Shotgun is very much a rip off of Lethal Weapon, combined with the other 80's action flicks of the time. You pair a white and black cop, make them tough badboys that don't follow the rules, and then have them go against the other officers but bottom line, They Get Results.
Eventually, white cop Jones's sister gets killed by a "beater," a guy who's been hiring local prostitutes pretty much with the idea that he wants to beat the shit out of them. Jones gets in trouble when he beats up a undercover cop, and gets suspended. Now he has none of those pesky police rules holding him back, but also no backup if things don't go his way....
It's meh. The acting is okay. The budget is extremely minimal. Visible boom mic, pretty scant in terms of looks, but the nudity, the action, the pacing is all fine. It's a very short and easy flick. Probably decent if you're putting something on "in the background." It does have ridiculous music including it's own song "Shotgun Jones" which is pretty tremendous.
I would give it a decent 2 stars. It's nothing you'll ever think about again. Probably, without any research being done, the type of thing where SOMEONE involved did either porn or something related to porn. I'm gonna guess that, legit, and not research. So here's the 2 stars for that...
