honoured by the opportunity to chat with James Pax. One of the clean
cut, fresh faced, fighting Fu Action & Drama Asian actors with a
prolific, and highly watchable, resume of work over the last four
decades. A scene stealing performance, at a very young age, as
Lightning, one of the three Elemental Forces, from Director John
Carpenter’s 1986 Action classic, Big Trouble In Little China. A
regular guest support star in a multitude of great American TV action
shows that include, T.J. Hooker, MacGyver, Tour Of Duty, Matlock,
Nash Bridges & Martial Law, appearing alongside fellow Chinese
martial arts Action star Sammo Hung. American movie roles with
leading star names such as, Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Chuck
Norris, Helen Mirren & George Peppard brought experience &
one heck of a Cool calling card for the rising young talent. Hong
Kong cinema then gave James bigger roles & the deserved chance to
work with such Asian Cinema greats as, Johnnie To, Michelle Yeoh,
Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, Anthony Wong, Simon Yam & many others.</span></span></p>

A Very Warm Welcome to you James. Thank you so much for taking the
time out from your very busy schedule to share some of your
fascinating life story, focusing of course on your wonderfully rich &
highly entertaining wealth of Television & Movie making roles
down the years. Most Western audience folk will likely know you best
for your Impressive appearance as the character Lightning from Big
Trouble In Little China. Was it a role that you enjoyed & how
well was the character, & indeed the film itself received in Asia
?</span></span></p>

</b><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #04ff00;">I
truly enjoyed being in the movie. It was a long two months shoot. The
costume fitting took three times already. My Straw hat was huge,
bigger than the real ones that warriors wore during the 18th century.
The one they made for my costume was almost ten pounds in weight &
almost as wide as my shoulders. So they had to find a way to settle
it upon my head, since I do so much action it on. But I got used to
wearing after a few days. I heard the hat was later auctioned off for
a lot of money. I’m glad that someone got it because I would love
to have one to keep in my own bar, Hot Lips, as memorabilia for my
guests and fans to see. Who ever has one please do let me know. I’m
curious to find out who the lucky one is that has got it now.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Carpenter an on set creative assistance to you in developing the
character, or did he immediately like what you were bringing to the
part & leave you to showcase your natural talent ?</span></span></p>

</span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">was
very specific to let me know what he wanted. He said to do something
powerful when I dropped down from the sky with the lightning ride. So
I created this powerful strike fist form to allow the special effects
guy to later add in. I did it with small pauses in between. So as
with the tunnel shot scene John Carpenter said to come into this
squarish room and fire up your lightning everywhere. So I created the
four corners strike. I Didn’t know at the time of doing that it
would then bec</span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">o</span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">me
so effective & visually powerful. Then when I walked away from
that sequence, the ceiling dropped down with a big fire burning
behind me. After that I chased after Kurt Russell's character, Jack
Burton, in the same tunnel. Total Fun & an honour to work with
such a legendary Director, whom I respected so much for many of his
other great works, such as escape from New York (1981) among many
other films of his.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Trouble was my first movie in Los Angeles. I was not aware of Peter
Kwong until we met on the set. Carter Wong did movies in Hong Kong. I
only knew of him through his screen appearances. It was good to meet
him. Carter now lives in Macao.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

star of Kung Fu film from the Seventies, & Peter Kwong had built
up an almost parallel career in Asian Cinema & American TV work,
as you yourself were later soon to aspire to. Were either or both
approachable or forthcoming to help & advise you, or indeed
assist in shaping your acting & choice of roles for in the years
to follow ?</span></span></p>

<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Your first Big Screen appearance came with an American
production, and with an Action star that is pretty tough to top in
anyone's acting career, Chuck Norris no less ! The movie of course
being, Invasion U.S.A (1985). How excited were you to be told that
you were to have such an opportunity at such a young age ?</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #04ff00;">I
was happy to get the part so soon after Big Trouble In Little China
came out. Again, not much lines to say, but I was one of the
International Terrorist team. It was fun making the movie with great
locations in the swamps in Georgia. Chuck was a legend of course, a
very down to earth kind of guy. A big production with tanks and
soldiers running about everywhere. The movie really gave an early
warning sign before 911 came along.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"></span></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_UVQkafHOlSNYvhxodkhVrOLDG4L2q15BxxAhrKHsFmls9tbwfuW8SaOiQKixS3oLxrHPGZOc9qry47aQAn2-_IB3YiCU5oeCQlz-Y0kDJyUWBHxEmS5aX_9HNq9dH5eUmztrOp63F50/s650/James+Pax+Pic+23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="650" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_UVQkafHOlSNYvhxodkhVrOLDG4L2q15BxxAhrKHsFmls9tbwfuW8SaOiQKixS3oLxrHPGZOc9qry47aQAn2-_IB3YiCU5oeCQlz-Y0kDJyUWBHxEmS5aX_9HNq9dH5eUmztrOp63F50/w400-h215/James+Pax+Pic+23.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><p></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Invasion U.S.A not only starred Chuck Norris, in his prime, but
also one of the best mid budget production regular go to bad guy
greats of the time, Richard Lynch. What are your memories of this
early experience for you & were you able to rub shoulders with
either Chuck Norris or Richard Lynch, and if so how did you find them
as both actors & off set regular people ?</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #04ff00;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Richard

that sells the film. I had a small character </span></span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">part

<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before your break in American Film & TV you spent a year working
as a stock analyst on Wall Street, & honed your acting by doing
Off Broadway stage plays in New York City. How was that early life
style for a young guy finding his way in the city that never sleeps ?</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #04ff00;">Yes
stock brokerage was my family business in Hong Kong, thus I had the
opportunity to work in Wall street. But the acting bug was always in
me. So I quickly jumped back into acting.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At such a young age you seemed to cram so much into your life &
truly have embraced living during the early period of the 1980’s,
even managing to become a sought after name & face in Europe as a
male model, working the Italian catwalks for the likes of Top fashion
house designer Armani. Is it true that you became the first Chinese
model to ever appear on a Milan walkway stage ? This must have been
an exhilarating & high confidence building time for you at such
an early stage of your life. Do you look back upon those days with
fond memories ?</span></span></p><p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnV7PcUcBg7TXeMpoHIA6ZpjZ3uSTZk9mgolkg-fet-6pnA_zOcTre1sHJd4jiSMuC8CYCwdnEBzRbrLdfB69NrrCC4qTOWDmA7_t5dXVom_yD_h1I2dCYvrZHMFztjXpnwS5Nj7IAbB8/s399/James+Pax+Pic+11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="399" data-original-width="280" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnV7PcUcBg7TXeMpoHIA6ZpjZ3uSTZk9mgolkg-fet-6pnA_zOcTre1sHJd4jiSMuC8CYCwdnEBzRbrLdfB69NrrCC4qTOWDmA7_t5dXVom_yD_h1I2dCYvrZHMFztjXpnwS5Nj7IAbB8/w281-h400/James+Pax+Pic+11.jpg" width="281" /></a></span></div><p></p>

was an energetic teenager. Whilst I was studying in high school in
New Jersey, I was training myself in kung fu, learning fencing, body
building & playing a bit of soccer as well as some long distance
running. Ping pong was also one of my favourite things to do. But my
ultimate love was kung fu Training, learning all the moves of Bruce
Lee. He was my absolute hero. He made any Chinese man proud of their
heritage.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Working so hard & diversely clearly paid off & led to
acting role opportunities back in America with appearances for you in
shows such as, Scarecrow And Mrs. King (1986), T.J. Hooker (1986),
MacGyver (1986), Stingray (1987), Tour Of Duty (1987). This must have
been a fast & furious time for you, almost stepping from one show
role to another in quick succession & surely hard to recall
particular characters or plot lines that you played a part ? During
this time though Please can you share any memories of working with
Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner on the set of T.J. Hooker.</span></span></p><p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkLhtdb7CAGtBWSaaW0nPzmM_kl2M4ix3_BjWSW2xl8ZtVFiMOISD84feG8kv_Gnm8u0eMMRwVDD9i5LdCVmd7HvvULe22X2MTN2TwwdH99-Ft6QFgJAwYYDKJ-wacn5h0gqORfXhd-EI/s300/James+Pax+Pic+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="229" data-original-width="300" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkLhtdb7CAGtBWSaaW0nPzmM_kl2M4ix3_BjWSW2xl8ZtVFiMOISD84feG8kv_Gnm8u0eMMRwVDD9i5LdCVmd7HvvULe22X2MTN2TwwdH99-Ft6QFgJAwYYDKJ-wacn5h0gqORfXhd-EI/w400-h305/James+Pax+Pic+6.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p>

William Shatner is a great pleasure to work with. Lots of acting to
do. I remember I had to chase after him in a truck or something like
that. The crowd was always gathering around us wherever we went. I
also met beautiful girls in Hawaii then. Totally enjoyable work. I
went back many more times to Hawaii after, because m parents bought
two condos there as summer houses. I love the Hawaiian pace and night
life and the good food. It’s not cheap, but fully enjoyable indeed.
I met William Shatner again at the London movie convention in 2010.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 1989 a TV movie pilot came along to give you a Co-Star leading
role that was green lit the year after for a complete TV show season.
You were signed up to reprise your lead man role as Jimmy Kee, one
of a team of special undercover narcotics officers, whose identities
were even kept secret from the government heads funding the
department. The show was, Nasty Boys (1990) and ran for a full season
of thirteen episodes. This seems to be a difficult show to get to see
these days, but has all the ingredients of a great Action show of the
90’s that needs to be re-aired on TV & even given the DVD
treatment. Please could you share your memories & thoughts about
this exciting sounding show.</span></span></p><p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzxR_eBZ7ItQ9JtS4-hBqjuqx64H_MMOQOggMuW0U84uMzJqPcmOEL7l2z5ghaKf7Yv3aBTjD1x9wXhA9q2eZn9Cmc_CigMnfaUODN-DdbUI9W8e1bsNrAZHRZUjjLANej73jObVz7R5o/s426/James+Pax+Pic+16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="297" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzxR_eBZ7ItQ9JtS4-hBqjuqx64H_MMOQOggMuW0U84uMzJqPcmOEL7l2z5ghaKf7Yv3aBTjD1x9wXhA9q2eZn9Cmc_CigMnfaUODN-DdbUI9W8e1bsNrAZHRZUjjLANej73jObVz7R5o/w279-h400/James+Pax+Pic+16.jpg" width="279" /></a></span></div><p></p>

Boys was a great idea created by Dick Wolf. My character Jimmy Kee is
like a combination of Don Johnson from Miami Vice and Bruce Lee
together. I dressed like Don and punch like Bruce ! Nasty Boys was a
great production. Many great actors and Directors were on this show.
Michael Bay shot our promo video. I truly enjoyed making it, but it
was short lived.

<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After Nasty Boys you had a very healthy run of solidly produced
films, and quite a few Hong Kong productions. Did you move to China
during this time for the hectic schedule that included the likes of,
The Heroic Trio (1993), Love Among The Triad (1993), Crazy Hong Kong
(1993), Lang xin ru tie (1993), The Maidens Of Heavenly Mountains
(1994), Shanghai Fever (1994), Ma shen (1994), Enemy Shadow (1995) &
Gates Of Hell (1995) ?</span></span></p>

had to get away from Hollywood and try Hong Kong, where my parents
lived, because I asked myself, how much longer do I have to wait to
get a leading role in a movie ? I played second & third banana to
many big Hollywood stars already, but I don’t get to play the
leading role in movies or TV Series. So I tried Hong Kong. Hong Kong
is a hard market to crack, but I did & enjoyed it. I worked with
the best of best among Directors and actors there.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #04ff00;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"></span></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #04ff00;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKEsbYQIMFXQrfT3ZNlFKRpQiPNC7WPHqtr849PulyyN1YTOvwoNhsdnGPGoHCzv-yYvnQY-zKvOos1DwWJVnr-PSL0hobUcPpNlDG_gttjRsn8VJ1W_o1o8a2FOfojHKyVP4LxyVytg/s475/James+Pax+Pic+19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="336" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKEsbYQIMFXQrfT3ZNlFKRpQiPNC7WPHqtr849PulyyN1YTOvwoNhsdnGPGoHCzv-yYvnQY-zKvOos1DwWJVnr-PSL0hobUcPpNlDG_gttjRsn8VJ1W_o1o8a2FOfojHKyVP4LxyVytg/w283-h400/James+Pax+Pic+19.jpg" width="283" /></a></span></span></span></div><p></p>

differences between American & Hong Kong (Asian) productions, and
which do you prefer ?</span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #04ff00;">A h<span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">uge
difference in terms of size of budget and professionalism. Hollywood
shooting 35mm, and Hong Kong was still shooting with 16mm film stock.
Hong Kong though has its own way of making movies. Raw and fast ! A
movie can be shot in twenty days. Hollywood gave us a Trailer to wait
and rest up in. Whereas in Hong Kong we sat on the floor or had to
bring our own chair to sit in ! Hollywood had big catering trucks. In
Hong Kong we were given a $3 lunch box ! But I have respect for the

both Directed by the superb Johnnie To & the leading lady trio of

<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anthony Wong appeared in both The Heroic Trio (1993) & Heroic
Trio 2: Executioners (1993) went on to become one of Hong Kong /
Asia’s most respected & recognised acting talents the world
over. Throughout the 90’s he notoriously appeared in a vast number
of Category III rated movies, including the shocking likes of, Ebola
Syndrome (1996), The Untold Story 2 (1998) & A Lamb In Despair
(1999). </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Your
movie, Gates Of Hell (1995) was also a CAT III rated film. Were you
ever aware of the ratings applied to movies made in Hong Kong that
you appeared in, & do you feel that receiving the Category III

III can mean violence or indecent exposure scenes in it. But mine got
Category III was because it was violent. I was asked to star in many
movies requiring me to take off my pants, but I turned them down. I
don’t believe in doing roles like that. I believe I’m an actor
with substance, like Marlon Brando & Robert De Nero.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Arial Black, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Another very famous star today of Hong Kong / Asian cinema is the
terrific Simon Yam. He too though did his share of infamous CAT III
movie, perhaps the most startling, even to this day, being the senses
shattering, Run And Kill (1993). You worked alongside Simon Yam in,
Love Among The Triad (1993), did you enjoy the experience & how
did you find him as an actor & person at that stage of his career
?</span></span></p>

Yam was a Cool guy. He is what I called a PR man. He can speak to
anyone and make them feel comfortable. Good actor too. He was also a
Kung Fu guy in his early career.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

French and Italian films I would have loved to have done. I was

always thought I should have gotten it. I don’t know what went

<br />
<br />
[<b><span style="color: red;">PAUL</span></b>] Welcome Susannah. Thank you for taking time out from your busy daily schedule to be with us today. Your movie output certainly seems to have a prolific purpose about it over the last couple of years. Was this how you envisaged it to be ?<br />

<span style="line-height: 21.3px;"><b>[</b><span style="color: red;"><b>SUSANNAH</b></span><b>] <span style="color: lime;">Hi, and thanks for interviewing me. You might want to fix my grammar, I refuse to use it ever since my dissertation lol, and my mom being my English teacher, it's my way of rebelling. These two years have been a shock to me actually moving to Los Angeles, making three movies, trying to find my niche, and where to fit in here. Losing my father to cancer I've had a tough two years, but when you can go to the theater and see your movie it's all worth it. </span></b></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"><br /></span></b></div>
Have horror films always been a passion of yours, or are there other favourite genre influences also that we might get to see in your future film making projects ?<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime;"><b>My sister is actually the horror fanatic. I always hold my ears when I see horror films, it's all about the loud sound. It is really fun scaring people. She used to make haunted houses for me to go in when I was little, and scary masks. And we lived in a haunted house growing up, so that was scary. I always loved, Friday the 13th (1980) and Halloween's.</b></span><br />
<br />
Before your career in film you actually qualified as a psychologist and became a counselor. This in itself must have been rewarding work, and also perhaps very useful to you now in character profiling actors for your films. How do your psychology skills assist in your film making processes ?<br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I counseled to help people look at life differently. I'm sure my degree helps me write faster. After you do a dissertation writing for a script seems easier, lol. I wish I could say it was my degree but all my creations and scripts are definitely from God. I think he creates, not me. I'm just a messenger. I am the biggest Christian in the world, and Jesus freak. I even had a ministry at one time to help people, and I think it's funny when people say my visions have to be from a dark place. All of my scripts have a hidden meaning or message. I feel like I'm a ghost buster ! I tell a story that needs to be told, and we can't enjoy the good without the horror, and if God created all things.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>But we definitely do get haunted on set some, lol. The Hallucinogen entity is no joke, it haunted my nephew. He is in the beginning of the film. That's his true story, and when I wrote the script the ghost went away, so it's worth it. I think horror movies do bring up some funky energies that need to be cleared. Most sets get blessed by priests. So I just use my visions to write, and make movies, and I hope I am a good enough conduit. I think if I had the funding my scripts could be shown on film so much better. Most of my flaws are due to budget !</b></span><br />
<br />

<br />
You experienced very real horror when death itself became an unwelcome bed fellow in your own personal life, but your faith in the higher being, at such a terribly traumatic time, had it seems a very profound affect upon your purpose to write screenplays. Do you recall the thought transition at that time which then enabled you to visualize a multitude of scripts ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>It was my worst hour, but I have had many. I had a tumor. I was sick at the Mayo clinic, but it was a job like experience. When the scripts came in I had recently lost everything. My grandpa, my dogs, my soul mate, and I was sitting on my porch and God came to me, and said be still and trust in the lord, and I think the scripts came to help me through that year.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>All years are hard, it's life, nut the stories I wrote, that were shown to me in the vision, really helped me. Creating helps me, and I think God knew my dad was going to die, so he sent something to fulfill me. The stories I wrote and my work do that.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Encounter (2015) was a clear vision. A true story that happened to two people who were just married. The original vision took place in the 1960's, and I think this couple tragically died on a farm, and no one knew. And their story had to be told, to release their souls ! I was sad when I got the vision for Encounter. I felt what they felt.</b></span><br />
<br />
Your creative movie making house, Sahara Vision Productions, seems itself prophetically born out from your personally quoted experience of having to cross the desert to reach Hollywood, and face your personal fears. Do you feel in having full creative control this has afforded you greater respect and opportunities to attract financing, and like minded creative individuals to work with that you can trust, in the otherwise infamously avarice minded industry ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I don't know ! I love having creative control but it keeps you isolated. I would love the opportunity to work with more people, and get more funding, and have some exec look at my pitch book. And see my visions ! But I'm not going to wait around for Hollywood, so I just make them myself.</b></span><br />

<br />
The inspired camera work & cinematography of David M. Brewer is evident to see in your film, Hallucinogen (2016), complimenting your own keen directors eye for framing scenes. How pleasing is it for you to be able to work with such talent, well respected for being involved with such recognized horror films as, Insidious (2010) ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Working with Dave was a pleasure. I actually feel sorry for him working with me, lol. My stes are run very differently than a studio set. That was the first movie I had an Assistant Director on. lol. I really use the visions I see in my head to dictate a scene, and I am still learning to talk to dp's ( Director of photography), and story boarding is new to me. We didn't really have a shot list, I just told him my vision, and I know my weird style. We didn't get the coverage he wanted. We shot the movie in a record eight days, at ten hour days. But I sit with my editors and sound, and say where to cut, so I know when I have the shot I need, and how to edit around stuff.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>It was a great learning experience for me. I am trying to adapt to the studio style of film sets, but people have to adapt to my eccentric way of shooting, using my vision.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>So Dave was great. I use what I call a conduit on set, which happens to be my script editor, his name is Michael Phillip Edwards, and he can see my visions. So I would have him run around set and tell people what I see, and explain it in film language. It's just my style to stay in vision because I am sort of a psychic spiritual medium, so to speak. I live in two worlds, and I actually get orders from the other side, as creepy as that sounds, as what to film and where to edit. </b></span><br />
<br />

<br />
Your visualization in camera of the predominantly interior house shots from, Hallucinogen (2016) are simply, yet well dressed, with a great use of light shading to accentuate the moments of tension. This was reminiscent of the impressive style of the great Italian director Mario Bava in his horror films, and also Dario Argento, as well to certain degree Roger Corman. Are such renowned film makers or similar an influence upon your own style of film making ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I think the only style I have is maybe, Hitchcock and M. Night Shyamalan. I can watch any of his movies and to show I see his vision, and where he gets it, and it's very similar. And as far as Alfred Hitchcock, my style is very 1950's and 1960's. I am a huge horror sci-fi geek from that time period. More so sci-fi ! I have box sets that I watch. Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954) is so scary and one of my favourite examples of horror meets sci-fi.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>As far as lighting, I really love the orange glow, Encounter (2015) had. My dp for, The Doll (2016) Allister Conway, is a lighting genius, and The Doll (2016) looks like a French painting. He always jokes with me and says watch this movie, see the lighting, and I'm like no I don't want to, I want to see the acting and the story. Who cares if it looks good if there is bad acting, and no story !?, lol. So we are both right.</b></span><br />
<br />
Which films and film makers have indeed been a memorable & influential part of the young Susannah O’Brien’s past right to this day ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Since I was kind of indoctrinated into film making from my near death experience and visions I never said I want to be a film maker, that's what's so weird about my journey. So I can look at my style and say that vision reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock or M. Night Shyamalan, (and I hope I'm spelling his name right, lol), but I never really tried to be like anyone. I always did watch the Oscars growing up, and knew someday I will get one, which was always shown to me in visions too, so how I will get from horror to the Oscars I don't know. I just take it one vision at a time, and it got me across the desert, and my first movie theatrical release.</b></span><br />
<br />
Were your parents aware that they had a budding film maker in the family, and encourage such pursuits, or was it envisioned that you were destined for that career in the field of psychology ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I started out in the stock market, and then real estate. I loved building houses and buying real estate, and flipping them. That was my passion. And I did counseling as more to help people, and I was good at it. I hot my Ph.D for my mom. She has hers, but I never really cared for school. It was always easy for me. I was a self learner. But I was more of an entrepreneurial brain, so they had no idea. I think they and I always thought I would write books, and that I would have a book out first.</b></span><br />
<br />
Your faith and particularly your mother are clearly most important to you. In other written articles you have talked about just how grueling film productions have been, and that there is a very tangible aroma on set after long hours of shooting, to which apparently your dear mother assures you’ll get used to, with the added motherly advice to just use Febreze. What advice and reassurance do you find yourself giving to people around you during the working day ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>My editors and dp's prob want to murder me, lol. I just am always working, and try to get all of us to stay in vision for the project. If anything Allister Conway, my dp and editor, always keeps me going. He's like, don't give up !, and give me great advice.</b></span><br />

<br />
Encounter (2015) was your debut feature film. How much of a proud parent releasing her baby to the world were you upon its release, and did you sneak into theaters to experience with an audience, and if so what was the reaction to the screening ?<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I took my mom to see, Encounter (2015). It was so surreal to see it next to, Star Wars ( Star Wars The Force Awakens (2015). There is no experience like taking your mom to your own movie.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I was at AFM (American Film Market) before it sold, and snuck into a a screening, and some execs were in there. My assistant and I felt we couldn't leave or they would think we didn't like it, so we acted scared, and gasped, and it was really funny actually. I almost missed a meeting with Paramount over it.</b></span><br />
<br />
Before feature films did you make any short experimental movies or write scripts for others that were then shot on camera in any shape or form ?<br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I didn't. I don't really see the point of shorts. It does leave me wanting to see more, but it's hard to sell them or get funding. I just say make a feature ! I didn't have any films or scripts prior to my visions.</b></span><br />
<br />
It is refreshing to have another female film maker such as yourself breaking into the business with such cumulative success, particularly in the horror genre. Kathryn Bigelow for instance has done fantastically well, and of course herself given us the mercurial horror feature, Near Dark (1987). Do you feel that opportunities behind the camera, and roles in front of the camera are better for women today or as difficult & as stereotypical as ever !?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I have heard out here that female directors are in demand. It's like a rumor going around, so maybe it's easier to get the job now than before.</b></span><br />

<br />
Your latest film, The Doll (2016) features You Tube celebrity Valeria Lukyanova. The Ukranian living Barbie Doll sensation is inspired casting and from the movie trailer looks to be perfect for the role. How did you come to cast Valeria in your film ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I had a vision of Valeria before I knew she existed, and I have five Doll scripts. I kept seeing this perfect doll person in my visions, so I wrote them a year before I knew she existed, and one day my assistant was on You Tube and said, look it's your vision ! Valeria is very spiritual as well, and she thinks we were linked by the same spirit guide.</b></span><br />

<br />
How was working with Valeria Luckyanova, and do you feel that she may have a potential future in the movie business ? Her unusual look would be potentially perfect for a reworking of the French chiller classic, Eyes Without A Face (1960).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Valeria was a true doll to work with. She worked long hard hours and days, and never complained. She was a natural for the part. She def has a future. She's in Mexico now and going to be in a lot of TV shows on Telemundo. She has a look and presence that is of a true star, so people will def see more of her. She attracts fans.</b></span><br />

<br />
What can the growing fan base of Susannah O’Brien expect from you & your Sahara Vision Productions company in the future ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I want to do more sci-fi. I really loved, Encounter (2015). I want to do dramas. I think my horrors are actually good dramas. I have more comedy scripts than horror, for the 'A' list comedian.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I think the film industry is changing, and I would like to take You Tube stars and put them in movies, and stream to a website that fans really want.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I really love sci-fi fans they are so loyal, and forever. So if I could mix sci-fi with horror, and make the fans happy, with the budget I have, that would be my goal. And those two Oscars I was promised in my vision would be nice :p</b></span><br />
<br />
Is there a closing statement that you would like to share here with the readership and horror film community who support and follow you ?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>I hope you enjoy my first three films. I am learning and I want to hear what the fans want, and make better movies. I want my fans to come home from work, and go to my future website and look forward to downloading my movies. So if you don't like these I will get better, lol.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>It is super hard with a low budget, you can't please everyone. The visions are what they are, and sometimes I don't even know what they mean or why !?</b></span><br />
<br />
It has been an absolute pleasure to have been afforded such a conducive all access pass to discuss your movie making passion with you Susannah. Thank you so very much, and every best wish for continued success to you.<br />
<br />
May the Febreze be with you.<br />

<b>The stories premise is traditional Bram Stoker fare. Jonathan Harker is called into the employ of Count Dracula, to undertake the task to categorize his vast library. Within the confines of the counts castle’s domain, Harker falls victim to the entrapment of vampirism. His demise is swiftly inevitable, as is the arrival soon after of his wife Mina, to be by her husbands side. The true revealing purpose of Harker’s calling, by Dracula, to bring his beautiful wife to the region, for the blood sucking vampire to have her for his own. Mina’s countenance being the same as that of the one true love Dracula had, had centuries before. The smitten vampire convinced of Mina being the resurrected embodiment of his lover !. </b></div>

<b>Dario Argento of old would have sunk his teeth into re-imaging the legend of Dracula. Relishing the prospect of enveloping his audience into an eye popping new way to literally splatter his eager patrons with gore and shocks aplenty, with the medium of 3D. Rather unfortunately though, this is the modern day shadow of the former maestro, as painful as that is actually to state !. Here the only pair of glasses that most watching will want to put on are those that come as a pair, with matching cane ! Dracula 3D is far from candy for the eyes, but more floss for a toothless lead, directed with neutered care for either performers or viewers !.</b></div>

Asia Argento displays her wares, and the star of the show, Rutger Hauer, appears in the final third act, as Abraham Van Helsing, to inject some life into the flagging proceedings. </b></div>

<b>Dracula 3D isn’t even one of the so bad its good movies, unfortunately. If this was made by low budget film production studio, The Asylum, even their producers would ask for a rewrite and re-shoots !. Apply a humorous over dub and it is perfect late night fodder for Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Curiously though the film often has the look and feel of that of a porn film maker. So much so that with some inserted porn scene this could well work better as one of the many recent productions in the adult film market, as a Dracula XXX parody !. Whatever the case, this most definitely is not the second coming of Dario Argento !. </b></div>

<b>The Post Apocalyptic Action movie is back with a ‘B’ movie bang, and with more than just a blast from the past resurrected dust cloud. ‘Bounty Killer’ hits the waste ground running & doesn’t let off the gas throughout its smile inducing entirety. With a foundation of, ‘Mad Max: The Road Warrior’ (1982), the make up of, ‘Warriors Of The Wasteland’ (1983) & a deliciously doffing deference to, ‘Death Race 2000’ (1975), ‘Bounty Killer’, puts peddle to the metal in a post nuke pleasure pastiche, layered upon a spaghetti western platform & ladled up with lashings of blood letting, Action, Mayhem !. </b><br />

<b>This neatly realized vision of a post apocalyptic landscape is enhanced with well integrated matte drawn back drops, and its mid movie sequence introducing the nomadic Gypsies, a tribe of professed cannibals and wild savages, as they chase after the protagonists into the wastelands, is a well layered example of such application. An action packed effects sequence well worth anticipating, but cross these Gypsies and your future will be swiftly predetermined !. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The metal steed riding motorcycle horseman of the post apocalypse known as Drifter (Matthew Marsden), is a bounty hunter driven by his need for retribution and redemption. Himself once aligned within the ranks of the white collar free rollers, until the realization of the affect of the all consuming avarice eating away at the world, renounced the Corporation, and ever since the apocalyptic downfall tracks down the egotistical propriety among its surviving hub.</b><br />

<b>Drifter is the new age future version of Clint Eastwood’s Man With No Name, but with the quirkier disposition akin to that of a dialogue dishing Rowdy Roddy Piper from, ‘They Live’ (1988). He may not be chewing gum, but he sure knows how to kick ass !. His ample array of fire power comes side kick supplied by his trusty gun caddy Jack LeMans (Barak Hardley), a jittery hanger on who bathes in the new world rock star limelight emitted by the bounty killers, but who soon earns Drifter’s respect. Caddying up shooting irons for the right range to take down the bad guys, stay the course, and bag the bounty. Drifter is a shooting iron pro, but he only gets his wood out for … Mary Death.</b><br />

<b>Feature movie newcomer, and super hot starlet of the future, Christian Pitre is the freeze frame bounty killer heroine babe of the piece, Mary Death. Sat back with a beverage in hand you’ll spill your juice as she hit’s the screen just before you do !. Blessed with a fabulous female form to unzip with your eyes and cry with joy as she kicks future butt like Barbarella working out to a Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do self instructional DVD. With knockout attributed curves and a pair of throat slicing spurs spinning on her heels, Mary Death is well christened, and the lord help all who cross her. This apocalyptic angel of death is a sex popsicle of perdition, dishing out a hell of a lot more than she takes a licking !.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Mary Death and Drifter are a formidable pairing as they join forces to purge the planet of the pre apocalyptic surviving cancer that is The Corporation. A still privileged society protected by the suited and booted armed militia of their matriarch, Catherine (Kristanna Loken). Her yellow tie wearing force headed up by chief cohort Van Sterling, played by the always watch able, out there antics of a beguilingly bonkers Gary Busey. Kristanna Loken’s conceited bitch of a character wants Drifter back in her ranks, and everyone else outside of The Corporation society, Terminated !.</b><br />

<b>Based upon the Cool graphic novel of the same name, from Robert Kirkman’s (The Walking Dead) Kickstart Production stable, ‘Bounty Killer’ is very much a hyper Cool comic book page to screen translation that works supremely well. On screen graphics etch out indelible imagery to enhance the comic book Fun at opportune times throughout the film. Oft displayed bodily dismemberment, and siphons of blood, paint the screens canvas with such tongue in cheek rapture that even the staunchest of disbelievers viewing will revel in its wry intentions to successfully entertain. </b><br />

<b>Matthew Marsden makes for a charming hero, and Christian Pitre a lethal, yet lovely heroine. Perfect casting all round & the end credit outtake reel shows just how much fun was had by all in the making of the film.</b><br />

<b>It has been all too long since a good Post Apocalyptic Action movie has come along, and, ‘Bounty Killer’ is a very good one indeed. Blessed with a decent budget, well done CGI effects and backdrops, along with some very well done practical effects to boot. The future of the Post Nuke movie is looking good, rallied as it was once before it seems, this time in the pre wake of a new, ‘Mad Max’ movie, with the highly anticipated, ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ due out in (2015). </b><br />

Any movie starting with a scene showing a diabolical double decapitation by means of a devilishly deviant design of lethal retractable blade, attached to the roof side of a speeding car and initiated into lateral position at the press of a button, is deserving in its place of memorable opening moments. Up there with those great Hammer Horror sequences where Van Helsing chases down Count Dracula, recounting the closure of the previous movie and spawning the start of a new chapter. A bloody action packed introduction then to the deliciously dark humoured delights that unfold in … Horror Hospital !.</div>

Jason Jones (Robin Askwith) is in need of a short break from his hectic job in the music industry, and so decides to spend a few days at a health retreat. On route by train to the Southern coast of England he meets up with a pretty young woman named Judy Peters (Vanessa Shaw). By coincidence she too is travelling to the same retreat in order to see her auntie. When the two get off the train at their destination the platform is desolate, and the area seems overly quiet and tranquil. They are met by the station manager who gives them directions. When they trek off by foot the station manager telephones the health hospital, and with a sinister precognition informs them to expect another two !. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The wryly dark vein of smile inducing humour flows throughout proceedings, in an anarchic, unrestrained irreverence to British societies nonchalance during the early Seventies. Everything is over the top, including the seemingly quite often adlibbed acting, and infectious for it in making the movie far more palatable than had it been done overtly serious. </div>

At Brittle House Manor, Dr. Christian Storm (Gough) experiments on the health resort guests, performing a lobotomy upon them that leaves each person completely, and mindlessly under his control. Left in a Zombie like state, emotionless and unable to feel pain they are pawns at the command of Dr. Storm. His mark left upon them with a grisly head scar, and a deathly white pallor to the skin.<br />

Jason Jones and Judy Peters are ensnared into Dr. Storm’s macabre world, and each readied for the same procedure. With Judy due next upon the insane doctors operating table it is up to Jason, aided by another young man appearing on the scene in search of his girlfriend, to overcome the bizarrely garbed personal guards, kitted out in motorbike leathers and safety helmets at all times, and save Judy from Dr. Storm’s maniacal experimentations !. <br />

It’s all good, bloody, schlock British made Seventies horror at its best. One of those rarities that gets more camp, and more enjoyable with age. Ending on a suitably gory high in similar fashion to how it began, and unravelling the horrible secret behind a deformed creature, only previously glimpsed throughout the movie. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Horror Hospital is highly deserving of your ‘patience’, and well worth checking into. Just be sure to get prescribed the full incisive cut of the film before undertaking such movie medication !. </div>

Nazi SS Zombie death troopers rise up from a watery grave to seek vengeance upon their creator. Programmed to kill, and created to overcome any terrain, in any condition or circumstance, these unyielding harbingers of devastation are the apocalyptic abominations of biblical prophecies. Enhanced evolutionary killing machines, these un-dead soldiers of war are the ultimate evocation of evil. They are the Führer’s Death Corps !. <br />
<br />
Aberrations genetically designed in experimental laboratories at the end of World War II. Brought into being by the maniacal minds of Nazi SS scientists, instructed to create a super soldier. A remorseless killing machine in the image of man, but born from the manipulated DNA structure of reanimated human hosts. <br />

</div>The movie begins with a small private boat, captained by horror stalwart John Carradine, out on the ocean with a small compliment of crew and a handful of paying vacationers, including a very young and cute Brooke Adams. As night falls the boats occupants witness an unusual light array emanating from the ocean bead, explained away by the cranky old sea faring captain as a barometric anomaly. Later, into the sleeping hours, the boats night watchman and a sleepless Brooke Adams are startled by what appears to be a very large freighter ship bearing down upon them. Their small boat is hit, but the only trace of what caused the incident is a ghostly outline of a sunken wreck witnessed beneath the sea upon the next days dawn breaking.<br />

</div>With a damaged ships hull the occupants of the boat row ashore to a close by remote island in order to seek assistance. Mysteriously, the captain of the vessel has disappeared during the night. As the small party feel land beneath their feet, upon safely arriving upon the island, they are soon taken aback at the discovery of the captains lifeless body washed up upon the beach. John Carradine’s atypical movie cameo appearance, during this stage of his very long career, meets cessation with the death of his character with no apparent cause !?.<br />

</div>Right from the off <span style="color: lime;">Shock Waves</span> ripples with atmosphere and a terrific sense of real tangibility, as if you are alongside the on screen characters experiencing what they are. Great credit to Director Ken Wiederhorn for bringing out sound performances from his ensemble of both seasoned actors, and fledgling stars of the future. His creativity in bringing the best from what is essentially a basic storyline, and delivering to his audience a finished product that refreshingly rewards well above expectations.<br />

</div>Peter Cushing appears on screen when the bedraggled island crashers arrive upon his doorstep. A run down old hacienda styled hotel that Cushing’s character, of a reclusive ex SS commander, resides in alone, living out the final days of a life that is clearly racked with memories of a past that haunts him. <br />

</div>Italian horror icon Lucio Fulci may well have been influenced by <span style="color: lime;">Shock Waves</span> for his 1979 classic Zombie gore onslaught, <span style="color: lime;">Zombie Flesheaters</span>. The gathered party of people, gathered in a run down haven upon a remote island, following boat trouble, is the very same scenario. Uncannily representative of the cult Euro directors memorable moments is when the first un-dead SS death corps officer rises up from his watery grave, and traverses across the ocean bed. Fulci added a shark attack to his underwater Zombie, but the general scene resemblance is most notable.<br />

</div>The visualisation of the German SS soldiers emerging up out of their watery grave is as memorable as that of the knights templar shuffling to the shore, after their ghostly galleon is raised to the bottom of the ocean after being engulfed by fire, in the Spanish horror classic <span style="color: lime;">Ghost Ships Of The Blind Dead</span> (1974). An eerie image of the living dead, fatigued in full SS uniform, and oversized protective eye goggles adorning their countenance.<br />

</div>Seeking a way off the island, and pressing for answers as to the SS commanders past, the people from the boat are warned to stay away from the water, and to leave the island as soon as possible. Peter Cushing delivers a fine performance as a scarred former cog to the might of the Nazi wheels of war. He reveals his past and foretells of the impending attack upon them all by his creations. Describing them as the most vicious and blood thirsty of all of the SS divisions. His creations are a group of commandos designed specifically to acclimatise under water. The Death Corps are neither dead, nor alive, but somewhere in between. Towards the end of the second world war they were dropped into war zones and let loose upon the enemy, and anyone that was unfortunate enough to cross their path. With the war lost the SS commander sent his ship, and its cargo of Death Corps soldiers, to a watery grave at the bottom of the ocean. Now time has turned the tide and his progenies have reawakened from their watery internment, and their killer programming has not altered !.<br />

A genuine cult piece that is deserving of being rediscovered by a modern audience. Refreshingly free of CGI, and needless excesses of blood and gore, yet simply and effectively resplendent in its consummate horror traditions. <br />

When the United States Of America and Russia launch nuclear missiles in pre-emptive strikes against each other it signals the gauntlet to spare two nations mass populations, a preamble to logical resolution of disagreement, and a practical solution to safeguarding the innocent. The two super powers arrange for a showdown, on a level playfield, in a neutral zone, between their chosen champions. A modern day equivalent of a duel. The winning combatant giving right of resolution to their governing heads of state.<br />
<br />
Sergeant Tom Batanic, a disgraced special operations soldier, convicted criminal and incarcerated in a maximum security prison, is emancipated from his long term hell. With the opportunity to have all charges against him wiped clean Batanic takes up the mantle charged to him by his country. He is fast tracked into a full on training procedure to hone his already given talents. Army training and Batanic training, however, don’t actually see eye to eye. The former sergeant isn’t one for taking orders, but when set free from the shackles of bureaucratic pomp and procedure Batanic is a man of mass destruction !.<br />

In the Russian Spetsnaz command camp their military leaders task Major Galashkin, played by the ubiquitous mighty bad assed villain William Smith, to evaluate, train, and psychologically hone their war readied beast, Sergeant Sergei Schvackov !. A man mountain of forward motion muscle, who’s perchance is a lethal throwing delivery of a sharp edged shovel like weapon. Robert Z’Dar is perfectly cast as the Spetsnaz version of <span style="color: lime;">Robocop</span>, an unyielding force of unmitigated might, and a man with a bigger chin population than the whole of China !.<br />

Schvackov is subjected to the most intensive physical and mental training schedule, isolated away in a dark and clinical low level facility away from the outside world. His one on one total fortification is engrained upon him by the unforgiving solidarity of William Smith’s superbly grizzled army major. Robert Z’Dar’s larger than life plastic action commando figure is breathed life into by Smith’s character, and once freed from the figurative plastic covered box containment he’s ready to turn his opponent into a disfigured Ken doll, and make Barbie look like a twisted version of Jackie Stallone.<br />
<br />
The coming together of the two combatants upon the battle zone is high Action entertainment. Both machines of war let rip upon each other with guns, knives, brawn and bravado, but in the end it is the use of brain and tactical nouse that wins the day.<br />
<br />
After throwing everything at each other, including brazen use of a bazooka, the two seasoned warriors gain respect for each other and come the end the result of the coming together is resolved in good old fashioned hand to hand, mano a mano combat. Both men aware that they are first and foremost soldiers, and not pawn representations of their governing puppet masters. They cut the strings of the insidious charade and fight for their own honour, each resolute in the satisfaction that may the best man win. <br />
<br />
Big Fun Action outing from Director David A. Prior, with sound performances from his lead players. A very prophetic take on how future major disagreement outbreak may be resolved, but even with minimal loss of life will we ever be able to overcome the far greater reaching ramifications that still involve us all !?. Free your film Fun, drop such politics and pick up this ‘B’ movie Prior‘ity’. Now that’s a <span style="color: lime;">Final Sanction </span>!.<br />

</div><br />
Vietnam war veteran Deacon Porter (Rick Hill) receives a telephone call from the wife of a friend, and fellow ‘Nam war buddy, informing of his death in a car accident. The grieving wife tells Porter that she believes it was murder !.<br />
<br />
In a back hills Californian town crooked business man John Carey operates a marijuana trade. The surrounding lands are the perfect plantation spot for cultivation of the illegal substance, and with the local police sheriff on his payroll Carey’s production schedule is in full force. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5qGp07At0E-fPQxYzrvsq5QueuaQoVravxhqUn4QkJ_LA_nPkvJgLh03v7QJDuYB833dubcIjc7SU6TF_4195M3dIZak5XwDlOiVtYJJMKNvV8h1Rxte0cpsVhkufe70gZjXptLXBnE/s1600/destroyers+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5qGp07At0E-fPQxYzrvsq5QueuaQoVravxhqUn4QkJ_LA_nPkvJgLh03v7QJDuYB833dubcIjc7SU6TF_4195M3dIZak5XwDlOiVtYJJMKNvV8h1Rxte0cpsVhkufe70gZjXptLXBnE/s400/destroyers+2.jpg" t8="true" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />
Carey has a large stable of armed men under his leadership, all tasked with keeping the marijuana fields guarded at any cost. Trespassers aren’t just frightened off, they are hunted down and killed !. Anyone that may directly attract attention to them meets with a more subtle form of accidental death. Deacon Porter’s ‘Nam buddy uncovered the operation, and his transgression led to Carey staging his death to look like it was accidental.<br />
<br />
Porter drives into the same town to ask questions about his friend. Word of his investigations soon reach Carey and it is not long before he too is set upon by the drug barons goons. Beaten, bloodied, shot and then having his car forced off the road by pursuit vehicles, careening into a ditch and exploding into a plume of flames, Porter just about gets out in time. Believed dead, and so not attracting any more concern from the aggressor Carey, he retreats back home to dress his wounds and formulate a plan of retaliation. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBz59cG2ahCl-yBaSRZsCUf1pD4nZ4DjCsGp9mSKlzIQ9SbSxAFnSWzlbT0zPQVIbHbWfGD3CER1lIR96h43EAUNO7kpdHlH96n53iNPvHadfWeviUeZm5UIq0MhE4PSGX2TNQqE5MSQg/s1600/destroyers+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBz59cG2ahCl-yBaSRZsCUf1pD4nZ4DjCsGp9mSKlzIQ9SbSxAFnSWzlbT0zPQVIbHbWfGD3CER1lIR96h43EAUNO7kpdHlH96n53iNPvHadfWeviUeZm5UIq0MhE4PSGX2TNQqE5MSQg/s400/destroyers+1.jpg" t8="true" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Anther ex ‘Nam war friend, and explosives expert, comes to Porter’s aid, offering his assistance in bringing the war to John Carey and his illicit operation. Whilst Porter rejuvenates, and forms a plan of action, his good buddy sets about calling upon a couple of former Vietnam war brothers in arms. Weapons and tactics soldiers, still alert of mind, and fleet of foot and fist. Bringing together a formidable small strike force of four Deacon Porter, and his three dogs of war, return to the backwoods Californian town to serve notice of hostile intent upon Carey !.<br />
<br />
Guns, grenade launchers and plenty of explosive devices, bring proceedings into the high octane Action percentage column in the final third of the movie. Vietnam vets against drug running animals. The only way for Porter and his men to cull the rabid beasts is to put them down. Outnumbered, but out smarting such overwhelming odds, the battle seasoned pros bring a war to Carey that raises all hell, and his Marijuana operation to the ground. <br />
<br />

Rick Hill steps out of ye old world <span style="color: lime;">Deathstalker </span>(1982) mode, and muscles right on into modern Action hero mould <span lang="EN">pretty seamlessly</span>. Crofton Hardester plays the mean spirited and avarice hungering bad guy role of John Carey well enough, ably assisted by Cirio H. Santiago recognisable regulars Nick Nicholson and Don Gordon Bell, amongst others, as his heavy handed henchmen.<br />
<br />
Left to team Porter the bad baggage gets taken down, toe tagged and sent packing care of lethal Vietcong man traps and bad ass bravado. <span style="color: lime;">The Destroyers</span> is a low budget, high value Action fest that delivers the goods. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">In a post apocalyptic future, where fuel is precious, those that rule the roads set the rules. A despotic bandit known as Scourge terrorises the desolate landscape, taking what he wants from those that stray from the protective umbrella of the last remnants of societies liberal governors. With a small army of barbaric men at his command there is little resistance left to oppose his reign of terror, and high on his agenda is illicit regulation of the regions fuel reserves. The fight for the future rests with Mad Max makeover macho man Trace (Gary Watkins), and a gutsy gung ho girl named Stinger (Laura Banks), to stand up to the Scourge and bring hope to a post nuke nightmare !.</div><br />

A Filipino filmed fuel injected futuristic flick, made on a micro budget for Roger Corman’s Concorde Pictures production company. Polish is applied to proceedings by director Cirio H. Santiago, who knows how to deliver Action entertainment. Ably squeezing all the thrills and spills, along with mighty explosions and car stunt arrangements, into his predominantly exterior locations shot frames. <br />
<br />

Tough guy Trace looks out for himself and his own, avoiding unnecessary run ins with the Scourge and his anarchic army of followers. That self imposed law is revoked when Trace’s sister Arlie (Lynda Weismeier) is chased down, beaten, raped and taken captive by the lawless lackeys of the Scourge. Trace weapons up and revs up his super charged super car, engaged for Action and hell bent on getting his sister back !.<br />

The desert backdrop landscape is the perfect canvas for Cirio H. Santiago to adorn his Action laden picture with multitudes of speeding motorcycles and automobiles, racing around, smashing and crashing all over the place. Trace tears up his tires in relentless pursuit of Scourge’s hideout, and in his destructive wake he gives aid to a female soldier of fortune, caught in the crossfire of a Scourge attack. Together they take out the trash, and Trace has a new ally in the shape of Stinger (Laura Banks), one tough tigress of a girl who it just so happens also has a score to settle with the Scourge.<br />
<br />

It’s an inevitability that Trace and Stinger will come face to face with Scourge, and in that respect the Action filled finale does not disappoint. Their journey together on route throws up a few tricky encounters along the way, including a run in with an underground race of flesh eating beings known as The Sandmen. Pulled into the caverns of The Sandmen, beneath the surface of the shifting sands, Trace and Stinger have to fight their way out against a daylight affected race akin to the Morlocks from <span style="color: red;">The Time Machine </span>(1960). Here they meet and rescue a young woman named Spike, a feisty girl who can look out for herself and who also has the gift of E.S.P. Her ability to read thoughts proves invaluable and immediately gives her and her two new friends the advantage they need to make good their escape from the frenzied cannibals !.<br />

It is easy to forgive any shortfalls here though as <span style="color: red;">Wheels Of Fire</span> never once pretends to be anything other than what it is, and that is low budget ‘B’ movie hokum, with an accentuation on Action. A bare bones, bare breasted, bare knuckle ride along the highway to hell, in a post apocalyptic world where each new day is a fight for survival !.<br />

American / Mexican jungle Action adventure production that tries to emulate the style of the Eighties made Euro flicks. Four adventurers and two Mexican bandits become embroiled in the acquirement of a legendary treasure. Deep within the South American jungle lives a hidden tribe, who worship the memory of their goddess, and protect their idols fabulous riches of jewels in her honour. Word of the tribe and their capacious cache has leaked to the outside world, bringing deceit and treachery to the natives harmonious sanctuary, in the form of the avaricious Mr. Diaz !. </div><br />
Harold Grand (Don Calfa) is a talent manager who runs up bad debt and is beholden to Mr. Diaz. On his talent books is rock singer Lu De Belle (Linnea Quigley), an attractive blonde star in the making. In order for Harold Grand to pay off his tab Mr. Diaz tells him to hand over Lu De Belle to him. Unbeknownst to Grand is that Lu is the personification of the Moon Goddess, and with her in his possession Mr. Diaz intends to trick the hidden South American tribe out of their treasure.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-gX9ccNy68g1XwuWDOXqPdWKPXaIUzToQVFxt26z7A8ym4bhUPQ3QYbDVdNmGXEeKIXP9zaDmUI2e8HRvqv3Z9dobn4S17LIKFb7Xn0S4VJ-pfFlYxykmuxaqXOxLz0ed4WeQmW3t2Hk/s1600/treasure+moon+goddess+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-gX9ccNy68g1XwuWDOXqPdWKPXaIUzToQVFxt26z7A8ym4bhUPQ3QYbDVdNmGXEeKIXP9zaDmUI2e8HRvqv3Z9dobn4S17LIKFb7Xn0S4VJ-pfFlYxykmuxaqXOxLz0ed4WeQmW3t2Hk/s400/treasure+moon+goddess+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Both Harold and Lu set off with instruction to meet Mr. Diaz at a remote destination. They hire a small boat owned by Sam Kid (Asher Brauner) and his attractive partner Brandy (Jo Ann Ayres), in order to best get to the location given. On route they are set upon by another boat, filled with marauding Mexican bandits, out to abduct Lu De Belle. Sam Kid is not one to be unprepared for any situation and fends off the attempt with gun power. He and his small compliment are way outnumbered however. The barrage of bullets and heavier fire power takes its toll upon Sam’s boat and all abandon ship just in time before it blows up.<br />
<br />
Sam Kid, Brandy and their two new acquaintances swim to shore and make their way through the coastal jungle to an inland ramshackle town. They barely have time to catch their breath before Mr. Diaz sends his goons out to collect his prize in the form of Lu. Sam springs into Action man hero mode and its not long before fisticuffs and a bar fight, with a snake pit, breaks out.<br />
<br />
It’s almost like <span style="color: red;">The Perils Of Pauline</span> (1967) for poor Lu as she is sought after not only by Mr. Diaz but it turns out that the Mexican bandits were acting at the behest of their boss, who just so happens to be the cousin of Mr. Diaz, whom just so happens to be on to his relatives scurrilous intensions. <br />

The script would have been far better handled by Italian 'B' movie maestro Bruno Mattei, who undoubtedly would have livened things up and had Brent Huff in the lead, chewing up the scenery and delivering the one liners as only he could.<br />
<br />
There are a few entertaining Action escapades, but sadly they are all too short and ultimately unconvincing. With a tribe of South American natives about as threatening as vegetarian cannibals there really is little to get your teeth into. The absurdity upon revealing the true connection between Mr. Diaz and the tribe is about as glib as it gets. If you can stick with this until the test of strength within the sacred temple, where at least some <span style="color: red;">Raiders Of The Lost Ark</span> (1981) traps liven things up a bit, then you’ll make it through till the let’s leave this open for a sequel ending.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Treasure Of The Moon Goddess</span> really is a bottom of the bargain bin pick up only, and not the rough diamond hoped for. This type of Action adventure movie is best laid at the door of big budgeted Hollywood blockbusters, and the far more accomplished low budget genius of the Euro Action film makers from the same decade. <br />

Once he was a Hitcher, now he’s a ‘hit and gun’ hobo. Rutger Hauer wipes crime from the street like a bidet blasting bowels !. He may appear a down and out homeless bum, but he’s no asshole. The true rim raiders and scumbags of the streets are the scourge of the state, and this hobo has seen enough. It’s time to take up a shot gun, pump, dump and flush the crap right out of the city !. <br />
<br />
Drake (Brian Downey) is the villain of the piece, who along with his two petulant post teen nephews, Slick and Ivan, rule the urban city landscape with dope, prostitution and violence. Life is cheap to them and the people are mere cattle to prod, preen and slaughter as they see fit. Torture is but an entrée to the surf and turf slaughter main dish they relish, with free flowing blood !.<br />
<br />

The hobo ambles into the city, having free ridden the livestock carriage of the connecting state train, looking for shelter and to scour about for enough loose change to afford himself the dollars he requires to purchase a sturdy old lawn mower. His focus in his latter years is to start his own lawn cutting business. There’s only one kind of grass that’s cut in this city though, and that’s the kind the Drake supplies !.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_O-7L_ArOMzQ9mEgLNz6zDuuS9lc4iv0t_smFODz2B3K7C3v-eFvGrLYIXz3kr6Dx9zX5x_nnp6OdXHalcHSDk-BPvzvhyphenhyphen52OXjN9mJRDWPO0lovEotmcehCj4XuaKcIToSBBT2sFu0U/s1600/hobo+shotgun+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_O-7L_ArOMzQ9mEgLNz6zDuuS9lc4iv0t_smFODz2B3K7C3v-eFvGrLYIXz3kr6Dx9zX5x_nnp6OdXHalcHSDk-BPvzvhyphenhyphen52OXjN9mJRDWPO0lovEotmcehCj4XuaKcIToSBBT2sFu0U/s400/hobo+shotgun+5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Witnessing first hand the excessive force and brutality that Slick and Ivan dish out, all with the approval and encouragement of uncle Drake, the hobo takes a stand when the life of a bright young prostitute is threatened by Slick. The hobo sees good in her and convinces himself that given the chance to escape her lifestyle she could be a teacher. He saves her from the thuggish punk and turns to the cops for help. It is here that the diabolical reality of the city’s situation reveals itself to the well intentioned and decent homeless hobo. Low life criminal scum doesn’t just regulate the streets, it owns the police force that is supposed to protect them !. <br />
<br />
Receiving his harsh reality check at the end of a fist, and painfully etched deep into his chest with a blade, both courtesy of Slick, Rutger Hauer’s character takes a stand against the scourge and becomes a … <span style="color: red;">Hobo With A Shotgun</span> !. <br />
<br />

The intentional Grind House groove runs rampant in over the top, often excessive violence, splashed across the screen in a crimson cauldron of transgressed trash. The intent is clear, to be as outlandish and over the top as is distastefully possible, highlighted by, the thankfully not shown, but none the less carried out and left to run the gauntlet of gruesomeness across the imagination of those viewing, the sick asphyxiation of a group of school kids on a bus by Slick burning them to death with a flame thrower !. There are certain boundaries that should not be crossed, and even in the blackest vein of shock horror humour this is not a cinematic moment to condone. The only gratification coming out of this unpleasant apparition is the aptly applied last rites of passage to hell epitaph, deftly applied to Slick by the hobo.<br />
<br />
The blood, guts and violence otherwise is suitably over the top silliness, and the joy at delighting in Rutger Hauer taking out the trash, shot gun in hand and grizzled dialogue, delivered with vitriolic disdain at those deserving, is nothing short of bad assed inspirational. Hauer owns this role, and effortlessly shows pretty much every other actor up for the minimum wage stooges they portray. Friends, and likely family members of the film makers do not good actors make, even in a low budget production hiding behind its intentions at recreating a genre style where this once upon a time was overlooked. Watching and listening to the character of Slick is akin to experiencing the excellent Jon Cryer recreating his role, today, of Duckie, from <span style="color: red;">Pretty In Pink</span> (1986), but as Tony Montana in <span style="color: red;">Scarface </span>(1983). Please, let’s not have to say hello to this little friend of the film makers again !.<br />
<br />

Stand out sequence of the movie without a doubt is when Drake deploys two of the crime worlds most lethal dispensers of pain and death, The Plague. Brothers of botulism, belched forth from the brine and brimstone of Beelzebub’s hellish boudoir. Their onslaught through a hospital in search of the hobo, kitted out as they are in full sheet metal attire, replete with forged eye slit hole helmets and spiked gauntlets, is nothing short of biblical. Like horsemen of the apocalypse, arriving astride their steel steed motorcycles, their passage of pain is surely written somewhere within the text of the book of revelations !. <br />
<br />
Gregarious gruel slaps itself across the screen like a visceral Salvador Dali, ladled upon his canvas with a pallet of blood. A nightmarish vision of a world gone to hell, with only the evocation of Charles Bronson, brandishing a shotgun, standing at those gates with both barrels loaded, and pointed directly at Satan’s nut sack !. Major league movie making it ain’t, but balls to the wall grind house experience, it sure as all heck delivers a pretty darned good representation of. <br />

Time for an April shower of Video Tape goodness up on over at the 'Bay. Seventies Crime Action nestling right on next to more groovy greatness from those industrious Italians in the Eighties, right on through to some outlandish independent Zombie horror gore in the Nineties.<br />
<br />
A veritable smorgasbord of Greek, UK and Japanese VHS Tapes to choose from.<br />
<br />
Highlights this time out include Euro Crime MUST HAVES <span style="color: red;">Mark The Narc</span> & <span style="color: red;">Mark Strikes Again</span>, both Directed by the awesome Action stunt coordinator Stelvio Massi, and starring the very cool Franco Gasparri.<br />
<br />
Hot on the tail fender of these comes Director Alberto De Martino's awesome mid seventies crime Actioner <span style="color: red;">Blazing Magnum</span>. Starring Stuart Whitman, John Saxon, Martin Landau & Tisa Farrow. This one features one of the very best car chase sequences in movie history. Franco Nero heads up the star roster in Director Enzo G Castellari's fast and furious vigilante outing <span style="color: red;">Street Law<span style="color: black;">,</span> </span>and there is a very nice Full Wide Screen LTBX presentation on a UK PAL VHS for <span style="color: red;">The New Godfathers</span>, which is a pre certification beauty.<br />
<br />
There's a Jess Franco cannibal caper rarity in his take on the genre with <span style="color: red;">White Cannibal Queen</span>. Featuring gore feature actor greats Al Cliver & Sabrina Siani, along with Franco regular Lina Romay. <br />
<br />
The Zombie outings come in the shape of the very hard to acquire, and ridiculously expensive to buy through the regular outlets, Todd Sheets first two outings in his <span style="color: red;">Zombie Bloodbath</span> trilogy & another rarity, equally as scarce to come by on VHS today <span style="color: red;">Zombie Cult Massacre</span>. Plenty of gore and Zombie silliness all round in these releases. All three of these are pretty much as new. I purchased them from new many years ago & have literally watched each tape just the once. These VHS Tapes & Containers are in near mint condition.<br />
<br />
Please do check them all out, along with many others currently up for offer, and hopefully grab yourselves a real rarity at a good price. Thanks as always to all who take the time and trouble to check my Ebay Auctions out & my sincere gratitude to all who become winning bidders. <br />
<br />

Filippino Action fury with an anachronistic feel of a futuristic post apocalyptic movie, yet set in its contemporary time line of production in the early Eighties !?. A bizarre combination of <span style="color: red;">Mad Max</span> (1979) and <span style="color: red;">The Warriors</span> (1979). <br />
<br />
Law enforcer Sergeant W2 heads up his team of fellow enforcers against the scourge of Asia. Their greatest concern is the ever burgeoning manufacturing and distribution of drugs. The continents largest cartel is The End Of The World Organisation, and they have a centre of operations right on Sergeant W2’s patch. Headed up by the garish, fanatical Jim Jones type guru, Nosfero, and his legion of loyal acolytes. A small army of shaven headed thugs, garbed in minimalist fetish leather, bonded together like a futuristic variant of the Hell’s Angel’s. Nosfero leads them with a iron grip and the steely facial intensity of Jack Palance, set apart from his bald followers by a side set pigtail and one mean manicured uni-brow !. <br />
<br />

Sergeant W2 and two of his men get into a scrape with a rowdy bunch of Nosfero’s men outside of a club. When a knife is pulled W2 instinctively reacts by pulling out his gun. In the line of duty, and deemed in self defence, W2 shoots and kills his attacker, the brother of Nosfero !. Back at enforcer HQ W2’s superior officer informs him that he is suspended from duty, and told to take some time off. Whilst away W2 marries his sweetheart, but during their honeymoon period W2 is attacked by Nosfero’s men in an act of retribution. W2 is beaten and eternally branded by an act of castration upon his person !.<br />

W2 is a broken man, and with no job, and a wife he can no longer satisfy, he fully channels his frustrations towards Nosfero and his illegal operations. As a renegade though he is outnumbered and outclassed. Falling into the hands of Nosfero once again W2 is tortured and made an example of. Coming to W2’s aid is a female member of the Nosfero cult, a reluctant submissive soldier seeking a way out, she frees W2, and together they formulate a way to strike at the heart of Nosfero and The End Of The World Organisation’s operations.<br />
<br />

Even in castrated form W2 has the balls to bring down the rebel force, but not with a solo hand, as his loyal enforcers become his wing men once more, and aided by his new found princess this alliance is readied to bring Nosfero’s evil empire down !. W is war up against Nosfero’s camp clan of Frankie Goes To Hollywood look alike bandits, and what is it good for ?, absolutely nothing but big bang, all out explosive fun for the finale.<br />

</div>The closure is the meat and two veg of the piece that W2 longs for, and gets with the assistance of his trusted cohorts, and a customised assault vehicle that is most definitely straight out of a Euro Post Nuke movie from the Eighties. Armour plated and replete with weapons of mass destruction. W is war for sure at this juncture, and raises the films fun factor several notches. Three wheeled super charged motorbike riding villains against the Philippines version of<span style="color: red;"> Mad Max</span>, in an off road warrior warpath of wanton death and destruction. Deliriously delivered ‘Pines on toast whole hearted ‘B’ movie goodness. <br />

Luke warm prequel to the impressive original movie, and its equally thrilling sequel. The <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt</span> franchise sees the emotionless killing machines inception. Its tale of the young boy believed lost in the wilderness of the snow laden landscape in Jotunheimen, Norway, reveals what really happened, and then sets up the storyline leading into <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt</span>.<br />
<br />
Ten years or so later we are introduced to six early twenty something’s taking a hiking trip to the Jotunheimen region during the Eighties. It is springtime and so getting to the closed down hotel resort setting for the first movies is easier, although the region is just as remote. The local police enforcer gives the group of friends a ride as far as he can in his land rover. He drops them off and promises to be at the same place to pick them up a couple of days later. Time enough for them to enjoy the benefits of outdoor living. It’s not too long, however, before they are dieing to get away from it !.<br />
<br />

The killer is on the lose in the wooded region and there is nothing more agreeable than a bunch of young town folk meandering around acting stupid. Stalking, chasing and a heap of slashing and stabbings follow, all done in pretty graphic style. Picture Michael Myers let loose in natures back garden, even the wildlife begin to believe in Halloween !.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr5sSJm3HIB1OLWjz08-McER6WkcFuJ_PlXzxfdYMxc7TAie-RrETFNaSHcitmy1rUBuwY_qXCj_ur_xWc7ZtSZ3MjB_nDLKjFo-MaPxbLoUMr_s5PAQTYkBkdTC4wS0RoOsTw8fBXt68/s1600/fritt+vilt+3+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr5sSJm3HIB1OLWjz08-McER6WkcFuJ_PlXzxfdYMxc7TAie-RrETFNaSHcitmy1rUBuwY_qXCj_ur_xWc7ZtSZ3MjB_nDLKjFo-MaPxbLoUMr_s5PAQTYkBkdTC4wS0RoOsTw8fBXt68/s400/fritt+vilt+3+b.jpg" width="279" /></a></div><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />
This is the third director in the series, and although it is accepted that there has to be a whole new cast, the characters and actors are not as accomplished as the very polished original. Although <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt II</span> also had a new director in Mats Stenberg, he pretty much stuck to the formula, so perfectly sculpted by Roar Uthaug directing <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt</span>, that the film had an almost seamless continuation. With <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt III</span> it all pretty much is formulaic stalk and slash, young people in peril territory. Enjoyable enough, but you just want the running duration to play through its obvious course as swiftly as possible. Knowing that the protagonist is not going to be bested, and that it is inevitable that everyone else will die, doesn’t leave much to keep suspense or surprise going for the viewer.<br />
<br />
To its advantage the movie has the same green / brown hue to it that made the first two ventures look so very authentic. Adding credence to the fact that the movies are set twenty to thirty years ago, and delivering that feel of a slightly faded old style photograph. Perfect for the feel and texture of the movie. What is seriously undervalued here though is the effectiveness and importance the part of the snow white blanket scenario, and the ice cold conditions had to play in making parts one and two so very, very integral to the enjoy ability of the films.<br />
<br />

Perhaps <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt III</span> is best then viewed first by anyone interested in seeing the series for the first time, but for those who have revelled in the delights of the originals this outing is a tame affair and is unlikely to be revisited by true followers of parts one and two. Buy <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt</span>, and <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt II</span> and treasure in your film collection, but rent and watch <span style="color: red;">Fritt Vilt III</span> if you really want to visualise the back story, which in truth is best left to the creepy imagination and inferences made in the original films. This third <span style="color: red;">Cold Prey </span>is far from the icing on the Norwegian movie landscape, and one you can a ‘fjord’ to miss !.<br />

</div><div align="left">It's that time of year when Easter is almost upon us and the <span style="color: lime;">Ballistic Blood Bullets</span> Bunny is hopping around collecting up a whole basketful of Japanese Video Goodies to be gobbled up right now over on up at Ebay.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Star of the goodness up for grabs this month is without question the gory kick ass caveman classic <span style="color: lime;">Master Of The World</span>. Euro Italian produced prehistoric gruel where the only rules were those of survival. This particular tape on offer is in Superb condition both in Excellent quality of print, in a Fabulous Wide Screen ratio, and complete with a clean and typically cool Japanese insert. The Japanese tapes are pretty much always the standard bearers when it comes to quality, but this particular release is in all my time of collecting one of the finest issues ever, without question. <span style="color: lime;">Master Of The World</span> is a Must Have.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Familiar Eighties goodness also abounds with the delights of Luigi Cozzi's classic chunk blower, and body exploding Sci-Fi schlocker <span style="color: lime;">Contamination</span> aka <span style="color: lime;">Alien Contamination</span>, Antonio Margheriti's monster from the sea Actioner <span style="color: lime;">Alien From The Deep</span>, and the low budget, but big bang for your bucks <span style="color: lime;">Alien </span>(1979) cash in Italian rip <span style="color: lime;">Alien 2 Sulla Terra</span>.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">A massive favourite from the Post Apocalyptic cycle of Eighties Euro Action greatness from the prolific Italian production stable is <span style="color: lime;">2019: After The Fall Of New York</span>. The Michael Sopkiw and George Eastman starer from Director Sergio Martino under the pseudonym of Martin Dolman. You'd have to be a Big Ape to have missed out on this one.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Infamous Cannibal jungle gut muncher <span style="color: lime;">Make Them Die Slowly</span> aka <span style="color: lime;">Cannibal Ferox</span> eagerly awaits to be gobbled up by a collector looking for something to satisfy their hunger for this particularly grizzly genre.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Lucio Fulci's late Eighties entry <span style="color: lime;">Sodoma's Ghosts</span> is relatively hard to come by and worth checking out, but please be aware that this particular Japanese VHS release is in its original Italian language only with the usual small Japanese subtitles. There is no English dubbing nor English subtitles with this one.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><span style="color: lime;">Cruel Jaws</span> awaits a keen collector of <span style="color: lime;">Jaws</span> (1976) inspired shark attack goodness. A pretty decent outing from 'B' movie king of the Italian Xerox greatness himself Bruno Mattei. Definitely one to sink your teeth into, so please dive in early to secure, before someone else bites your hand off to get it !.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Once again, all insert art covers displayed are of the actual VHS Tape that you will be purchasing.</div><div align="left"><br />

When the government, under continued pressure, gives in to allow strictly monitored visitor access to Hanger 18 in <span style="color: red;">Area 51</span>, what has lain secret for decades takes a fancy to its ‘Alien’ visitation. <br />
<br />
Reporter Sam Whitaker (John Shea), and highly watched news blog investigator Claire Fallon (Vanessa Branch), are allowed chaperoned access to <span style="color: red;">Area 51</span>, along with their personal photographer and camera woman, to take notes and ask questions on a specially arranged guided tour. Once the doors open the floodgates soon spill forth far more than any of them could have ever imagined for, beyond their wildest expectations !. <br />
<br />

Base leader Colonel Ronald Martin (Bruce Boxleitner), of the U.S Air Force, takes the reporter quartet on the suitably arranged show and not so much tell walk through the infamous Hanger 18. Global spy devices and prototype weapons are discussed and shown off, whilst anticipated talk of any alien activity and captivity is dismissed by the military man. <br />
<br />
In a lower level of the base scientists and security go about their regular daily routines, including of course interacting with the actual alien life forms that do indeed reside, and in many cases are actually restrained in high security isolation. On this particular day, however, things do not go schedule. Alien Patient Zero, a shape shifting entity able to adopt and mimic the physiology and characteristics of whatever living thing it comes into contact with, chooses this very day, after twenty five years of passive stability, to escape its cell and wreak havoc throughout the base.<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />

The internal alarm is raised and lockdown is instigated. It isn’t just Patient Zero that Colonel Martin and his men have to concern themselves with, but the escape of some other alien entities, far less intelligent than Patient Zero, and with a violent temperament and hunger for flesh !.<br />
<br />
What excels, to the movies great credit, is its non reliance on any overly apparent CGI, and indeed some good old fashioned cool looking men in monster suits. Gore splattering, sinew snapping, blood spurting schlock horror galore ensues in this very well made, better budgeted than usual, SyFy Channel outing. Sure it borrows heavily from a multitude of Sci-Fi, horror themes and movies, but does so with an enjoyable spring in its step. Military fatigued soldiers issued with regulation weapons and perimeter scanning devices is straight out of <span style="color: red;">Aliens</span> (1986), but it’s a well used staple that pretty much succeeds every time, and this is no exception. <br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />

There is some alien folklore titbits amongst the mix to look out for, and indeed smile at their introduction, such as the introduction of Hanger 18’s resident friendly alien J-Rod, working with the military on a way to return home since crash landing here in the desert back in the fifties !. A highly intelligent being who’s understanding of the entity Patient Zero assists Colonel Martin is invaluable. Along with the four guest visitors to the base they have to work together to stay alive, and find a way to bring order back to the facility.<br />
<br />
With the nastier alien variants escaping from the lower levels, up and out to the topside facility, it lays with the brave last line of military defence to go head to tail with them. Guns and gore galore as aliens and soldiers go out on a limb to take each other out !. Pretty impressive stuff then for a made for television syndication movie, and most worthy of any sci-fi, horror, action loving fans attention.<br />

Jingle bells Santa smells, his body rotting away, Rudolph’s left and the elves bereft, since Santa got buried, along with his sleigh … but now he’s been dug up, and this Christmas ‘Yule’ all pay !.<br />
<br />
A festive frivolity of fearsome Christmas chills from Finland as the legend of yore in the shape of the original Santa Claus returns. Old books tell of the terrible tales of Santa as a child beating ogre. A young boy named Pietan is sure that on the eve of Christmas day this terrible Santa is coming to town !.<br />
<br />

A business man has a professional drill team excavating the Korvatunturi mountain in Finland. They drill down thirteen hundred feet and hit a sixty five foot thick embodiment of sawdust !. It is here that legend has it that the Saami people of Lapland centuries before created the biggest burial mound in the world. Imprisoned within the mountain burial mound it is said is this evil and original Santa Claus !.<br />
<br />

Christmas eve, and in the valley afoot the mountain the local farmers prepare their annual round up of the indigenous reindeer. A major part of their continued resource to survive with the lifestyle they are dependant upon in the region. Disaster awaits them this day, however, as the valley beneath the mountain is strewn with the dead carcass’s of the reindeer !. <br />
<br />
With their livelihood’s severely jeopardised by the discovery several of the locals traverse up the mountain to seek answers from the team of foreigners. What they discover is a derelict site, no sign of life at all, and one massive hole burrowing down deep within the mountain. Something was discovered, disturbed and released from its entombment !.<br />
<br />

That very night Pietan’s father’s wolf pit trap claims an inquisitive catch. Early in the morning the impaled body of a still twitching spindly old bearded man is retrieved. With the help of a neighbour the man is watched over in the slaughter house barn of the farmer. Pietan believes that his father has captured Santa. The boy has also discovered that all of the towns children have mysteriously gone missing. Upon seeing Pietan the old man reacts curiously and visibly appears to be recuperating from his life threatening injuries. Whoever, or whatever this old man is becomes cause for great concern.<br />
<br />

Pietan’s father, along with two friends manage to contact the business man and set up a trade for ‘Santa’ in payment for their combined losses with the slaughter of their reindeer herd. The exchange is set up, but it is within the hour before Christmas day itself, and what the anxious men have in their possession turns out to be not quite what they had expected after all, and the worst was about to befall them all !.<br />
<br />
Time to measure whether they have been naughty or nice and come to fully realise just how many little helpers Santa actually has, particularly in his hour of need !.<br />
<br />

All aboard then for a winters tale of terror. A fine slice of darkly delicious Finnish humour that is sure to ‘sleigh’ you. Big fun from an independent venture that stands more than a snowballs chance in hell at sitting atop the tree of film goodness. A wickedly wry take on the twisted tale of ye old Santa, torn straight from the stuff of childhood nightmares. The cinematography of the beautiful white snow laden environment is spectacular, and the stark landscape and insular people make the unleashing of a fearful apparition all the more believable. Very well rendered effects and a straight laced cast of real people more than compliment this accomplished feature. Santa’s entourage of elves never looked so evil. <br />
<br />

Rounded up, and rounded off, come completion, the movie’s vein of deliciously dark humour spills on over into an aptly wry epilogue. A perfectly applicable manner for such Rare Exports to, ‘Finnish’. <br />

Former C.I.A operative Lester Horton (David Janssen) is in Athens, Greece holidaying. His presence, and photography sessions, in and around the city are a cause for concern from the stationed C.I.A Chief Maxwell (Arthur Kennedy). Maxwell and Horton have a history, and the former would rather that the retired C.I.A agent were literally, no longer around !. <br />

He is the man responsible for the tape, implicating the C.I.A from high. Lester Horton is now a journalist and novelist, penning many a chapter and verse causing ripples. He is in fact in Greece to investigate the disappearance of Benson and uncover more about the tape. Maxwell suspects the same, and has his men tail him.<br />
<br />
One lead has Horton cautiously approaching a man in a cinema, during the screening of a movie, but before he can ascertain any solid information the man is shot in the back from someone sitting a few rows behind. Horton’s brief interaction with the man leads him to a former friend during his active time in the C.I.A, Joe Florio (Maurizio Merli). Their friendship was tested when Florio’s wife Anne (Corinne Clery), and Horton became attracted to each other in the past.<br />
<br />
Joe Florio is an operative on the edge of his usefulness with the C.I.A. He has been informed that he will be transferred back to America, but in reality the wheels are in motion for him to have a planned accident !. He has become an embarrassment to the agency, due to his dependency on heroin. Chief Maxwell has ordered that he be eliminated, as he is not good for the company reputation !.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></div>Lester Horton wants to help his former friend, but both he and Florio together stir up too much heat for Maxwell, and both are overtly targeted. A fantastic car chase in Rhodes has Florio believing more in Horton, and news of the tape is shared with his former friend. Their mutual respect for each other ends in tragedy as the two are cornered in one of the cities historical outdoor amphitheatres. Chief Maxwell’s right hand problem solver known as The Silent, due to his inability to talk, administers a lethal overdose of heroin to Florio, as Horton is restrained and forced to watch. Ivan Rassimov plays the role of, The Silent with an icy calmness that is effectively chilling. His performance as the bad guy extension of Chief Maxwell is very well realised, and the inevitable cumulative run in with Lester Horton is an emotive one.<br />
<br />
Chief Maxwell sanctions Horton to the insane asylum in his desire to get him to divulge information pertaining to the tape. Horton refuses to cooperate and is subjected to all of the indignities of the environment he has been placed in custody to, along with some horrendous applications by the doctors believing him to be of unstable mind. When Horton tries to escape from the institution he is subjected to electro shock treatment, which is actually difficult to watch !.<br />
<br />
Anne Florio uses her charm and respected position to call in a favour from the local police inspector, played quite perfectly by Philippe Leroy. He is an honourable and incorruptible officer of the law and facilitates the release of Horton from the institution. He reunites with Anne, and together they hold up in her secluded second home. It affords Horton some time to recuperate, but both know that it is only a matter of time before Maxwell uncovers them.<br />

A stellar cast, all delivering strong performances, adds to the enjoy ability of the film. Maurizio Merli gets to portray a more vulnerable side to his acting skills, and David Janssen is perfectly cast as a man with a past he is fighting to disassociate himself from. Arthur Kennedy delivers a demonstrative characterisation of self assured unpleasantness, and Ivan Rassimov emits an aura of stoic menace throughout.<br />
<br />
A well paced slice of Seventies Euro espionage and crime. One that does not play to the Hollywood stereotype of good versus evil, but displays the shades of grey in between. Not everyone gets all that is coming to them, delivering instead a rather sombre conclusion, but at the same time a suitably realistic one. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><span lang="EN">Stars from the world of wrestling entertainment step into the squared circle of film, in a match made in ‘B’ movie bad-ville. When a wronged family return from the dead, to take revenge upon their deceitful killers, the road to horror mania begins !.<br />
<br />
In the small township of Cedar Springs Sheriff Will Logan (Kurt Angle) has a sudden spate of savage killings to investigate. First a young woman finishing her days shift at the diner is attacked, gutted, and strung up in a make shift style of crucifixion. A crude wooden board sign is left hung around her neck, written upon it is the word Hix. Other killings soon follow in equally brutal and bloody fashion. It seems that a trio of Cajun killers are on a murder spree. Big fish gutting hooks and axes are the tools of their trade. <br />
<br />
Two night fishermen are butchered by the ghostly ghoul like killers, leaving them similarly marked with the branding of, Hix. Folk in Cedar Springs become very edgy, and when a local woman, dubbed Crazy Mary, breaks into the communal church, spouting off apocalyptic phrases and foretelling that ‘they’ have come back !, things start to get even darker.<br />
<br />
Sheriff Logan seems to be not the most popular guy in his position of authority, but sets about his business with professionalism. He investigates the only lead he has, what in fact turns out to be a name, Hix. The locals don’t want to talk, but one older generation town stalwart imparts information that the id pertains to a man named Harvey Hix. It turns out that thirty years ago he, and a band of town folk vigilantes set upon, and killed three men unwelcome in the community. The Jacobs boys and their father kept themselves to themselves but were deemed lowlife vagrants and no good riff raff, unwelcome in Cedar Springs. When they failed to move on a local girl accuses one of the Jacobs boys of raping her. The falsehood leads Harvey Hix and his vigilantes to take justice into their own hands. All three men are unjustly attacked and murdered !.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9E3NoLaulSSwGOpxFAy6pYsa-7gm6r94y9yifuNsneqtw230gX7lBU9j4Wpt4Wsuzr1sbPSoaGhd1lzvGEg04fF9UP1HT8YHmQCNfFOvQpxtKq2uz4Chd9k40qwbL1qVO3VJP4plS4U/s1600/river+of+darkness+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9E3NoLaulSSwGOpxFAy6pYsa-7gm6r94y9yifuNsneqtw230gX7lBU9j4Wpt4Wsuzr1sbPSoaGhd1lzvGEg04fF9UP1HT8YHmQCNfFOvQpxtKq2uz4Chd9k40qwbL1qVO3VJP4plS4U/s400/river+of+darkness+3.jpg" width="307" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Thirty years on and it seems that the Jacobs boys and papa Jacobs have returned from their watery grave, and are taking their own form of justice against those who turned upon them. Fish hooks in hand and gutting skills put to expert use, backed up by an axe apiece to grind out their gratuitous revenge. <br />
It’s a pretty standard affair with all the applicable traits and attributes of low budget ‘B’ movie film making. The attention to detail and plot from the writing team often leaves its audience more dumbfounded than the on screen silliness. Sheriff Logan’s lack of knowledge with both locals and town history is ridiculous. Not knowing anything at all about an infamous town lynching and murder that occurred in the last thirty years is too odd for words. It is never quite clear as to whether he was raised in the town, or come in to be appointed sheriff in recent times !?.<br />
<br />
The movie itself is pretty well filmed, and particularly the night scenes, replete with back lit creepy scenarios and suitably applied wafts of mist, make for good viewing. The best moments do actually come when the Jacobs family appear out of the mist and set about their tirade of terror. Fans of wrestling will no doubt delight in seeing the icons Psycho Sid Vicious and Kevin Nash apply their might to taking out the trash on the big screen. There really is something quite enjoyably quirky visible in their eyes when they swing that axe. Go Big Daddy ‘Kill’ !. <br />
<br />

Carpenter’s movie is an all time classic and readily re-watchable, whereas <span style="color: lime;">River Of Darkness</span>, once viewed is most likely to be ‘mist’ on repeat showings.<br />
<br />
Pretty much all of the acting is wooden and visibly stilted, with the actors concentrating more on hitting their marks than relaxing into character. Kurt Angle does his best, but comes across in the Kurt Angle wrestling character school of acting. Not altogether a bad thing as a large portion of the likely audience for this will be from his fan base, and he’s a pretty decent all round good guy anyway so why the heck not.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">This one is really for fans of the wrestling stars on show, and die hard ‘B’ movie horror fanatics easily forgiving of such well intentioned trite. Former Olympic champion Kurt Angle might have greater success in attaining future gold chasing the end of a rainbow than pursuing a serious acting career, but if he can take himself less seriously in future roles it could be good times for all. Oh it’s true, it’s damn true !.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
