If Shakespeare had written Bad Ass, would it have received as much vitriol as it has, I wonder?
It's kinda, like, a geriatric version of 'Walking Tall'.
*Checks notes*
They fucking made three of these!? Nuh-uh!
'Nobody' would go on to do it better.
[Watched on PlutoTV.]
Would you believe me if I told you someone had the idea to stretch out that one Youtube video of the old guy kicking some kid's ass into a 90 minute film?
Would you also believe me if I told you that not only is it loads of fun, but it has probably the most hilariously bad theme song you'll ever hear on film?
Believe it.

This is a watchable spin on the vigilante motif. This film series was spawned by a viral video. This is a b-movie that is occasionally entertaining but lacks depth or real emotion. Charismatic performances by Danny Trejo, Lou Pearlman and Charles S. Dutton along with occasionally funny parts make this passable but not cult-worthy.
This film is exemplary of the word "adequate."
Bad Ass is pretty much the Danny Trejo version of Death Wish. It’s not memorable at all, but it’s completely fine for what it is.
Danny Trejo is always fun to watch. The dialogue he has to say can sometimes be dumb, but he’s charming. He’s a bit old for some of the action scenes. His fighting wasn’t overly convincing.
Charles S. Dutton plays the film’s villain and he hams it up a bit. Ron Perlman is wasted in a small role. He might be in 3 scenes.
This was a crazy little mess. This film is based ever so loosely on a viral video from a decade ago. So in essence, BAD ASS is best described as a meme based on that video.
Danny Trejo looks like a war-vet/middle-aged-tourist garden gnome, what with his full beard, cargo pants, camo jacket and fanny pack. Like the lead character in "Garden Theft Auto" if that were a thing. To further 'quirk up' the low-budget urban violence mayhem, Danny Trejo plays the hero with a Tom Hanks neigborliness. And, the director never does anything to conceal the fact that Trejo is an incredibly short man. It sometimes feels like it's the 'DeVito' Danny, not the 'Trejo' one spelling justice in…
It was one of those Danny Trejo's pure joy action movies where he cooked, served and ate the whole thing. And honestly, it was much better than I expected. The effects were HORRENDOUS but this was completely understandable (although they could have cut down on the amount of scenes that needed effects). Overall, it was hilarious (especially the bus chase scene at the end was extra), joyful and good action/comedy. And it's the first one of a f*ckin TRIOLOGY.
PS: Tatiana, you deserved much more.
Danny Trejo is such a treasure. He may not be a good actor but he's so damn lovable. Although not implied by the name it's nice to see him in a non-action character driven film. Trejo is my old mexican grandpa that occasionally has to kick some ass. I can't believe this was made, a feature film about a 40 second viral video.
The best part of watching this movie, was the fact that I got to watch it with my oldest son who was home from Alaska for the first time in 2 years...thank you Air Force for moving him so far away. As for the movie.....mmmm...let's see Machette with a baseball bat versus Machette with a machette. Not as gory as Machette but just as predictable. If you are a fan of Danny Trejo check this one out....if not stay away.
I loved watching Danny Trejo beat up scumbags, but the movie itself loses steam as it progresses.
I’m totally going to watch the third one too! Gimmie dat bayou badassery
Danny Trejo and a fanny pack. He's getting too old for this shit, and so is Danny Glover, who co-stars in the sequel.
