Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Anders Twetman I think Final Justice deserves a much higher score than the current 1.8, in fact it doesn't even belong on the bottom 100 list. That said, Final Justice (just one more justice, please)is by no means a good movie. It is almost exactly average.Joe Don Baker is kind of like the poor mans Steven Seagal, but without the martial arts, his acting, is just about average. The plot of the movie is likewise pretty straight forward 80's action plot. The action is pretty mediocre, not silly, but not very exciting. The villain, love interest and so on are all pretty typical action movie characters, not too stereotypical, but none too exciting either. The weird thing, is that the movie isn't actually cheesy like most B-movies would be, it plays everything more or less straight, and watching it, you end up feeling oh so meh.The point i'm trying to get across here is that you cannot get more mediocre than this, it is the absolute definition of mediocrity.
WakenPayne 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!
craiger-6 What reviewers and MST3K left out is the best part (and only memorable scene) of this otherwise dreadful movie: There is a very good rape-in-the-shower scene committed by the bad guy (Ben Gazzara look-alike) on Maria (as mentioned, killed later through T.J.'s ineptitude). Perhaps rape is too strong a word, "prison mating ritual" may be more appropriate. The background behind this chance, yet forced meeting is the mobster who is hiding "Ben Gazzara," introduces him to the girls hanging out at his pool. The 30-ish blonde disses him, but our villain must be quite smitten by her, because the courtship is on at that point. His first move is to attempt drowning her, until his mafia don benefactor tells him to knock it off. Kind of like the girl in high school you didn't like, but still wanted to have carnal knowledge of anyway... Let's just say, he catches UP with her in the cabana later.
Hancock_the_Superb 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!'
