Steele Justice is a 1987 American action film written and directed by Robert Boris and starring Martin Kove, Sela Ward, and Bernie Casey.

When his best friend Lee, who also served with him in Vietnam and who also became a cop, was killed by some drug dealers he was investigating, Steele was able to save his daughter and saw one of the shooters.

Janet Maslin of The New York Times had disdain for the film: Steele Justice isn't designed as a comedy, but it does earn high marks for inadvertent humor... Mr. Kove wears a Band-Aid across the bridge of his nose during much of the film, and it is by far the most expressive thing on his face.Maslin also commented, "Steel Justice isn't designed as a comedy, but it does earn high marks for inadvertent humor.

This is thanks in part to the writer and director, Robert Boris, whose Oxford Blues was no laughing matter but who this time has tried to meld Rambo with Miami Vice, throwing in a touch of the Chippendales' calendar.

"[2] Leonard Maltin called the film a ’Howlingly absurd action-revenge yarn’[3] while TV Guide wrote, ’Unintentionally hilarious "Rambo"-inspired action picture featuring the muscle-bound Martin Kove as John Steele, a Vietnam vet having trouble adjusting to postwar life in southern California.’[4]
