There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

OK,first up,you have to overlook the immediately noticeable poor video quality once you've placed this cinematic masterpiece into your DVD player(or downloaded it,but lets face it, its 99p in most stores,the cover artwork is worth it alone!).If you can get past this first hurdle, you then have to face an opening soundtrack that can only be what some studio had left once Debbie had done Dallas,and Emanuelle had gone into space.....bring on the Porno-Funk!!!But believe me once you pass this you are going to witness what must be the the most ridiculous movie committed to celluloid ever...but it so unashamedly knows it,and for that it is brilliant.The Hoff swaggers his way through tennis practice,hot showers,product advertisement(i wasn't aware tennis and sportswear manufacturer Head made car interiors,but some lingering shots in this film make sure I,and anyone else who has watched this,now do!),oh yeah and gunfights with stereotyped Columbian gangsters(who seem like they were also left overs from the same studios as the soundtrack).The plot is like a stretched out episode of Baywatch,minus the beach and the women,with badly shot stunts,car chases,(oh yeah,check the overdubbing on the Hoffs car to give it a bigger roar,it revs when he is parking!!)and random filler scenes...the supporting cast,including a much more scary than in the Exorcist Linda Blair,are OK enough,but lets face it,as with all his projects,The Hoff and his immaculately placed hair are the stars of the show,resulting in cheesy lines,cheesy grins and cheesy slow mo''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSS'' before a dive to shoot down the badguys helicopter.With a flare gun.Classic!Also notice the long pause between said slo mo and actual firing of missile.On a rope.(you'll see what i mean.)Basically Hoff is one of a trio of bounty hunters,Linda Blair the rich heiress caught with a drugs baron,then kidnapped,Hoff and pals try and rescue her,including heading to Mexico,all for a lousy five grand paycheck(plus the endorsement money from Head!)Now it might sound like i hated it,but all the badly made elements fall together nicely to form a so-bad-its bad-its good masterpiece,like a season of Baywatch squeezed into 90 minutes,tacky,cheap but goddamn irresistible!

Writer, Director Max Klevin delivers one of the best films of the modern Hollywood era with this thrill a minute movie based in the shadowy world of bail bondsmen and Colombian nutters. Almost all of Klevin's previous work has been in stunt coordination and this shines through with cars going through walls and people falling off horses all the time!!! As ever The Hoff delivers a faultless performance and his fans will share his delight when he brings down the baddies helicopter with a flare gun and punches the air with delight. Throughout the film Hasselhoff brings his superior ability right to the fore and delivers his one liners like a seasoned comedian.The support cast is also very strong with Linda Blair playing a confused heiress like she was a confused heiress in real life. Nobody else famous though.The most surprising thing about Bail Out is that it didn't spawn any sequels or spin-offs. The buddy buddy aspect of the film is on a par with Lethal Weapon and new adventures for this team would have been lapped up by an eager audience. Ideas for spin-offs could have incorporated White Bread and a lot of babes setting up a female bail bonds team and getting into mischief while wearing bikinis. Or White Bread could have to make sure the real life David Hasselhoff shows up for court (on trumped up charges) thereby allowing The Hoff to play two parts in the same film - namely White Bread and David Hasselhoff. I would love to see David Hasselhoff playing two parts (such as twins, one good and one bad preferably) as he does this so well in Jeckyll and Hyde the musical.Oh yeah - if you like horses this film should be avoided as lots of horses look to get hurt.Joe and Stu thought it was ace. I thought it was ace.

The Hoff is on fire in this hilarious action comedy. Not only is his acting Olivieresque, but his fashion sense is also second to none. 'Bail Out', funded by sportswear company, Head, is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular films in cinematic history, peaking towards the finale with the Hoff's triumphant celebration after shooting down the evil helicopter with a flare gun. The 'two arms aloft' ecstatic cry leaves many would-be cinema goers wondering how this genial colossus of a film was ever taken straight onto VHS format. And Thank God somebody had the sense to bring Bail Out to the future generations when they decided to forward it onto the more modern DVD format. Also praise be to Tesco for not only displaying Bail Out on it's shop floors, but also for pricing this masterpiece at the CRRRAAAZZZZYYYY price of 97 pence. All Hail 'The Hoff'! Best line- 'Hit the road f**k face!'

Apparently when David Hasselhoff read the script and saw his on screen partners would be a Hispanic character and a token afro American he thought "my god i can feel the on-screen chemistry already!" - HE WAS WRONG! DEAD WRONG! When you see this film you really just want to say "gee Dave music really is the best career for you!" this film is unbelievably confusing, for starters its never explained why Hasselhoffs character is called Whitebread! AWESOME!!! The film is described as an action comedy which it is in a way, Hasselhoff wandering around trying to save some bint from drug lords whilst waving a pistol around like its a sock is some of the best unintentional comedy ever! The only explanation for Linda Blair agreeing to do this movie is that the priest didn't do a good enough job! as she must have been temporarily possessed by the demons of straight to the 99p bin in asda, ironically i bought this movie for 2p less in tesco, i could have spent it on something far more entertaining like a bath mat! all in all you should see this film if only to see Hasselhoffs awesome guns!
