That was an excellent one.

So much average

Absolutely the worst movie.

A Disappointing Continuation

Jonathan "Blood" Bloodstone (Heavener) is a cop who plays by his own rules. Sure, he may be a bit crazy, and he thinks he's a modern-day cowboy, but when Captain Tompkins (Hayes) wants results, he calls in Bloodstone. When the FBI, led by Agent Harrington (Reed) call Bloodstone in to transport a mobster named Marietta Copella (Curtis) on a long car ride to a new, secret location, at first he isn't interested. But he needs $25,000 or he's going to lose his house. So, Bloodstone reluctantly agrees to the assignment. Once on the road together, the two men are the original odd couple, Copella a slick-talking, high-class Italian gangster, and Bloodstone a flamethrow-first-and-ask-questions-later good ol' boy. After some adventures and trials and tribulations on the road, they both realize the truth about this particular road trip. Yes, there's a TRUTH behind this road trip. Dare you find out what it is? We've always been champions of David Heavener. Anyone who reads this site knows we're always extolling his virtues - he can act, write, produce, direct, do Martial Arts, and is a musician who plays guitar and writes his own songs. We've always said he should have gotten more recognition, both by the Hollywood establishment, as well as the general public. We've maintained this attitude towards the man and his work, even through some of his wonkier productions. But now, finally, our outlook has been validated. Prime Target is the best Heavener movie we've seen to date. It has a crisp, professional look, and is snappy, entertaining, and never boring. The plot is actually fairly engrossing, and this would be a great place to start if you're unfamiliar with Heavener.Tony Curtis is on board as the garrulous Copella, and the interplay between him and Bloodstone provides a lot of the meat of the movie. Curtis had a hard job, he's supposed to be the time-honored "annoying" character, but if you're too annoying, the audience will check out entirely, so you have to balance. We felt he did his best and he does put energy into the role. There's also fan favorite Isaac Hayes as the police chief, and the Brady Bunch's own Robert Reed as the FBI guy. They even interact in several scenes. Where else are you going to see that? Like a lot of Heavener movies that came out on VHS back in the golden years, this has a commercial before the movie advertising something Heavener-related. These commercials are always awesome, but this one takes the cake. The ad is for...wait for it...a David Heavener HOTLINE where you call 1-900-DAVID! This is absolutely real. Apparently you can get information and behind the scenes info about the movie and even get a Prime Target T-shirt. And here's the best part - the line "Kids get your parents' permission"!!!! What KID is a. renting an R-rated movie b. renting a HEAVENER movie c. renting PRIME TARGET and d. the odds of this kid existing and wanting to call the Heavener hotline are...what? We know they have to say that for legal purposes, but has there ever been a young tot who has said, "mom, can I please call 1-900-DAVID? I want to know more about Prime Target." It boggles the mind.You'll be singing "blooood-stoonnnne" (Judas Priest reference) when you see Heavener's belt with the word "Cowboy" emblazoned into it, and especially when you hear the amazing intro/outro song, "I'm a Honky Tonk Man", which is this sort of country rap which predated Uncle Kracker and Kid Rock by many years. Yes, as if a hotline wasn't enough, Heavener actually raps. And you get a movie called Prime Target on this VHS tape as well, so for value-for-entertainment-dollars, you really can't beat this one.Watch Jon Bloodstone turn the FBI into the "Federal BLOODSTONE Investigations" with this classic tonight.

The VHS for this low budget affair incredibly starts out with David Heavener pitching some kind of contest, where you call him for $2.00/ minute. Is this possibly to cover the movie's micro budget getting blown? Either way, the first thing that will get your attention as cheaping out, is there are no extra's milling about, especially noticeable in the final shootout on the court house steps. I mean guns blazing, snipers falling off roofs, and the town is completely deserted, except for the combatants? Every cent must have been spent on the car chases, and pyrotechnics. The script is so simple, a ten year old could have written it. So why is the movie still watchable? It's got a very intriguing cast of supporting actors. What's not to like about Don Stroud, Isaac Hayes, Andy Robinson, or Tony Curtis? The film includes some humorous exchanges between Heavner and Curtis, brief nudity, and a catchy C&W tune. You could do a lot worse than "Prime Target". - MERK

Prime Target is all some people would like to believe America is about : sun blasted deserts, ugly remote villages, bland-looking people and redneck western-descent heroes.David Heavener's vision of heroism is even worse. In his self-made justice world, a Cop Hero :1. Wields a flamethrower, burns criminals alive, and... gets "suspended" as a result.2. Takes 25,000$ from the FBI just to drive some criminal around, and plagiarize The Gauntlet and Clint Eastwood in doing so.3. Wears a awfully-looking hat just to reinforce that dumb country attitude.4. Hates talking, hates culture, and hates eating everything else besides a hamburger.5. Uses a 60 centimetre (illegal?) six-shots handgun making big holes in human bodies.6. Listens to moronic country music.7. Drives around with a "don't talk to me, I live on an empty island" attitude."Prime Target" looks just like libertarian propaganda : Every official is corrupted? The "man" has to take justice into his own hands. Bankers ask for their 25,000$ mortgage in ten days? No problem, the "man" will find the money. His wife wants to throw him away because he never shows up at suppers? No problem, the "man" just has to push around, and he's screwing his wife again... the same boring dumb blonde girl showing up in all these movies.Damn, at least the 70s movies were entertaining. This is crappy "Free America lives by the gun and dies by the gun" propaganda.

All right, I'll admit it. I was channel surfing on the world wide web, and found this playing KCTU, out of Wichita, Kansas. It was late, I was bored, and I stumbled on it during a gun scene near the beginning. This is a completely predictable movie, shoot possibly by some local high school kids! Everything about it just screams "70's B movie", but it was made in 1991! So why did I watch it? After seeing 60 seconds of it, I thought "This movie is BAD, could it get any worse? Yes, it does. It has the same allure of Rocky Horror, your just glued to it. Bad acting, bad jokes, bad puns, bad sound effects (tires don't squeal on dirt). This has it all. If you like 70's B movies, you've found your winner here. Otherwise, you couldn't pay me $25,000 to watch this movie again (in movie pun there).
