Traxx (1988): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1988, Traxx is an action and comedy film directed by Jerome Gary, running about 84 minutes. “This man has just blown away six terrorists, dynamited a drug smuggling compound, and baked a dozen cookies.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Traxx has battled his way through El Salvador, the Middle East and Nicaragua, spitting lead with two-handed good grace. He decides to retire to a life of baking designer cookies. Running out of dough to buy more dough, he hires himself as a "Town Tamer" and begins cleaning up Hadleyville, Texas, telling the lowlife street scum, "You got three choices. Be good, be gone, or be dead." Like all bacteria, the scum are resistant: crime boss Aldo Palucci (Robert Davi) brings in the dreaded Guzik brothers to rid the town of the town tamer, setting the stage for a showdown in the streets.
