Strong and Moving!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Blistering performances.

Eye Of The Tiger isn't bad action revenge fare. It's just isn't the smartest action pic, as if belonging to those Norris's or Van Dammne ones which are purely popcorn suited. Although this didn't have a cinema running, here isn't a bad film, with a simple plot. Vet Busey, returns to his home town, controlled by bikies, and take one guess who the lead is. I'll let you figure that out. Busey was set up by a bad guy cop, Seymour Cassell, who I'm glad he got his just desserts at the end, where I'd rather see Busey smack the s..t out of him, but it wouldn't be much of a fight would it. These mean bikers kill Busey's wife, so he returns fire. They do one despicable thing with her coffin too, I couldn't believe. As always it ends in a showdown of avengement. One funny scene has Busey crashing a bingo game of local townfolk, to make his point, imploring to be heard, but sorrily isn't. They just go back to their game. If you're into revenge, action and some shock violence, then this is the flick for you, but really, it doesn't rise any higher than that. Just sit back and indulge.

Gary Busey gets released from prison and returns to his wife and daughter to live in his hometown. Unfortunately for Gary, his town is now overrun by a biker gang, helped by a corrupt sheriff who is giving Gary a hard time from the first moment he steps foot in town. Then Gary saves a nurse from being gangraped by the bikers and all hell breaks loose. They attack his home and kill his wife. So there we have the setup for an '80s revenge movie. Busey calls in a favor from a drug-lord he saved in prison and gets a weaponized pickup truck. Yeah I said that. Then, because he's a Vietnam vet in an '80s action movie and must be a one-man war machine, he goes about attacking the bikers with guerilla tactics. This, of course, just pisses the biker leader Blade off more. Eventually we head to the showdown between Busey and his buddy Yaphet Kotto in their super truck versus the bikers.It's a by-the-numbers action revenge movie from the '80s. Not one of the best but not the worst either. Somewhere in the middle. The inclusion of the Survivor song is baffling. They even named the movie after it. It really has nothing to do with the movie at all.

It don't matter to me.No, it don't matter that this film doesn't have the greatest actors. Gary Busey does a great job as a Vietnam Vet who comes home to lose his wife to a gang of motorcycle thugs, led by A-number-one total scumbag with a really bad haircut, William Smith. Yaphet Kotto is a perennial favorite of mine, and he does the right thing her. Yeah. And then there is Seymour Cassel as the crooked Sheriff that needs to be taught a lesson.Yes, the story is pretty unbelievable, but that doesn't matter. It's the little guy getting kicked around, the cops on the take, the townspeople who have ceased to care, and scumbags that need to be flushed down the toilet.A guilty pleasure for when you need to get the adrenaline flowing.

This just came on late-night television and I was captivated. It's everything you want in a B-movie. Bikers getting decapitated, hilarious fistfights, and GARY BUSEY. Clearly not a comedy, but I was laughing for half the movie. If you're one of those people (like me) who enjoy brainless 80's action movies, especially ones with non-sequiturs and the most unbelievable dialogue ever written, then you would enjoy EYE OF THE TIGER. I was entertained. I really don't know what else there is to say about this movie. So in closing: Gary Busey.
