Radical Jack (2000)

For a Billy Ray Cyrus movie with a 2.4 rating, I would have expected something a lot worse. I think people jump at the chance to give it a bad rating simply because it has Mr. Achy-Breaky Heart in it, but he does a decent job as the drifter Navy Seal vet who's being used by the government to stop an arms dealer in a podunk town.

When I was searching for this movie on Tubi, they only had the Rifftrax version, and I'll be damned if I let those fuckers talk throughout the whole movie trying to convince me I'm watching shit. Let me be the judge of whether it's shit! So I found the regular version on IMDb TV, and quite frankly, I didn't find this movie nearly as deplorable as its rating would suggest. I actually found it pretty engaging.

Basically, this movie is a big ripoff of Roadhouse. It even has some roundhouse kicks, and the fight choreography is pretty good. It has a couple babes in it, and the production values are decent, but the most noteworthy thing about it is... George Buck Flower! And he isn't reduced to a minor role, nor is he playing a hobo. In fact, he's playing a lead antagonist! One who happens to be wealthy! Kudos to the film crew for including a legend in such capacity.
