I was laughing the whole time
Added 4/9/2009
I'll try not to waste too much time writing this review as I did watching this movie, but if you expect to be scared watching it, you won't be. It's much too silly mostly because of Chuck's street-savvy sidekick who is the complete opposite to him: he can't fight anyone or thing without his gun.
And the demon was way over the top, esp. with his weird eyes. The only thing I can remember him by are his long nails, which look like goat hooves and are rather nasty.
But if you want to see Chuck Norris kick some a**, although it doesn't work too well with a demon who never shows injury, then watch it.

How can evil be defeated? Simple, put it in a room with Chuck Norris.

Hellbound: Seriously, was this a 95 minute hallucination or one of the greatest B horror movies ever? Sid could go on forever about all the things that made this movie perfect in every way, but we will try to keep it reasonable. We decided on this one after watching what Chuck could do to a foe in a horror movie in the classic Silent Rage. In our review of that one, we begged Chuck to do a sequel. Little did we know that we didn't need one, as Hellbound more than made up for the absence of Silent Rage 2: Ramon's Revenge.
The film starts in the Middle Ages with some Crusaders burying the demon in a stone casket and locking it with daggers. The demon is played by the same actor as the bad guy in "The Final Sacrifice," or "Rowsdower!" as it was titled in its North Pole release. Anyway, flash forward to 1951 and two homeless men somehow find the tomb. Instead of leaving it alone, they pull the daggers out so they can sell the stones on the handles. Even as it was happening, you knew it was a bad move. Of course, the demon pops out of the tomb like he was Sid jumping out of a stocking and goes nuts. Flash forward again to "Chicago Present Day" where Chuck is a hardass cop. This is especially illustrated when a street tough mouths off to Chuck and Norris naturally punches the guy 10 feet into the air onto a parked car. O yeah, the street tough was the one, the only Iceman! That's right, THE Iceman. As in "The Iceman has melted. Two more and I'm coming for you, Vachs." From Death Ring. The reaction by Sid was one of hillarity, excitment and sheer amazement all rolled into one.
Now, this movie was released in 1993. For two reasons Sid really hopes it was shot shortly before its release and not shelved for a few years first. Number one, there's a good chance that Norris shot this classic on hiatus from Walker Texas Ranger. Also, if it was shot in that 1992-93 period Chuck and Billy Ray Cyrus were the only people not living in a trailer park with mullets like that. Maybe Chuck tapped into his inner Segal and grew the back out for strength. Who knows? Now the demon is killing holy men in Isreal. So, of course they send Chuck and his partner Vanilli. I know you're asking yourself "Why would they send a Chicago cop to Isreal to investigate a killer?" The answer is that the power of Chuck in a Sonny Crockett costume and with the mullet flowing can beat anyone or anything as we would soon find out.
At the end of the flick, Chuck is trying to rescue his love interest, played by Arnold's love interest in Kindergarten Cop, from the demon. So, it's Chuck Norris vs. a roomful of demons. No contest, Chuck wins. He always wins. We've now seen him take down terrorists, several Vietnimeese POW camps, and pure unadulterated evil. This man is totally insane. When Chuck is taking on the boss demon, he unleashed quite possibly the most killer move in film history. That's right, the slow-motion, double right legged kick. Words cannot do it justice. It was breathtaking. Another aspect of this movie that brought it into the pantheon of B was that it shattered two previously long standing records. One for times Sid asked "What the hell is going on here?" and one for times Sid asked "What is this, are they serious?" Two absolute must questions for a classic B to evoke from its viewers, as you already know.
Now, Sid always goes the extra mile for his loyal fans, so we did some research and found out that Hellbound was once upon a time shown on Joe Bob's Drive-In theatre. It was even nominated for a Hubbie. Sounds strangely similar to a Sid the Elf Woody award. Hmmm. In honor of that, here are Sid the Elf's drive-in totals:
1 heart being ripped out
1 impaling
1 hooker being thrown from a window onto a cop car
2 breasts
1 attempted baby sacrifice
1 30 minute streach of film that nobody understood...
and 5682 punches/kicks landed by Mighty U.S. Warlord Premier Norris

Good Cop Vs. Bad Cop
Added 5/22/2006
When I saw the title, read the product description and the other high-rated reviews for this movie, we ordered it. The story is all right and the plot, maybe not as strong as other movies. I liked the feeling of terror and Chuck Norris comes around to save us and still be cool, calm and collective. The funniest part is where this boy swaps sidekick Johnson's (Calvin Levels) wallet and Shatter (Chuck Norris) has to help him find it and then later gives him his money back. HaHa! The best part though has to be the final fight at the end when Shatter finally destroys the demon by throwing the object of power into him.
SEVERAL COMMENTS ON A "CERTIAN REVIEW" WHICH CAME FROM Letchworth, England on March 20,2006 called Two Cops Vs. A Demon from Hell.
This is a police/horror mix to this movie BUT to say there is NO swearing?!
To EVERBODY out there who reads this, the "F" word was used several times along with repeated uses of other profanities throughout the movie. If somebody doesn't call that swearing, then tell me what is!!! Or you could say, If somebody called it swearing, then SUSAN PARR could tell you what its not?!
There also no close caption either so TV Guardian won't work.
For those of you who get R movies rated just for violence which is just what it was rated for, LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!
And There is NO Gore Either?! Somebody next to Ms. Parr better `knudge' her because she has fallen asleep AGAIN!!!
The scene where the rabbi is murdered in the apartment his Heart is RIPPED OUT and later tossed on the floor in front of Shatter (Chuck Norris) who briefly encounters the demon after a prostitute is thrown from a window onto the cops car. And the subsequent murders are very bloody or Gory.
So Bottom Line, There is too swearing and there is a scene or two of gore. Those are the TRUE facts. To say there isn't would be dishonest. On the other hand, if you don't mind any of that you should probably rent the movie first because it's only good to see ONCE(in my opinion).

Totally bad, totally fun.
Added 3/23/2006
Let's be honest, Chuck Norris movies are bad. Pretty much all of them are bad enough to be good.
"Behind Chuck Norris' beard, there is no chin... there is only another fist"
You know, its just like watching all the Schwartzeneger movies, just for the one-liners.
I think Chuck Norris is pretty much the poster boy (better say poster "destroyer" instead of "boy" just in case he finds out i wrote this writeup and comes and kicks my ass) for the tough-guy cop.
You gotta see in the beginning of this movie, when Chuck challenges one of this pimp's sidekicks to hit him in the face, so he can show no emotion or pain as a result - "you call that a hit?". He then punches the guy back so he fly's over the hood of the car. Hilarious.
Well, you know exactly what you're in for when you go watch a Chuck Norris movie. Pretty much an hour and a half of that. Its totally fun.
I think Chuck should make an appearance in the next Starsky & Hutch-stlye comedy film. It would be great.
The plot is the following: An evil spawn of the devil named Prosatanos, is unleashed onto the earth. Chuck and his sidekick cop are out to find and destroy him, while overcoming all the human obstacles in the way. Actually the plot gets a little more complicated than that, involving the crown of some scepter, and royal blood.
But in the year 2006, you're not watching Chuck Norris movies for depth, but pure comedy instead.
Had it not been for his seriousness, the movies wouldn't be near as fun a decade or so down the line.
Ayways, pure comedy is what you'll get. The movie is brilliant.
Buy it. Rent it. Whatever. You gotta see it.

TWO COPS VS A DEMON FROM HELL
Added 3/20/2006
This play out like or same old cops films you see before, but with a twist. The bad guy is not the same as you see in other cops film. The bad guy is a high rank demon from hell with help from other low ranking demons from hell. The high ranking demon and the low ranking demons is trying to bring fore hell on earth by killing a person with royal blood and the good guy is trying to stop the high ranking demon and the low ranking demon from bring fore hell on earth.
If you like cops film and horror films, this film is mostly a cop film with a little bit of horror mix in if you like that sort of thing. If you do, this film is a ok run ride.
This film has got no swearing and no sex and no nudity and no gore which I am very please to say.
From a chirstian point a view you can teach a non chirstian about demons from hell and tell them this film is base on fact and fiction, but you must tell the non christian the real facts on demons first before you and your non christian see this film. This film will help you as a chirstian to teach the non chirstians about demons and they evil power and bring them closer to Jesus our lord.
For the glory of God.
PS I dont why this film is so over price, you buy the film much cheaper DVD and VHS on this site.
