In the 80's, Brian Bosworth was a big deal. A two time All-American with the Barry Switzer coached Oklahoma Sooners, he wrote his autobiography during his first season with the Seattle Seahawks. Bosworth was a pro wrestler in real life, talking crap on the NCAA, publically claiming he would contain Bo Jackson (he didn't) and trash talking John Elway so much that 10,000 Denver fans bought and wore "Ban the Boz" t-shirts. And those T-shirts? He manufactured and sold them.Yep, Bosworth knew how to play the media game, even if his NFL career ended after three seasons. But what was next?Acting. Of course! And the first film that Bosworth starred in was Stone Cold, a tough cop versus evil bikers epic.Joe Huff (Bosworth) has been suspended for how rough he is on criminals. In fact, the film starts with him decimating several crooks that are robbing a supermarket. A government agent blackmails him into going undercover to stop a white supremacist biker gang, The Brotherhood.The gang is led by Chains Cooper (Lance Henriksen, Near Dark), who is over the top insane. Just seeing the stuff the gang does in the opening montage will give you an idea of how amazing this film is going to be - they shotgun a priest through a stained glass window seconds into the start of the movie.Joe becomes John Stone, but the rest of the gang doesn't accept him. And his FBI contact Lance (Sam McMurray, Raising Arizona) is a germophobe who is really no help at all.To finally be part of the gang, Joe/John has to kill a man. The FBI helps him fake the kill, but Chains' top guy, Ice (William Forsythe, The Devil's Rejects) still doesn't believe in him. Luckily, a high-speed motorcycle chase leads to his death and our hero is in.The gang has one goal: to kill DA Brent "The Whip" Whipperton, who has announced that he is going to become Governor of Mississippi and get tough on crime. They've stolen military weapons and plan on attacking the Supreme Court to save one of their own, the guy who killed that priest.Joe/John falls in love with Nancy, Chains' girl and offers her immunity if she cooperates. But then the man our hero had supposedly killed shows back up and the Brotherhood declares war on him. Chains takes the news that Nancy is cheating on him by shooting her, while he plans on putting a bomb on Joe/John's body and dropping him from a helicopter onto the courthouse.The gang manages to kill the DA, but our hero survives and kicks the poo out of Chains. Yet he is merciful and lets the man live. Bad idea - the villain grabs a gun and comes back for Joe/John, who is saved by Lance.Stone Cold was originally going to be directed by Bruce Malmuth (Hard to Kill, Nighthawks), but personal problems led to the backstory of Bosworth's character being removed from the movie and Craig R. Baxley (Action Jackson, I Come in Peace) taking over.This movie is everything awesome about 80's and 90's action films and their cliches. Yet it's even better, because you have Lance Henriksen writing all of his own dialogue, plenty of explosions, even more nudity, Bosworth's impressive hair and outfits, and a fight scene between WWE's one time heir apparent to Hulk Hogan, Tom Magee (seriously, he had a try out against Bret Hart that convinced everyone that he was going to be someone until everyone realized that Bret was the reason the match was so good) and Bosworth. And hey, how did Bosworth never get into pro wrestling, what with him coming from the same school as Steve "Dr. Death" Williams and being friends with Jim Ross?I have no idea how this isn't a movie that is treasured and celebrated by genre geeks. It's such a time capsule of how one man captivated our attention and became a major star before disappearing.

My summary is not really a compliment at all. Brian Bosworth was not a horrible actor, but was a horrible professional football player. I am surprised that he was not able to get many roles after this one, unless he declined to play villains and secondary characters. He is not star material, he reminds me of Dolph Lundgren, but whereas Dolph seems to recognize that the only roles he is going to get in more big time fare is by not being the lead, my guess is the Boz felt he should be the big cheese in any film he participated in. Still, all the negative stuff aside this movie was not exactly bad. It was enjoyable in places and did provide entertainment as it was very violent and had nudity and all that stuff that were the stuff back in the 80's and early 90's. Brian plays a guy who goes undercover or something to stop these biker dudes who are linked to crimes or something to that effect. The plot is not really important in a film such as this, you watch these films for the action and shoot outs and the boobs and this movie offers plenty. Still, it may have been better had they put someone bigger in the starring role and perhaps even got someone better for the villain role too. Lance Henrickson is a good actor, just did not have the look of a biker leader that he played here.

The release of this movie in the early 1990's elicited a question: Who is Brian Bosworth? Why care if he stars in a film? Answer: Bosworth was 'the Boz', a big name football player for the Seattle Seahawks. His short career as a professional footballer ended because of injuries. With his athletic career ended, a pattern of low-budget films began. Perhaps it was his football persona which enabled him to get the lead as an undercover cop in "Stone Cold".It is an action film with lots of guns, explosions, fighting, and trash talking. Stuff wrestling fans can appreciate. Well-built, brash and cocky with a mullet hair on field, 'the Boz' had the traits to be a pro wrestler. He is the original Stone Cold. A latter interview indicated it was all calculated self-promoting. As in pro wrestling, outlandishness has value. His closest brush with pro wrestling was as a commentator for the failed WWF/NBC venture in the XFL football league in 2001. Fours years later, Bosworth was cast among former and active wrestlers in "The Longest Yard." Bosworth starts off as maverick cop Joe Huff. He first thwarts a supermarket robbery, cementing his role as the formulaic, buff, handsome hero who saves the day. Later, he's forced into going undercover to take down a biker gang—the Brotherhood. It's a biker gang under the leadership of Chains (Lance Henriksen), and his 'deputy' Ice (William Forsythe). Add Six Pack, Greek, Nancy, Mudfish, Gut, Tool and the complete set of the gang's top names are listed. Under his new name, John Stone, Huff does some illegal stuff to build him his gang rep: getting into fights, selling drugs and meeting Chains.The gang's focused on helping one of their members, Trouble Owens (Billy Million), who's serving what amount to a life sentence for murder. But DA Brent 'Whip' Whipperton (David Tress) wants a death sentence! Under heavy military and police security, Trouble's taken to the state's Supreme Court to hear his fate. The Brotherhood storms the place for a bittersweet climatic shootout which gave this movie a let-up from a clichéd ending. High body count everywhere! In a damn cool sequence, Huff walks from the building all bloodied. Police and National Guard forces rushes forward, at times looking back at Joe. He gets more attention from the news media, as reporters ask question and photographers take pictures. But cops hold them back. He's also curious to civilian onlookers. Joe ignores all of them and keeps walking like it was just another day. It's all behind him. No more worries or obligations. People surround him with curiosity. He looks to the side. Freeze Frame. Cue Music. Credits.Although he continues to act, Bosworth hasn't reached the level of top action star. One desire if movie-making was like pro wrestling: Elevate the Boz.

I have the exact same problem with this movie as I do with Road House. Both start out as big, loud, dumb action, and it is 100% fun. Then, it takes itself WAY too seriously.The opening scene in Stone Cold was maybe one of the best beginnings I've ever seen. It was completely ridiculous, but that was what I was looking for--80's action so stupid you smile through the whole thing. By the end, I had lost my smile. Rather than continuing to have the hero easily triumph over cartoonish bad guys, the movie starts to get dramatic and even a little tense as the innocent victims begin to pile up. Having Brian Bosworth infiltrate a biker gang should have been as silly as an episode of C.H.I.P.S., but they went for the emotion. Just like Road House went from being fistfights with drunken goofs to being a total bloodbath, Stone Cold went from being light fun to a drama about a terrorist bombing. That just sucked all the fun out of it for me. Sorry, but I just wanted to be entertained.
