Wings Hauser Steals Show in 'L.A. Bounty' Villain Role
5 Jun
Summary
- Sybil Danning stars as a lone bounty hunter seeking revenge.
- Wings Hauser plays a delightfully twisted, murderous psychopath.
- The film is a classic 'lone bounty hunter looking for revenge' flick.
Released in 1989, "L.A. Bounty" presents a familiar tale of a lone bounty hunter seeking retribution. Sybil Danning stars as Ruger, a former narcotics officer driven by the murder of her partner by drug kingpin Cavanaugh.
Ruger's path crosses with Cavanaugh again when she intervenes in the kidnapping of mayoral candidate Mike Rhodes. Cavanaugh, a psychopathic drug lord with a penchant for painting and murder, becomes the target of Ruger's intense pursuit.
While Danning effectively portrays a jaded operative within the film's modest budget, Wings Hauser truly elevates the movie as the delightfully unhinged Cavanaugh. His performance provides a captivating contrast to Danning's stoic portrayal.
The film, made on a $2.2 million budget, features classic action sequences, including a memorable warehouse showdown, reminiscent of '80s action cinema. "L.A. Bounty" is currently available for streaming on Tubi.
