HURRICANE SMITH

Billy "Hurricane" Smith (Carl Weathers) is a construction worker in Marshall, Texas. Mourning his mother's death, Billy goes to Australia to find his missing sister. His search leads him to a pimp, Shanks (David Argue), and one of his hookers, Julie (Cassandra Delaney), who both knew Billy's sister.

Billy is tortured by his sister's former employer, crime boss Charlie Dowd (Jurgen Prochnow), who's secretly waging a turf war against his partner Howard Fenton (Tony Bonner), and Billy is not about to leave town without finding his sister—and then Billy discovers that his sister was murdered by Charlie.

Not only does Shanks endure a savage beating to help Billy, but Shanks is also killed when they storm Charlie's mansion in search of the now-kidnapped Julie.

Ever busy Charlie has already blown up Howard in an explosion which almost killed Billy, and has murdered his own girlfriend just to eliminate loose ends. With the SWAT team called in, Charlie uses Julie as a shield after his men are wiped out.

Charlie commandeers a chopper. Climbing onto the bottom of the chopper, which flies over a part of the ocean, Billy throws Charlie into the water below, where Charlie is killed by a swarm of sharks—the same way Charlie killed Billy's sister.

Billy is now free to make plans to bring Julie stateside, where they won't run into any of her former customers.

Billy kills Charlie by throwing him into the ocean where he is eaten by sharks, avenging his sister’s murder. Billy makes plans to bring Julie back to the United States.

The film’s ending delivers poetic justice by having Charlie killed in the same manner he used on Billy's sister, reinforcing the film's cyclical violence and retribution themes. Billy's escape with Julie provides closure to his quest, restoring some measure of family in the aftermath of loss and brutality.
