I think Final Justice deserves a much higher score than the current 1.8, in fact it doesn't even belong on the bottom 100 list. That said, Final Justice (just one more justice, please)is by no means a good movie. It is almost exactly average.Joe Don Baker is kind of like the poor mans Steven Seagal, but without the martial arts, his acting, is just about average. The plot of the movie is likewise pretty straight forward 80's action plot. The action is pretty mediocre, not silly, but not very exciting. The villain, love interest and so on are all pretty typical action movie characters, not too stereotypical, but none too exciting either. The weird thing, is that the movie isn't actually cheesy like most B-movies would be, it plays everything more or less straight, and watching it, you end up feeling oh so meh.The point i'm trying to get across here is that you cannot get more mediocre than this, it is the absolute definition of mediocrity.

Joe Don Baker can do good film work, but he does not fit the lead character very well. I'm not sure if it's his acting or the poor script but the lines come off very flat and i had a hard time feeling for the hero. I wonder if the shoot-out scene with the three suspects was supposed to be a send-up of The good, the Bad and the Ugly. This shoot-out however had some very ugly close-ups. Some boat chases are thrown in as well to keep the audience awake. Very funny episode of MST. This was the only hero i know of to ask for Maalox at a bar.

Ah, Joe Don Baker. Star of such films as `Walking Tall' and `Mitchell'. Appearances in such decent to good films as `Congo', `GoldenEye', `Mars Attacks!', and `Cape Fear' (the Scorsese remake). Beefiest guy in Texas. Star of `Final Justice' – a mediocre film that made one of the best MST3K episodes ever. The six-ton Baker doesn't have the finesse or restraint to handle lead roles, as displayed here – and in the also MST3K'd `Mitchell', sort of a low-rent `Dirty Harry' (and the last of the Joel episodes). Here he eats, drinks milk, swears (though most of it is censored, leading endless taunts from Mike and the Bots), kills people in a variety of manners, gets arrested and put in a Maltese jail so many times it isn't funny (in fact downright disorienting after the first six times), etc. The film has no real saving graces. There is (at least by my consideration) some intelligent and well thought-out interplay between the two Mafia villains, and a few decent performances, but for the most part, the film is awful. Not God-awful, like `Space Mutiny' or `Hobgoblins', but still quite bad. The `Groundhog Day'-esque repeats of Sheriff Geronimo (Baker) laying in his jail cell, being taken out by the police, a bar being raised, and talking with the superintendent of the police station and, usually over a baby monitor, American agent Mr. Wilson (Bill McKinney, the baddie from `The Outlaw Josey Wales'), who's taking time off from his epic struggle with Dennis to attempt to stop Joe Don's antics, is just plain ANNOYING. At the end, Joe Don's girl blows away Wilson with a flare gun, Joe Don kills all of the bad guys, and then . . . it just ends. Abruptly. No explanation. Fortunately, MST3K turned this film into a hilarious viewing experience – from Crow's anti-Malta banter to the murder of cartoon character Goosio to, of course, the riffing on the film itself (`The sun is blotted out as Joe Don Baker approaches!'), almost all of the jokes work. And the end credits song (where I got the title line from) and Tom and Crow's riffing on it can't be missed. Four stars for `Final Justice'; ten for the MST3K episode. `He won't stop until he eats it all!'
