Return Fire: Jungle Wolf II

Steve Parrish returns home to the San Francisco area after his many travails fighting in Central America and all he wants to do is see his young son Zak. However, gang boss Petroli has it out for Parrish and he sends all the baldest, fattest, oldest goons after Parrish to exterminate him. But Parrish is one...clever...man. Somehow they manage to kidnap Zak, so Parrish teams up with his love interest Teri to fight the baddies and save Zak. Also, corrupt government agent Carruthers has his own stake in both the fates of Petroli and Parrish.

Directed by Neil Callaghan, Return Fire: Jungle Wolf II leans on a strong ensemble — Ronald L. Marchini, Adam West, Lynn O'Brien — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1988.
