Close But No Seagal

I don't know what happened to David Heavener but I hope he stopped making his own films! He was a terrible actor and he made his own direct to video movies (like TWISTED JUSTICE) for many years. FUGITIVE X from 1995 was the last one of his do it all (wrong) productions I 've seen or heard of. If you get bored watching this dog you can amuse yourself counting how many times Heavener's name appears in the credits. 

Not only is he the star/producer/writer/director, but he also wrote the music score (he must be tone deaf...).

But Orson Welles he ain't. And being a pony tailed tough guy doesn't even make him Steven Seagal. Hell, he's not even Leo Fong!

Here he plays an ex-cop (I'm sure the police force wouldn't have it any other way...) being hunted by bad guy Richard Norton (the Australian martial artist who's been in lots of video action stuff). Ex-skater Lynn Holly Johnson plays his wife. Familiar TV actor William Windom (who had a small part in Clint Eastwood's TRUE CRIME the next year) plays his uncle. The very unusual looking Robert D'Zar (he has an unusual name to match) plays a guy with a bad haircut who gets shot.

Heavener's greasy haired character takes some kind of drug that turns him into a one man descruction crew. Kind of like Chow Yun-Fat in a John Woo movie except he's not cool. Christopher (son of Robert) Mitchum hangs around too as well as the unfortunately named Clement Von Franckenstein who's name is much cooler than his acting.....

I hope David Heavener got into a line of work he's good at like building demolishing or something.....(running a Haagen Daz maybe????)

Thanks for reading!
