HAWK JONES 1986
Dir. Richard Lowry
Cast: Valiant Duhart
"The most bizarre things to come out of the 1980s VHS era" - Obscuro Films
Hey, why not just make a film noir about a woman-hating private dick, and have 8-year-olds play all the parts? The result was Hawk Jones, and I dont know why they dont make more movies like this anymore. - FilmDrunk.com
It's brilliant. - strangekidsclub.com
He's tough, he's a armed and he's six years old going on seven.
He's Hawk Jones, the city's most bad-ass cop, and he's got a ton of criminal butt to kick before he goes to bed at eight.
An 80's action film about drugs, loose women, and a killer cyborg assassin in which every actor happens to be under ten years old. HAWK JONES is a genuine genre effort without an adult in sight, so the cast is allowed to drive cars, fight and swear up a storm in this jaw dropping straight faced bullet riddled romp. Sure, the kids kung-fu skills might be a little sloppy, but they're acting is so hilariously earnest that it's impossible not to have your pants charmed off. It must have been difficult to get two sugar addled eight year olds to have a sword fight in a mansion, but first time director Rob Lowry pulled it off, and you'd be an adult fool to miss out the chance to experience it on the big screen!
