Traxx

This movie deserves a blu ray release. VHS copies are all that exist for physical media and are hard to find. There is an HD remaster on YouTube but it’s 30 min shorter than the VHS version.

Traxx is one of those films that is so goofy and self aware that you can't help but enjoy it. It's cheesy and over-the-top, but if that's what you like, give it a shot. There are just so many scenes that are incredible, I can't summarize them here.

After watching a best of complilation from Traxx, I immediately purchased the VHS. I expected that I had just watched all of the funny scenes, but I wanted to see the complete story to see how all of the scenes were tied together. After finding a VCR to borrow, my friends and I gathered for a night of bad 80's movie viewing.My low expectations for Traxx were far surpassed. Traxx was in many ways a very bad movie, but it was "so bad, it was good" in many ways. The plot and over-the-top acting made the movie hilarious. The movie is 84 minutes long and we laughed almost continuously throughout. Even the music during the closing credits is funny and entertaining.Shadoe Stevens delivers a brilliant acting performance, in that he manages to somehow keep his composure while delivering some awful lines of dialog. In several scenes, Stevens has a huge grin on his face prior to, and even during, some of his lines. You can tell that it really was a struggle to not burst out laughing.Overall, I would recommend Traxx to anyone looking for a really fun movie to watch. If you plan a "bad movie" night, Traxx should be at the top of your list. You may only watch this movie once, but you will remember it for a long time.

very funny !

I went into Traxx hoping for a "so silly it's great" action comedy film (I mean, it's a cop who bakes cookies- what's not to like?), and while the film had its moments, they were too few and far between. It's very hit and miss. I think part of the problem is that the "renegade cop" angle was done before this, and better, in Sledge Hammer, and the wackiness was executed much better in The Naked Gun and Police Squad. There were quite a few gags in here that could've been much funnier if they had been fine-tuned. I also didn't care for the look of the film, which looked dirty and cheap. The soundtrack is also very dated; you can tell it came from the '80s.It wasn't a total waste of time but I wasn't laughing as much as I hoped I would.

Good farce. Excellent parody of good guy versus bad guys

came in very qjuickly

Shadow still swears this movie "isn't all that and not a very good production" but if ya know him, he has a streak of "humble". It's actually a good spoof and his personality fits the character to a tee. Just wish we had disc or blue ray to choose from. Tape is good but the resolution just isn't the same. Let's hope it's coming.
