Eddie Lomax (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a drifter who has been in a suicidal funk since the death of his close friend Johnny (Danny Trejo). Riding his motorcycle into a small desert town where Johnny once lived, Lomax is confronted by a gang of toughs, who beat him and steal his bike. However, Lomax is not a man to take an injustice lying down, and soon he begins exacting a violent revenge on the men who stole his motorcycle, with local handyman Jubal Early (Pat Morita) lending a hand and several area ladies offering aid and comfort. Inferno (which was also released under the titles Desert Heat and Coyote Moon) was directed by John G. Avildsen, though Danny Mulroon is credited on some prints. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
You've seen it before, so why bother seeing Jean-Claude Van Damme go through the paces in this straight-to-tape howler?
-
Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
Oscar-winning director John Avildsen wisely removed his name in favor of a pseudonym on this forgettable direct-to-video Van Damme vehicle.
-
Ryan Cracknell, Apollo Guide
Doused by a mediocre plot and poor plot escapes.
