Stone Cold Movie
Storyline
TAGLINES
A cop who enforces his own brand of justice.
He'll burn you cold.
Joe Huff is a cop who is angry at the system for handling criminals with kid gloves. Joe is on suspension, but the FBI gives him an opportunity to go undercover in Mississippi and infiltrate "The Brotherhood," a white supremacist biker gang that runs drugs. In the Brotherhood, each member legally changes his name to his Brotherhood nickname. The Brotherhood is led by a violent psychopath named Chains Cooper. Joe — rechristened "John Stone" — accepts the job, even though he's not happy about it. His FBI contact, Lance, doesn't really look at home in biker bars. And the members of the Brotherhood, especially Chains, have their doubts about Joe, who wants a piece of their action. Joe has to kill a man as his initiation. With the FBI's help, he carefully fakes a murder and is accepted by everyone except for Chains's right hand man Ice, who still thinks Joe's an undercover cop. Joe befriends Chains's girlfriend Nancy, and when Joe learns that Nancy is not happy being with Chains, Joe offers to help her escape. Ice finds Joe meeting with Lance, and tries to warn Chains, but Ice is killed in a fiery motorcycle crash before he can get to Chains. Nancy is later killed by Chains, and the man Joe is supposed to have murdered turns up alive, blowing Joe's cover. Chains and his gang later take the Mississippi supreme court hostage in an effort to stop one of their men, Trouble Owens, from being sentenced to be executed for killing a priest, and it's up to Joe to end the situation.

Brian Bosworth's 'e' for effort.
posted on 25 Jul 2009Brian Bosworth's turn at making movies has been pretty unsuccessful. However, this film is just plain entertaining. The leader of the biker gang played by Lance Henriksen is a great villain and the undercover sub plot is fun to watch. As strictly a 'b' movie, 'Stone Cold' is worth renting with your friends when your Saturday night plans collapse and there's nothing else to do.
Must Read for Stone Cold Fans Region 1 Finally Available!
posted on 26 Jun 2009I think this early 90's classic speaks for itself. If you love great action movies or were a fan of the Boz this movie is for you. Fast moving great action all the time some cheezy lines but what do you expect it's a B movie with your basic biker plot. I personally have been waiting for this to come to region one as the non region dvd's it was available on were recorded very crappy.
As for the dvd itself I think it is very good for what it is. List price on most major outlet sites is $[...] and if you are spending $[...] that isn't bad for this product. It is important to remember that Stone Group Pictures Company originally put out this movie and went out of business shortly there after. This movie was shot in 1:33:1 and was bought out by Columbia pictures who is the company who brought it to HBO and let the movie be played for quite a few years through the early to late 90's. Although the movie was put out in a limited amount of theaters it's the main purpose Stone Group had was to sell it to cable TV so that is why it was shot in 1:33. Now the movie has changed hands again as MGM is behind the dvd. I agree with the other guy on here who complained about the widescreen version. It is crap a bunch of the picture is cut out but that is the best they could do to make it widescreen and these days that is all people want. To take a 1:33 image and reduce it to 1:85 or even worse in some cases as bad as 235:1 it kills the picture. You have to watch for this stuff if you are a widescreen buf. Usually it will say on the back of the DVD that it is "matted widescreen" which means they took a bigger image and reduced it to make it widescreen because the negative they had was not compatiable to be made into a true widescreen as is the case in this B movie flick. Anyway for those of you who love this movie set you widescreen TV to 4:3 mode put the dvd on the fullscreen side and sit back and enjoy the show. I did and enjoyed the movie for the first time in a long time because my VHS was shot and a region free dvd I bought of it looked worse than did that of my overwatched sometimes flickering VHS. I am glad this flick has finally been put out in our region.
Absolutely Awesome
posted on 24 Apr 2009This is not your blow up everything in sight action movie, this is not your good guy saves the world flick, this is what action is supposed to be about. Stone Cold will give you a glimpse into an organized MC Club (motorcycle: for the uninitiated)and this action flick knows how to play it. If your looking for a movie with a predictable plot, predictable scenes, and a predictable ending), then you need to go look elsewhere.
Stone Cold has some of the best talent around making this movie happen, Brian Bosworth, William Forsythe, Lance Henriksen (Millenium, Hard Target, Terminator).
"Sometimes you gotta just turn it on".....so grab this video if you can, and turn it on....you won't be disappointed.
Stone Cold is the best action-movie
posted on 20 Apr 2009Stone Cold is one of my favourite Action-Films. You will be a Action-Fan, you will love this movie. Bosworth (Of course, my favourite Action Actor) plays a Tough Cop, who kick the violent Bikers, in their A..... In this Movie are a lot of spectacular Stunts. I LOVE THIS ACTION MOVIE. P.S. Send me LINKS about Brian Bosworth. I have not enough about him.
Absolutely brilliant
posted on 18 Apr 2009John Stone (The Boz) is a rough and tough undercover cop who has made a name for himself by cracking down on the motorcycle gang scene in Alabama. After a supermarket scuffle, he comes to a crossroad in his life. He can either take a four month suspension or accept a dangerous FBI assignment where he must infiltrate the notorious motorcycle gang know simply as "The Brotherhood". Led by Mad "Chains" Cooper, it is well known that the Brotherhood plan on getting revenge on Prosecutor Brent "The Whip" Whipperton after he unjustly sentenced their fellow brother to death for shooting a priest in the stomach with a shotgun. Stone accepts the mission and with the help from his buddy Gut, he quickly gels with the Brotherhood like melted cheese on a beef patty. Chains eventually discovers that Stone is not the "bulldozer" that he once thought, but instead "the biggest pork chop he has ever ate". The fight scenes following is where Boz's acting ability truly shines. He is a fierce thunderstorm, where his fists are the thunder and his flowing blonde mullet is the lightning bolt of destruction tearing through the hearts of the Brotherhood. I will not spoil the brilliant ending, but I will tell you that Chains and the Brotherhood are flying first class to Painville, and Stone is checking the tickets at the gate.
Personally, this movie has given me much joy over the years and I am certain that it will do the same for you. Not only has Bosworth's portrayal of John Stone shed light on the dirty underbelly of American society, but he has paved the way for other NFL linebackers to follow in his footsteps (Howie Long, Broken Arrow).
Where is this movie on DVD?
posted on 13 Dec 2008I agree with all the previous reviews.....but where is this movie on DVD? Are the distributors playing games like they did with the release of Near Dark? With so many unknown movies being put on disc, where is this one? Brian Bosworth needs to have all his movies put on DVD.
Questions about Stone Cold
posted on 18 Nov 2008I'm the guy who played Poker in Stone Cold, and got shot off the bike by Bosworth and blew the helicopter up. If you have any questions about the movie, I can answer them. I was also consultant to the director, and did my own stunts. I body guarded Brian Bosworth for seven months while filming the movie. There was 7 pounds of explosives in the bike that killed the chopper. Seven cameras ran to cover the action from outside the actual capitol of Arkansas. The scenes that were shot in the capitol itself were arranged by the secretary of state, and were shot on a Sunday when everyone was off work. The film was shot in five states. The tunnel scenes were shot in Mobile, Alabama. The tunnel was closed off for the whole day, which caused major traffic problems for the downtown area of Mobile.
Simply put, this is my favorite movie
posted on 13 Nov 2008I was skeptical when i originally flipped through the channels and saw Stone Cold, starring Brian Bosworth, but as I curiously flipped to HBO, and watched for the first time, I was hooked. This movie has it all. Great action, the Boz ruining bikers, drugs, motorcycle chases, anything you want. This might be the most underrated movie of all time. With characters like the Brotherhood's biker badasses of Chains, Ice, Tool, AWOL, Trouble Owens, and even the meek Gut, contrasting with the righteous Joe Huff/John Stone Nancy, Lance, and the Mafia (originally introduced through Demechi, who introduces himself by throwing a grenade) this movie really is a great action thriller.
And above all, the Boz delivers what I consider to be a very good acting performance. This still is a surprise everytime I see the movie. His dialogue is well delivered, the intonation of his speech is realistic, and his actions and movements are fluid.
The bottom line is: I love this movie.
Rare Find
posted on 17 Sep 2008Don't buy the hype from those who criticized this movie without watching it - Those "critics" will like for nothing better than to watch non-stop episodes of various LIFETIME channel programming
If you enjoy watching action movies, Stone Cold is a must see - It's a rare find where the bad guys win....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
release this movie in screenwide format on dvd
posted on 24 Aug 2008i have been a major fan of this movie since it was first released.it pops up on tv periodically. ive noticed that a lot of forgotten classics from the 60's 70's & 80's are being released on dvd. hopefully someone will get the message and release this classic biker movie. lance hendrickson is great. he makes this movie.
Great "B" action flick with lots of guns, chicks and Hogs!
posted on 23 Apr 2008Brian "The Boz" Bosworth, gives a surprising pressence to this film. It's like a domestic-biker -Rambo style film with Bosworth taking care of business with the bad guys rather than Stallone! Great performance by Lance Henriksen as the biker's leader 'Chains'. Definitely someone you wouldn't want your sister to date!
stone cold
posted on 01 Dec 2007awesome movie i saw this back when it first came out and it was as good as any of the other action flix out there . but as we all know in hollywood if you are not a part of the click you dont get good ratings.... brian is not the greatest actor out there but i think he does a good job , i wish they would put him in a movie with a big budget to show every one he is a pretty good actor. seriously.... look at sylvester stalone, he is not that good of an actor but he got in with someone that pulled the right strings. BUY ALL OF BRIAN'S MOVIES and really compare him to some of the ' GREATS'
Finally, Finally, Finally, Finally, Finally, !!!!!!!!!!!
posted on 07 Aug 2009If you haven't seen this movie yet then there is a void in your life! From start to finish this is action packed and has the man Lance Henriksen in it!! And William Forsythe who is a bad mf'r in this. The Boz ain't the best actor in the world but he does a great job in this flick. It's the ultimate biker movie. I have been waiting forever for this movie to be on dvd and it's finally on it's way. 5 stars and 2 thumbs way up for this!!! If you haven't seen this then I recommend highly that you do. I'm so stoked to see this coming to dvd I can't even explain!!!!!
