FINAL ROUND-(1993)-Lorenzo Lamas (who was starring on the TV series RENEGADE at the time, so you'd think he wouldn't have time for this nonsense) plays another unshaven hero in this boring action film.
He's a boxer who's kidnapped and then hunted by a bunch of geeky psychos ala THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME. Lamas' future ex-wife (and TV co-star) Kathleen Kinmont (who also played "the bride" in BRIDE OF THE RE-ANIMATOR) co-stars here too and gets to fight guys in trenchcoats and eyepatches in the dark. Who gives a shit? Director George Erschbamer also made the SNAKE EATER series with Lamas.
BOUNTY TRACKER-(1993)-More unshaven nonsense from Lamas. This is almost like his TV series RENEGADE except more violent. He's a Boston based bounty hunter out for (what else?) revenge after his brother and sis-in-law are killed by Matthias Hues and his gang. A short but pretty good fight between Lamas and Hues almost saves this dull action drama (I said almost!). Producer Pierre David produced a lot of stuff in Canada including SCANNERS sequels and it's offshoot SCANNER COP (I hear he's preparing a re-make of the original...)
Lamas made many more action films and later hung out on the soap opera THE BOLD and THE BEAUTIFUL.
