Ramblin' About Bad Movies....

Let's see there was this movie ALIEN TERMINATOR (1996). It's an ALIEN ripoff about an annoying bunch of imbeciles (called scientists for some reason....) stuck way underground and subjected to a virus created by a cocaine sniffing researcher (named Newton). There's a little (very little actually) nudity and gore, the film's too dark and the little seen monster really sucks. Maria Ford stars. Director Dave Payne later did ADDAMS FAMILY REUNION, a direct to video second sequel starring Tim Curry and Daryl Hannah as Gomez and Morticia. 




And then there was the Mike Curb produced DEADLY PAST (1994), standard nonsense involving murder and double crosses with former model Carol Alt using a guy (Eric Roberts clone Ronny Marquette) to her own ends and his girlfriend (Dee Dee Pfeiffer) getting caught in the middle with a psycho (future TV Crow star Mark Dacascos). I remember when director Tibor Takacs (originally from Hungry btw) made some good movies like THE GATE and I, MADMAN......



SHADOW WARRIORS from 1995 slips in next from Roger Corman's New Horizons. Here a Global Cybernetics honcho (THE STEPFATHER's Terry O'Quinn) invents T-S4, "the future in personal protection", actually reanimated dead people turned into bodyguards! Unfortunately Mikail, a silver one in The Ukraine goes crazy. O'Quinn's head of security (Timothy Patrick Cavanugh) and Mikail's programmer (Ashley Anne Graham) go and try to shut him down. A stateside T-S4 (Evan Lurie) helps them out by jumping out of a plane and duking it with Mikail, who shoots and blows up people and says things like "Time to sleep. Time to dream". Director Lamar Card made THE CLONES and DISCO FEVER so you've been warned......




Frank Zagarino has been starring in bad videos for a long time now. In WITHOUT MERCY (also from the incredible year of 1995) his character gets captured by Somalian rebels, is imprisoned and tortured and even gets kicked by a little girl. Years later he's a streetfighter (with flashbacks). The little girl who kicked him is now all grown up and with sleaze bag Martin Kove. There's fights (including one on an outboard motorboat) and explosions but the acting's not very good. Fortunately for all of us, Robert Anthony, the writer/director of this opus never made another movie......


I could go on but you've suffered enough!!

For now!!!!!!

Thanks for reading!
