PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Idiot-Deluxe "You think you can take me - Go ahead on." Final Justice stars Joe Don Baker as a portly Texas Ranger, whose a bit of a firebrand, often bending the rules to suit his purposes and as far as this movie goes, this habitually results in a series of unlawful acts of violence towards people crooked or not. If find this movie to be quite uninspired on all front's, except for one, and that is the location filming on the far shores of Malta, which is an unexpectedly exotic locale for a Greydon Clark film, starring Joe Don Baker. While watching this lame 80's movie there is one glaringly obvious observation you can't help but notice and that is, once in Malta, just how starkly the big, tall, hefty Texan stands out from the hordes of slender Maltesen masses, as he's lumbering down their crowded streets and bustling market's in his cowboy boots and a ten-gallon hat.The basic plot entail's "Deputy Sheriff Thomas Jefferson Geronimo III" accompanying a high-profile prisoner (an Italian mobster), back to his home country, but before the extradition is complete they're diverted to the island of Malta. Here things get complicated in a hurry and after the initial escape, the movie becomes a ham-handed (that term is ever appropriate when speaking of Joe Don Baker) game of cat and mouse on the sun-baked island of Malta. While at odd's the local authorities, the bulk of this movie features the bulk of big-bad Joe Don running amuck all over the island and in doing so he encounters many of the island's more colorful inhabitant's. The bare details sound fairly promising don't they. But just keep in mind that it's a low-budget Greydon Clark movie (did he ever make any other kind), that star's Joe Don Baker. Those two names should effectively temper ANY expectations of excellence ("Joy Sticks" is the sole exception - a riotous Clarke/Baker joint venture, released the previous year).I hate to say it, but what Joe Don's up to in this throw-away film, is not entirely far off from what Eastwood does in the Dirty Harry films. The key difference being in the case of the Dirty Harry series is, it happens to be a highly charismatic and iconic actor/director who bend's the law to his will, however, in Final Justice it's just..... Joe Don Baker. That being said, this film was made back in Joe Don's prime-era, which in his case was when he was middle-aged, in other words when he was at his heftiest/jowliest and least resembled anything of a movie star. Just his presence alone (his patent dumpiness) during that particular period usually elicits some modicum of entertainment, simply because he doesn't look like the type who should be in front of a camera - that people are actually paying money to see. A plus-sized character actor is the best way to describe Joe Don Baker's body - and body of work. This clunker of a movie makes for some terrific comedic fodder and once again I find myself reviewing a bad movie, that was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.If one were compelled to see a Joe Don Baker movie - that's actually worth seeing, I would highly recommend Joy Sticks, the three Bond films he was in (The Living Daylights/Golden Eye/Tomorrow Never Dies) or Martin Scorsese's brilliant 1991 remake of Cape Fear. Those five excellent movies are all from the 80's and 90's and fall right in line with what I said about that era being: Prime-Time Joe Don, at his jolly n' jowly best!

WakenPayne Anyone Else Seen A Film That It So Bad That You Have To Watch It To Remind Yourself Of A Good Movie & A Bad Movie. Final Justice Is The Lowest Rated Film That I Have Seen Through MST3K. The Opening Sequence Where He Has The Villain Held At Gunpoint Makes Me Ask Questions...He Shot The Other Mafia Guy Why Not Him Then Credits Roll Thomas Jefferson Geronimo III Lives On & Everyone Gets On With Their Lives. This Is The Worst I Have Ever Seen Joe Don Baker...His Performance Is Atrocious I Have Seen Him Do Better In The 007 Films (I've Seen EVERY 007 Film).At Least Mike & The Bots From MST3K Made One Of Their Best Episodes Of MST3K Out Of This. All In All You Must Treat This Movie Like You've Treated It Your Entire Life...DON'T TOUCH IT!

Seth Nelson There are movies that are awful, and there are movies that are so awful they are deemed long-forgotten and unwatchable. Also, lots of violence and bad stuff (not just cheesy stuff; you know what I mean) add to the mix as well. What is the result of bad movies with such raunchy content? Why, "Final Justice," of course! Remember "Mitchell?" Joe Don Baker was the star of that movie, and that was riffed by Joel and the Bots on "Mystery Science Theater 3000." Now this time, with Mike taking Joel's place on the Satellite of Love (but with the same bots), that trio got to make fun of MST3K's second Joe Don Baker movie, "Final Justice." Of course, much of the naughty stuff that I mentioned was removed for television release, but still, I want to watch that episode (and "Mitchell" as well), because what does Joe Don "hate" the most? Why, none other than "Mystery Science Theater 3000!" P.S. If you have a Big Lots nearby, check that store for the uncut tape! LOL That happened to another user!

wilbertvonbork Sergio Leone spins in his grave... If there was any film that tramples upon a man's life work its this one. The lead character's "lone wolf" bravado is uninspiring and lame, and the script was apparently written by a monkey with an eight grade education. Whoever's idea this was should be horse whipped. The only reason I'm spending time trashing it is because there's a 10 line minimum. Sergio Leone's family should sue, not because its crap, but because now it's immortalized as crap by MST 3000. Shame. Disgust. I blame Hollywood...at least Gary Busey makes crap that wont offend anyone but cocaine users and weapon experts...this film is pure blasphemy.
