Hawkeye's partner is killed when a Las Vegas drug investigation goes bad. He is then teamed with Charles, a smooth talking officer who clashes with his Texas cowboy ways. Together they hit the dingier backstreets of the city to find the murderers, even if they have to bend the rules.
George Chung was among the big names of the 80s karate circuit, so it's no real surprise that he ended up making movies. The fact that his name is unknown to most contemporaries is due to the shortness of this second career and the questionable quality of the features he starred in. With that said, HAWKEYE (a.k.a. KARATE COPS) might be the best of Chung's three vehicles, and it's definitely of interest to B-movie aficionados. Though not nearly action-packed enough to make it an ironic masterpiece like "No Retreat, No Surrender", the feature boasts plenty of goofy fun and isn't half bad for forgiving viewers.

The story: Two detectives – played by Chung and Chuck Jeffreys – investigate the murder of a policeman, and in the process uncover a treacherous underworld alliance.

Chung directed this movie himself, and his particular directorial style is either the best or worst thing the film has going for it. Working within the confines of a limited budget, George plays fast and loose with a fairly straightforward storyline and indulges every spur-of-the-moment idea that comes into his head during filming. There are many, many instances wherein dialogue seems to have been ad-libbed and the performers just did what felt natural or seemed funny. They don't exactly do so gracefully, and combined with frequent bad acting and amateurish editing, it's easy to look at this movie as a misadventure. However, I find joy in the creative enlivening of what might otherwise have been a very boring movie, and I applaud any instance wherein a filmmaker's gusto is as clearly visible on the screen as it is here. The always-entertaining Chuck Jeffreys helps a lot, and his relationship with Chung's character (later remodeled in SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO) can be very fun.

Martial arts are prevalent throughout the picture, giving Chung and Jeffreys enough opportunities to show off their kicks, but there are very few substantial fights. This, more than anything, negatively affects my rating. There are only three brawls which last at least ten seconds, and among these, only two of them – George's randori and the karate school fight – are actually good. (SPOILER) Grandmaster Hidy Ochiai plays one of the two lead mafia bosses, and disappointingly, there's no showdown with him taking on the heroes. There's some gunfighting and a car chase, but overall, I'm dissatisfied with the action content. The tone of the picture gives us the impression that the next action scene is just around the corner, but even when this is the case, it more often than not is over within a moment.

Nevertheless, there's a zaniness here that makes up for a lot of missed adrenaline. So many times, a character will do something or say something so inconsistent with our expectations of reality that it makes you take renewed notice – like when Chung's character threatens to kill a schoolchild and the teacher responds by hitting on him. It's very easy for unprepared viewers to walk away from this film with a negative experience – even I didn't care for the chauvinistic, homophobic detours the screenplay makes – but for the right audience, this film would have been worth owning a VCR for. Cop On the Edge Alexander "Hawkeye", "Hawk" Hawkamoto (Chung) is a man so awesome, even his nickname has a nickname. Formerly a Texas cop, he resettles in Las Vegas where he's out to settle the score with the mob, led by gangster boss Tony (Wertlieb). After being assigned a new partner, an equally brash detective named Charles Wilson (Jeffreys), the two tear up the town like nobody's business. Forget MASH, here's the real Hawkeye!

We absolutely loved Hawkeye. This type of movie is right up our alley - it's fun, funny, ridiculous, and wildly enjoyable. The supposed "amateurish" nature of the movie is far from a negative, it actually endeared us to it even more. Just the level of (non) acting from everyone except the leads is enough to provide more entertainment value than you'll find in many other movies. Starting from the great intro, Hawkeye never runs out of steam and is highly watchable the entire time.

It wouldn't be an 80's cop movie without sax on the soundtrack, acid washed jeans and radical sunglasses. Chuck Jeffreys puts in one of his best performances as the energetic new partner. The movie is also filled with un-PC humor that you never see today. While there seems to be some controversy over who actually directed the movie, Leo Fong or George Chung, it definitely has that Fong-y style we recognize from his past projects. But someone really should look into possible misspellings in the credits ("Kieth"? "Micheal"? "Stien"?) As for George Chung, he's at his best during "Junior Cadet Day" at the academy, where a bunch of kids come to learn about police work. Apparently it mainly consists of threats. It's also completely ignored that Chung/Hawkamoto is even Asian, as other characters call him "Cowboy", he hates Sushi, and doesn't know what a Dojo is. Throw in some random narration, and there you have it.

As if that wasn't enough, Troy Donahue is (barely) involved, and his use of pauses in his speech makes William Shatner look like John Moschitta. Lest we forget "All-Pro Football Star Ronnie Lott" (if seeing that on a box while perusing a video store doesn't make you want to rent the film, what will?). A unnecessarily shirtless guy who looks like Jerry Trimble, among a row of meatheads completes the picture.

The tape seems like a homemade production, having been released by Valley Studios of Sunnyvale, CA, and the copyright is 1988 Action America Entertainment. Did they ever release anything else? Hopefully. If you have a sense of fun and/or humor, you will totally love this gem. Hawkeye is a bona fide winner.
