Traxx
Traxx has battled his way through El Salvador, the Middle East and Nicaragua, spitting lead with two-handed good grace. He decides to retire to a life of baking designer cookies. Running out of dough to buy more dough, he hires himself as a "Town Tamer" and begins cleaning up Hadleyville, Texas, telling the lowlife street scum, "You got three choices. Be good, be gone, or be dead." Like all bacteria, the scum are resistant: crime boss Aldo Palucci (Robert Davi) brings in the dreaded Guzik brothers to rid the town of the town tamer, setting the stage for a showdown in the streets.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Sadly Over-hyped
Please don't spend money on this.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Watch "Commando" or any other Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Segal, etc. action flick and then throw this in as the back half of the double-feature. In fact, make it a triple feature and throw "Big Trouble in Little China" in the mix. If you don't get at least one laugh out of watching this, you take your action movies way too seriously. The scene in the limo where the villains are tossing grenades, running down bicyclists and making someone sing "Old McDonald Had a Farm" with a gun to his head (What sounds does a gazelle make?) should be required viewing for anyone making a film with bad guys in it. If your villain isn't at least as crazy as these guys, go back to the drawing board. Pop some corn, drink some adult beverages, and park your brain - this is a great cheesy movie.
OK so I won't lie friends, I didn't see this movie, but rather I was at a goodwill thrift store today buying shirts and this little VHS gem was hiding under a neatly folded pile of Cosby sweaters on a shelf near the back. I read the posterior of the cassette and couldn't believe the premise of this film. I then looked at the cover and saw Shadow Setvens, and thought to my self, "Man was this guy NOT funny on the old Hollywood Squares, or that show Dave's World". So I set it back down, covered it with Cosby sweaters, made a few glances to ensure no one had seen me pick up that movie, much less read and consider wasting an hour of my youth watching it, and I left. And my life, was never the same.
It has moments of supreme absurdity, like the Working Mother's Daycare in the brothel, and moments of just plain sophomoric grossness, like the way Robert Davi's character dies.Mindless in result, thoughtful in preparation, this is a Zen movie.I discovered it on cable soon after it came out and have owned a copy of it on VHS for years.A movie to be watched with your older teens without embarrassment, and your peers without explanation.Shadoe proves himself to be a master at his character and seems to have had enough sense to realize that he did his best just this once and to leave it at that.The bit players and supporting cast all seem to be having fun and the production values are way above par for such an effort.All in all, a movie that does what it is supposed to and then stops.
A lot of people are badmouthing this movie and, personally, I can't see why. This film is absolutely hilarious.True, in places it has little to no production value, but c'mon man, a guy farts in a car and it blows up, what's not to love?And the jokes "I'll make a kiddie caddie float" while threatening to drown a bunch of kids tied to a cadillac, and "Deiter lost a litre" after his sidekick gets shot. These two lines alone had me laughing at the sheer stupidity of the movie.If you somehow happen across this movie, I would recommend doing it with some friends and some liquor, as a good time will almost certainly ensue.
