mentioned above and the Dirty Harry series and exciting non-stop action films then I Strongly recommend this film!

Gus Mally, will be portrayed by a cool, black girl who resembles "Edsel" in Matt Wagner's series and dress up like her. The dialogue with The Constable & Gus will be toned down. The ambush at the State Border line will be performed by 10 black women in "Sailor Girl" attire from Anime stories and have high-tech weapons & drive 5 unmarked, 1957 Chevrolet 150 Series, 4-Dr. Sedans which are all black. Also the motorcycle club become fans of Ruff & Reddy & also in the boxcar is some of the relatives of Ruff & Reddy enemies & when Gus comes in the fight she fights like a Japanese warrior and most of the bad guys off the boxcar and the hijacking of the bus goes thru & stopping at a compound where "Professor Butch" a professor resembles a WWE Wrestler and has a animal compound & Scrappy Doo a toned down version rides on the bus & has a clear plastic dome covering the bus during the cross firing & also a father & son police partners are there. The police shows respect when they see Ruff & Reddy, Scrappy Doo, Professor Butch & Gus. Josephson, will be shown as a black character named Charlie Brown who got serious from The Coasters' song "Charlie Brown". When Blakelock tried to fire at Professor Butch & Feyderspiel, the gun has no bullets because Scrappy Doo did a "Hadji" trick which Hadji did in "Double Danger" episode from Jonny Quest. Gus off screen beats the hell out of Blakelock & Scrappy is allowed to use his "Puppy Power" on Blakelock & Feyderspiel. A Sheriff Joe stand-in takes the villains to jail & the group goes to The Courtroom place. That's how The Hanna-Barbera people would have done it & I would have the role of the LVPD Captain that shoots down the house & uses candy instead of a cigarette for himself and a cool rookie cop. That's how H-B would have done Clint Eastwood's Gauntlet story. Ruff & Reddy were used because they never seen action when their series were over & now there back & this time made not come out on top. Ruff & Reddy never loses.

job. The hooker's testimony could potentially bring down some important figures, so the cops and mafia also don't want them to return to Phoenix. In addition to all that, the woman is such a bitch that even a trip across town with her would be almost too much to bear. The two are put in one harrowing situation after another as Clint proves that he has the moxy to simply "get the job done".This film, if made by or starring inferior talent, would be nothing short of ridiculous. Several situations that arise in this film seem improbable at best, and often ludicrous. Eastwood's charm, and the razor-sharp dialog keep it moving along. You end up almost believing it could happen. Clint Eastwood is that talented. His acting and direction are as good as ever.The film has plenty of memorable scenes. Along with the shootouts, we get some very amusing and often very funny situations. One of my favorites is when Eastwood single-handedly talks an entire motorcycle gang into surrendering one of their bikes or facing the consequences of his pistol. And what would an Eastwood/Locke film be without a scene where she is sexually assaulted? Though disturbing, the scene has a hilarious conclusion. Another scene belongs to Locke, herself. In it, she puts a foul-mouthed police flunky in his place using some very sexually explicit words.That a film which would seemingly be quite ridiculous on paper is made into such a fine product is a testimony to the genius of Clint Eastwood. He is without a doubt my favorite actor of all time.9 of 10 stars for The Gauntlet.The Hound.

"Gauntlet" flick may not be "Mission Impossible", but Ben accepts an assignment from the commissioner that cannot be revealed at all except by him and the commissioner. Then, as soon as he picks up Gus, they face a maze of attempts on their lives.The camera-work during the helicopter gunman/motorcycle chase scene was actually the best. You see the chase on a variety of angles--close up, panoramic, cutting away, and zooming in.The fight scene on the freight train between the crazed bikers, Ben, and Gus reminds me of the phrase "Throw Momma Off The Train"---but even more than that---it reminds me of Clint Eastwood's appearances in spaghetti westerns like "A Fistful of Dollars."The soundtrack in the flick reminded me of Charles Mingus's jazz style.

good tension, memorable shootings the final shootout in the bus is the best and Clint Eastwood who is always good to see playing the good guy. Bad reasons: Sondra Locke's first half hour is completely annoying. Her character only wants to get in the way of Clint but doesn't know what to do to stay away of trouble. But the main reason why you don't want to watch this movie is that it insults the intelligence of the viewers in some strategic points. Sondra's character is about to testify in some big case involving a powerful guy who is on the police side and therefore this same guy is gonna sent many policeman to kill her and Shylock. Now big quiz question: If that guy he's discovered later is so powerful and he knew that she was arrested in Las Vegas and he had all this connection with the police why not pay some corrupt police officer to kill her in prison? It sounded pointless and stupid to make all this fuzz to kill a prostitute by the way, the motive why she's testifying should appear on screen, and it's also a little bit not well explained and yet it still not believable . Still, it's a good action movie that presented us with some good escape and shooting scenes, very well directed. Good performances of Pat Hingle Clint's only friend and the memorable and scary villain of "Deliverance" Bill McKinney the shameless and infuriating police officer kidnapped by Clint . Highly entertaining. 9/10

Attorney has her for a witness.Assigned to the case is Clint Eastwood who is characterized by himself as a tired old time server of a cop. He's not by reputation with the Phoenix, PD a Harry Callahan. But to the regret of forces who want to see Locke dead and consider him an incompetent and expendable, Clint fools them all.As a film The Gauntlet goes at a good clip and the suspense from the first attack against Eastwood and Locke does not let up for a second. The dialog between Eastwood and Locke is crisp and entertaining and the action sequences well staged. The two leads get good support from Pat Hingle as Eastwood's luckless partner and William Prince the corrupt Chief of the Phoenix PD. I'm not sure whether Prince wants Locke dead for her testimony linking him to organized crime or for the fact she can testify to some alternate sexual practices he favors. Either way Prince is absolutely manic about making sure they never get to Phoenix alive.For fans of Clint Eastwood, The Gauntlet is one of his best films, one of my favorites of his, and something not to be missed.

biker gang. That's what got me wondering what Shockley was looking at.The finale was climatic the police gauntlet brought all the works to stop Gus and Shockley. But it goes to show that the loyalty of the officers was a factor of the loyalty of the superior. The Phoenix PD saved themselves from total outcasting to society when the saw Shockley. And Blakelock brought shame to the department in which it resulted, "TERMINATION"! Their loyalty to Shockley overruled Blakelock's order.This movie was great, though it's not Dirty Harry, Eastwood puts on a great performance. Rating 4 out of 5 stars. 9.5 OUT OF 10!
