Another Vietnam Vet gets screwed and we have an instant plot for an us against the world scenario in the melon fields of California. There is a bit of melloncholy behavior from Bronson, as he gets his children shot up by a hitman. The melloncide that takes place is brutal and will turn the stomachs of anyone who loves watermelon. There are no actors in the film, but none are really needed. Everyone knows what's going to happen in the predictable plot, anyway. Oh, the horror, though, of the lost melons. Majestyk is a former melon, I mean felon, who was convicted of using a shotgun violently. He is now a watermelon farmer. He is also a Vietnam Veteran, which, of course, means he is crazy and good with guns. Unfortunately, from staying in the sun too long, Majestyk developed a mellonoma which you can see on his skin. However, this does not stop him from using his shotgun to blow a hole the size of a watermelon in a few of the bad guys. The moral of this film is not to count your melons before they get to market. And this film was not sponsored by the Mellon Foundation. There; I won a bet with my friend, Doug that I could mention melons ten times in the review without being boring.
