Warning: Spoilers
In the opening scene men jump out of garbage cans and shoot at writer-director-star George Pan-Andreas. His name is Zeus and he is the hero and a cop. Two corrupt cops try to shoot him so he kills them. He is fired from the LAPD. The President goes on TV and explains he's committed to fighting a war on crime. Two criminals take offense at this and decide to get revenge. They kill the President's ex-wife and daughter, who are living in an apartment in L.A. The CIA shows up and forces Zeus to take his job back so he can work for the CIA. That part's a little unclear. He takes the job because he's the crime killer. He kills crime. He dresses up as a gardener and gets beaten by a man who says he hates gardeners. He recruits two friends who were also POWs in Vietnam and they go into the woods behind a factory and train to kill people. They have tinted Nam flashbacks. They bust into a warehouse and kill most of the bad guys. Zeus comes face to face with the main bad guy, a femme fatale and a ninja. He kills them. Then the President stops by his house. He makes the President laugh. He steals the President's watch. The President comes back to get it and sets off a bomb on Zeus's front lawn for fun. The President has a funny laugh. This is not a movie. It is shadows on a wall.
