After Bad Ass and Bad Asses Frank Vega (Danny Trejo) and Bernie Pope (Danny Glover) are back in already the third movie in this franchise.
If you don’t know these films: the original movie was based on a Youtube video in which an old men beat up two other guys on a bus. The man, with his fanny pack and beard became known as “Epic Beard Man” and that event was recreated in Bad Ass. The rest of the story (just like the second movie) can be best summarised as taking revenge. The second movie introduced Bernie, who was sick and only had a short time to live. In this third movie the team is on a new mission.
The two of them travel to Louisiana to attend the wedding of their friend Carmen (Loni Love). Once they are there she is kidnapped and it’s up to Frank and Bernie to find her, together with her father Earl (John Amos). The local authorities are very corrupt and do everything in their power to stop them.
If you are a fan of the first two movies then this third instalment won’t disappoint either. It’s got the same humour, the same action and two leads who have fun with their roles. Of course story isn’t the best part of the movie, but as the film is so entertaining I can forgive that. Yes, this is definitely a B-movie, but a very enjoyable one. I actually wouldn’t mind a fourth movie.
