I was a Pittsburgh crew member on this film, and I want inform those in the business that the producers of this film left town without paying most of the crew including the local actors, art dept., grips, police officers, stills photographer, and locations. Chuck Bale and Jack Brown functioned as line producers and are directly responsible for this illegal, disrespectful, and shameful, production. I will let the film speak for itself, but as you watch the "rape scene" in the dumpster, Please realize that the young lady was in a real dumpster with real garbage, absolutely frozen, exposed to the crew, was asked to do multiple takes and these guys didn't have the decency to pay her what they said they would. Mr. Bale and Mr. Brown's careers seem to have ended years ago but if you do encounter a production that involves them, beware. I respectfully ask IMDb to included this on your site.

The Beastmaster himself, Marc Singer (presumably having now lost his telepathic affinity with animals and subsequently washed up and looking like a right scruffy old sod here!) headlines in this action(less) entry as maverick cop (yep, cliché territory, full steam ahead!) Mike Justice, a man who doesn't play by the rules.....etc. etc........yawn. To be fair, Singer puts in a decent performance as always and is additionally backed up by a good assembled cast which includes the consistently excellent Steve Railsbeck and the perpetually menacing looking Tommy Lister but sadly, none of them are given anything of remote interest to do here in what amounts to be an entirely bland and predictable effort. If the truth be told, if not for the high level of violence, swearing and some brief nudity, I would have sworn this was a mundane made for TV movie. Oh well........you have been warned.

Not being one of the best vigilante films out there, this film has still enough twists and atmosphere for its genre to make it exciting enough. For instance this combination of a hooker and a Christian worshipper who team up with an ex-cop for some vigilante justice, I haven't seen before. Also I think some effort has been made into the dialogue.

Almost all of the main male actors I find well above average. Especially Marc Singer (Mike Justus), Steve Railsback (sergeant Freeborn), Tom Lister Jr. (Angel Aikrns, and Bryan Cranston (Father Brophy) stand out. But make no mistake, this is certainly a b-film.

In theme it reminds me a bit of other vigilante films such as "The Annihilators" (1985), "Death Wish 4" (1987), and the somewhat better "Shotgun/Vigilante" (1982).

I enjoyed my 3 or 4 days on the set working as background on this movie. I had no idea what the plot was, but if you look closely, you'll see me trudging around the neighborhood with long beautiful and glasses. After a few days, the producer types seemed to take a liking to me and made me a production assistant for a few days. That late night on Venice Beach with the dumpster seemed super strange but I was on the outskirts. I enjoyed having craft services with the Beastmaster himself, Marc Singer, who was super fun to talk to and we talked about skit of fun topics. I was also driving limos around L. A. & know how to deal with celebrities of all kinds. Anyway, yeah, it was one of my last little gigs before my family conned me into throwing away my offer of a SAG card to go back to Law School. Turns out their promises were a scam, so I used creative visualization I'd learned on Marina Del Rey beach to create a new job for myself in the Internet and I didn't make it back in time to L. A. before my amazing hair wasn't what it used to be!

While Steve Railsback and Marc Singer turn in decent performances, the rest of the case, especially Soon-Tek Oh and Kim Lankford, don't come up to even high school Christmas program standards. While Lankford possesses a beautiful smile and has turned out to be a very lovely mature woman, she isn't convincing in the role of Singer's love interest, and Oh, who has done good work in the past, overacts to the point of burlesque. The script is nothing to write home about, and the production values are bargain-basement. The only positive I can come up with is that Singer is at least paired with a woman that approaches his own age. Rent STREET CORNER JUSTICE only if you want to look at Kim Lankford's pretty face.

Yeah this is a bad film. Actually anything Marc Singer has done since "V: The Final Battle" has been of the lowest possible quality. Which is too bad because Marc Singer could have become a great character actor. Anyway, this is yet another film about gang violence that knows nothing of it's subject. The only high point is that it was all shot in Eagle Rock, CA (also where Tom Cruise's character from "Days Of Thunder" was from). So if you live in Eagle Rock or have ever spent any time there this film may be very fun to watch and see how the filmmakers have ghetto-ized the town. Other than that there is no good reason to see this movie.

I was curious about seeing Beverly Leech in something other than the show 'Mathnet', which she is best known for. So, I tuned in one night when it was on TV. Whoa! Talk about a far cry from Kate Monday! Willie Gee was a role I would never have imagined Bev in for a million years. I mean, she was dressed in tight leather, smoking, kicking people's butts, and well, that just isn't the image I've come to know her for! I'm sure many of her fans would agree. It was nothing short of shocking!

The movie itself was pretty dull and I dunno, just lacking. But I made myself watch it anyway, and honestly, I don't think I would again, but I encourage any fan of 'Mathnet' to take a look at just how different a role Bev can play.
