Summary: Worst Schwarzenegger Movie I Know Of
Review: The plot is a typical for a Schwarzenegger flick,though not original at all, yet Schwarzenegger was not the actor this movie needed. Arnold's character is attempting to infiltrate a mafia syndicate. A friend's son was killed by these people and he wants revenge so he asks Arnold's character to help him seek revenge(he's to old to do it otherwise he would do it himself). Arnold's acting in this one is terrible. None of the other actors stood out so well either although I did recognize the guy from the show Profiler. Arnold has a couple one liners that gave me a laugh but seriously much of his acting just doesn't cut it at all. Him attempting to be a suave mafia dude is hard to watch.

The movie goes along way to slow and is very predictable. The action scenes are TERRIBLE. Commando looks realistic compared to Raw Deal's action scenes. At one point Arnold's character is driving around a construction yard in a car shooting people twenty to thirty feet above him while his car is going going up and down constantly--he's also steering with his other hand. He never misses, they never hit,a nd he's hold the guy like a toy. There isn't even some any good looking girls in the movie. I'm a big Schwarzenegger fan, unlike some of the other reviewers here, and have see all his movies. This one doesn't cut it at all. I would recommend you check out Red Heat or Commando for some non-Terminator Schwarzenegger action. Or maybe my favorite, Predator.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Vintage early Schwarzenegger
Review: The usual: A thousand Italians are shooting at Schwarzenegger with machine guns. Somehow, (as usual) they all manage to miss. Arnold then terminates them via a variety of classically Schwarzeneggerian methods. Fun, but not deep. But then again, that's what we want from Arnold.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How did this idiot become an actor
Review: This could be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Arnold truly shows his meathead mentality in this winner. I think that the neanderthal should go back to Austria. This guy is an all around loser. Schwarzneger couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Just looking at his big ugly face is painful. And when he talks it just becomes that much worse. Its sad that retards like this can make names for themselves in Hollywood. But to Arnold's credit he did come out with some good ones like ( Kindergarten Cop, Twins, Red Heat and Junior ). Arnold has been putting crap like this out his whole life. Why can't he just end what he started and fall off the planet.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: VERY UNDERRATED SCHWARZENEGGER
Review: THIS FILM CAME OUT ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS SLY STALLONE'S "COBRA". I LIKE "COBRA" @ 3 STARS BUT WITH ARNIE'S "RAW DEAL", I HAD MORE FUN. THIS WAS EARLY IN HIS CAREER. WHEN I FIRST SAW IT IN '86, I SAID TO MYSELF THIS IS ARNOLD'S BEST MOVIE EVER! WELL, I WAS 16 AND NOW I'M 30 AND ARNIE HAS DONE MUCH MUCH BETTER YEARS LATER("ERASER" IS HIS BEST MOVIE). STILL, I DIG "RAW DEAL" WITH ARNIE SHOOTING UP THE MOB WHILE THE MOB SHOOTS BACK ALWAYS MISSING TARGETS, WEARING SIZE 85 1/2 BUSINESS SUITS, + TRYING TO SAY WORDS LIKE "MOLESTED, MURDERED & MUTILATED". LUCKILY, I BOUGHT THE WIDESCREEN VHS WHICH STILL MAY BE AVAILABLE. IT'S STILL A FUN RIDE.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WHAT HAPPEND?
Review: This movie would be probably be 5 stars if it didn't have such bad animation but either way it's a good movie.Schwarzenegger should redo this movie with better animation and sound.If you are a Schwarzenegger fan,you should get it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Arnie Flick
Review: Well, the script needed a little help. In many places it was rather corny, but oh well. I don't think that most people view these types of films for the literary experience. The action at the end of the movie is worth the price of the video. A good final shoot-out. I always feel better after watching this scene. It's good for venting. Arnie takes them all out in a fierce gun battle. Rather excilerating.
