Many great directors have at least one early career clunker on their CV, like James Cameron’s PIRANHA II, Francis Coppola’s TONITE FOR SURE or Oliver Stone’s SEIZURE. If you think those were bad, just imagine how awful Uwe Boll’s debut feature is. Unfunny, amateurish and technically primitive series of skits, mostly in poor taste.

Eternity 1990
Astonishingly awful vanity project from co-writer/star Jon Voight, with his agent Steven Paul directing, although this mess shows no signs of any form of creative control. Ridiculous story of re-incarnation gets increasingly worse, with a televised courtroom hearing climax (more like a trial) that must be seen to be disbelieved. One scene (which has aged like milk) has Voight expressing his concerns of the dangers of right wing war-mongering propaganda. Oh, the irony.
Aptly titled: this film feels like it's going on forever. Released direct to video.Translated from by

The Violin Case Murders 1965
George Nader, of ROBOT MONSTER infamy, became an unexpected star in 1960'es West Germany as FBI agent Jerry Cotton in a series of popular Eurospy action films, of which 8 films were made. The first of these, THE VIOLIN CASE MURDERS, is a surprisingly entertaining, fast-paced actioner with G-Man Jerry busting a brutal crime ring. Filmed in German (Nader was dubbed), with Germany standing in for the US, interspersed with obvious rear projection and stock footage of NYC. Still better than so many other 007 knock-offs from the 60'es.

Serial Killer 1995
Tobin Bell is excellent as cancer-stricken serial killer (9 years before his signature role as the similarly ill-fated John Kramer), but this film is no SAW. Poorly directed thriller is as bland as its title, and Kim Delaney & Gary Hudson as the cops on his trail neither have the chemistry nor the charisma to sustain interest. Pam Grier is wasted in no-account role as a police captain.
