x37 MCQ (11/29/97)

MOVIE
If you loved John "Duke Morrison" Wayne in "Riders of Destiny," "Blue Steel," "Westward Ho," or "Big Jim McLain" then you'll love this filth. Duke Pukem manages to play Lon "Crappy Name For An Action Star" McQ - the "good" "cop" who's living on a house boat. His friend ends up dead with a bullet in the head, which means it's time for McQ to open up a high grade can of whoop ass on someone. Unfortunately, McQ is way past his prime, so he just manages to bumble around. "Big Load" McQ manages to get it on with his senior citizen crack whore lover and get "information" from a wanna-be Huggy Bear. Oh, and he discovers some "bad" "cops" are dealing in confiscated drugs. As far as we're concerned, the Duke laid a big dookie with this movie.
