Stone Cold

Plot synopsis:
Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) is the police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts, a small coastal town north of Boston. A former homicide detective in Los Angeles, Jesse was fired from the LAPD because of a drinking problem that began following his divorce. He was hired for the Paradise position by the corrupt president of the town council who thought he would be easy to control. After five years, Jesse is still in contact with his ex-wife Jenn, who calls him regularly. He also has a relationship with a beautiful lawyer named Abby Taylor (Polly Shannon), who sits on the town council. Although their relationship is mainly physical, they have a genuine affection and concern for each other.
One cold November night, a body is discovered on a rocky shoreline by Jesse's deputy, Officer Luther "Suitcase" Simpson (Kohl Sudduth). The victim was shot twice in the heart with a .22 caliber weapon. With no suspect, motive, or weapon, Jesse begins his investigation by gathering the names of gun owners in Paradise who have registered a .22. He also adopts the victim's loyal dog, Reggie. Soon a second victim is discovered in a parking lot—also shot twice in the heart by a .22. Jesse orders photographs taken of all the vehicles in the lot and their license plates, suspecting that the killer or killers are still in the area. Following a third killing with the same modus operandi, an eyewitness is found who saw a red Ford Explorer driving away from the scene of the crime. Jesse checks the photos from the parking lot of the second murder and discovers a red Ford Explorer, registered to someone who is also on the list of .22 caliber gun owners in Paradise, Andrew Lincoln.
Brianna and Andrew Lincoln are middle-aged thrill killers, independently wealthy from a patent Andrew obtained for an optical scanner he invented while practicing medicine. The couple moved to Paradise and began selecting random people and murdering them while videotaping their crimes. Later they find erotic pleasure in watching the videos of the murders while having sex. Jesse and Luther pay the Lincolns a visit and briefly interview the couple, who show interest in the murders. As they leave, Jesse tells Luther that the Lincolns are the killers.
Meanwhile, Jesse investigates the rape of a high school girl, Candace Pennington (Alexis Dziena), who refuses to talk about the incident and whose parents refuse to report the crime, to avoid scandal. Assisted by Officer Molly Crane (Viola Davis), Jesse discovers the identity of the three boys who raped Candace. After one of the rapists, Bo Marino (Shawn Roberts), is brought in on drug charges, Jesse discovers photos in the boy's possession of the naked Candace being raped. Bo's father and his attorney arrive at the police station, but the boy spends one night in jail. After Candace agrees to testify against the boys, Bo and his father storm into Jesse's office and force a confrontation, that ends with Candace's father knocking both Bo and his father to the floor. The attorneys for the three rapists agree to have their clients plead guilty, in exchange for sentences of "community service".
While Jesse struggles to find evidence on the Lincolns, the murderous couple begin to stalk Abby Taylor. One afternoon, while walking through a park trying to reach Jesse on her mobile phone, Abby is murdered by the Lincolns in cold blood. Devastated by his girlfriend's murder, Jesse devises a plan that will encourage the killers to attempt to kill him. He goes to the Lincolns' home and returns the .22 rifle. As they taunt the police chief with subtle talk of the murders, Jesse makes it clear that he knows they are the killers.
Jesse calls Andrew Lincoln and asks to meet later that night at the parking lot scene of the second crime and Andrew agrees. Jesse suspects that the Lincolns have other plans and while Molly and Luther wait at the parking lot, Jesse waits outside Candace's house, knowing the killers intend to kill Candace. The Lincolns show up at Candace's house and enter the living room where a tape recording of Candace and her parents is playing. Just as they realize they've been set up, Jesse enters the room. Brianna pulls out two .22 caliber pistols and shoots Jesse in the chest. Knowing of their ritualistic technique of shooting their victims in the heart, Jesse has come prepared with a bulletproof vest. Jesse returns fire and shoots Brianna dead. He turns to Andrew and tempts him to pick up his gun, but the cowering murderer refuses, saying no court will give him the death penalty and that he will outlive the police chief. Jesse responds by punching him in the face.
Afterwards, Jesse returns to his house by the water and pours himself a drink. His wife calls and begins to leave a message on the answering machine, but Jesse doesn't pick up the phone. Instead he walks outside and watches the tide beneath the evening sky.

Review:
STONE COLD was such a big bomb in theaters, it not only put an end to the Stone Group film company, but derailed Brian Bosworth's chance of a post-football career in theatrical movies - it was several years later when Bosworth made his next movie, which went straight to video.
Black roots juxtaposed with platinum blonde tresses hanging like a mudflap down his beefy neck while the top and sides are all "bidness" crewcut as evidenced by his ability to infiltrate both the Salsa club and the greasy biker compound.Rent this movie and watch in rapt horror/delight as "The Boz" tears a searing hole into your heart!.
this is a surprisingly entertaining movie.it won't win any awards for originality.this plot line has been used several times,sometimes to better effect,sometimes not.as a matter of fact,Charlie Sheen would star in pretty much the same movie,Beyond the Law,one year later(1992).both are comparable efforts.any way,in Stone Cold Brian Bosworth,an ex football player,takes on the role of of the undercover cop.He does a surprisingly admirable job.it's strange that his film career didn't take off,as his acting ability equals(probably surpasses) that of Stallone and Shwarzennegger when they started out.He is certainly better than Van Damme.Lance Henrickson is well cast as the chief bad guy in the film.action abounds in this movie,leaving pretty much no dramatic moments.of course in most movies of this type,there is zero character development,but that can be forgiven in this case.the movie knows what it is and doesn't try to be something it's not.it is pure fun.oh,yeah,i almost forgot.William Forsythe also plays a baddie and is brilliant as always.this is definitely a great way to entertain yourself for 2 hours.
Stone Cold is that film.Starring man of the day Brian 'the Boz' Bosworth this low budget action vehicle is one of the most fun actioners that I have ever seen.
Henrikson is a superb villain and Bosworth makes the most of his limited abilities to chew the scenery whenever it gets into his way.As I said not a perfect film but pretty damn perfect nights entertainment..
The film follows the story of a rough and tough cop Joe Huff (Brian Bosworth, aka The Boz, former NFL player who tried his hand at acting and while he may not be a great actor, he does do a decent job for the role) who is forced to go undercover in a vicious biker gang known as The Brotherhood, who's motto is "God Forgives, the Brotherhood Doesn't" (a motto that was almost certainly borrowed from the American Outlaw Association or Outlaws MC, their's being "God Forgives, Outlaws Don't).
While going undercover, the Boz faces all sorts of dangers, be it from fights, guns, knives, explosions, but above all, from the gang's infamous leader, Chains Chopper, played by the always entertaining Lance Henriksen.
Even though this is far from being standard A material, Lance dives into his character, producing one of the best bona fide psychopaths in the history of action cinema and thus making the movie all the more better because of it.
You also have William Forsythe in an equally menacing role of Ice, Chains' right hand man and constant bump in the road for the Boz. Then there is the beautiful Arabella Holzbog (sadley, I can't seem to find any info on her) as Nancy, Chains' old lady (biker slang for wife or girlfriend) who ends up falling for Huff, not realizing that he is a cop which leads to tragic results.
All in all, if you're a guy and in the mood for a man's man movie, filled with plenty of action and hot naked women, plus some really nice motorcycles, then "Stone Cold" would be a great way to spend some time on Sat night.
Brian "Boz" Bosworth, Joe Huff, a Mobile Alabama undercover cop who specializes in infiltrating biker gangs is recruited by the FBI to get the "goods" on "The Brotherhood's" leaders Chains, Lace Henriksen, and Ice, William Forsythe, as well as uncover their plans to spring Trouble Owens from jail.
If it weren't for the final five or so minutes of the movie "Stone Cold" wouldn't be worth watching with has "The Brotherhood's" explosive assault on the state capital building and "The Boz" coming to the rescue, by air, just in the nick of time before they can get away.
Even though he can't act a lick Brian "Boz" Bosworth is very imposing and physical in the movies incredible action scenes.
Henriksen and Forsythe easily steal the acting honors in the movie as the crazed and insane bikers leaders Chains and Ice. Chains even gets religious in order to get close to and take out the hated state DA Brent "The Whip" Whipperton.
Stone Cold is a very good film that has a good cast which includes Brian Bosworth, Lance Henriksen, Illana Diamant, William Forsythe, Arabella Holzbog, Sam McMurray, Richard Gant, Paulo Tocha, David Tress, Evan James, Tony Pierce, Billy Million, Robert Winley, and Gregory Scott Cummins!
If you like Brian Bosworth, Lance Henriksen, Illana Diamant, William Forsythe, Arabella Holzbog, Sam McMurray, Richard Gant, Paulo Tocha, David Tress, Evan James, the rest of the cast in the film, Action, Adventure, Thrillers, Crime, Dramas, and interesting films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!.
..........Man,how I was mistaken,I thought this movie got me alone.But it really got a whole lot of others.Was 13,when i first watched it,didn't even know Mr.Brian Bosworth,but got another chance later 5yrs later.And damn,I have never had enough of it.I liked this scene,where the biker gang storms the hospital,to see their critically bike injured colleague,and Man,they crack jokes!I like that brotherhood feel in movies,people don't expect it from leather clad bikers.Well it is just an all-time biker movie for me,it really deserves a sequel......STONE COLD II..
Stone Cold (1991) marks the film debut of former college football star (and N.F.L. bust) Brian Bosworth.
I don't think this movie deserve a low rating, it should be more than 6.0 i guess...To all people who gives this movie a low vote and bad reviews about Stone Cold, please watch this movie again and judge this this movie as an simple action movie, not drama, war or anything else because Stone Cold is definitely not an Oscar Nominated movie, but indeed it does have good elements, hard hitting action and violence.Give this movie a try...if u're a fan of Lance Henriksen, i guarantee u will love this flick...10*/10 (Excellent).
This is a great movie you need if you are one of the following: 1)Bored 2)With some friends getting drunk or stoned 3)Just a huge fan of late 80s/early 90s action over the top flicks.Check your brain at the door before you watch!And then some....
If you like bikers, Harley's, or if you're into some simple action entertainment, I really recommend this one.Not Brian Bosworth is the big star over here, but William Forsythe as the villain Ice Hensley.
Those "critics" will like for nothing better than to watch non-stop episodes of Ally McBeal and various LIFETIME and OXYGEN channel programming.If you truly enjoy watching action movies, Stone Cold is a must see.
Most action films fall short in this category, where predictable Hollywood endings have now become the norm.The story is simple, stunts are first rate, acting is good, and the plot twists are fun.This movies is now available on DVD..
Stone Cold is the best action-movie.
Bosworth (Of course, my favourite Action Actor) plays a Tough Cop, who kick the violent Bikers, in their A.....
"Stone Cold" is fine rip-roaring, kick ass, macho action entertainment, a perfectly mindless update of the biker films that took dominance in the 1960s and 70s.
Functioning as the debut movie vehicle for football star Brian "Boz" Bosworth, it's got great heroes and villains and extremely well staged action sequences.
"I Come in Peace"), guides all of it with efficiency, setting a tone immediately with the very amusing supermarket robbery opening.Boz plays Joe Huff, an Alabama cop on suspension recruited by the FBI to infiltrate a particularly ruthless biker gang named The Brotherhood, led by the malevolent "Chains" (a confident Henriksen), who run afoul of the local Mob as well as the Feds.
Besides those actors mentioned, Sam McMurray is funny as germophobic federal agent Lance, Richard Gant is good as his boss Cunningham, Arabella Holzbog is appealing as Nancy (Chains's old lady), and you'll doubtless recognize Robert Winley, who plays Mudfish, from other biker roles he's played (most memorably in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day").Be prepared to turn off your brain and just have fun with "Stone Cold".
The leader of the biker gang played by Lance Henriksen is a great villain and the undercover sub plot is fun to watch.
His new identity is John Stone (and thus the sense-making title!) and his nemesis is Chains Cooper (a truly brilliant Lance Henriksen) and his right-hand man Ice (William Forsythe, playing the second of his 1991 psycho maniacs after his turn in Out For Justice).Brian Bosworth, as Joe Huff, truly is an amalgamation of all the tough-guy tropes of the era delivered in one meathead package.
A violent motorcycle gang called The Brotherhood led by Chains Cooper (Lance Henriksen) and his right-hand man Ice Hensley (William Forsythe) is murdering and causing havoc.
Suspended Alabama cop Huff is forced by the FBI to go undercover to infiltrate the gang.This has some good action scenes especially for a B-movie.
John Stone (The Boz) is a cop who goes undercover in a biker gang to weed out the leader, Chains (Henriksen) and his dangerous crew.Okay, the plot isn't much, but how about that Mullet!
The first thing didn't happen, Bosworth has languished in low grade schlock ever since, but in spite of its low rating on internet forums, Stone Cold is a gloriously over the top action movie that wouldn't have looked out of place on either of Arnold and Sly's resume's.
acting role, former football player Brian ("The Boz") Bosworth stars as Alabama cop Joe Huff.
If you like fact acting action, & Harleys, then you'll enjoy Stone Cold.
STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs Loose-cannon cop Joe Huff (Brian Bosworth) is approached by the FBI to infiltrate a biker gang called The Brotherhood who've been spreading a wave of terror across America,and are now branching out with the mafia in the drugs,protection and prostitution rackets.Assuming the identity of Stone (remember my Team America review!) a hard-ass biker with a problem with authority,he ingratiates himself with the biking community and their maniacal leader Chains (Lance Henriksen),but it will only be a matter of time before his cover is blown and he has to take down the bad guys in true tough guy fashion.Of all the direct-to-video action movies originally released around the late 80s/early 90s period,Stone Cold is easily one of the most memorable,enduring and popular ones,probably with no small part owed to the legions of 'biker' fans around the globe,especially in the States,with Craig R Baxley,responsible for a number of such films around that period,at the helm.In the lead role,former pro-American footballer Bosworth has a fairly strong presence,no Bruce Willis but certainly no Don 'The Dragon' Wilson either!He's the diminutive early 90s action hero,long hair,long leather jacket,well oiled six-pack,and dodgy retro-80s Flashdance clothing (with a touch of the Patrick Swayze about him,in fact),appearing in the diminutive early 90s action film.In the bad guy role,genre favourite Henriksen ditches his usual calm,assured persona for a slightly crazier,more maniacal turn as the kill-crazy Chains.All the supporting cast,mainly concerned in the 'Brotherhood' roles,William Forsythe especially,give off eerily convincing turns as mean,merciless bikers with no respect for law,order or the sanctity of human life.The film also boasts some cool visual scenes with the bikers on their bikes or in their gangs.The story doesn't really work very well,poorly plotted and failing to hold together as an engaging whole.And the film is clearly made on the cheap,with some really see-through lighting throughout that sees it remains indicative of it's video roots.But the script offers up some nice lines ("Imagine the future,Chains-'cos you're not in it!",amongst others) here-and-there,and there are a couple of cracking action scenes amongst some others that are certainly not to be sniffed at.Overall,this is one to check out if you'd like to see a real distinctive archetypal early 90s action film.If you're looking for a film with a decent story or anything like that,you'd be wise to look elsewhere but,if you know what you're here for,you should have some fun.***.
It's a hard-core biker movie about outlaws who control the underground and it's up to John Stone(Brian Bosworth) to infiltrate the gang and shut it down.
Lance Hendrikson(Chains) and William Forsythe(Ice) support the movie well playing the leaders of the biker gang.
They don't make action movie like Stone Cold anymore cause people nowadays very judgmental and harsh towards action movie cause they need to make some sense or else no one can relate to the story and feel for the characters.I appreciate action movie from the 80s-90s are the most cause they super entertaining and know no limits with ultra violent and corny dialogue.Brian Bosworth is badass and Lance Henriksen is terrific as the bad guy so Stone Cold is a much watch for action fan.
Very enjoyable and entertaining movie.typical end of 80's beginning of 90's style, a stud which dresses weirdly, short sentences and unexpected jokes, in the overall style it reminds me of Terminatorfor example (in style not quality or level).it is Brian Bosworth very fist movie but if you didnt tell me i wouldnt know i thought he is very decent.the whole biker theme is pretty cool and really puts you in the atmosphere.well worth a watch, recommended, 8/10..
Stone Cold has some of the best talent around making this movie happen, Brian Bosworth, William Forsythe, Lance Henriksen (Millenium, Hard Target, Terminator).
The movie offers a great combination of action, biker and undercover cop genres.
It also presents Bosworth as a decent actor whose on screen persona fit those direct to video movies, never quite being good enough to make it to major releases but solid enough to make a living as an action star in his own right.
Both continue to make movies and have added some fantastic characters to their list of achievements over the years."Stone Cold" is an underrated, hardcore, 90's action flick.
Brian Bosworth, former Seattle Seahawks linebacker, stars in this average 80's action film with plenty of good plot-additives (Hell's Angels-like motorcycle gang, explosions for no reason, Bosworth in bikini briefs).
William Forsythe (Dick Tracy, Raising Arizona) and Lance Henriksen (Terminator, Pumpkinhead, Aliens) are two gang members with bad reputations who plot to kill the mayor because the FBI captured their leader.I was entertained by this film, but I couldn't get past the 80's cliché action films which put this movie in the middle of the pile.
Brian Bosworth plays Joe Huff a cop who goes undercover to infiltrate a biker gang who is planning an assassination on a senator in this chaotic yet strangely entertaining feature which rises above most movies of the genre.
if you were brian bosworth, you probably answered with, "make a horrible movie!"  and "stone cold" is truly a bad movie.
"stone cold" is a so-bad-it's-good movie.
This film is a high-end B-movie with over-the-top action and a good amount of Ultra-Violence dished out at any moment it can.
The film itself is nearly 2 hours long, so if you are looking for an action packed movie then this one is a good choice.
The stunts are good, the film making above average for a B movie and also it has a plot!
Brian Bosworth stars as John Stone a police officer who goes undercover to infiltrate a band of bikers who are planning on killing a senator and are becoming a problem with the FBI, National Guard and the Senator in question.
The rest of it was really enjoyable and never slow and has the typical bad guy, Lance Henrikson and is good at being the head of a huge biker gang.I definitely recommend this movie to every action movie fan...
An ex football star who was given a chance at being a box office draw, but never hit the big screen again, Henriksen in probably one of his best bad guy roles, naked women, a maniacal Forsythe coming straight from out for justice.And of course, silly explosions, stick in the ass partners, punch ups for no reason, and rock music playing whenever Bosworth mounts a bike.It's not plausible, the story is rotten, but does it give you a lot of bang for your buck.
All the characters are good, and the story while routine is pretty cool, plus Brian Bosworth and Lance Henriksen both deliver fun performances.
Brian Bosworth is not a very good actor at all, however he kept me very entertained, he was fun to watch, and blew lots of sh*t up, had some cool lines,and was one big dude, I liked him.
I find the violence in movies like Stone Cold, Cobra, The Death Wish series, and others way more potent than Shoot 'Em Up, Kill Bill, or any Jet Li movie.Lance Henrikson and William Forsythe are number one and number two on the list of most psychotic bikers in film history.
And the first film that Bosworth starred in was Stone Cold, a tough cop versus evil bikers epic.Joe Huff (Bosworth) has been suspended for how rough he is on criminals.
Bad idea - the villain grabs a gun and comes back for Joe/John, who is saved by Lance.Stone Cold was originally going to be directed by Bruce Malmuth (Hard to Kill, Nighthawks), but personal problems led to the backstory of Bosworth's character being removed from the movie and Craig R.
Perhaps it was his football persona which enabled him to get the lead as an undercover cop in "Stone Cold".It is an action film with lots of guns, explosions, fighting, and trash talking.
