What are you doing here? Looking for a friend. Do you mind? Kind of friend. Kind of friend. Maybe. Maybe. Do you know where I can get some? Calling us drug dealers? Is that what you're calling me? No, I'm calling you a midget donkey fucker. You want to do something about it? It's not fair. A gun against a knife and. Por favor, no hitting below the belt. It's not ladyl. Now let's see how smart you talk when I cut out your tongue. Praise the Lord for bringing us this generous penalty.
Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Wait, wait. I worry what you just heard was give me a lot of bacon and eggs. What I said was give me all the bacon and eggs you have. L does about 56ameal, huh? Look like me back on the menu? That's why I'm hungry. Each word I say farther and farther into a radical. No secret. It's amazing. Don't skip on. I'd buy that for a dollar. No fat for me, please. When you're trying to come back. Oh, look at me. Look at me. I cannot seem EAS upset.
What about that time I found you. Naked with that bowl of junk? Hello, folks. Welcome to Cinnamon Beef. The burnt ends. It's that. It's that crispy part of the brisket that tastes so, so good. Posse some sauce. You know, and speaking of deliciousness, I have my broadcast partner on last call. Torch. He's one of them with me tonight. The. The great Cameron Scott is here. How you doing, sir? I'm doing great. I'm ready to talk some Fred Ray. Man, I love this guy.
Yeah, yeah, I forgot we're doing. Because we've been a while since we did this. We. We meant to put more of these. And that's my fault for not saying, hey, camera, you want to do some more of these? So if you can recall the last that we're gonna do, we'll do that to these two jams. But we figured we kick it off proper back again and do some Braille and Ray jams tonight. One, then probably Sunday night, another one. Behind the scenes stuff.
This is Commando Squad from 1987. And here's the trailer. It was the perfect setup to infiltrate a drug operation from the inside. But suddenly something went terribly wrong. We sent 20 of our best agents down there to bust up that little paradise. Seven of them are missing in action. They mailed the rest of them to us in very small pieces. I'll send you a postcard. How you gonna handle it? Like I always do. Organized chaos. She's his only hope for survival and the last stand for
justice. She's coming and you can't stop. She's afraid of me. I'm not afraid of her. If you're dealing with the underworld, the game can get dirty. This place is got to burn. But when you call in this dynamic duo, the game will change and the war will just begin. Because they're the army that's gonna blow this battle wide open. Culprit, Brian Thompson and playmate of the year, Cathy Showers. Together, they're the toughest team in town, rewriting the book on law
and order. Sometimes it's not you play the game, it's how you win. And if you want to win, call in Commando Squad. Commando Squad. Your cheap applause synopsis is an American narcotics agent takes her squad to Mexico where she wants to break up a drug smuggling gang that has also kidnapped her boyfriend. That is a shitty plot synopsis for this movie. We'll talk lazy writing right there. That's lazy writing. It's a sadder boyfriend, for one thing.
We'll talk about that, though. That's. Yeah, yeah. There's an inconsistency in that. This is directed by Fred Olive Ray, written by Michael Sonier. I have to see what his credits are real fast. I'm curious is this is. Because this is good, but it's kind of cheap at the same time. So we're gonna look right now and see what he wrote. Known for. Oh, the voice. He's also known as Dookie Fly Swatter, right? Oh, that's him. Okay. Yeah, same guy. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I was gonna make
that joke in Cyclone that it was. If it's a freaking dookie supply squatter joint, it's obviously this or freaking David Dakota movie. But he is directed by the one and only Dookie Fly Swatter. Or written by. I mean, did not know that was his real name. I just always come to keep Lywater. This stars Kathy Shower as Cat Withers. Now she's in a bunch of films like this and a Bunch of Skin Max that you may have seen. Late Night Posse pulling your pud.
I have no idea. But she's in a lot of those kind of movies. And including, including, including. Including Irresistible Impulse, Love Street, Fatal Choice. That can go either way. There's more of these. She's in a lot of these, you know, bumping and grinding type movies. The Skin of AX era, the Skin of X era. It's a wonderful thing. The legendary Brian Thompson, you know him from. From Cobra And Fright Night Part two and so many, many, many things. Mortal Kombat, Annihilation,
if you're nasty. He's in that as well. The great William Smith, one of the best heavies that have ever heavied as Morgan Denny. His credits go on and on and on. The exploitation era. I'm not even going to go into it, but, you know, we do a. Whole series like Last Call of Torches is on William Smith. That guy's been in everything. I keep waiting for Doug Tilly because he's. They're looking for a new show to do after the big Diaz
show ended. I must suggest that to do William Smith movies because there's a lot of good ones out there, and one of which is a favorite I I the Tiger with Gary Busey. Well, William Smith plays the heavy in that movie, and I. Oh, yeah. When he plays the big badass bald biker. Yeah. I love that movie. I mean, of course, he's also Conan's daddy. Conan's dad, yeah. Yeah. The late,
great. I. I still miss him. Every time I walk into a convention, every time I see a Days of the Dead and he's not there, I get real sad. It's Sid Haig is Iggy looking like a Mexican street pimp in this movie. And I'm not even mad about it. Okay. You know. Oh, me neither. I, I hadn't seen this movie, so I'm giving that away here. Earlier on, when I saw that Sid Haig was in it, I was just like, I, I am all in. Oh, it's a sign of quality for sure,
man. Yeah. Other folks include Robert Quarry, who you may know as Count Yorga in the Count Yorga movies. Mel Wells Quintano, Marie Windsor as Casey Andre as Anita. As some other folks in here, Russ Tamblyn shows up as an anchor. I just, I've been watching Twin Peaks, so I've been seeing Russ Tamblyn a lot again. For the first time ever, I've been watching Twin Peaks. How's that going for you? It's going good. It's going good. I'll talk about that. Another show for sure.
Ross Hagen is Cowboy. There's some other folks in here. Michelle Bauer shows us probably an unannounced boobage moment, I'm sure. Probably random Mexican damsel in distress. I don't even know. But, you know, the thing is, I saw her name in the credits and we just met her like six months ago at Cinema Wasteland, and I was just like, oh, great, Michelle Bowers in this. But I'm like I could not find her. She must have been like the third refugee from the left.
Could be, yes. Because I watched this twice and I'm just like, I couldn't fucking tell you where she was in that movie, man. Yeah, your basic plot is. This is the plot of Commando basically where, you know, they're told her team is dead. She goes to go find one of the members of her team in a Mexican encampment. And it turns out that that William Smith, who's not Vernon Wells, is not dead and he's working for this
group, mercenaries. And she's gotta go blow out old Brian Thompson or be the hero with her, her fake Joan jet wig on and blow some people away. Oh, that wig is what's better than her hair. I'll get into that when I have my, my talk about that. So you know, Cameron, first time watching you, first time watch for me. What'd you think of Commando Squad from 1987? Well, dude, if you can. If the listeners at home can't tell from the model laughing that we're doing this movie's a hoot.
And by saying that, I'm like, I'm not saying it's good. It's one of those. And I do believe in this saying. I'm a firm believer in something that's so bad it's good. This movie is pretty self aware what it is. It's a spoof of action movies. It's got every trope, it's got the damsel in distress, but the damsel is Brian Thompson. So go figure that one out. As Clint, he spends more time being captured and running away than he does anything. And that's not a slight to his
character, to his acting, because he does great. But this movie is like a who's who of Z grade actors of the 80s. And I say Z grade. I mean that with utmost respect because I love the Z grade stuff. You know, Robert Corey, William Smith, Sid Haig, I mean, Russ Tamblyn, I mean everybody else that's in it. I mean, I'm a huge Robert Corey fan and I've been a fan of his ever since I saw My mother introduced me to the, the Count Jorgen movies when I was a kid.
So this movie was just a hoot to watch. Like everybody in it. I'm pointing, I'm like, oh, that's Tank, you know, that's Tane McClure. Oh, that's Ross Hagen. Like, you know, everybody was somebody that I recognized. And the action is good, is really good as well choreographed. I mean and when I started diving into this, doing the kind of a deep dive, I couldn't believe that this movie was filmed
for 750,000. Now I don't know if those numbers were fudged up for something, but it has a feel of a much bigger budgeted movie. And I usually. I just have an infinite love for movies that are inept, you know. And I have to say that about Fred Olin Ray. A lot of his movies are very much on the fringe, but I love this. I'd say it's a lot like his other 80s actioners. Like Terminal Force is a little similar to that. It's a little similar to Armed Response which
I've seen several times. So I don't know how this one ever slipped past me. I always was renting movies like this when I was a kid. So I have to thank you for, you know, suggesting us to doing this one. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed this film immensely as first time watch. Yeah, I'm right there with it is a tolerable yet enough action film. I mean the plot's real loose. I mean she our lead actress who was playmate of the year 1986 by the way. So she's used to taking her clothes off. We don't see any
of that in this movie. I guess they, they. I guess Fred found a girl that takes her clothes off but doesn't take clothes off in his movie. I, I guess he did a good job there, I guess. But she's a cop. I guess it's gonna go on vacation. But of course, you know, this one job sucks her back in and it goes on from there. I think it's biggest. It's not his biggest crime because he thinks this right away takes us. This actress is that. Well, it's not just at this point
she's just a model. It turns into her to a pretty decent action star for probably one of her first times out in something like this. Yeah, I thought she handled it pretty well for being, you know, pretty much, you know, a newbie at the business. I, you know, I wasn't that familiar with her. You know, I've seen a couple of those Skin and Max movies back in the day. But she handles the action fairly well. I mean she makes it look believable. Told the gun right for one thing. So that's
a big first step. One that you know, she told an assault rifle is obviously not. Not real or else she probably knock around a little ass. But you know they have the whole. And this is where it's pretty right Away because you have the opening sequence to where she's looking for somebody. I forget the plot point, but she follows them into like of course, a steel warehouse to where she dispatches them. And I don't know if, if Fred had like good
stunt coordinators on this movie working with him. I think on the next one we're talking about the stunt coordinator acts and, and, and does the stunts and the next we're gonna talk about. But he made it, he may look good as far as like her movements and how she handles the gun and all kinds of other good stuff. And I, I, I have to commend him for that because
I doubt a lot of it had to do with her. I mean, I had a talk with Bradley Greg, who's Philip in Nightmare 3, and Cody Culp from Class of 1999. I talked. Oh yeah, yeah, Cody, I remember that character. Yeah. And he was telling me that, you know, he, they had John Wayne's like stuntman, you know, working on that movie. And this is who in Steve McQueen stuntman who taught him how to handle the weapon. And that's the big first step for me is as long as they know
how to handle the weapon. A lot of films can be handled, like watching Danny Bonaduce play the bass guitar of the Parsons family. Like he's not, he's just kind of like rocking it up and down. Not really do anything with it, you know. But yeah, she does it real good in this movie though. And I have to
commend him for that. Yeah, I have to also give her some accolades because she didn't do the thing that most, you know, non weapon coordinated kind of people do with the weapons and they walk around with their finger on the trigger all the time. That bothers the shit out of me. Yeah, it's just like that's not proper gun safety. It's like at least like tell your actors that don't put your finger on the trigger until you're supposed to pull it.
But one of the biggest mistakes that I, we talked about her hair earlier and the raven wig that she wears in this movie where she takes it off, she has like this big poodle mess, blonde hairdo and like. Yeah, you should have kept the wig on, darling. It kind of takes away the illusion that like you're this Joan Jet badass now. You look kind of sad a little bit, you know. Oh yeah, that's definitely a Joan Jet wig
man. Yeah. But yeah, I, I like the whole concept of this. Like she goes to Mexico, she finds her, her former partner Former, you know, team member that she thought was dead. He takes her, takes her into camp, like, huh, I got something here. You think she has it. But you know, the movie's about, only about a third of the. And so of course the double cross happens and I, I just love the reverse, the reverse effect in this movie because Brian Thompson is captured. I mean they're pulling his teeth
out, doing all kind of nasty to him. Oh yeah, they're torturing the. Out of him. Usually in a movie like this, you know, it'd be the other way around. The woman, the woman gets kidnapped and you even thinking already writes, writes women pretty well though I will say as far as in these kind of movies. But it's a nice change for, for 80. For 87. You were. A lot of these action films are very male driven to have inexperienced Kathy shower, you know, kind of show them
up a little bit, you know. Yeah, I think they reversals roles very well. Like I never thought about it until like halfway through it. I'm like, yeah, this is like a. Pretty much a role reversal for, you know, I mean especially. That's pretty progressive for 1987, man. Yeah. Plus of course you got great heavies. I mean when Sidhe comes on screen, he has some, some great lines in this movie too. And oh yeah, of course, just, just a towering,
you know, presence. He didn't gotta say anything. He's like, he's like Franco Nero. He gotta say nothing. He just kind of stands there and you know, the whole thing with them literally up to it, it kind of lulls in the middle a little bit. For me. That's my, my guess, my biggest, you know, a bitch about the film. But you know, it does drag in the middle for it because it feels like all of a sudden in the middle they didn't know where they're gonna go with it. Yeah, but you know,
that's, that's, that's problem with the writers for me. I mean, because of 4.1 on IMDb that's not really fair to me. I, I'd say that's closer to a six if you ask me. But yeah, I give it a six. Maybe like a six and a half maybe, you know, I think. But yeah, a 4.1. You said that was on IMDb. Yeah, that's kind of, kind of because. Yeah, that's low balling. It does a lot of things for, for, for a low budget action here directed by
Fred Olin Ray. I mean once you get past all the stuff with, you know, they throw a love Interest in there, which I think is really stupid with. With the Hispanic girl. Oh, Anita. Yeah. They just kind of throw that in there because she's the contact. And it really doesn't go anywhere, but it picks up, you know, in the grand. The great escape at the end. And I think that, you know, it just. Yeah, they were looking for something to fill that. Fill 85 minutes. And the middle part lacks, but the
rest of it rocks, I'd say. Yeah, I mean, it's got a great first. First, you know, half an hour, and then it's got a, you know, the second half hour. Kind of like you said, it lulls a little bit, but then, like, it really picks up in that, you know, that final third. Yeah. Oh. Oh, here's the guy. Oh, that's it. No, that's the wrong guy. Never mind. One thing I liked about this film a lot was. And the next film, too is like the front rock score that they gave it.
Oh, yeah. That real weird synth track that it's got. Yes. The synth mix with the guitars, it's working for me. It's not like a lot of other films I've seen where, you know, they have, like. He did, like, Casio keyboards. We did one a while ago called Wired to Kill. Me and Ricky Morgan did a short time doing crippled theater. And it was just like. Somebody got a Casio keyboard from fucking Radio Shack and said, I'm gonna make a music score. And then they put it in the movie and, you know.
Yeah, it's. It's a notch above that. It's not much above that, but it's a notch above. I would totally rock this soundtrack if I had it on CD or something, I would fuck Rocket. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think, though. I gotta say, though, when you were mentioning a few minutes ago about Sid Haig chewing up the scenery and having the best lines. I love the line he has in the opening scene with Brian Thompson and Tayne McClure when he's just like. Like, where they said something
to the effect of like, oh, is this homegrown? You know, is this. You know, I don't know anybody that has cocaine, you know, local to the area. He's like, what am I supposed to do, man? Advertisement Advertise it. Cocaine five miles out. Said it only the way that said, hey, can. Oh, yeah. Dressed like a fucking extra from Miami Vice, he was, man. Oh, yeah. With the. With the lapels and everything. Just looking. He's looking fly, I gotta say. It's like he. He kept his wardrobe
from which. Which Pancreas. Was he in. Was he in Coffee? Was that the one he was in? I thought it was Foxy Brown, but it might have been Coffee. One of those. He had a suit like. Just like that. It's almost like he kept his wardrobe. He brought it to set. It's like, this is what I'm gonna wear today, you know? Would you tell that man no? I. I tell that man no. When he. To what? He used to take my phone and call random people and them. Yeah, I never told him that. No way.
That either. But, you know, again, I'm having. I'm having Sid Hay memories here. You know, they're good memories. I missed that man. Actually, I looked it up while we were talking. It was Foxy Brown. Okay. I know it's one of those two. I just couldn't recall. They kind of. Actually, no, I scrolled even further back. He's in Coffee as well. Oh. So it could have been either one, man. I wasn't going crazy. Yeah, he's wearing a suit just. Just like
that, though. Like the blue lapels and stuff. And. Yeah, it's. It's like, hey, dude, I got my own wardrobe covered. God damn it. You know? Oh, my gosh. But, yeah, this is a ton of fun. I'm sorry. Go, Cameron. I was just. I was just gonna say almost the exact same thing. This movie is shit. Ton of fun. I mean, it's action packed. It does lull in the middle a little bit. But if you can't get behind William Smith and Sid Haig together as heavies in this and Brian Thompson,
I mean, with everybody that's in. If you can't get behind this movie, I. I don't know that we can be friends, man. You know, I would tell somebody that, like, what you didn't find Commando Squad, like, I wouldn't. I wouldn't say is like, you know, the John Wick of action movies or anything, but it's fucking fun. It's a good way to spend less than 90 minutes.
And William Smith dressed like he's getting ready to go on a Hawaiian vacation throughout the whole movie, trying to pretend that he's not doing his best. Vernon Wells, I mean, that's. He's great as that heavy Morgan because, you know, like I said, I went into this blind. I hadn't. I hadn't watched it before, but I, you know, I like the twist that, you know, he was, you know, a DEA agent that went, you know, went rogue and went
bad. I kind of like that idea. You know, it's I wouldn't say it was that different for the time because they were definitely kind of riffing on, you know, the Vernon Wells slash commando movie a little bit. That is what they're doing wholesale right there. Yeah. Minus the chain veil. But the mustache is intact, you know. Oh yeah, the mustache is there. And. And when you got William Smith is, is your like main
heavy, you know, you're gonna have a good time. Oh yeah. Because you do the whole thing where they think all the guys are dead, they're presumed dead, and all of a sudden, hey, they're alive, you know, I. Love how they just, they dispatch. How they dispatch William Smith at the end with that knife, what was it? Sulfuric acid or whatever the hell it was. Did she stab him in the dick or she stabbed. I can't tell because they really don't show like the
penetration obviously. But obviously downstairs is where he meets his end, you know. Yeah. If it's not in the junk is very. It's junk adjacent. One of my favorite parts about this movie is like, again, I think Brian Thompson escapes. Escapes his captors a good two or three times. And the one time he escapes them, he like has like bimbo moments to where he has a handgun. He dispatches the guy with the machine gun, doesn't go back for the bigger gun, tries to steal the motorcycle.
The motorcycle falls over. He can't pick it up, of course. I mean, it's almost like again he's. He's like the damsel under stress. He can't do anything. So it's almost like, yeah, he's weak. I guess maybe he's weak from being in prison all this time. That's what I took it as. I took it like he's been, he's been being chased, he's been beat up, he's been shot at, he's been had the shit tortured out of him, like.
And he's been tied up for fucking days. I. I just kind of took it as like he just, you know, he was just running out of gas and. But you know, he's not the hero of the movie. You know, that's Kathy Showers character cat. She's definitely. Because he even says, he's like, oh, when he tells. When William Smith has that kind of father to son moment. Brian Thompson even says that, he's like, why are you having this talk with me? He's wait a minute. He's like,
they suck cat on you, didn't they? And he just kind of laughs at him. He's like, oh, one of those like you were in so much trouble, dude. You know, and like. Because she's the badass of this movie. Yeah. And that again, that's a nice switch. And it's not something that happened back in these days. I gotta give him. I gotta give him the love he deserves, you know? To Fred and good old Dookie Flyswatter. I wouldn't ever call him Michael Sonier. Never. His name
is Dookie Fly Swatter. Okay. You know, I mean, you know, hey, he's. He's my boy, man. And like. But between Nightmare Sisters and Sortie Babes and Slime Ball Bolarama, you know, man, that dude's the man. I actually still have a cup. A copy of his album on audio cassette. Not. Not on cd, not even on vinyl. He had a band called Haunted Garage. Yeah. And it was just a bunch of punk, you know, kind of weird cramp style punk rock. But if you're. If you're so inclined to look it up, you can find that
some of the songs on YouTube is highly worth. They have songs. They have songs in Nightmare Sisters and they have songs. And in Cyclone. They perform live in Cyclone. You know, spoilers for that review. But the band performs live in Cyclone. Oh, nice. Yeah. So looking forward to that. You get some Haunted Garage action in the next movie for sure. But as far as actually this. This is a fine action and you could do a lot worse. Biggest, you know, thing I could toss in the garbage is there's too
much gender monologue with Cat. In my opinion. It just. There's too much going on. Yeah, it's not. What was that movie called with Duda Cough? Me and Me Lee did it for Be part of the Cannon. Was it river of Death or something? It was called. Yeah, river of Death with the old duty. Yeah, Dude Cough. The whole whole time was doing the inner monologue, you know? Oh, yeah, that inner monologue, it sounded like something that was from another movie.
Like they had filmed like a film noir and they just like half the, like, half the time I understood why they were using it, but other times it would just be like her infiltrating the. The area. Like all the money they had and they. They set. You know, they. They set up this shitty little camp and. Oh, my God, I was just like. It was so monotone. Like, as an actor, she was really good. She did a decent job as an action actor, but doing voiceover work and monologue
was just not. It's not her forte, man. Yeah. Yeah, that's. That's really the only thing. Bad thing I have to say about her is that the inner monologue was terrible. But that was a director and writer decision. Not so much her decision, obviously, but it wasn't, it wasn't necessary. It's kind of like. It's kind of like, you know, and I'm not the biggest Blade Runner fan. But I was thinking the same thing. That sounds really stupid there too. I'll say about that.
Yeah, yeah, I would be totally. For like this movie would go up to. From a 6 to 7 if you could give me a non monologue cut. Yeah, give us the. Which I, I can see this one, you know, and I really haven't surprised that more Freddle and Ray jams haven't reached like a Vinegar Syndrome or Severin release because this would be a fun one. And, and a lot of these guys are still with us. Of course. I'm sure if they tried real hard, they could throw a stone
and get a Kathy shower to do. Do something, something. And Brian Thompson do something, you know. Oh yeah. Is William Smith gone now? Where. Look right now and I'll tell you. Yeah, he passed away like four or five years ago, I think. 20, 21. Yeah. Yeah, this would be a fun release today. They grabbed this because the, the version I watched was like a VHS rip, unfortunately. And. Same, same. Yeah, the dark spots were dark and you know, the fuzzy spots were
real fuzzy. Yeah, the sound was exceptionally good. I would give it that though. Yeah, it was exceptionally good and I, I just need more. I need a better version of this and I think I would enjoy it even more and. But we'll, we'll leave it with this. Anything else you want to say about it, Cam, before we head out? Yeah. To the people at Severin and the people of Vinegar Syndrome or Arrow. Get off your asses and do a release of this. The. The elements have got to be there.
Just contact Fred Olan Ray. Hell, I mean it needs a dvd. It needs least a, you know, a Blu Ray or I would even dare say a 4k because I would love to see a good version of this. And if we could only get the. I'm gonna say the, the non monologue cut, I would give that a 7. The only other thing that I would say that would make this movie better would have been a bookend with Robert Quarry's character at the end. I feel like they, you know, they, they used him pretty much. You know,
they look like they had him for a day or two. I could have done with another. I could have done with another five minutes of him Arguing with the Chinese takeout guys on the phone. That was, that was great stuff. But, yeah, great movie. Wonderful first time watch. I mean, everybody in it is, is, you know, working their asses off. You know, you show up for William Smith, but you stay for Sid Haig, is what I, I got to say about that.
Sid Haig is the mvp. But, but then again, Sid Haig is always the MVP whenever you put him on camera. And, you know, and like you said, I miss that man immensely. You know, every time I saw him at a Horror Hound or Days of the Dead or whatever convention, he was somebody that was always larger than life and such a genuinely nice person. I miss him.
But to think that we still have movies like this, that at least for me and for you, Gary, that we haven't seen yet, because we're just going to say that the amount of films out there are almost infinite because there's so many of these movies that we, we haven't seen. And I, you know, I, I appreciate this movie for the, you know, giving that to us. Like I
said, it's a great time. It's a fun watch. You want, if you want something not like a Fast and the furious movie that's 2 hours and 45 minutes long, you want something that's a CRISP, you know, 85 minutes, you know, the won't, you know, kill you on your. Your evening, watch this movie, man. It's badass. You know, you think that, you know, when they put the rock in on the back of the Pontiac Fiero, I would have strayed me away from the Fast and the Furious series. They literally went into space
with this car. But it didn't. Yeah, I stuck around for, for, for Jason Mo as just like gay lion. I was all for it, man. You know, I liked it. I liked it. But I'm just saying, you could watch this movie twice in the time. You could watch one Fast and Furious movie, you know. Yes, indeed. At least one and a half times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, this is totally service play. I've seen tons worse than this movie. Again,
Kathy Shower. She really gets an MVP for a lot of this film because she is inexperienced as an actress and as an action person. But I had to look up the stunt coordinator real fast. I lost the dang thing already as it is. But look right now and tell you who dang. Make up the problem. Make up the problem. Sound effect, stunts, stunt coordinator. Oh, it doesn't show it. Oh, well. But whoever was that who taught her how to handle stuff and handle herself and the Guns and the action made
her look really good on screen. Not just as a female presence, but as an action presence. And I got to give it flowers for that, man. It's just. It's just fun for that reason that she took on this role, you know, and. Yeah, because it was supposed to be civil danning, what I read. And then there was some sort of weird falling out or there's a weird thing that happened between her and Fred Owen Ray. And I like civil danning, but I think Kathy Shower did a fucking great job.
I have no problem with her casting in this. I would take either one. I would take either one. But, yeah, aces, man. This is fun. It just needs to be. Be more. Be more available to people, in my opinion. And I never knew Dookie Fly Squatter could write an action movie, but now I could say he can. So there's that, you know, and add. That to his resume. And also doing the voice of the imp. Voice of the imp. And you know, Omar the swami from the beginning of Nightmare Sisters.
And that man's got like the biggest lips on a white man I've ever seen in my life. Bigger than Steven Tyler. Okay. Is all I'm saying. But yeah, we'll leave it at that. If you guys got the gumption, go check out Cameron's show, the Cinema Degeneration podcast. I just listened to a banging episode of the Grindhouse Pizzeria where you did 1984. Yeah, that was a fun one, Class. I tell you before. I'm sorry. But yeah, it's. It's always a good time over on that show. And if you guys are
feeling nasty, go. Go subscribe to the butcher shop too. If you guys listen here, you guys are subscribed already. And the after Movie Diner with John Cross. You can hear the other half of the in the Parade Way shows there having a good time with him doing those. Talking about one auteur, Michael Perret. But on the next episode of this, we're going to talk about what a tour. Fred Olin Ray once again. And we're gonna go with Heather Thomas. We're gonna go with Martin Landau. We're gonna go
with. Who else is in that? Oh, Jeffrey Combs. I saw Combs. He's in that movie for a short time. No spoilers yet about a supercharged motorcycle that he invents that apparently has lasers and makes girls with big boobs. And a scientist, apparently, because we'll talk about that later too. But this is the actioneer again, the Cyclone, I think, from the same year or right around the same year. But, yeah, it's a lot of fun. And we'll. We'll talk about that in the next episode of the Burnt Ends.
But this has been civic podcast Burnt Ends, where if you got beef, we've got the grinder. Have a good evening. Adios, folks. Yes, Cyclone is stupid fun.
