Release Sherman stays fairly close to the surface of his material, but in his hands, it's a brightly polished surface. Not that Sherman brings so many personal shadings to his direction that he tips the film over into the realm of art-as a director like Don Siegel could do with such movies as The Killers and Madigan. It's a superior product in a genre that has seen some mighty hard times of late. But for those who can, Gary Sherman's Wanted Dead or Alive is worth checking out.

who wouldn't want to admit that anything as broad as a low-budget action movie could possibly fall under the category of good. It's just that producers wanting to make another latter-day urban Rambo should at least be expected to come up with something of their own." ĭave Kehr of the Chicago Tribune wrote in his review: "There are a fair number of people in this world-probably the majority It's not that the television show was sacrosanct all it really had to recommend it was Mr. Even to those of us who have become more or less used to the cultural cannibalism that passes for inventiveness these days, the film Wanted Dead or Alive, which opens today at the National and other theaters, will seem outstandingly unnecessary. It has now, in the process of becoming a feature film, lost its colon, and that's not the half of it.

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 30% based on 10 reviews, with an average rating of 4.19/10. Wanted Dead or Alive received generally negative reviews from critics. Al-Rahim's head is blown off and his decapitated body falls to the ground. As he starts to leave, he says, "fuck the bonus" and pulls out the grenade pin. Randall explains to his bosses that they should send his payment to Quintz's family and he will keep the extra bonus for bringing him in alive. In the end, Randall brings out Al-Rahim handcuffed with a grenade jammed in his mouth.
This results in the death of his best friend, Sergeant Danny Quintz, and his girlfriend Terry, eventually forcing a showdown on the waterfront. However, Al-Rahim is also looking for Randall, and Randall's employers tell him where to find Randall.
Nick Randall is a Los Angeles-based bounty hunter and ex- CIA operative who is asked by a former co-worker to help track down terrorist Malak Al-Rahim, who bombed a movie theatre and later planned to release gas from a chemical plant similar to the Bhopal disaster. Even my kids will sit and watch from time to time.Wanted: Dead or Alive is a 1986 action film directed by Gary Sherman and starring Rutger Hauer as Nick Randall, the descendant of the character Josh Randall, played by Steve McQueen in the 1958 television series of the same title. Todays version is colourized and I think that's fantastic. I've viewed countless westerns over the years and I am firmly convinced that absolutely no one but Steve McQueen could have played TV's purest bounty hunter. What about Josh's horse? He/she seemed to prefer to walk sideways but could back up as well as Trigger. It couldn't have taken more than three rounds in its magazine, but Josh could easily get off four or five rounds in rapid succession. I never did figure out how Josh could load so fast. And then there was that sawed-off Winchester '86 and those large 45-70 caliber cartridges. There was something 'mighty' intriguing about the lone bounty hunter who brought in many more bad guys alive than dead. Right from the start the show had the coolest lead-in ever with the camera focused squarely on Josh Randall's 'hogleg' as he slowly walks up to a wanted poster and rips it away from the board. I first watched it as a seven year old in the mid '60s, even then it was in reruns.
