Strong Contender.......

...for the worst film of all time. I hated Bad Lieutenant as a film, but at least it had Harvey Kaitel, this film on the other although featuring a few alright actors was so poor that it really should never have left the cutting room floor.
I paid £3.99 for this rubbish. I gave a loan of it to a work colleague who couldn't even get beyond the first 20 minutes. It's only saving grace is the unintentional humour that is the "The Good, the bad and the ugly" scene when the main character first becomes a skinhead.
Awful.

disagree with you. Thought the film captures the violent world of skinhead street gangs quite well like Portland, OR where three Ethiopians were attacked by six skinheads in an apartment complex garage and a thickly built skin known as "Ken Death" cocked a baseball bat over his shoulder and as he was cheered on -- swung it full force into the back of each man's head, again...and again...like a wood chopper gone berserk. Next came the 'boot party' where each skinhead stomped each person to oblivion... What I'm quoting is a true story from Portland, a city dubbed the "skinhead capital of the world" and from which the stories in the film are based.

The film is supposed to be violent, angry, ugly and challenging. And I liked the melting of themes -- from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly to Menace II Society, Scorcese and John Woo's the Killer...

Just a different opinion.
