About this listen
Shane Moxie: A washed-up 80s action star who refuses to believe his best days are behind him.... Duke: A hyper-intelligent chimpanzee, and arguably the greatest animal actor of his generation.... Reunited for an anniversary movie screening, when Moxie and Duke are targeted by assassins, the feuding co-stars reluctantly join forces to smash an organized crime syndicate headed by an iconic German action star dealing death from his movie-themed fast food franchise....
One's a big dumb animal, the other's a chimpanzee: S**t just got real.
From Adam Howe, writer of Tijuana Donkey Showdown, and Die Dog or Eat the Hatchet, and the winner of Stephen King's On Writing contest, comes a "buddy" action/comedy in the tradition of Lethal Weapon, 48 Hrs, and Tango & Cash. Buckle up for the Ready Player One of '80s/'90s action movies. One Tough Bastard will turn you into a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus...just like its author.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Jason Hill!
I came here solely for Jason Hill. He is a superb narrative. I was so happy to find this audio book since he left the YouTube channel CTFDN( which I highly advise you check out if you liked how he narrated this story). The story itself was also fantastic! It had a irreverent, sarcastic tone throughout that is perfectly suited to Jason's talents.

A 80’s Action Film Love Story
ONE TOUGH BASTARD by Adam Howe is not only an excellent comedic action story but a full on love letter to the classic 80’s action films that everybody loves. The Moxe is an action hero who deserves to mentioned right along with all the 80’s greats.

Fun Listen
While explaining a first date experience at a drive in theatre involving hands and um…. private parts, Shane Moxie states “ I covered the windshield like a house painters radio”. I’m using that line. This book had a lot of great hilarious moments. Laugh out loud moments. I’m going to listen to more of what the author has written. Surprised this book has so few reviews. This isn’t a mystery novel who did it masterpiece and I dont think the author ever meant it to be. So just enjoy the ride and dont pay too much attention to the small details.

Triumphant!
This was a riot! Besides being a teriffic story with great characters, I laughed out loud a bunch, which is pretty rare for me during an audiobook. Shane Moxie is just the kind of eccentric, egomaniacal character I love to root for. It's also peppered with tons of '80s and' 90s pop culture references, which is a ton of fun. I've enjoyed all of Howe's work, and this one's my new favorite!
I love Jason Hill's work as well, and he really nailed this one! Top-notch narration. Excellent all around! Highly recommended!

So happy I found this
I’m glad I followed Jason Hill after he left the Simply Scary podcast network. His narration is superb! The writing helps, too.
This is a love letter to 80s/90s movies, more specifically action movies. The insane premise played out wonderfully.

Absolutely brilliant!
Move over 48 hours, Tango & Cash, and any other crazy team up movie you can think of and make way for Shane and Duke. As the tagline line says: one's a big dumb animal. The other is a chimpanzee. Adam Howe has crafted one of the funniest books I've read in a long time, and if you are a fan of action comedies you need to read/listen to this one now. Years ago Shane Moxie and Duke made a hit movie together. These days Shane Moxie is a washed up movie star with delusions of grandeur while Duke, a super smart chimp, took Hollywood by storm. Now due to forces beyond their control, the two are thrust back together on an adventure can only be described as EPIC. Howe does a wonderful job weaving together over the top action with a serious amount of laugh out loud humor. Through certain action sequence and dialogue choices he also does a phenomenal job of giving little winks and nods to dozens upon dozen of classic action movies from the 80s and 90s. As for the audio, Jason Hill's narration is masterful. This is without question a book I'll be listening to over and and over. My only issue...now I want it made into a movie!
