Major James Ashe/Extreme Payback Series

From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe

Jump to: navigation, search

"Extreme Payback" and "Extreme Payback 2: With Interest" are the first two installments in a planned trilogy of action/adventure movies starring Major James Ashe as Marcus Jones, an ex-green beret whose attempts at finding a quiet civilian life are repeatedly interrupted by crime, leading him on the quest for justice. Pre-production of the planned third installment ("Extreme Payback 3: Paid in Full") was halted due to the Rikti invasion and has yet to resume, due to the Major's focus on his crime-fighting activities.

Plot Synopses

"Extreme Payback" (1995)

Excerpted from the studio's press flyers:

... when his loving bride-to-be is gunned down in City Park, Jones sets out to do what the police can't: take down the rival gangs that are terrorizing the city. Bullets will fly, heads will roll, and almost everything that can explode will explode as he works his way up to the final showdown with not one, but two self-styled urban warlords! Marcus Jones won't let anything or anyone stop him from getting payback ... Extreme Payback!

"Extreme Payback 2: With Interest" (1997)

From the Paragon City Times review (2 1/2 stars):

This time around, hero Marcus Jones (James "Rhino" Ashe) takes on a drug kingpin after Jones's 12 year old neighbor accidentally overdoses. It's more of everything that made you love (or loathe) the first "Extreme Payback" -- bigger explosions, more brutal beatdowns, and cornier one-liners, all delivered with Ashe's trademark scowl. And just in case that weren't enough to get the movie's target audience into theaters, Jones is joined on his exploits by maverick cop Maria Lopez (former pin-up model Alana Morales), a loose cannon in really, really tight jeans.
