Watch Eye of the Tiger For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

good back-story, and good acting

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This movie is basically about some motorbikers killing a man's wife, so the man get's a good revenge on the motorbikers and forces people to join ignorant slobs on his side. Sound's like a terrible movie, right? Surprisingly, not bad, but not good either. It is something that most movies fail to attempt at - make you hate it and love it! This movie is an action packed cheesy 80's gem, starring that one famous actor, Gary Busey! This film may be cheesy, but it's cheesy in a good way! Whoever doesn't like this movie needs some serious help, because although it isn't 10/10, it's still pretty damn good. Gary Busey will impress you with cheesy acting, as you watch this amazing film that ripped off the theme song off Rocky, called, Eye Of The Tiger! 6.3/10!

A war veteran Buck Matthews is released from prison and targeted right from the outset. Buck saves a nurse from being raped and pillaged from a bunch of crazy bikers, but it comes with a price. They get revenge by invading his house and killing his wife, leaving his daughter traumatized. With the help of his friend J.B (Yaphett Kotto) , Buck will look to gain retribution by any means necessary. Despite that he has a reputation of being off his rocker, I love Gary Busey. The man's intensity knows no bounds. I really like exploitation films and decided to check this one out. It has some things you most likely wouldn't see these days, including the bikers literally driving inside of the home of Buck. Another controversial moment is when the Bikers surround Busey and others at a funeral. That was definitely pushing the envelope and I loved it. I wouldn't exactly say I was enthralled with this film. It lags in some places and it isn't anything that is gonna be remembered by even the biggest exploitation fan. You've seen it MANY times before and done better at that. It isn't original in the slightest. It does have enough action and a plethora of explosions to keep you toasty. Gary Busey is great as the lead. His calm demeanor gives way to the intensity we've come to know and love from Busey in the second half when he's out for revenge. You can't go wrong with the Busey, even when he's dealing with mediocre scripts like this one. Yaphett Kotto is OK, albeit a bit corny at times. Seymour Cassell plays a corrupt sheriff to perfection.Final Thoughts: You're not gonna regret anything if you decide to avert this movie. If you're a Busey fan, an exploitation fan, or an action fan, chances are you'll find at least a few things to enjoy about it5.3/10

Gary Busey is fantastic as a just-out of jail Vietnam vet, wrongly imprisoned years before by his hometown Sheriff. He returns home to his wife and daughter, only find himself harassed by the local Sheriff (Seymour Cassel) that had him imprisoned years before. Buck Mathews (Busey) refuses to leave town, so the Sheriff hires the local biker gang to harass Mathews and and his family. Things go too far, and Mathews sets out on a mission of revenge against both the gang, headed by Blade (a maniacal Vernon Wells of Commando fame), and the Sheriff.Eye of the Tiger is a great B-movie. The cinematography and directing are great, and it has a wonderful cast. Yaphet Kotto is perfect as Mathews old buddy, who is now an about- to-retire deputy to the corrupt Sheriff. The two team up to wreak havoc on the biker gang and deal out damage from the ground and air. If you enjoy 80's action, and especially if you like Gary Busey, this is a B-movie worth seeking out. It's a good revenge story, full of good over the top 80's violence, and it has a great cast. Plus, it uses Survivors classic Eye of the Tiger song as it's theme! Whether you are relaxing on a lazy Sunday afternoon, or drinking beers with buddies on a Friday night, if you enjoy 80's action, this movie is for you...

Gary Busey had his best starring role outside of 'The Buddy Holly Story' in this 1986 actioner. He stars as typical 80's action hero, Buck Matthews. He's a decorated Vietnam vet, husband and father, and a wrongly convicted ex-con. Fresh out of prison, Buck heads home to his small town to lie low and reconnect with his family. This plan goes south in a hurry. His parole officer is the sheriff who set him up on murder charges in the first place. Then Matthews runs across the deadly drug-running biker gang who has been terrorizing the town while he was in prison. What makes things worse is the gang and the sheriff are in business together.Matthews rescues a rape victim from the gang one night and receives the wrath of the gang's leader, played by veteran bad guy William Smith. Without giving away a crucial plot point, I will simply say that tragedy ensues. Buck goes on a vengeance spree that would make Charles Bronson proud.This is not the type of movie that is nominated for awards and is discussed on any best movies ever list. It is, however, a fantastic example of the type of action / revenge movies that were popular in the 1970's and 80's. Invite some buddies over, heat up the popcorn, and enjoy this awesome movie.
