Too many fans seem to be blown away

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I saw this flick way back in the 80s on a rented VHS. Definitely for 80s, action fan. Its distributed by none other than the gr8 Troma Entertainment. Its an over the top cheesy action entertainment. In an era of Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis, JCVD, Seagal, there was the curly, greasy, poor mans Stallone, Peter O'Brian aka The Stabilizer. Check out the clothes n the hairstyle man. Cobra look-a-like picture is priceless man. N the villain spitting on it is even better. A guy on a motorcycle flying through a window, unique way of breaking into someones home. There are fists, feet and arrows flying by… God bless the 80s for such over the top action flicks. The Stabilizer fights tons of thugs with machine guns, dodges a boat with torpedoes, escapes a fiery inferno, and takes out the villains personal chopper. This movie is non- stop action. One of the villains henchman in the warehouse looks like poor mans Mr T. Breaking through a wall with a motorcycle. Priceless action scene man. The barrel bouncing off of the head. Wow. Did I forget 2 mention the spiked shoes. Atrocious dubbing n dialogues. Enuff frontal nudity. Over the top cheesy entertainment.

Great Scott! – Here's a dementedly bad movie that even the mighty Godfrey Ho would be proud of! Witness explosions and gun fire galore, some hilariously rendered fight scenes, a healthy quota of breasts, some atrocious dubbing/voice over work including some priceless expletive filled awful dialogue, a death by garden strimmer(!) and best of all a hero who looks uncannily like Queen guitarist Brian May!!! (complete with tight permed mullet!) A completely OTT experience and essential viewing for all fellow bad movie connoisseurs! Seriously, what more could you want for in a film?!Note: Look out especially for the ingenious, bizarre shot of what at first appears to be a butt crack but is in actual fact the crease of a man's arm(!!!) Why was said scene included in the film in the first place? Your guess is as good as mine! Still, never let it be said that the director didn't have an artistic eye! erm......

Anyone who will pay to see Troma movies knows, and appreciates, what they are going to get. Having said that, I didn't think it was possible to make a movie this bad, and still be compelling. I found myself watching just to see how much worse it could get before the end. First off, it's an Indonesian action movie with an American main character who looks and acts like the bastard son of "Taxi"'s Christopher Lloyd and Rambo. He puts posters of himself dressed up like Sly's "Cobra" all over the place and even has a custom built firing range (with action-posed cutouts of his greatest enemies)in Jakarta although he's in the CIA and has just arrived days earlier. There is a lot of action involving gun-play(no muzzle-flashes on those M-16s, only sound effects), motorcycles(that bust through walls), karate(where no one makes physical contact) and even some sex(where all the actors are ugly). The main plot of an epic like this should at least be reasonably plausible, but not here. It involves the world's most dangerous drug cartel going all out to find a "drug detector device". Why would they need it? That is never revealed, why not kill drug-sniffing dogs? Makes no sense, but, it is taken seriously. The actors are to be commended because they really seemed to think this movie would make them all famous and tried hard to "act". Best line? "Now dance to your grave you dirty whore!" Best scene? Rambo jumps onto flying helicopter, pulls machine gun out of baddie's hand, let's go, falls, shoots helicopter as he's falling, helicopter blows up, cut to mannequin thrown in water. F**king genius! If you can't appreciate trash, don't watch it. If you can, it's awesome. One last thing, did I mention it was directed by the three Punjabi brothers?

What's the most violent movie of all time? Rambo III? Commando? Robocop? Add these three very violent together, and you still won't equal the carnage in The Stabilizer, the wildest, silliest, craziest action movie I have ever seen. For one hundred minutes things blow up and people die in dozens of strange ways. It will make you laugh and cheer, and when it's all over you'll be more than a little exhausted. This movie is a buried gem, a cult classic sadly lacking a cult.The Stabilizer is the nickname of our hero Peter Goldson (Peter O'Brian), a large oily man with a curly mullet. He arrives in Indonesia on the trail of the villainous and mean Greg Rainmaker. We know he is evil because he is only referred to by his full name ("I hate SCUM like Greg RAINmaker!") and utilizes a method of killing that is so horrible I can't even utter it here. Wait, yes I can. He steps on people in spiky shoes. Greg Rainmaker: Cleat Killer.When Greg Rainmaker isn't pouring alcohol on women for their sexual pleasure, he's kidnapping important professors and heading a huge underworld empire. It's up to Goldson (A Jewish action hero? Gevalt!) and his motley crew of sidekicks to stabilize the situation by killing everyone and blowing lots of stuff up. Maybe "stabilize" has a different meaning in Indonesia.And the violence, oh the violence. This is a film unwilling, nay, uncapable, of letting five minutes of screen time go by without some sort of explosion, knifing, car crash, or squib interrupting the dialogue. The violence is extreme; not graphic and bloody, just really weird. For example, The Stabilizer & company invade one of Rainmaker's warehouses (by driving through a solid concrete wall on a motorcycle, of course). When perched on the balcony, with heavy fire coming from below, The Stabilizer does the one thing he can do. He drives off the balcony into the guy's head, his front tire bouncing off it like a basketball. Astounding.From the overly-gratuitous love scenes (Both major female characters hop in the sack with the hero of their choice not two minutes after they speak to them alone for the first time) to the poorly dubbed dialogue ("Victor, you talented bastard!") The Stabilizer has it all. This is a film for the ages, right up there with Citizen Kane and Gymkata. It is not widely available in release. If you find it anywhere for any price, buy it and relish the insanity.
