In yet another slick, formulaic Charles Bronson vengeance film (they would continue until the actor was in his mid-70s, still playing the morally insulted friend/husband/lover), Bronson is Holland, an assassin for hire who has just come out of retirement to finish off a Guatemalan thug by the name of Moloch (Joseph Maher). Moloch tortures and terrorizes the good guys and is protected by a misguided American government agency -- though nothing can stop Holland once he starts killing his way to the chief villain. No one except the wife of one of Moloch's victims -- and perhaps a few viewers now and again -- raises any questions about Holland's trail of corpses. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

One of the more offensive, poorly scripted "comedies" to come out of Mexico in any era, the "hot Mexicans" of the title are sexually fixated men who either rape women, commit incest, practice adultery, or otherwise engage in supposedly comic expressions of their sexual urges. Roberto (Alfonso Zayas) is such an "accomplished" rapist that no victim presses charges against him and he symbolizes the ultimate goal for the rest of the men he knows. Next time, director and co-scripter (Gilberto Martinez-Solares) should aim a little higher, which should not be difficult at all. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr plays a prehistoric, social outcast who, along with other misfits, forms his own tribe and finds various comic adventures. This spoof is mostly without dialogue besides the expected neanthropic grunt. ~ Kristie Hassen, All Movie Guide
