Comeuppance Reviews 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

smithgoes Michael Pare's acting is as bad as Scott Del Amo (Dutch the bad guy). Both could compete for the worst actor of 1987. Tawny Kitaen is only slightly better given her snappy but out of place dialog which probably fits the 1980s for an uppity call girl. Peter Crook has the most potential as a character actor but not in this movie which as poorly written. This is definitely a must for those who enjoy the worst of the worst movies (tinge of masochism). Hilariously bad scenes include the keystone marine kops chasing Pare around the US Embassy with the anybody can get into arms locker. The initially chase scene with the mad taxi driver chase Pare through the streets and parks but can't quite catch him since Pare can run faster than a taxi. Finally the release of the bulls by Jake to help Pare and the girl escape shows you how bulloney this film is.

therews-1 This movie is fantastic in its abysmal awfulness. Sure, there are bad movies, but then there are movies that are fun to watch specifically because they're so bad. Instant Justice is one of those movies, especially when you throw in the massive doses of pure '80s trashiness. Tawny Kitaen's hairdo is the biggest tease I've ever seen! There's a shower scene (not really spoiling anything here) that should win some sort of super-schlock award. Definitely worth renting for the big hair and idiotic one-liners alone (assuming, of course, you don't have to spend more than 99 cents). Have a few drinks and fade away into classic '80s B-tainment.

goya-4 Michael Pare plays a marine who goes after the bad guys who murdered his sister in this schlock fest that has no real value. Horribly acted this is a really bad movie. Even the action scenes are horrible. Cliches abound. Tawny can't save it and she stays clothed... so there's really no point to watch this garbage..on a scale of one to ten..a 0
