Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Leofwine_draca THE STABILIZER is a cheapjack Indonesian action thriller that feels like it wants to be the next Stallone movie a la COBRA. The hero of the piece is played by the inimitable Peter O'Brian, a man who would take Stallone imitations to the next level with his role in his subsequent production, THE INTRUDER, a straight RAMBO rip-off which has to be seen to be believed. THE STABILIZER isn't quite as bad/good as that movie, but it does have its moments.I suppose O'Brian does look a bit like Stallone if you squint very hard and ignore his height and his lean frame. Here, he plays a fuzzy-haired crime fighter with the titular moniker who spends the running time hunting for a drug smuggler with the unlikely name of Greg Rainmaker. Dana Christina, who had previously appeared in THE WARRIOR, plays a useful ally.What you get here is an exceptionally cheesy action film in the inimitable Indonesian style. It's not as over the top as much fun as the Barry Prima movies of the era, unfortunately, although the stunt scenes of O'Brian jumping his motorbike around are fun. There are a lot of shoot-outs utilising bloody squib hits, some laughable martial arts action, and hints at nudity. The dubbing is exceptionally bad but it's impossible to hate a film in which the hero has a framed photo of himself wielding a gun while wearing a fishnet top.

Fella_shibby I saw this flick way back in the 80s on a rented VHS. Definitely for 80s, action fan. Its distributed by none other than the gr8 Troma Entertainment. Its an over the top cheesy action entertainment. In an era of Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis, JCVD, Seagal, there was the curly, greasy, poor mans Stallone, Peter O'Brian aka The Stabilizer. Check out the clothes n the hairstyle man. Cobra look-a-like picture is priceless man. N the villain spitting on it is even better. A guy on a motorcycle flying through a window, unique way of breaking into someones home. There are fists, feet and arrows flying by… God bless the 80s for such over the top action flicks. The Stabilizer fights tons of thugs with machine guns, dodges a boat with torpedoes, escapes a fiery inferno, and takes out the villains personal chopper. This movie is non- stop action. One of the villains henchman in the warehouse looks like poor mans Mr T. Breaking through a wall with a motorcycle. Priceless action scene man. The barrel bouncing off of the head. Wow. Did I forget 2 mention the spiked shoes. Atrocious dubbing n dialogues. Enuff frontal nudity. Over the top cheesy entertainment.

HumanoidOfFlesh Professor Provost has invented a "Narcotics Detector",so he is kidnapped and tortured by Indonesian crime boss Greg Rainmaker.It's up to American super cop Peter Goldson aka The Stabilizer to stop his violent reign.Actually The Stabilizer's past is quite traumatic,because his fiancée was raped and stomped to death by Greg Rainmaker.Teaming up with a local officer and two female assistants The Stabilizer begins bloody revenge towards Greg Rainmaker and his ruthless cohorts of petty criminals...Extremely over-the-top and cheap action flick from Arizal.The amount of violence is simply insane.The performances are flat,the one-liners are endlessly quotable and there are even two scenes of lizard munching.If you are a fan of "Deadly Prey" or Cirio Santiago's mindless action flicks give "The Stabilizer" a shot.8 shoot outs out of 10.

teamrobin13 From the opening theme (which by the way happens to include women singing Sta-bil-izer), you know this is cinematic gem. This film regards the exploits of one, the Stabilizer in his quest to thwart the villan (Greg Rainmaker) whose nefariousness is capped of by raping the Stabilizers girlfriend and then stomping her to death with his cleets (this is all done off screen while the camera focuses in on a picture of the Stabilizer that his girlfriend happened to have in her room). Not to mention that Greg Rainmaker has also captured a important scientist, with the assistance of the Indonesian Mr. T, and an endless supply of look-a-like henchmen. How will our hero ever prevail, or in this case Stabilize? Well, if Stabilization has anything to do with exploding and or killing everything in site, then the forces of good are bound to prevail. The Stabilizer in this film, rides dirt bikes onto peoples faces, fist fights at least a hundred guys with machine guns, sets fire to warehouses, puts a criminal underling in a barrel which he then roles around in the back of a truck and jumps off a helicopter while shooting it cause it to explode. Not to mention sleeping with the girl who he had just met. Hot. Not five minutes goes by in this film without some form of overt action and or destruction. And as it is conducted by guys with greasy 70's haircuts, well, it just doesnt get any better than that.
