It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This film from the first 5 minutes you know is bad. Bad as in totally incompetent bad. Bad as in something that sets back movie making in an Ed Wood kind of way, so bad that Coleman Francis if he had not killed himself 11 years earlier would have been involved in this. As a matter of fact this has a real "Night Train To Mundo Fine" quality to it. The sad thing though is that this film had a budget 1,000 times as much and it still is just as bad. I'm giving it a 1 out of 10 because it really deserves it, but if you are looking for a bad film to watch as a comedy I would give this a 10, it made me laugh out loud all on it's own. Of course I watched it as an MST3K episode but the times I laughed the loudest had nothing to do with their riffing, it was the film itself. I am also giving this an above average MST3K episode and one well worth watching, not sure it's a top 10 but it's definitely a top 30 episode. I found it much more enjoyable to watch then MST3K's "Mitchell" which I thought was just boring except for the ending which was very funny. I can't believe I was a Joe Don Baker fan all these years, shows you what little I know in life. If you want to watch Joe Don stay with his stuff made in the 70's like Charley Varrick and The Outfit, stuff where he is NOT the lead like he was in Mitchell (unless it's Walking Tall).

Anyone Else Seen A Film That It So Bad That You Have To Watch It To Remind Yourself Of A Good Movie & A Bad Movie. Final Justice Is The Lowest Rated Film That I Have Seen Through MST3K. The Opening Sequence Where He Has The Villain Held At Gunpoint Makes Me Ask Questions...He Shot The Other Mafia Guy Why Not Him Then Credits Roll Thomas Jefferson Geronimo III Lives On & Everyone Gets On With Their Lives. This Is The Worst I Have Ever Seen Joe Don Baker...His Performance Is Atrocious I Have Seen Him Do Better In The 007 Films (I've Seen EVERY 007 Film).At Least Mike & The Bots From MST3K Made One Of Their Best Episodes Of MST3K Out Of This. All In All You Must Treat This Movie Like You've Treated It Your Entire Life...DON'T TOUCH IT!

Joe Don Baker can do good film work, but he does not fit the lead character very well. I'm not sure if it's his acting or the poor script but the lines come off very flat and i had a hard time feeling for the hero. I wonder if the shoot-out scene with the three suspects was supposed to be a send-up of The good, the Bad and the Ugly. This shoot-out however had some very ugly close-ups. Some boat chases are thrown in as well to keep the audience awake. Very funny episode of MST. This was the only hero i know of to ask for Maalox at a bar.

Ah, Joe Don Baker. Star of such films as `Walking Tall' and `Mitchell'. Appearances in such decent to good films as `Congo', `GoldenEye', `Mars Attacks!', and `Cape Fear' (the Scorsese remake). Beefiest guy in Texas. Star of `Final Justice' – a mediocre film that made one of the best MST3K episodes ever. The six-ton Baker doesn't have the finesse or restraint to handle lead roles, as displayed here – and in the also MST3K'd `Mitchell', sort of a low-rent `Dirty Harry' (and the last of the Joel episodes). Here he eats, drinks milk, swears (though most of it is censored, leading endless taunts from Mike and the Bots), kills people in a variety of manners, gets arrested and put in a Maltese jail so many times it isn't funny (in fact downright disorienting after the first six times), etc. The film has no real saving graces. There is (at least by my consideration) some intelligent and well thought-out interplay between the two Mafia villains, and a few decent performances, but for the most part, the film is awful. Not God-awful, like `Space Mutiny' or `Hobgoblins', but still quite bad. The `Groundhog Day'-esque repeats of Sheriff Geronimo (Baker) laying in his jail cell, being taken out by the police, a bar being raised, and talking with the superintendent of the police station and, usually over a baby monitor, American agent Mr. Wilson (Bill McKinney, the baddie from `The Outlaw Josey Wales'), who's taking time off from his epic struggle with Dennis to attempt to stop Joe Don's antics, is just plain ANNOYING. At the end, Joe Don's girl blows away Wilson with a flare gun, Joe Don kills all of the bad guys, and then . . . it just ends. Abruptly. No explanation. Fortunately, MST3K turned this film into a hilarious viewing experience – from Crow's anti-Malta banter to the murder of cartoon character Goosio to, of course, the riffing on the film itself (`The sun is blotted out as Joe Don Baker approaches!'), almost all of the jokes work. And the end credits song (where I got the title line from) and Tom and Crow's riffing on it can't be missed. Four stars for `Final Justice'; ten for the MST3K episode. `He won't stop until he eats it all!'
