ends.
She's after nemesis Wings Hauser, a wigged-out artist and drug kingpin with a price on his head. Hauser has mayoral candidate Robert Hanley kidnapped and Danning is one step ahead of the police in trying to free him and put away Hauser for good.
Director Worth Keeter includes a lot of filler in this uninvolving opus. Hauser is allowed to ham it up preposterously while Danning, unflatteringly photographed, merely looks sullen.
Best technical credit is the often rousing musical score by Howard Leese and Sterling, which fails to disguise how listless the action scenes are.
