 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Revenge drama/action/comedy starring Danny Trejo, Ron Perlman and Charles S. Dutton very loosely based on Epic Beard Man, but expands greatly on this subject matter into areas Tom Bruso wouldn't even dream of.Frank Vega (Trejo) is a Vietnam vet living in Los Angeles who finds himself on a bus one day when a couple of skinheads jump on and start harassing a senior citizen. Frank's protection of the man with his impressive moves earns him the respect of the media and city; he just wants to be left alone and go on with his quiet life, but...Seems his old war buddy Klondike has something he shouldn't, which results in tragedy... Cue Vega going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge throughout L.A.

 Ascended Meme: The whole point of the movie, right down to Panther saying at the end after Vega beats him up: "Somebody... send amberlamps!".

 Advertised Extra: Ron Perlman as the mayor only features in a couple very short scenes. One wonders why you would cast a known B-movie actor like Ron Perlman as a corrupt politician who is barely in the film and who never once encounters the Danny Trejo.

 Bond One-Liner: Not after someone has died, but after the Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique below: "Got a message from your wife. She told you to go fuck yourself! Hope you're right-handed."

 Beware the Nice Ones: Frank is incredibly nice and helpful to just about everyone, and he even gives people who want to fight him at least one chance to back down before the inevitable Curb-Stomp Battle ensues.
