  Hostage 1987

  ★★ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  Watched the Joe Bob's Drive-In Theater of this one and it's an episode where he interviews Wings Hauser. Brilliant interview, not so much the movie. Apparently Wings was not a fan of this particular one. The film went through four different directors and it shows. It's a dumb 80s action flick so it's entertaining enough for it's cheese factor; all the classic tropes and it even has a QUICKSAND ending. Could have used more Wings Hauser though for my tastes. Minor sidenote: Karen Black's hair was on it's own personal mission throughout this thing.

  Between this and Gina, why are prostitution and textiles so intrinsically linked?

  Vice Squad 1982

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Bang! Bang! Shoot 'em up, feelin' just fine! Been baptized in the river, of the Neon Slime!

  Wings Hauser at his best in this film, carrying the entire thing with his sheer presence. Ramrod will go down (for me anyway) as one of the greatest cinematic villains in exploitation film. RIP Wings...

  The best review of the film ever is already given (full of spoilers and laughs) by Patrice O'Neal and Jim Norton.

  Touch of Death 1988

  ★★★½ Rewatched 20 Mar 2025

  Sure, it's low budget and the story is unoriginal, but if you are a fan of Fulci you can do a lot worse than this one. I'd personally consider this one of his better later efforts. It's light & humorous, and loaded with his trademark gory, graphic violence. Halsey is great, going through various disguises as he goes along, and listening to his tape deck calling him out for his mistakes. I was beginning to think he may be a little crazy or something... His ginger cat Reginald gets plenty to eat in this as well; living his best life! Rewatched on the 88 Films blu-ray.
