***SPOILERS*** Direct to video, and it shows, action flick with the at the time, in having two hit TV shows "Baywatch" & "Night Rider", very popular David Haselhoff as bounty hunter and part time tennis instructor White Bread Donaldson or just W.B for short. W.B together with his two bounty hunter friends Mason Blue Walcott,Tony Brubaker, and Casper "The Bean" Garcia, Thomas Rosales Jr, is given the task to make sure by their cheapskate boss Aran Haronian, who's played by an actor who had his name taken off the films credits, that heiress Nettie Ridgeway, Linda Blair, makes her court appearance or else's he's out one million dollars in the bail money that he put up for her.As we soon find out Nattie was at the wrong place at the wrong time when she and her boyfriend, who unknown to her worked for the Colombian drug cartel, were busted by the police. The 5 million in coke & heroin that her boyfriend had on him was also taken from him before the bust by a rival Iranian drug gang who set, in him being busted, the whole thing up! With Nattie being kidnapped by the Colombians lead by their boss Caesar Zalazar,Greg Scott Commin, it's now up to W.B & Co. to get her back and not only save her life but her pop's Mr. Ridgway's,John Vernon, home and bank account! That he's putting up to Zalazar & Co. as collateral for the 5 million in missing coke & heroin!The movie limps along at a snails pace with both David Hesselhoff and the by now at age 29 fully developed, from her pre and later teenage "The Excorist" & "Roller Buggie" days, Linda Blair trying to make it worth watching. About the only thing that makes the film work is a number of car and helicopter chases and series of explosions that besides keeping your interested in this turkey also keeps you awake. Both Brubaker & Rosales Jr, as fellow bounty hunters Walcott & Garcia, are in the film more for comedy relief then anything else! The by far biggest disappointment in the film is that we never get to see the sexy Linda Blair disrobe even once. Which was about the only thing left that could have possibly save this as boring as watching paint dry turkey of an action movie from being the total disaster that it turned out to be.

The Hoff is on fire in this hilarious action comedy. Not only is his acting Olivieresque, but his fashion sense is also second to none. 'Bail Out', funded by sportswear company, Head, is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular films in cinematic history, peaking towards the finale with the Hoff's triumphant celebration after shooting down the evil helicopter with a flare gun. The 'two arms aloft' ecstatic cry leaves many would-be cinema goers wondering how this genial colossus of a film was ever taken straight onto VHS format. And Thank God somebody had the sense to bring Bail Out to the future generations when they decided to forward it onto the more modern DVD format. Also praise be to Tesco for not only displaying Bail Out on it's shop floors, but also for pricing this masterpiece at the CRRRAAAZZZZYYYY price of 97 pence. All Hail 'The Hoff'! Best line- 'Hit the road f**k face!'

This is one of those career stopping straight to video efforts that should never have been made.I giggle with irony here as this long lost film which for reasons unknown got renamed Bail Out in 1994, has finally landed in the UK shores in a Supermarket cheap DVD range at just 97p! The biggest irony of all of course being that is about what this pile of poo probably cost to make.....Anyway, I digress....Leaving aside the fact that my 97p (about 60c for US readers) DVD was utterly terrible in terms of picture and sound quality, brings me on to film itself.Allow you jaw to drop to the floor in disbelief as you watch some of the worst acting and out of sync dubbing in movie history.Roll on the floor with laughter at Hasselhoff's introduction scene into this mess as he plays tennis in slow motion, and then later he sings in the shower and attempts to ride a horse - both badly! Giggle incessantly at Linda Blair playing the damsel in distress that is straight out of the Hollywood cheap movie handbook. She must have need the cash methinks....Go 'Ooooh' at the ten quids worth of recycled special effects.Belly laugh at the cardboard stereotyped bad guys, the leader of which just has to be seen to be believed. Some of the other stereotypes on offer here are also straight out of central casting.Needless to say the damsel in distress is kidnapped not once but twice (how careless is that?) and of course is rescued with the usual requisite explosions, gun fights and some weird Mexican fella who appears at a crucial moment before vanishing without so much as a reasonable explanation.There is also a reasonable gun fight in a scrapyard towards the start that seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the plot whatsoever, in addition no explanation is offered for the Bail Bond guy's mysterious car change in the opening credits.If you are a fan or collector of Hasselhoff's work, you may want to track this pile of garbage down, especially if you want a laugh.Everyone else is well advised to steer well clear!

Hi, Everyone, Let's see... we have some scenes in a mansion, a few shots of Skid Row, a Go-Go bar, 50 guys on horseback, a helicopter, a big dog and a van crashing through a warehouse door. OK, there's our plot.Now we need some actors who work cheap. Hassle...who? He's still alive? Yeah. Linda Blair. I owe her a favor. She let me cut in front of her in line once at the Unemployment Office.In this bankruptcy of a movie production, Linda Blair shows she is tougher than David Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff gets the last laugh, however, because he is prettier than Blair.Casting is usually done in a way that will make the movie better. Kevin Bacon and Drew Barrymore could have had some fun with this. It would have destroyed their careers, perhaps, but it would have been much better.A better bail bondsman movie would be "Midnight Run." Charles Grodin did get laughs in that film. Charles Grodin would have done a good job in Bail Out but he could not make this into a great movie.The background music is good. There is a lot of senseless action. Most of the senseless action was the director handing the daily footage to the editor.Tom Willett
