100% Testosterone-driven exploitation
THIS is a totally awesome, adrenalin rushing, down and dirty in-your-face 80’s Italian exploitation effort, but of course you have to be cautious who you may recommend it to! If you’re, for example, attending a convention for people with an enormous IQ and you got a couple of hours to kill, you probably shouldn’t suggest watching “Fists of Steel” because the script’s intellectual value is rather questionable. Or in case you’re a guest at a feminist gathering, I wouldn’t advise mentioning “Fists of Steel” neither, as the film is literally stuffed with macho characters and typically male showdowns. In fact, to put it rather bluntly, “Fists of Steel” is a movie for guys, and preferably guys that like their heroes invincible, their women docile, their action & violence graphic & plentiful and their dialogs and story lines rudimentary. I’m not implying you have to be a retard in order to enjoy this film (otherwise, I’d be one myself) but it’s merely a relaxing and undemanding film to watch after a hard day’s work or together with a group of friends where there’s loads of beer and pizza.

“Fists of Steel” is basically an attempt to cash in on the huge success of James Cameron’s “The Terminator”, but without the rather complex time-traveling structure and advanced character developments. In futuristic America, where acid rain hurtles down daily and breathing poisonous air may kill you, beefcake Cyborg Paco Querak is programmed to terminate a blind & crippled environmentalist whose movement is seriously annoying big-shot industrialist John Saxon. However, Paco’s conscience prevents him from finishing the job and he flees into the Arizonan desert. He entrenches himself in a cheap & sleazy motel where he falls in love with the friendly owner, arm-wrestles against aggressive truckers and patiently awaits the army of hired killers to come after him. There isn’t a single moment of dullness in this movie and I was actually sad when it finished. The arm wrestling contests are incredibly entertaining to behold (muscles all over the screen), the car/truck/helicopter chases are extremely exciting and the fistfights are so harsh you can almost feel them. Daniel Greene is more than adequate in his heroic Cyborg-role but the supportive cast is even better with the almighty John Saxon as the über-bad guy, George Eastman as the jealous lead-trucker and Claudio Cassinelli (who sadly died during shooting) as one of the relentless hit men. Cassinelli’s untimely death clearly caused a scripting problem, as his character is killed off screen. As always, Sergio Martino’s direction is fast-paced and competent but nothing more than that. He was one of Italy’s busiest and most versatile directors during the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, so don’t expect too much typical trademarks or personalized styles as he just wanted to finish the job quick and proper. Claudio Simonetti, the multi-talented brain behind cult band Goblin, was in charge of the music and that’s another reason for avid fans of Italian exploitation film to track this puppy down. Great testosterone-driven entertainment, love it or hate it!

A Total Must-See for Fans of Bad Movies
Oh, man. If you haven’t seen HANDS OF STEEL, you are doing yourself a great disservice. This movie is amazing. You’ll laugh. You’ll scratch your head in confusion. You’ll laugh some more. It’s a science fiction/action film from director Sergio Martino, released in 1986. I’m assuming it was straight-to-video but I would totally pay to watch it on a big screen with an audience. This movie starts off nuts and only gets crazier from there. Our hero in this near future is Paco Queruak (Daniel Greene), a cybernetic assassin with a heart of gold. We meet him at the start of the film as he’s about to complete an assignment; he’s been ordered to murder an old, blind politician/environmentalist. Paco appears to complete his mission and goes on the run. Why go rogue? Because he had a change of heart and left the old man alive, and now Paco is the target of both the authorities and the organization who hired him. He leaves town, braving the acid rain (because it’s the future and the environment, while appearing absolutely normal at a glance, has fallen on hard times) to hide out in the Arizona desert. He finds shelter with innkeeper Linda (Janet Agren) at her little highway outpost, a quiet place with the exception of the constant prostitute traffic and nightly truck driver arm-wrestling competitions. Paco seems hopeful to start a new, nonviolent life in the desert, but if the organization he betrayed doesn’t get to him his new arm-wrestling nemesis Raul Morales (George Eastman) will.

HANDS OF STEEL has everything you could want: cyborgs, future stuff, strippers, violence, unintentional comedy, and loads of arm wrestling. Still not convinced you need to watch it? How about this: at one point, Paco karate chops the head off a snake. If you’re not the least bit curious yet, you’ve got less humanity than Paco’s forearms. Paco Queruak is an unsung hero of the action-packed ’80s. HANDS OF STEEL is a faded jewel buried beneath a decade of low-budget genre films just waiting to be discovered. What are Paco’s intentions? Who is this mysterious (and obviously well-funded) organization behind his enhancements and what did they have against the old, blind environmentalist? Why does Raul insist on tormenting a man who has proved he could twist him into a man-pretzel without breaking a sweat? Does anyone else think that one guy chasing Paco throughout the movie with the sunglasses looked like the butler from “The Nanny” with a beard? To the point of distraction? Prepare for none of these questions to be answered. They keep the premise simple. Paco was supposed to kill a man. He didn’t. He’s gone off the grid and the organization needs to kill him before the government gets ahold of him and realizes they’ve created a cybernetic assassin. Then Linda enters the picture and shows Paco friendship or love or something and gives him a reason to fight. Also arm wrestling. This movie has an obsession with arm wrestling.

You see, Linda’s inn has competitions between the local truck drivers every night where they compete for who has the strongest forearms. The reigning champion is a beast named Anatolo Blanco but that doesn’t stop Raul from running his mouth because he’s second-best. He’s loud, obnoxious, and a little too handsy with Linda for Paco’s tastes. So there’s some animosity between the two men right away and Raul, lacking the sense of self-preservation shared by everyone else in the bar, makes it his life mission to harass Paco. There is a fantastic sequence in the second half of the film where Raul organizes a trap that involves a bunch of locals, a car, a tape recorder, and feigned child endangerment to lure Paco out into the open. Dude, Raul is a drunken halfwit. Where did he find the competence to put this scheme together? Neither HANDS OF STEEL nor I know or care. You question every miraculous judgment call that leads to plot advancement and you’ll miss out on all the fun. And a lot of the fun is in the details. I love how this movie is set in a near distant future where it’s advanced nature manifests as a (single) futuristic car, a laser cannon, and a pair of cyborgs while literally everything else is so very ’80s. I love how the baddies have shotguns that double as rocket launchers; seriously, you just shove the mini- rocket into the end of the barrel and pull the trigger (future magic!). I loved the fight between Paco and Suzie, the even cooler cyborg assassin disguised as a prostitute. I love Daniel Greene’s wooden performance as Paco set against George Eastman’s manic Raul.

But what I love most of all is that HANDS OF STEEL, like many Z-grade action films I’ve watched, set itself up for a sequel. At the very end right before the end credits roll, we get a final title card that warns us the movie served as the start of the cyborg era. That’s right, Paco was only the first. And we’ll never know how it went down from there. But at least we have HANDS OF STEEL, the tale of Paco Queruak and his battle against that jerk at the truck stop in which he karate chops the head off a snake.
