    Good Story, But...

    Terrible acting from all the supporting actors Including Hasselhoff. The 2 bad guys and also the real stars were ok. B movie.
    5Agent10

    A solid 5, and that is good for a movie of this caliber.

    Now you might hate me for my 5 rating, but that is all I can conceivably give this movie. It's bad, really bad. But the big question is if it is enjoyable. I give the enjoyment factor a resounding yes!

    Damn, where to begin? Pointless explosions, poorly choreographed fights, weird ADR all throughout the film and some truly hammy acting. The horse and the puma were better actors than some of their human counterparts. You heard that right...a puma. I loved this part because David Hasselhoff had conversations with "Felix" akin to the ones I have with my dogs. So kudos to reeling me in with that detail.

    The story is typical straight to video fare of the era. Ex-marine/mercenary comes home to clean up a town overrun by a generic redneck biker gang led by a sheriff who cackles way too maniacally and his second in command albino. You heard that right. John Saxon plays an albino with some questionable style choices. I mean the white boots he wears are ridiculous!! Plus he rides in a side car rather than a motorcycle. A SIDECAR!!

    This thing plays out rather predictably, and there are so many action movie tropes that show up that I will leave it to you to find this movie. I mean it has boobie traps AND an armored vehicle. Watch this movie if you can. I think the real debate will be whether this movie or Stone Cold is the true violent B-movie supreme of the early 90s.

    "an adventure that mixes justice with revenge for explosive results"

    The back of the box did not lie- "an adventure that mixes justice with revenge for explosive results" -BOOM! I just watched this hidden gem of a movie. Hasselhoff stars as Will Colton, an ex-marine who returns to his hometown in Texas. A gang of weapons dealing biker creeps killed Hasselhoff's family years back and he is back for revenge. He gets help from a local lady who has also been terrorized by these thugs. The gang includes the police chief, played by Bo Hopkins, which gives the movie some redneck credibility to the rural Texas setting. Actually, I would guess that this film is Italian or South African. The dubbing involved is of the 80's Italian style. Also it stars John Saxon, who is in a lot of the Italian action movies of this time. Also, it has an Italian director. One thing is for sure, it was not made in Texas. But anyways, this movie has some very good action sequences, a good cast, and an unintentionally hilarious script. Hasselhoff has some great conversations with his pet cougar that are awesomely cheesy. And John Saxon as the leader of the pack seems kind of embarrassed to be wearing such a lame looking wig, but he puts together a menacing portrayal of creepiness.

    There is a some good motorcycle violence, a cougar, a short love scene featuring Jeannie Moore, a load of European synthesizers futile mimicking honkytonk boogie music, and an Albino Motorcycle . If you happen upon this thing, give it a try. This is a lost classic.

    So good for all the wrong reasons...

    There are movies you love because of how good you think they are, and there are movies SOME people love because of how bad they are. I have to put my two cents in here for this film being so bad it's good. Trust me, it's HORRIBLE. But on certain levels, like on an Ed Wood level, it's great. The plot is half baked and the acting plummets below the level of EVERYONE in Star Wars Phantom Menace. If you happen to be one of those people who doesn't understand why Hasselhoff gets raked over most of his work, then it is very likely you will love this movie. Not to be missed is John Saxon's performance as an albino gang leader. If the producers of this film didn't have their tongues in their cheeks while this film was produced then I say they are masters of schlock. Otherwise, "Final Alliance" rates among the top adolescent wish-fulfillment wet dream films of all time. Hasselhoff and his pet puma- that says it all.

    not bad at all

    I love movies about motorcycle gangs like Mad Max, Stonecold or Beyond the Law / Fixing the Shadow. There is something really evil and scary about motorcycle gangs and it's for sure, that hero always has to walk trough the hell when he fights them. Final Alliance is not as good as Mad Max a Co., but it isn't so bad. It starts with 5 motorcycles and pretty cheap fight scenes, but soon it gets better. There is a lot of explosions, one pretty cool action scene (bikers attack Hasselhoff's farm, but he planted many mines around), funny dialogues and acting. If you expect Schindler's List, you will be disappointed, if you expect funny B actioner, you won't. I missed only some rape scene, but you know, gentleman Mitch Buchanan is on board, so I wasn't surprised, there isn't any.
