Stone Cold (1991)

Classic 90s macho action with a salon-ready leading man (Brian Bosworth), who looks like he'd bleed adrenaline (and a hint of steroid) if he was to cut himself with a razor at home. He's Joe Huff, an Alabama Cop on suspension for aggressive behaviour, enlisted by the FBI to go undercover in a deadly biker gang that's headed by a laughing Lance Henriksen. But first the gang must accept Joe (aka Stone) as one of their own, so he has to get extra moody.
It's the kind of movie in which shotguns blow people through windows and stunt guys fall impressively from great heights. It uses action clichés to its advantage, somehow, allowing Stone to "turn it on" when needed.
