    All it needed was the Boz to be total waste of time.

    Plot sounded entertaining but the cast simply could not pull off a potentially entertaining script. If Kathy Long and Brian Bosworth ever appear together, that film possibly could rate worse that this C film! Terrible waste of time.

    dirty harry's love child

    I hope the next time Kathy Long makes a film she can unclench that jaw - maybe it's from watching just a little too many Clint Eastwood movies. Visually she's cute, perky, toned and buff and, pugilistically speaking, even a bit more impressive than Cynthia Rothrock. She's got a lot of raw talent, and might have been more believable in a movie like "G. I. Jane" - you know, female overcoming the system, kicking male butt as well as the next guy, nitro-in-a- perfume-bottle-kind-of-thing.

    This is not a bad film at all, and features a very surprising turn by Ginger Lynn in a dramatic role as a town local. Serious kudos to director Fritz Kiersch for coaxing a terrifically drawn performance ... from skin queen Ginger Lynn? Wow, way to go Ginger!

    We've seen the storyline a million times, but the action is solid and the production value is terrific, which is a testament to the director and the producers. The "High Plains Drifter" impersonation must've driven the sound guys crazy, but overall this movie is pretty good thanks largely to Fritz Kiersch and the guys behind the camera.

    Great Movie

    I saw the stranger some years ago in the Portuguese Television. Since then I did not forgot it Kathy Long plays a great role. Her personality.., her fighting background fits perfectly in the role she does play in this movie. Actually it`s not easy to find a female playing convincingly the role of a female fighter Usually they look fake. . they look like fashion models playing the role of fierce fighters Not with Kathy Long. She is perfect for the role she does play not the least because she was a great kickboxing fighter in real life and this fact does show on , in her movies. She is the real thing Great Movie

    What a shame

    Didn't know there was so much feminist cringe in the 90s, heh. They really abused the straight-to-video scene with bitter garbage like this. It is sad, as straight-to-video should be used as a haven for hidden gems, not as everyone's dumping ground for their own little twisted ideas. At least not too much money and resources were wasted, which I'm glad for. Rather use that for something that improves the world, instead of spreading feminist bitterness 🙂

    I WANT Kathy Long!

    Forget Diana Rigg, Cynthia Rothrock, Karen Sheperd, the two Lucindas (Dooling and Dickey) and even Jillian Kesner. Kathy Long is the toughest of them all, and this is her great film. She kills bad guy after bad guy in "The Stranger," most of them with her bare hands, and just looking at her swagger and those unbelievably powerful arms of hers, you know she could do absolutely anything she wanted with you in real life. ("Are you going to kill me or make love to me?" one man asks her. "I'll let you know," Kathy replies.) No wonder this film is selling for so much on EBay: for those susceptible to this kind of fantasy, it doesn't get much better than "The Stranger."
