His sun scorched skin, haunting blue eyes and calm demeanor command the screen one moment, and then his lightning-fast gunplay dazzles us the next.

  Eduardo Fajardo plays the leader of a ku klux klan-like…

  A total gem not just for fans of RoboCop, but for filmmakers in general. This is the new standard for behind the scenes documentaries.
