Review by Robert Firsching
The flip side of Crocodile Dundee, this Australian action film has Carl Weathers from the Rocky movies as a Texas bruiser who travels Down Under to locate his missing sister. In the process, he runs afoul of vice kingpin Jurgen Prochnow (turning in another of his standard villainous performances). Cassandra Delaney co-stars in this formulaic revenge yarn, with the theme song "Throw You Down" performed by Holly Robinson (now known as Holly Robinson Peete). It's exactly what you'd expect it to be, and, if you like this type of thing, it's enjoyable, and a far more appealing vehicle for Weathers than Action Jackson was.
