The Gauntlet: Difference between revisions

Ben Shockley (Eastwood) is a Phoenix cop whose dream of hitting "the big case" has been ruined by a few too many glasses of Jack Daniels. Which, of course, means that he's the one being chosen to escort a prostitute named Augustina "Gus" Mally across state lines to a "nothing" trial at which she is to testify. However, Mally is convinced that Shockley was only sent so they could get rid of him, and, after a few incidents involving a racehorse bet and the destruction of Mally's own house (with them in it), Shockley learns that Mally not only has mob ties, but also has incriminating evidence against a high figure in Phoenix society. And this figure has employed Shockley's own boss, the corrupt commissioner Blakelock, to ensure that neither of them return to Phoenix.

 

* [[Action Survivor]]

* [[All Bikers Are Hells Angels]]

* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Punctured wonderfully. Shockley's a disposable alcoholic who is sent out only so the people involved can get rid of him.

* [[Hellish Copter]]: The mob guys' chopper flies into some powerlines.

* [[More Dakka]]: Three times! First a mob of cops mows down a house. Then later, the Mooks fill a cop car with more lead than a Chinese toy factory. The final time, Eastwood drives a bus to city hall with heavy iron plates over the driver seat while the entire Phoenix police department gets trigger happy.

* [[Show Some Leg]]: [[The Chick]] opens up her shirt to distract bikers from beating up Clint Eastwood. Accompanied by [[I Shall Taunt You]] to make them look.
