Instant Justice (1987)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I love this movie so much

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The title 'Instant Justice' had me in mind of the gritty vigilante thrillers of the late '70s and early '80s—movies like Death Wish and The Exterminator. This film, though, is from the latter half of the '80s, a time when cheezy action movies were at their most prevalent; as such, it is packed full of poorly staged shootouts, naff car chases and unconvincing fisticuffs, all accompanied by a horrible synth-driven soundtrack. Star Michael Paré gives one of his least accomplished performances (which is saying something) and token babe Tawny Kitaen sports massive hair and shoulder pads to match as the feisty call girl that our hero falls for (I hope he's had his shots).Dumb, not-in-the-least-bit-exciting 'highlights' include Youngblood leaping through a plate glass window onto a car roof (sustaining not even so much as a scratch), a hilarious encounter with a kung fu cook, a close escape from a load of bulls (load of bulls… sums up this film rather nicely!), and Paré driving a Trans Am at high speed while firing his machine gun (after crashing the car through Spain's flimsiest gate).

Scott Youngblood (Pare) is a Marine with an impeccable record - a true American hero. When he hears that his sister Kim (Bridges) is in trouble and mixed up with evil gangsters/drug runners Dutch (Del Amo) and Silke (Avoth), he travels to Madrid to save her. Sadly, he's too late. Dutch and Silke killed her, as part of their phony modeling/prostitution scam. Now burning with revenge, he finds a contact in Spain, Jake (Crook) and together they go looking for Dutch and Silke.Meanwhile, since the death of Kim, a new model has come in to take her place, Virginia (Kitaen), but Youngblood tries to rescue her from her dismal fate. Because Youngblood is a model Marine, he realizes some of his tactics may be contrary to the code of ethics of the Corps, so he goes to Maj. Davis (Napier) and resigns. Davis is confused, but warily trusts Youngblood. Now totally rogue, Youngblood is free to dispense some INSTANT JUSTICE.You've heard of Instant Oatmeal. Now prepare yourself for Instant Justice. Pare puts in a Dolph Lundgren-esque performance as the wooden, no-nonsense Youngblood (you gotta love those hero names). The fact that he's the ultimate Marine allows for some classic 80's patriotism along with the barfights and one-liners. Not to mention the car chases with rockin' guitar solos. It's nice to see Tawny Kitaen, who doesn't appear in a lot of these types of movies, along with familiar faces like Napier and Pare. Kitaen's hair certainly typifies the "big" style of the time.This was Director/writer/producer Craig Rumar's only film to date. Surely he was inspired by the action boom of the day. His story of a lone hero who tries to go to the authorities and go through the proper channels but comes up against maddening bureaucracy and has to take on the baddies alone is always a nice story to see. But, it must be noted that one Anthony Bingham steals the show as Sgt. Walker. For no conceivable reason, Pare tells him he has stains on his uniform. Bingham's line, delivered in a way that is a classic for the ages, replies, and I quote, "My hamburger spilled ketchup". I'll just let you mull that over in your mind for a while. We rewound that great cinematic moment.Youngblood is a man of action with an 80's soundtrack behind him (not the least of which is "Danger in the Streets" by Lee Hart). While maybe some of the talkier/unnecessary bits could have been trimmed, making the movie just a bit leaner and meaner, Instant Justice is a decently entertaining and typically-80's action film - and that's just what we're normally after.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

It is hard to imagine a worse film, and equally hard to believe that Craig T. Rumar did not know that he was making a turkey. There are only two stand-out things in this movie and both belong to Tessa Hewitt, otherwise there can only be interest for connoisseurs of timber as represented by Michael Pare and Tawny Kitaen who's acting might be called wooden if one were not worried at receiving complaints from Pinocchio. Dialogue is not helped by Mr Pare needing a 5 second pause before he can deliver his lines so that his scenes with Ms Kitaen have all the spontaneity of a State Funeral. Mr Pare has less acting ability than Arnie but an equally impressive physique, unfortunately when asked to do anything other than adopt a statuesque pose it all goes horribly wrong as he minces across the screen. Action sequences and special effects are laughable, the editing probably done with a chain saw, the sub-disco intrusive 'background' music unremitting. Other than Tessa Hewitt's 30 seconds on screen the film has no redeeming feature.

I saw this movie a little while ago because my brother always tortured me with it. I think this movie is stupid I'm suprised it was even made. I don't know what my brother liked about this movie. One thing is for sure I haven't seen this movie since then and I don't plan on seeing it again. a little bit of advice you'll be wasting your money if you decide to rent this because it is total garbage take my advice and don't rent it.
